I had to stop into The Rio to take care of some business with a casino host friend of mine. It was Tuesday around 1:00pm. I guess that's when they open the cages for play time. Walking through the big spinney doors, I then headed right, towards VIP Check-In. On my left, as I was walking down the aisle was this dude, had to be about 35/40. He was leaning all the way back in his chair playing a Video Poker machine.
I'm not one to beat around the bush, I'd rather drive right in...to the bush. The dude had No Arms. But wait Mr. JT Vegas, Didn't you say he was playing the slot machine? That's right kiddies, he was playing the slot machine, BUT NOT WITH HIS HANDS!!! This dude (more power to him) was playing BAREFOOT. This guy was like a monkey. It was amazing.
With his toes spread real wide, he would grip the Video Poker machine lever in between his Big Toe and Middle Finger Toe with his right foot, and with his left Big Toe he pressed the "Hold" "Draw" buttons. It was like a train wreck, I just couldn't look away. This story is in no way any attempt on my part to make fun of this individual. I feel that this man made up for lack of arms with his imagination, creativeness, and determination. Not to mention the ability to take on a gambling addiction on top of everything else going on with this guy.
