Soaring Eagle

Walking into the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mount Pleasant I hit a wall of noise and lights from the slot machines. This is only my second time going to a casino in my whole life and it is definitely a new experience. Taking a second to bring it all in, I stop and watch all the people around me. Some are at slot machines while others are at the card tables or just walking around. Every once and a while I hear an excited voice screaming, hmm they must have one big. Following Brandon through the maze of noisy machines, I allow him to lead me to one of the slots he wants to play and we sit down. After what only seemed like a few minutes, but really it was over an hour we decided that since we were losing way more than we were winning, we would head over to the Black Jack table. I did not have a clue how to play Black Jack a few hours earlier, but Brandon gave me a quick walk through of the game before we left for the casino. I was a little, okay a lot  iffy about the whole Black Jack thing, but Brandon assured me that it would be okay and he would help me out, so I sat down with twenty dollars while he threw a fifty dollar bill down. I was pretty confused at first, but the other people sitting at the table and the dealer were very nice and there was another girl at the table that also didn't know how to play. Everyone assured me that I was doing pretty good and it seemed like it because my pile of little red chips was growing. Brandon ended up throwing another fifty down, but he was betting like three more chips than I was. In the end I came ahead over one hundred dollars while he came ahead a couple hundred, my big better that he is. So overall it was a pretty good experience and I think we will stick to Black Jack instead of the slots from now on.
