Pointless waste of time, but that’s what vacation is for!

Last week I had my vacation, and one of my goals was to head to the casino and play Match Game.
There’s nothing particularly interesting about this game, it’s just another stupid time wasting slot machine based on the classic 70’s gameshow. I’m not sure why I like the original game show (or the nickle slot of the same namesake). Maybe it’s watching Richard Dawson smoke his brains out on national TV. Maybe it’s Charles Nelson Reilly parading around in a feather boa long before gay was sheik, and 99% of america probably just assuming “he was joking”. Maybe it’s that awful 6 foot long microphone that Gene Rayburn would lug around. Rayon, polyester, massive hair, huge ties, the 70’s were just so much cooler….
I smuggled out some pictures of me winning. Here’s my buddy Gene Rayburn, about to fork over some dough.
And here’s Charles Nelson Reilly handing me an easy bonus round win.
In the end, Match Game robbed me of about 70 bucks. I think I’ll stick to watching it on the GameShow network. Besides, the slot machine doesn’t even have Richard Dawson. That’s just stupid.
