Our second day of working turned out to be our busiest. After checking our of the Super 8 we jumped on the causeway back to Biloxi to hit a casino recommended by the motel staff, called Boomtown. But Boomtown proved to be a misnomer and quickly erased any hope for a hat trick of wins. We left Biloxi and headed northwest to Baton Rouge and our rendezvous with US 61 our main route for the trip.
We stopped at a Baton Rouge casino, Hollywood Casino, which appeared to be an actual sternwheeler converted to a casino, as opposed to casinos made to look like river boats. Unfortunately my luck from the morning did not wear off and the score was now even with two wins and two losses. Mel did eke out a minor victory. The real payoff came though when the pit boss awarded us buffet lunches presumably because we were “new players” (as opposed to nomadic black jack players who happened to stop by) another reason could be that they took about half an hour making up player cards for us. In any case we did get to eat on Tuesday something not really guaranteed at that point based on our play. After lunch we hopped back into Hyundai 61 and headed north on 61 to the state of Mississippi.
