There are things I've never told you. There are games I've never told you about. I simply have to withold the information. It's not because I don't like you or disrespect you. It's because I have to hold my position in the game. But there are some things that I will now divulge.
Two months ago, changes on the machines caused me to take a big cut in pay. From a $70 an hour guy, I got myself reduced to a $38 an hour guy. But that won't get me to give up Montana....or more precise, the Montana people, who are very strong friends of mine.
But there is something else coming....The Montana Legislature legalized video line games. The changes on the machines will start on 1 Jan 2012. It has the potential to put an end to my 4 and a half year career in Montana.
I've informed my Montana friends that my stop in Montana may be coming to an end. To me gambling ain't about nothing but surviving....and surviving ain't about nothin' but gambling.
Even at my advanced age, I am simply unwilling to compromise. I gamble for a livng, period. I will go wherever I have to go to prove it. I don't care if I have to jump a freight train to prove it. I'm an old freight train rider. Trust me, my friends, Mickey Crimm might be coming to a town near you.
