It’s in aid of various emergencies around the world. The first hour is in aid of the earthquake victims in China. I have to put in $500 for the day and my wife and I attend the full day of Fun and Games at the Village Church Hall. The Vicar is in charge and turns a blind eye to the gambling activities. We arrive at 8 and are ushered to our table where four other couples are waiting for the fun to start. The first game is online Bingo. My wife is the local Bingo champion at the church and after an hour when the session ends we have a won a huge pile of chips. Then we move to the online roulette wheel which is in aid of the cyclone victims in Myanmar. I’m pretty handy at the roulette wheel and I play confidently, scattering $50 chips around freely. The game goes well and I make couple of big hits, one especially big one when I let a wining bet ride and I pick up nearly $30,000 which makes the Vicar blush and gasp. I make a sizeable donation to the church for the New Roof Fund. Next is the blackjack table for the Darfur refugees who are fleeing all over Africa. My wife plays a steady but sound game of online blackjack, which she calls “21” and in almost no time at all, with some pretty strategic doubling and splitting, she rakes in a small pile of chips. In afternoon we play on the online slot machines. I tell my wife to play only on the slots marked “Progressives” and to play only “Max Coins”. The jackpot bell rings in the twenty-fifth minute. I cover my ears in order to avoid embarrassment, but my wife doesn’t understand and faints when the jackpot is announced. “Three million two hundred thousand dollars!” The Vicar refuses to even look at me let alone shake my hand. At the midnight chip count we are miles ahead of the field. I donate everything, all the chips, the humungous jackpot, the prize, everything. I mean if we did it once we can do it again, right?
