We stop to play for an hour or so and what determines how long we stay and how we rate a casino is if there is anything spectacular or different about it and whether the slots are really tight or we can at least play for a while on our money without losing it all within 10 minutes.

The thing is, once inside they all pretty much look the same. The plan was to hit 31 casino's in 5 days. We took a trip from Michigan to Atlantic City traveling through Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Indiana taking different routes going out and coming back.
