The sign on the dock simply said, "Ferry to Lady Luck." Tied to the dock was a sixty-five foot power launch. As the woman walked from the parking lot to the dock the older man in the ticket booth watched closely.
She was wearing tan slacks and a tan silk blouse. The toe of her tan shoes showed as did the bottom of her spiked heels. Her hair was honey blonde and shoulder length. She carried a dark brown Gucci bag in her right hand and there were two diamond rings on that hand. The outline of a lacy bra showed through the silk of her blouse and that bra appeared to be working hard to contain the breasts within. Every step caused the front of her blouse to shift from side to side.
At the ticket booth she stopped and handed the old man a ten dollar bill. He handed her an already torn ticket and buzzed her through the turnstile. He turned and watched her walk to the gangway and onto the boat. As he watched her walk he licked his lips. She was a looker.
On board Nita Hamilton walked forward and found a seat. As she sat down a young woman in a white uniform approached.
"May I get you something to drink or a snack?"
"White wine, please."
In less than a minute the waitress was back with the white wine. No mention of payment was made and in fact if Nita had wanted to pay or tip it would have been politely refused. Nita sat quietly nursing the wine for a few minutes as other passengers boarded. As the clock in the ticket booth showed two o'clock the engines started and five minutes later the boat left the dock.
Nita Hamilton had been taking this boat once or twice a week for a month. She rode this boat out to the Lucky Lady to gamble. Her doctor husband had no idea where she went or how much she was spending each week. He was so mired in the politics and intrigue of the hospital that he only remembered he was married when there was an event that required that Doctor and Mrs. Hamilton be in attendance. Nita had lots of freedom and lots of money. She liked both.
The ride out to the Lucky Lady took half an hour. When it tied up next to the Lucky Lady Nita was the third passenger off. She knew the layout well and went directly to the cashier. She took $10,000 in cash from her purse and gave it to the cashier. She was given $9,000 in chips. The ship took ten percent of all the money brought on board. When someone cashed out at the end of their stay they got all the money they had won or all they had left.
Nita carried the chips in her purse. She went to a Texas Hold-um table and sat down.
An hour later Nita had $23,000 in chips in front of her. Three hours later Nita had $66,500 in chips and she took a break. She went towards the dining room and was met by Carlos, one of the casino supervisors.
"Hungry, Mrs. Hamilton?"
"Yes. I thought I'd get a nice sandwich or perhaps a salad."
"May I offer you the use of one of our suites and room service?"
She agreed and followed Carlos to a nice suite with a table just inside a sliding glass door and another table just outside the door on a balcony. Carlos picked up the phone and then asked Nita what kind of salad she would like.
Two minutes later the salad arrived and was served on the balcony. Carlos told Mrs. Hamilton to take her time, enjoy her food and if she wanted anything else just pick up the phone. Then he left.
Nita ate and relaxed as well as she could. She used the bathroom and then was anxious to get back to the table. She had followed her pattern of gambling. She kept the chips in front of her in three stacks of ten chips. When she had four stacks she would put one stack in her purse. She remembered a line from an old Kenny Rogers song that said, "You never count your money while you're sittin at the table," so she never counted during her time on the ship.
She didn't know it but the people watching the gambling with cameras in the ceiling were counting and they knew that for the day she was ahead $51,500, for the month she was down $45,600. It was important for their business to know.
As it started to get dark outside Nita's alarm watch sounded and vibrated. She knew that if she cashed out now she could be on the six-thirty boat back and she would be home by eight. She also knew that her purse was empty. During the long afternoon she had lost the money she had been ahead and most of the $9,000 she started with.
Carlos sat down next to her.
"Mrs. Hamilton, may I have a word with you?"
"If I am going to be on the six-thirty boat back to the city I really don't have time." She said as she started to stand.
"Then may I walk with you?"
"Certainly."
As they walked Carlos asked her if she had ever wondered about the casino portions of the boat where she had never been.
"No. I know about poker and slots and so I spend my time there."
He invited her to look him up the next time she came to the Luck Lady and he would show her something he believed she would really find exciting and that he guaranteed would have her going home with more money than she came with. He also told her that anytime she would like she could stay in the suite where she had enjoyed lunch overnight.
She thanked him and boarded the boat for shore.
As the boat pulled away Carlos smiled. He knew she would be back.
When Nita arrived home the light on the answering machine was blinking. She touched the button and her husband's voice could be heard.
"Nita, I won't be home tonight. I have an early meeting in the morning and then a flight to Washington D.C. So I won't be home tomorrow night either. Take care and I'll call you when I get back."
She hit the reset button and went upstairs. When she got to the bedroom she noticed that only her side of the bed was mussed. She hadn't had Roger in her bed in a long time.
"It's a good thing I get off gambling or I'd never get off." She said out loud.
She stripped off her clothes and showered. She had stopped washing her panties months ago. She threw them away. Even with panty liners she soaked them whenever she gambled and her husband could afford for her to just throw the panties away when she took them off. So she tossed the panties in the trash and the rest of her clothes went into the hamper.
In the shower she rubbed her slit and brought herself to a climax without putting a finger inside. Every time she showered after being on the Lucky Lady she finished the evening with an orgasm in the shower. Sometimes she felt like a robot having a mechanical orgasm. It wasn't exciting, it just relaxed her.
Ten minutes later she was in bed.
Nita volunteered with two different charities as a good doctor's wife should do and the day after her trip to the Lucky Lady she worked with other good wives preparing for a charity auction and dinner. As she worked she wondered what other gambling Carlos had been talking about. She turned down three invitations for the next day so that she could go out to the Lucky Lady and find out.

"Welcome aboard Mrs. Hamilton." Carlos said.
