My wife Debbie had a great thought last night. Why don't we spend our next vacation in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina? I gave her two thumbs up.

My next question was, specifically, what part of the Blue Ridge Parkway area? I was guessing that her answer was going to be either the Boone or Bryson City/Cherokee area. I was right. Bryson City here we come for great food, train rides and cooling our heels in those cool mountain streams.

In Cherokee, we always try to sample a new restaurant and of course, we find ourselves on the penny machines at Harrah's Cherokee Casino. Now, here's where I need your help.

If I really wanted to win "really" good money, which casino game or games should I play? Also, which games should Debbie and I avoid?

Debbie and I hardly ever play the lottery or visit a casino. But, if we were to win big, we both have a great way of getting rid of the money. The church debt would be paid off and a number of my favorite non-profits would get a much-needed financial boost.

So, thank you very much for your help. Below are a few casinos that we have visited. Feel free to add your favorites to the list.
