As I'm sure you all can remember, in the story My Little Dashie, the main character and Rainbow Dash finally move away from the city after ten years of living there together.
The original story states: "We moved from my parents' house, thanks to me finally saving up enough money, plus getting lucky at a casino." That last part always seemed off to me. When would he have time to go to a casino? You would think anytime he wasn't working, he'd be spending with Dashie, right?
In order to relieve the confusion, I've made a short story describing this event.
Also, thank you to Dreadnought for pre-reading this story.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! I just wish it got a little more attention :/
Well, I enjoyed it. Does fill a little gap in the story. I’m glad to know that “no good deed goes unpunished” definitely didn’t apply to Daddy. The odds of winning even a minor jackpot like that are about on par with winning a state lottery.
Only thing I’d note is that most slot machines take bills, not tokens and are electronic at this point, often with five or six reels instead of three and having various themes. If you’ve never been to a casino you can find videos of them on YouTube to make the experience authentic.
Sweet little story. I hadn’t read My Little Dashie in a long time. But this certainly reminded me of it, and in a good way. I’m sorry it’s been lacking for interest. Considered a self-promotion?

Thank you very much for commenting! And yeah, I know the odds of either of them winning in the story were practically zero. But we all know "Dad" won, and his boss winning was just from a line I thought would be cool. Also no, I've never been to a casino. Hadn't thought of watching a YouTube video of it, I just looked up how the machines worked. I was aware that most slot machines don't take tokens at this point, but it just seemed the easiest way to do it at the time.
As for the self-promotion, I have put it into a few folders in The Shameless Self Promotion Bureau, but I haven't considered making an actual thread for it. I kind of feel like that's almost cheating, in a way. As of now, this story has the same like:dislike ratio and comments as my previous story like this, My Little Dashie: 11th Birthday that I posted a couple of months back. The only thing that's lacking is the views. The lack of views could've been because of many things, timing, low relevancy to today, or maybe an unenticing description. Either way, I don't really have too big of a problem with it, as long as it pleases the reader and gets above 100 views in the next week or so.
But again, thank you for suggesting that, as well as for reading my story!

What info?
Nice story!

Thanks for all the info! It all sounds super helpful. But, to be honest, I haven’t written a story in nearly two years now. If I were to come back to it, I don’t think I’d be revisiting casinos but I’ll definitely keep all that info in mind just in case. Thank you again!

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense... What else could I call it, though? I'm open to suggestions...
Then again, I haven't had the problem for a long time. It might not be necessary at this point.
