Ladies’ night out means seat at poker table

The Detriot News reports:

It wasn't long ago that many women would socialize with other women by playing a game of bridge, enjoying a night out at a restaurant or taking in a movie.

Now "girls' night out" increasingly means piling into the car and driving to a nearby casino for a few hours of gambling.

And once inside, women aren't limiting themselves to slot machines and video poker.

While hard data isn't available, casino and Internet gaming experts say the number of women participating in games of chance and skill, such as poker and blackjack, is growing rapidly.

Times change.
