Mama June avoided Black Friday shoppers like the plague by hitting up a casino with her boyfriend … and there were still no signs of a family reunion after Thanksgiving.

The troubled reality star — who has apparently hit a rough patch ever since linking up with her man, Geno — was spotted Friday night at Harrah’s Cherokee Hotel and Casino in Cherokee, NC … drink in hand and looking disheveled.

It’s interesting … the last time we saw Mama June, she was in Georgia pulling out cash at a convenience store ATM shortly before Turkey Day. Now we know where at least some of that dough went … we’re told she was hitting Harrah’s slot machines pretty hard.

Mama’s family is still not back in the picture for the holiday season — but, if nothing else, she ain’t broke.

As you know … Mama and Geno have been living outta hotels since unloading her Hampton, GA home for $100,000 cash earlier this year. At one point, June was allegedly shacking up at an Alabama casino.

This is the fourth time we’ve seen Mama in a casino since her March arrest for crack cocaine … and the first time her gambling itch struck in Carolina.
