Casino Game of Choice?

Reign in Acai · July 2nd, 2009, 12:58 PM

Going to the Indian casino later on today to play some Pai Gow (the game of push), who here fancies a game of chance from time to time?

einride · July 2nd, 2009, 01:44 PM

not a gambling man so i picked the one with the funniest name

Pai Gow is pretty neat. It's the game you want to play if you wish to stretch out a small amount of money for a good length of time. 7 cards, two poker hands, a big hand (5 cards), weak hand (2 cards), played against the dealer's two hands. You have to win both hands to take the dinards. 70% of the time the hands turn out be a wash.

You can easily lose hundreds in minutes playing blackjack. If by chance you are getting ahead, the casinos quickly switch dealers on you, typically from a happy-go-lucky whitey to a stone cold Asian. I've learned my lesson.

sit at the last spot and count the paint and aces

Laugh at the gambling addicts is a fun game of chance... theres always a chance you'll get spotted and shanked for quarters.

true, but I find the games boring

Reign in Acai · July 3rd, 2009, 06:25 AM

Just pissed away $600 over the course of 6 hours on Pai Gow. Fucking complete idiocy. I can name a hundred things more worthwhile to piss my dough on. Black strippers, Burzum 1st presses, a flight to Born to Late II, clothes, alcohol, fixing the suspension on my shitter, new laptop, etcetera X 93. The game itself isn't even fun, every hand is just stressful as fuck, crossing my joints in hopes that I can atleast receive a push. To top it all off, the casino's venue had NE-YO in concert, and was jammed packed with corn rowed Reggies. Lesson learned!

Thats why I mean... for $600 I can get a whole lot more enjoyment... especially in summer where every weekend has 2 or 3 festivals to offer.

Reign in Acai · July 3rd, 2009, 06:51 AM

Never again Andrew, never again. The house ALWAYS wins. I was up a $150 as soon as I came in the door. But like most people, I wasn't satisfied and didn't know when to quit.

"send me your money and maybe you'll get it or something even cooler back... at some point... some day"

lolerama. If you get to $600 before quitting, chances are you'll never learn that lesson.

Your "personal income" thread flashed through my head on the drive home. After attempting to sleep off the horror, I sit here today feeling like a complete tit.

einride · July 3rd, 2009, 01:10 PM

it's just as well i don't make any money because if i did i would buy shit

Disgustipated · July 3rd, 2009, 07:38 PM

I just bet on dogs.

Video Poker for me. The last 5 times I went to Atlantic City I came back either even or ahead. The most I've won is $700.

Demilich · July 3rd, 2009, 08:59 PM

I don't mind a poker game once in a while with friends, but fuck casinos. They're fucking ugly and depressing
