Went out to a local casino tonight with $140 in my pocket. Walked out with $1280. Won most of it playing a dollar slot machine. Most I have ever won on a slot machine is $1800, but I prefer playing table games most of the time.
Curious if people of the planet have any interesting casino stories. [Reply]
turned 100 bux into a grand on craps once...but other tthan that my favorite thing to do is play vidya poker at the bar, try to break even or win a little, but sit there for a couple hours getting free booze
Rarely go to casinos so I'm probably on the losing side a few bucks. I did win $400 at the Woodlands Dog Track back in the day. I think those winnings put me on the positive side of my gambling there. [Reply]
For about a couple months (when poker was the shit) me and a friend went to the poker room at Harrahs for 8 weekends straight, won over a total of $4k...so roughly $500 a night for a couple months....it was pretty easy to be honest...don't know why I still don't do that actually.. [Reply]
We got him back with a whole floor of rooms to himself.
I'm sorry you missed your plane.
Glad to get to know you.
Oh, no. No gambling.
And once he was back, he played small.
He bet 1,000 a hand, instead of his usual 30,000 a hand.
...to the bank with a natural lead over a five.
But I knew the trick with whales like Ichikawa...
was that they can't bet small for long.
He didn't think of it as winning 10,000...
he thought of it as losing 90,000.
So, he upped his bets.
Until he dropped his winnings back and gave up a million of his own cash.
In the casino, the cardinal rule is to keep them playing...
and keep them coming back.
The longer they play, the more they lose.
In the end, we get it all. [Reply]
$585 in a blackjack session at the old Argosy casino. This was back when they were the only casino in town. When they had an actual boat that went out on the river for a 2 hour session. [Reply]
