I think I'm a driving instructor, so I'm playing worse odds than you are.

I have an aunt who is a gambler and actually won the lottery. She is broke now, but my story is that I went with her to a casino, she gave me a 100$ chip and I played slot machines until my eyes were going unfocused. They are not fun. I wish there was an arcade where I could bet on whether I would win on street fighter than that boring poo poo.

I'm going to Vegas in six months or so, and it'll be the first time I've actually spent any real time in a casino. Will probably play poker and craps mostly, slots seem like pretty much the statistically worst thing you could play as far as having any chance of making money or having fun; my girlfriend says she plays slots because she likes to pull the lever, and I just don't know what to say to that. There's just something so sad about the concept of penny slots.

it is a fool who stays alive - but such fools are we.
On day 5 of a week long vacation in Tahoe and can confirm slots are little more than a vehicle for free drinks. Also where the heck did all the $5 blackjack tables go man, even midweek the minimum is 10 and they're always packed.

Pull the lever? What is this the 30s? You don't do that anymore you just push max bet button then the spin button. Also slots are whack as heck play craps or blackjack

playing slot machines is much less offensive than frat boys who buy cigars and get dressed up in suits to go to the casino to play blackjack.

You know what's great about casinos? How they give you all those free drinks while you're playing. You should go play a few hands and have a drink

I think it was the Biltmore, on the CA/NV border on the northeast end of the lake that used to have the cheapest tables, mid-week at least. And years ago they used to have a couple tables that would play two deck shoes.

Place was a bit of a dive, and its been a while since I was there, but it was definitely a good "budget" place to play blackjack. Pretty generous with their drinks and meal comps if you tip well.

Gambling is fun every now and again. Video poker w/ shots is my preferred sitting on my rear end suckin up booze game. Roulette is for makin money, blackjack is for fun. They all have their place in the amazing world of pissing away money.

no

if you mean the known universe somewhere around 10^80 is my guess, or maybe one.

edit: apparently there are 15747724136275002577605653961181555468044717914527116709366231425076185631031296 protons so i was pretty loving close.
