I'm staying at the hotel of a casino and all of their poker rooms were closed. They've been closed since the pandemic and never reopened. Poker is the only thing I play at casinos so I need some suggestions.

Slots are pointless and I have no interest in those. I once tried black jack years ago; never again. It doesn't seem statistically possible that the dealer could win that often and seems rigged somehow.

I like poker because it pits you against other people and involves strategy. It's not like roulette where everything is entirely chance. Do those are the games I tend to prefer.

Anyone else here gamble at casinos?

Black Jack

Never lose. Mostly break even. Rarely fun. Rarely visit.

My games are 21, craps and roulette.

In that order.

If only American casinos had baccarat.

I gamble, once in a while, but only in “the markets”.

The casino makes money. Do the maths.


I sometimes go with a pal who is a big gambler.
We each throw some money into the pot and I get pisshed and watch as he loses it all.
But its a fun night.

That's what it is.

Only take money you can comfortably lose.

Yes!

Actually, not in that order.

I play 21 to increase my bank. I take the winnings over to the Roulette table and play the even bets (with occasional 2-to-1 and 3-to-1 bets) for fun and to drink and enjoy the time with friends, then hit the craps table to get loud and blow the rest.

Then wake up the next morning, eat a huge breakfast and drive home. It's a good time about twice a year. I usually go with one girlfriend so we can watch out for each other.

I only had to unleash the whoopass once when some guys didn't wanna take no for an answer. 😀
