This upcoming Tuesday to Thursday, I will be going to Windover and won't have any internet access during that time.  So yeah, I'm not going to be around for a bit. -_-

Now, for those around here who don't know, Windover is a small city in Nevada.  It is famous for the one thing you probably won't find anywhere else in the world.  Penny Slots! :^.^:

Of course, like any casino, you need to be 21 to play the games there.  Also, like any casino out there, you can play at a variety of gambling related games.  Get this though, you only need $5 to participate.  Not to mention all the free sodas you want. :D

I'll be having fun at the Blackjack table.  Wish me luck, everyone. :^.^:

Oh, and I think I'll have a go at the rolluette table.  Just one time.  Just for kicks. B)

Well, I leave tomorrow at 9:30 am MST.  I'll be missing you guys here. :)

And action, I already have a number in mind to pick.  Let's hope I pick the right one. :^.^:

Goodluck  ;)
Don't risk more than you are willing to loose.

Don't worry, Malte.  Me and my family follow certian rules.  We only take so much with us, and once it's gone, it's gone.  Your fun is over after that, and if you lost it all early, you have to stay in the hotel room until it's time to go back home.  Other than that, just do it for fun.

Those are the rules, and it's wise to follow them. :)

Well, I'm back!  Did you guys miss me? :)

I had a great time gambling over at Windover.  Came out $235.12 richer! :D

Man was I good at Royal Blackjack this morning.  Played at a fast pace and the chips just came racking in.

This week was kind of lucky for me, they were actually having concerts over at the casinos. :) The music was great! :^.^:

The only thing I don't like about that area is that people smoke and drink in those casinos.  Yeah, it's heavy with the scent of smoke and alcohol.  Ugh! :x

Other than that, I had a great time!

Well, I'll see ya later! :^.^:

Yeah, same problem around here.  The provincial governmnent just recently passed a law that makes it illegal to smoke in any public places (including casinos).  It is already in effect for bars but it will apply to bingo halls and casinos in the beginning of 2008 I believe.  I think that's a fantastic idea, smoking should be something confined to outdoors and far away from populated areas.

Congratulations pokeplayer!
It goes to show that you recognized the right moment to stop taking the $235.12 home rather than loosing them in the attempt to make them 2351.20 :yes

Well, I was lucky to get several Royal Blackjacks and winning Royal Double Downs.  Those are the BIG money makers in that game and you can really get your money's worth when you get them. :D

Well that's good to hear.  Though I bet that the Indian Casinos there are rather reluctant to the idea as it is part of their culture. -_-

True! :yes I've known people to have a real gambling problem.  When they lose it all, they attempt to win it back and end up with debts that they can never recover from.  It's a sad thing, really. -_-

Hmm, maybe I should open a topic about this. <_<

Sweet payout! :D  I don't know if you hit any poker tables with that but you called some good bluffs or made up with some of your own. :p

Nope!  Just Royal Blackjack, Slots and one round at Rouletee, the last one I lost, so you can see just how lucky I truely was.

On the slots, I was able to get a few of the mini jackpots, which are only about $20.00 total.  The big money maker slot is called, "Hot Hot Penny".  With this one, if at least 2 of the 5 slots get a "Bonus" icon, you get a re-spin, and if you get at least 3 out 5, you get 12 extra spins + 3 random choices of extra spins.  It gives you a chance to get up to a total of 27 extra spins.  Imagine the sweet payout you can get with that. :^.^:

Royal Blackjack was my BIG money maker though.  You can really rack up the chips with that Royal Match Bet deal, even at the bare min of just $1.00. :)
