Craps is honestly too intimidating for me. I don't even like playing at the poker tables despite being decent at it, there's too many unspoken rules and surly alcoholics.

axleblaze posted:I've only been to a Casino once to go see NIN (Mohegan Sun) and I found the whole thing just pretty depressing. I think the thing that really got to me is while I was wandering around I saw a sign pointing to an Arcade, and I went there and literally all the games in the arcade were ticket games of some kind. And not even the ones that have skill involved. It was all just various prize machines and games of chance. Like it was pretty much an area designed so you could drop your kid's off and they could also gamble to the extent that they were legally allowed to. They weren't willing to have a machine in their Casino that wasn't all about getting it to pay out. not that casinos aren't depressing because they absolutely are but the arcade in this one was legit. tekken 5, wcw wrestling, some really cool looking Alien shooter game, etc. i saw more than one person carrying newborn babies theough the casino.

My friends are a bunch of liver lilies who get sanctimonious about gambling and stand around drinking free drinks, watching me make money, and clucking their tongues.

I've only been to a casino once so far. I went on vacation right after my 18th birthday with my aunt/uncle/cousins to Aruba where the gambling/drinking age is 18, so my uncle took me to a casino. He gave me $100 and sat me down at the roulette table. I won $500 or so on my first spin, then lost it all in the span of like an hour. I wanted to play poker and blackjack but the buyins were like $30 a hand and gently caress that. There was also a literal millionaire at the table, he had about 20 stacks a foot high each of $500 chips. He was literally just putting down like $10,000 on every spin and hitting.

At least they're getting the free drinks man. I had a friend who would always go with us to Vegas and never gambled but he stocked up on drinks. It's a good strategy. Of course one time I got a White Russian made with non dairy creamer at the golden spike so ymmv on that

I am very bad at blackjack. If you're not good at it, you can lose so much money, so fast. Craps are the devil but drat if some of the more modern ones aren't practically video games. I played this one where you had to collect implements for killing Dracula and ascend his tower and poo poo.

I have a friend who wants me to come to a casino with him some time, but I don't trust myself around gambling things because I have such poor impulse control. He gambles a way to have fun, but I don't see that happening with me because I'll worry too much about the money I'll be losing. I have no problems with other people gambling, but gently caress if I'm going to do it.

Seriously though, as far as craps go, it looks super complicated but betting pass line and odds is the simplest thing you can do, and it has the best odds of anything in a casino, unless you're some genius card sharp. Throwing the dice is cool and fun, and everyone generally wins and loses together so it's a fun social game. An old Asian dude will give you a bunch of money to keep you at the table when you're on a hot streak, it's nice.

There's prob people that actually like you telling you this but you should seriously consider something productive like going to/back to therapy or at least anger management. You will prob ignore this and tell me to put some balls in my mouth or whatever you do though so Godspeed dickeye

Casinos are fun if you go in with a modest amount of money and expect to lose it. It's like drinking: cool when it's a social activity, not very cool when you're sweating over it.axleblaze posted:Since Polanski has been brought up I am contractually obligated to remind people that have not watched Venus in Fur to watch Venus in Fur.

The Sopranos is loving gorgeous in 720p. edit Also every time I watch the pilot, I think about what the show would've been like if it had stayed that really dark comedy told as flashbacks. BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Mar 18, 2015 |

I think when that aired laser disc was ready dead and dvds were a thing, so even at the time I think that line was meant to be taken in the same way you're taking it now.

Casinos are hideous places. That said, the first time I went to one I hit the number four times in a row as soon as I started playing roulette. I enjoy poker with friends but haven't had a decent game for ages though.
