Roadtripping with Rumple: Blog/Tweet-style

I will sit back down at your table now. What are you drinking?

 

humidity on the rocks.

 

At baccarat table, don't try to hit on the slut sitting there smoking and drinking perrier out of a champagne flute. She is a shill who works for the casino and doesn't give a damn about you.

 

@SportsJournalists.com: Just found out Blackjack tables are $15. Guess I'm sticking to penny slots, roulette or baccarat.

 

baccarat is going to be even more expensive

 

@SportsJournalists.com: Tried my luck at Roulette and broke even (got the $15 back I put in after a few spins). Now to try the penny slots.

 

My favorite game is to just bet red or black over and over again and see how far I can go, starting with the minimum bet.

The best streak I ever had was going from $1 to $6.

 

Zebra: Having never played the game, is that a 50-50 chance or are there other possibilities besides red or black?

 

@SportsJournalists.com: Well, I'm back in the hotel room after an exciting night of gambling. I lost $10 overall, but learned a lot about the games. Saw a guy win $1,500 in Roulette (hit 38-to-1 odds on No. 32) and a guy roll six consecutive outs in craps (poor guy).

That being said: Anyone want to open a casino?

 

You don't deserve ears.

 

@SportsJournalists.com: Line of the night -- I was talking with the local radio guy as we walked into the casino for the first time and I asked him, "So, where are the Russian Roulette tables?" I quickly noticed my mistake and he told me, "Well, I think they stopped doing those. They got a little messy."

 

Maybe I missed something, but you drove for 6 hours to play penny slots?? Doesn't seem like it's worth the effort.
