Ok just curious to this answer from the cca members who gamble.

If you gamble and have been to a casino, whats your favorite game/game of choice?

What game tends to bring you in the most money/luck?

A lot of people stand by slot machines, a lot of people stick to poker, blackjack, let it ride, texas hold 'em etc.

Well today I tested my luck with Roulette and I did pretty frickin good lol Anyone else favor Roulette [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]


No replies with the online FAKE money games either please. I'm talking real money on this one.

generally only play blackjack at the casino. Play let it ride here n there, but the odd's kinda suck on it. Then again black jack is supposed to be the worst in the casino heh. I'd like to play texas hold em, but just never have at the ca ching bling kinda nervous about that. We always have our own poker nights though, so that takes care of that and lately i play no limits texas hold em online for about 3 hours a day....so that takes care of that need (not for real money though).

I'm thinkin i should take up carribean poker, my uncle has won about 400,000 in his last two trips to the casino playing it, royal flush and a straight flush. Rediculous.

But thats my story.

Only been to the casino twice since I turned 19 in January and all I've played there is poker. $5/10 limit Texas Hold'em. Id like to play Black Jack once i learn the game a little better, since it is the only game in the casino where you can have an edge. Everything else seems too hard to win money when the house has such a big edge over the players.

Also play a lot of online poker at many different sites.

I'm not a big gambler but I have been to Las Vegas so I had to do some while there.

Roulette is my choice also. I get too bored with cards. For the week that I was in Vegas I left the table down only $80. Not bad for a weeks worth of gambling and a good deal of money going back and forth.

yeah I walked up to the first roulette table cashed in $20 and played the outside odd - even red - black for a bit. I lost about $15 walked away with $5 cause I didnt like the table host and the peoople playing at the table because they kept shovin their dirty arms over my face and such and smoking and arguing with the host.

So cashed out with my friend Amanda and went to table 5 which was empty with a much friendlier table host. I cashed in another $20 this time I played the outside still and 5 numbers inside. Luck has it my birthday #10 came up and I won $50 ($36 on the number, $10 on black) I put aside $20 of that and kept playing, next couple times I put aside $5 twice so that I had $30 on hold and still had $20 in my hand from winning on the outside. Eventually I walked away from the table with $36 and only lost $4 that day.

Before leaving I decided to try my luck at Blackjack, one hand $5, gone, cashed out with $31 went home lol.

I'm addicted to roulette now, I find myself reading strategies and such lol Going to Casino Niagra on Saturday, I was at the Blue Heron in Port Perry yesterday.

^ No such thing as a roulette "strategy" trust me

Blackjack seems to give the best odds if you know how to play. However the $5 tables are the worst because people don't know how to play, it gets frustrating at times.

If you want to learn a game you can consistantly win at, learn how to count cards and different types of blackjack strategies. It is the only game that the player can actually have the advantage.

card counting is hard!!! I'm sure it's likely cause i'm not really good at it (as of yet anyways). With some dealers, they deal slower and it's possible to process each card that comes out, but other dealers, deal faster than i can even add the cards up which is fairly rediculous!!!

I agree its quite hard, but if you want to make money at blackjack, i dont think its too unreasonable to get good at it.
