    There's several videos on YouTube detailing how messed up the odds are now on the slot machines.

    They were never great. But now they're just F/U.

    The few places where they have traditional single zero roulette or the extremely rare single deck blackjack, the table minimums are REALLY steep.

    $300 a spin or $300 a hand.

    Fortunately The OM only likes to play poker or roll them bones.

    And to roll them bones, that's an entire weekend event, cause the juju has to be correct.

    It's called gambling for a reason. I lived in Reno fer a time. There's a time & place to play the odds.

    The degenerate gambling brother and sister in law addiction is the video poker machines.

    Worst odds of any game in Vegas. They're not a slot machine, so they're not subject to any parameters.

    Fortunately those two have always been smarter than everyone else.

    There was a truckstop I used to go to in Louisiana....I think it was Jack's or something like that. The only reason I went there was because they had lots of parking and it was just off the interstate.....plus they had a bar.
    So, I go into the bar, sit down and order up. Bartender says, "so, you gonna gamble?"
    I said, "dude, I've got enough bad habits already."

    The old days, when men had talent and shop foremen learned it and assigned blocks of work to them then left them alone.
    There were guys to pull transmissions and do clutches, but another one to open the case and fix the gears.

    Not making an excuse for someone being a degenerate gambler but Video Poker is the single most additive form of gaming there is. Regular Poker is truly skill based and with shooting Craps as long as you play behind the pass line for your odds the house has it smallest edge (if you employ money management) you can take the house edge to .001. So, for less than a hundred bucks you can play all night long before you give it all to the Casino but it's a lot of fun shotting dice on a hot table with a loud fun group of people. You still lose but you have a good time and free drinks for about 12 hours.
