Next month. Turning Stone Resort Casino for a whole weekend. My uncle's wife's birthday is coming up and they invited me to come along with them. The only thing is that I've never been to a casino before and I heard (and seen movies) all about the tricks and scams that happen inside :patrice:.

I do wanna try to win at least half a mill tho:mjgrin: but I don't wanna bet too high and lose half my money either :damn: so I gotta train myself to master (well finesse) the blackjack game in my favor. I'm kinda a pro at craps :win: and I know a little something about poker...

Used to goto Atlantic city all the time, free rooms for a few years but anyway. Parsdon my rant but I love the casinos so I might go off in my own world.

Rules of Engagment

Whatever cash you walked in to gamble with, its not your money anymore, its the casino. You are there to have fun. Let it be fun.

Don't chase a high, learn to take profits and walk away. If you are up, pocket your money and only play and spend the casinos money.

Leave your debit/credit cards in the room safe if you feel you may not have discipline. Or have someone else trust worthy hold them . I've personally went back a few times and seen dudes empty out their whole bank account chasing a high

Craps table can be a jungle, if you only played C-Lo then the bets are going to be confusing. Do not touch the table until the dealer clears you. You will get yelled at or kicked off if you do it repeatedly. Read up on basic strategy and prop bets and odds when it comes to craps. My first time playing at a table it was a good table, dealers and players were holding my hand and teaching me how to understand the odds/payouts. I was confused as shyt between all the noise .

Blackjack is my favorite but I don't touch that bytch with a ten foot pole. I treat that table like its my ex girl. I get flashbacks everytime I see her and just walk the other way. I've won my most money and lost like 5 grand in 15 minutes at that table. If they switch and its an Asian dealer. Walk away :russ:. Be mindful of the table as a whole when you are playing, players can work together to win pots they shouldnt have if played together.

Find the Asian section of the casino, there is one in every part. Learn how to play baccarat. Again, learn how to play baccarat.

Drinks are free when playing , just tip the waitress a chip or two.

Don't waste your money on that big wheel with $1, 2, 5, 20, 100 on the board. Its fun but has prob the worse odds in the whole building. But its fun as fukk and is usually at the entrance of every casino for a reason.

There's going to be working girls sitting at the slot machines and bars, leave em alone.

They use unlimited decks in blackjack so there’s no way to count cards or finesse it.

If this is truly your first time you gonna be food at the poker table you gotta have some experience.

And talking about losing half your money :what: . Fool you better not bring more than $200-$300 for your first time.
