Hitting the casino

[Ryan B.]

So my wife and I are heading out of town in a couple weeks to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary and will be hitting up a casino on our get-away. I usually stick to blackjack, roulette and slots. Never won a ton, but never lost a ton either.

Does anyone have any other table games to suggest? How about some good stories: won a bunch, lost a bunch, anything funny to help get me in the gambling mood?

Last time I was there on a bachelor party my buddy tossed a buck in a slot machine as we were heading out the door and won $1,000. It was put to good use later on in the night :)

The hardways on a craps table have terrible vig. 9% on 6 & 8, 11% on 4 & 10, assume you leave the bet up until its resolved. Fun bets for the big payoffs, but a bad edge. Bet pass and come (with odds) or place the 6 & 8.
