But I'm too scared because I've never done it before, and I always feel like I'm gonna fuck up. Well I guess I played like once before, with Psyz in Vegas but even then he told me how to do everything.

I am going to ghetto Vegas aka Wendover tonight with my friends on the Fun Bus (you pay 15 bucks, get 7 in cash back when you get there and a free buffet, yusss, and you play bingo and shit on the bus), and I want to play blackjack or Texas Hold Em. Now I know how to play these games, but not in a casino format.

Any tips? Cause I don't want to just play slot machines the whole time.

I'm guessing in a smaller casino like that they'd be happy to sorta coach you along. But if you're playing craps at all, remember...

play the come bet, only bet a hardway if it's the number up, and don't play more than 3 numbers at a time. Oh and always bet your odds on your pass line bet.

if you're playing poker...well shit you sorta have to learn. depends on the people you play with. I will always see the flop unless someone gets overtly aggressive on the opening bet (unless you're holding a pair of aces). After that if I don't have at least a strong pair or a flush draw, I'd hedge my bets, if the betting is staying low keep at it. If you still don't have a good hand after the second or third card get out.

I don't play poker except with friends because I can't keep a straight face. Everyone knows what I've got.

If you want to play blackjack, get one of those cheap little books that tells you when to hit and when to double down. The "rules" are pretty standard. The odds are still with the house but you will lose your money slower. When you get there, spend 15 minutes or so watching a full table and think to yourself what you would do if you were one of the players. You can get used to the pace and flow and get over some of your nerves. It's still scary when you first sit down but you get over it fast. If you don't like the people at your table, get up and move.

Yeah, don't you remember playing bingo? I don't know if we played or not, but the winner got like 2 bucks.

Yeah I have a feeling it won't be too hard. I probably won't play craps just cause I have no clue what's going on there....I'll stick to blackjack most likely.

while I'm thinking about it, where might I find the replacement board you made?

Play games where what you do has no bearing on what the other players at the table do.

Like Roulette, Let it Ride, Paigow Poker, Carribean Stud, shit like that.

Don't play games like blackjack or craps your first time out there.

Dandy, casino format, or casino rules, dictate that you sit at the table repeatedly asking the other players what they have. When they won't tell you then verbally abuse them. Every now and again slide over a little and try to sneak a peak at your neighbors hand.

You will be the Queen of the Ball, I guarantee.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Get really, really hammered before you do this shit. Casino format and all.


They absolutely love me in Vegas!

On second thought, the loaded gun may be a bit much, smoke one of those dollar store bubble pipes.

What a great bus! I wish it would stop here. Are you allowed to booze or do you need the brown paperbag? All we have is a stupid tram that has a bar and DJ in it. I took it once to get to some disco where I was supposed to meet some people, got out too late and had to walk for 45 minutes.
Anyway have you tried gambling now?

i likes me some texas hold 'em (http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c361/nastee/IMG_3304-2.jpg).
we were playing for £6 there and i would not give it up. no way was i going to admit defeat! hours and hours we went on for. good fun.

um, tips? i'm not so sure. be careful with your bluffing. my flatmates are massive bluffers. sarah, being an actress and an evil lesbian and hence inclined to fucking with your brain, is really good at it. you can see in the picture she is trying to melt bonney's brain. she is a liar. she tells sarah lies! be weary. be watchful! they will rid you of your £1 and spend it on lesbian sex toys and rolling tobacco!

know when to stop. ha! that's a good one.
