    When buying something from a retail or grocery store and if you're paying cash, you place the money on the counter and not directly into the cashier's hands. And to further make you a degen, you now wait for the cashier's boss to verify the cash count.

    If your favorite beer is served by Heidi....you might be a degen.

    If it’s Friday and the last thing you remember was waking up at 7am Tuesday....you might be a degen.

    If the casino places a reserved sign at your favorite machine....you might be a degen.

    If, when getting up from a table, if you clap your hands & show both sides of them to a non-existent camera above...
    If you reply with the phrase "Seven out" anytime somebody uses the cliche "It's a crap-shoot"...
    If you hand your bartender your credit-card and ask her, "Color me out"....
    If THIS is your favorite scene in the movie "Casablanca":

    ...you just might be a degen!

    if you ask your bank teller for a marker
    if you're replying to this post while on a work zoom meeting
    if your family thinks you have another family in Vegas (true story last Christmas)

    One of your travel partners stands in line to check in, one hits vp and you go for bj. 20 min later vp buddy comes y to see how you're doing. You say up 4k. He says great and it shouldn't be long for the room. 15 min later vp comes back to say room is ready and asks how you're doing. He says down $1500. Vp says he's still up $2500. He says no, he lost the 4k and then another $1500! At that time he was making less than 50k a year. I think he qualifies.

    Who isn’t watching SlotLady?

    She’s hot! But, I must admit with Covid and her mask... less so... and less personal commentary... a LOT less!

    If you clap your hands and show both sides to your dog after leaving the dinner table... You might be a degen.

    And you have a spoiled dog

    If you can listen to a Vegas podcast and you can recognize the slot machine in the background. Bonus points if you know which casino they are in. You just might be a degen.

    If you remember Video Poker return rates to 2 decimal places, but forget your kids ages.
    If you have ever looked up Jai Alai or Ping Pong betting lines.
    If you ever booked simultaneous comped hotel rooms for Downtown and The Strip, and didn't use either of them. (woke up in a food court)

    A true degenerate knows that they are just borrowing the money when they win and doesn’t spend it until they return.

    If you decide in advance of your trip the minimum chip level you'd pull out of a urinal.

    If you learn that one of your long time role models just passed away from a long bout of cancer, got bummed out, went to the local casino, played VP and had too many adult beverages all on Saturday morning, I may be a degen!

    You get a pass on that one, my friend. To paraphrase Hamlet, we shall not look upon her like again.

    Now back to the fun part:
    If most of your facebook posts are photos of video poker wins, you might be a degenerate gambler.
    If you know the door in three or more casinos where the servers come in and out with drinks, and deliberately sit nearby, you might be a degenerate gambler.
    If you get into a fistfight over which Bellagio fountain song is the best, you might be a degenerate gambler.
    If you have a morbid fear of the number 16, you might be a degenerate gambler.
    If you know exactly how many more tier points you need to reach Seven Stars, you might be a degenerate gambler.
    Also, if you already are Seven Stars.

    I would go with the number 7, but that’s just my opinion.
