    My fond gambling memories are also with my sister as we'd go to the Maryland firehouse to play questionably legal blackjack (supposedly being donated to the fire station) and getting free sodas and Filipino food, and taking the day bus to Atlantic City with a free roll of quarters that we'd plunk down at the first video poker bar to get a free drink, then cashout immediately to game the system.

    I told this story to my new coworkers as a way of introduction, and I think they now see me as a degenerate gambler.

    I love seeing dogs in Vegas. Someone should create a coffee table book of The Dogs of Vegas.

    okay, back from the Orleans. Played for a while, got some great hands but still lost there. I really like their pool but from what I’ve read on this board, I don’t hold out much hope in getting offers. We’ll see

    From the pics I took last trip, it looks like it only matters on the 5 card royal. So not much of a penalty. I played it at Gold Coast last trip for 90 pennies (max bet there). Still a 9/6 DDB five card paytable though (~99%)!

    Well if you only ate the onion chips, I wouldn't expect you to die! Their onion rings/chips are good, but they won't test your body like the burgers will! Haha

    Congrats on the Royals! Get a quarter one to match your brother!
     
    Holy Hotel! These new ones. Plus ParkMGM before, MGM/Cosmo after!

    Yeah! Hard to find! This one is at the Orleans, fyi, right near keno and behind the 3 alligators. I actually got a number of bonuses.
