What's your game of choice at a casino?
I'm a blackjack fanatic when I go.
Mentally I feel like I'm throwing my money away at the slots,
but I have no problem playing fifty dollar hands at blackjack.
I just love that thrill.

Chatting up the big money players *giggles*
Seriously i prefer to watch - not really into gambling.

Yeah...flirting with the other players is part of the appeal.

Never been to a 'casino' as such. I quite like the peny pushing machines at the amusements though. Those i can just about afford to play, even though they're like 2p a go now!

Not a gambler. Long long ago and far away (i.e. about 1975 in Tokyo) i decided i would only bet on 2 things, and I would only bet $1.
The first (Muhammed Ali will win) is no longer an option, and the 2nd (the Montreal Canadians will make it to the playoffs) I have a standing bet with a buddy of mine...I pay him more often lately than he pays me.

The only gambling I do is buying a lottery every now and then.

I forgot about the occaisional Lotto ticket. I don't really consider that gambling, its more like a dream tax...day dream about being wealthy long enough and you will wind up having to pay the tax on those dreams (i.e. buying a ticket out of the blue, because you tell yourself "Somebody has to win, why not me...you never know.....")

Nothing like getting dealt two aces, splitting them and pulling two 21's.
And winning 150 just on that one hand.

Mmmm, blackjack for sure

When I need a break, I play video poker. That's my second favorite. Never could get into regular slots, though have had a few friends win big on them.

I don't gamble unless I'm sure the odds are in my favor.

But for me, "gambling" isn't the same thing as "playing games of chance for money": if the stakes are small enough that you can enjoy the game and don't fear losing, it's not really gambling. It's only gambling if you can get hurt by it.

That's just technical details.

I am not much of a gambler...but here in the beautiful state of OR there is gambling in every store. I find it funny since the one time i did go to a casino, i came in with $3 and left with $6. my friends were thinking they should have kept me there. Oh and there was this that when i get drunk i flirt with at the bar, he takes me to the slots and he ends up winning everytime too. LOL

When I'm playing for money, it's either Texas Hold 'Em or H/L Omaha with an occasional HORSE thrown in for fun. :D

I love blackjack. I play poker with my brother occasionally, but only for chocolate

I like to gamble but don't do it except on occaision. Hate to say it but I like a game of skill....roulette...LMAO! Nice brainless game....slow...lousey odds....blind luck,etc. but I luv the laid back....don't have to think...slow pace of the "game"....lol

21 makes me have to work (think/count) and moves abit too fast for me to enjoy....jmo

I don't gamble for the whistles and bells,casino atmosphere etc. I usually have set amount and bet bigger bets.......a do or die thing. People don't usually care to go with me because I'm usually in and out of a casino in 30min or less....with or without some dough. If I win a few hundred I leave. If I loose set amount....I leave.

I'm about due for a trip.......
