All,

  Yes, I finally got something "right" in roulette for a change.  Literally "predicting the future" as it were.

  Had a chance to drop into the local Indian casino in the middle of the state and the automated roulette machine is GONE.

  The first time I saw it, I commented to the manager on duty that they needed to change the minimums on that table or it would be gone in 6 months.  They asked why and I told them that old, retired folks who show up on the bus to play bingo will NOT play roulette with a $5 minimum on EC's and a $1 minimum inside.

  We discussed it for awhile but they were pretty sure they understood their customers.

   The machine is now gone and replaced with two banks of slot machines.

   I called it but missed by a few months on the timing.

   Oh well, I don't normally go to that one and they don't have baccarat so it's back to the southern casino from my house again.

yeah the minimums on automated in casinos really puzzle me?  same for some online stuff, bet pheonix online is 10 dollars outside  why not a dollar to start--I would practice on them more and other people would use them more---florida doesn't have any live roulette I don't think?

Aren't you the guy who runs around with his mates getting excited by shooting bullets at cardboard cutouts?

MBB,

  Yep, that would be me!

Distance & firing time, please?

MBB,

  Hmm, the first reply got nuked somewhere and is gone so let me try this again.

  That distance was 12 yards but no time on it as it was the first 10 rounds out of a new gun to get a baseline to work with.  Evidently it was just fine right out of the box!

   With that said, here's a short video that does have an "interesting" final time.

   Try not to laugh at the fumbled seconds magazine exchange.

   And to attempt to keep this on a roulette topic, I am armed while in the casinos.  It is a long walk to my motorcycle when I walk out the door in a dark parking garage.

Well that's an very good point you made there A.Dulay.


Criminals do to spend time around casinos awaiting their victims which they have been watching winning money if they would be that lucky.

Carlitos,

  In a reasonably crowded casino, take a good look around for "odd" characters when you go to cash out a big win.  Watch for people movement from the bar area if it is located near where you play when you go to cash in.

  Some interesting people show up from time to time.  It's not so bad in a casino that is sparsley populated when you play, but the crowds hide a lot of things.

  Keep your wits about you when making a good sized cash in.

Be extremely careful in the   parking garages of the casinos. Hide   the  money on your body but carry a "ghetto wallet " stuffed with single $ bills ..

Upon withdrawing  your winnings from the  cashier`s  cage ascertain that you are not being followed , proceed to the men`s  room   and hide  the money on your body while inside the  toilet stall.

Make  sure that you are not being followed    when  going to the elevator of the parking garage.

Best to use  valet parking.

Be on guard.

Well, in some attempt to get this back on track, my wife has SEEN at least two robberies at one of the more seedy bingo halls.

Think about it.  They play until deep into the night.  The jackpots are pretty good ($1000+ several times a night).  Most of the players are basically old ladies.

The winners are obvious and all payoffs are in CASH.

This has the basics for an easy score if you're a bad guy.

Luckily this is not the norm, but it does happen.

Can't say I've seen any robberies in the parking lots of the casinos, but I have taken the "long way around" to eventually get to my bike when something seems out of the ordinary.

I'll head to the casino tomorrow and see if I can find any bad guys to take a picture of!!

If I don't find anybody, I'll think it will be time to smother this thread and put it to sleep.

Skakus....nice to see you are a keen recycler

This all reminds me of the time Frank Sinatra saved my life.

I was making my way to the car after a night of gambling when four thugs set upon me in the car park. They were beating the living daylight out of me, and just when I thought I was a goner, old Blue Eyes comes along and says, "Ok, that's enough fella's".

...saved my life, he did. [smiley]aes/cigarette.png[/smiley]

MBB,

  Good one.  I am so stealing that.
