And because this is still a gambling forum, here's a shot from inside the casino at the Cadillac Jack's Hotel in Deadwood, SD.

No baccarat here so I had to default to roulette for the night.

Well, let's try this again.

What else do you guys do besides hang out here and hit the casinos from time to time.

Saw this gem making the run south out of Minneapolis on I-35.

Of course I had to stop and get the "photo op".  That's what I do!

This speed makes nano suitable for commercial payments, since merchants and retailers no longer need to worry about transaction delays when accepting payments.

You know, my AMEX card receipt hits my phone before the lady behind the counter can even hand me my receipt for a coffee.

Is processing time really a problem?

QuoteNow, as the short-term bull trap grows, mainstream media is back at it, predicting $500,000, in an effort to lure in greedy retail investors for exit liquidity. The crash that follows is inevitable. Unfortunately too many investors are blinded by greed to secure profits. They will just repeat their same mistakes as last time.

Bingo.  Nailed it.

Twilight Zone playing in the dark of the night.

Excellent.

Been there, done that.  A good feeling for sure.

I shall endeavor to fill up at pump #9 at the Wawa for the bike tonight.

Seriously, take the jetboats out of Hong Kong to Macau and back.   They are excellent.  Like flying 1st Class on the airlines except you're not treated like cattle.

AD (assuming they still have those boats)

Hmmm, a new member jumps in on a 3 year old thread.

What could possibly be wrong?

When I was still working, one of my long layovers was Hong Kong.

Pay the approximately $35 round trip fare on the super fast jet boat and you could day trip Macau with no problems at all.

And I did, a LOT.   I had a pretty good routine and once I figured out the hotel van schedules it was basically a free trip each way.  No need for the taxis.

Incredible amount of baccarat tables and at the time, one of the few places you could play on a fully computerized and exquisitely designed mechanical card handler.  It was right out of Star Wars.

The Venetian was just opening by the time my trips to Hong Kong were over and I did get to play in it a few times.   Needless to say, the women were simply stunning at every point where they came into contact with the customers.

It made the military style personnel at the Lisboa look positively medieval.

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

I was talking about the EZ Baccarat tables where a winning 3-card 7 on Banker is a push.

I got caught on that twice over time and it put the damper on playing the EZ Bac tables.

I just noticed something today that I didn't realize I liked about my particular online venue.

Their baccarat game does not offer any of the "side hustle" wagers.

Not Silly Six, Sloppy Seven, Triple Duece, Bad Beat Bunker or anything else.

Just straight baccarat.

I like that.  Makes my game much easier to work with.

But then I prefer it that way.

Old school I guess. 

AD (just my opinion)

We do have several women that shoot with us from time to time.

If you saw them on the street you wouldn't think twice about it but they are very good and really enjoy mixing it up with everyone.

AD

Bally,

  Yes, roulette was my first true gambling play when I was first going to Las Vegas and the Bahamian casinos.  I still enjoy it to this day as well as baccarat, of course.

  It is nice to have a change of pace in the casino environment, especially if the tables are all loaded up with obnoxious players and you can get out for awhile at roulette when it's open.

  AD

And if pistols are more your thing, here's the previous week.

We do have a good time.

AD (old men don't run fast, they shoot first)

WEll, I was kind of bored today as I got up way too early and after reading through a few threads decided to start this one.

Things we do other than the casino.

Here's my Monday nights.

QuoteMy main reservation is that online cas are not required to win or lose against two or more players. In other words, its my understanding they could play against you and I at same time with two separate RNGs.

What is your opinion?

Thx in advance.

When I first starting playing online for small test amounts I did a pretty good amount of checking to see if multiple players were on the same server at the same time.

As a test of my current casino, I had my brother on a Facetime call (in real time) while we both played on the small limit baccarat table.  We also tested blackjack and a live roulette wheel.

We had separate accounts and were playing from Ohio and Florida at the same time.

The baccarat game was the same for both of us.  The dealer, background and cards were identical and the timing was on.  We safely concluded that we were in fact, playing in the same game at the same time.

Roulette was also tested and found to be pretty safe although we rarely play it and only tested it to confirm our original expectations.

And to confirm, these were not RNG games.  These are live dealer games.  I would never play an  RNG game online under any circumstances.
