    I'd buy that guy a bottle of whatever he was drinking if I saw that. Lol

    I'd take the 100x but unless I'm up big the max would be too much lol - but I'm fine with taking $500 shots. Hell in Louisana they have 20x and I'll put $400-500 behind at times. And they don't even bat an eye at it.

    We need someone sitting at the bar snapping pics of the pit bosses as we hit points.

    in Shreveport they have 100X odds with $10k and up to $25k max on request.

    Good idea to have someone at the bar take pics.

    There is only one craps table at Casino Royale the last time I was there but that was like a year ago.

    About 10 years ago, a group of friends and I were walking down the strip and we decided to pop into the Tropicana because someone had to take a piss. We saw a $5 BJ table and sat down. I bought in for $500 (I had mostly chips) and everyone else bought into a couple grand. For the next couple hours, we destroyed the table. They ran out of green and black chips (mostly) about 1 hour in. The pit boss was watching us like a hawk and kept on getting on the phone. Other suits came by as well. They were very slow replenishing the chips and they replaced the cards after one great shoe. One of the dealers, who we tipped very well, said that they had replaced the cards just before we arrived. They also changed dealers frequently.

    If memory serves me correctly, the 5 of us collectively walked away with a 30k profit. I was the law man on the totem pole with about 4-5k in winnings. I dropped all my winnings later that night.

    oh yeah that also reminds me of one night at Cromwell.

    I got crushed at Bacc, so I decided to play BJ with my last 15k. it was double deck pitch.

    I didn't lose a hand the first shoe and pressed up to their max which is 3 hands at 5k.

    for the next hour I crushed them and they kept changing dealers like every 5 minutes.

    I didn't really notice at first because it was late and I was killing them, so who cares. at one point I had 250k in front of me.

    but then they finally got one dealer in there and things started to shift and I was losing.

    what do you know, she stuck around pulling 20s and 21s until she took my last dollar an hour later.

    suffice it to say, I'm never going back to Cromwell.

    they're shady, sweating motherfuckers.

    That place is still a cesspool after the remodel. I have ran into more crackheads or heroin addicts there looking for a handout than any other property on the strip. I would rather gamble at Casino Royale.

    Great story. I would never have the balls to do something like that even if I've wanted to.

    Agree. Place gives me bad vibes. I won't hit the tables there at all.

    I know Casino Royale is a dump but there's something about the place that calls to my true Degenerate self! Lol actually last time I was there I won $1000 on a penny slot, the fish one! I was drunk and thought it was a good idea. Then I went and played single deck blackjack with a buy in at $200 and walked away with $10,000 from the table... I know the odds are bad but it worked! I also remember being watched like a hawk Lol I only left because I had a flight in 90 mins. Actually maybe I'll go back this trip and see if I can get a reaction :)
