Yesterday was my 18th birthday. My parents took me to a casino to celebrate. For most of the night I played Pai Gow Poker and a little bit of Let It Ride. What are your favourite games to play at casinos?

18!? Where are you gambling at? Everywhere I go to gamble, you have to be 21.

I stick with the quarter slots and video poker. I'm hoping to do a little blackjack and roulette when I have a little more money on me.

Legally a person can gamble at 18. The reason it is usually 21 is because they serve alcohol. The casino I went to was on an Indian reservation where alcohol is banned.

I don't gamble (I'd be completely addicted if I did, so best not to start), but I enjoy Poker. I think people with AS actually have something of an advantage at poker, and it wouldn't surprise me to hear of any famous poker players with AS.

I probably should learn poker and then try learning to count cards, maybe I could occasionally make a little change off of my drunk redneck neighbors. :twisted:
