Craps. I like the social nature of the game and the math.
 
Strictly penny slots.
 
No-limit Texas Hold'em -- nothing more, nothing less!
 
Anyone play Spanish 21? Love that game but no casinos in Oregon have it.

3 card poker is a total carnival game but it can be fun too.

Yes but La Center is low on the side bet payouts and doesn't let you double double down.

Lucky Eagle and Muckleshoot allows you to double double double down.
 
For the most part I played NL 5-500 at Muckleshoot, but they let guys carry over from 6am, so if you show up after work you're only allowed a $500 buyin while guys have 4 grand sitting in front of them. I usually did pretty well, but having the stacks against you from the jump kinda sucked. They also had a single-deck BJ game there, but it only paid 6-5 on blackjacks. And their pai gow takes 5% commissions even if you play the bonus.

My wife really likes Pai Gow b/c she gets to look at a bunch of cards hoping for a bonus, she pushes a lot, the dealer can help her set her hand and she doesn't mess up anyone else's hand with whatever decision she makes. She hates blackjack, but likes watching when I play. Silver Dollar Renton and Silver Dollar SeaTac had pretty good customer service and decent players, and I'd play pai gow and ultimate texas hold-em if there wasn't a good poker game going. They don't take commission and have progressive wins for the bigs hands.

I'd like to do a class on craps, b/c right now all I ever play is the pass line and the bet behind. And it's usually only when there isn't a table open for what I want to play, so the craps table is generally pretty full as well. I've only done that in Vegas and Dover Downs.

As I've come to understand, other than, perhaps, certain card games, craps gives the player the best odds against the house. I'm with ya there. I would like to get some training on the game, as well.

BP were in Chinook Winds last Tuesday morning. Me thinks that would have been the perfect time to get some individualized attention from the craps dealer as there was only one other playing at the table. Not sure where other such training even exists.

Hmmm.....I wonder.....do any of the local community colleges provide any remote classes on the subject(s)?
 
Craps is pretty much the only casino game I play. Like Denny said, social aspect is awesome and its the only thing I win at with regularity. Never won dick on slots, even the Wheel of Fortune one.

I remember Chinook Winds having this community Monopoly slots game. HUGELY successful in terms of lots of winners and paying out relatively well.

I asked about it this past week when I was there. The associate kinda looked the other way and said, "Yeah, they took that one out of here a long time ago."

Heh, it's no wonder. :MARIS61:
 
blackjack and texas holdem

keno for a lark in the bar
 
sports book, but I never bet on my teams and generally stick to football.

I'm sure there are plenty of on line tutorials.

Oh silly me. Of course you were!

And who knows, maybe after drinks and a romp you may even get around to the craps.
 
I enjoy some of the lesser-known card games that don't involve a casino dealer in the actual game. Problem is everyone and their parents, kids, and pets knows Texas hold em these days, and there are plenty of people who are good at it. But in most casinos there are tables for other poker variants, and those are the ones I tend to gravitate towards. Omaha Hold Em is one of my favorites; people tend to think it's just like Texas Hold Em (and it is in some ways), but there is different strategy and strength-of hand variables to consider. A lot of the people who go play it are like "oh, that game looks interesting and is similar to Texas Hold Em; I'll give it a shot." For me that means money in the bank, baby!! ...Sometimes. :o)
