1) Playing slots in the Bahamas, sticking to the progressive machines. Wandering, I accidentally drop a quarter in a non-progressive machine and think that's stupid, I'll save it for progressives. Pull the handle, 777 comes up, and I win 50 bucks or so instead of $1200 cuz I'm too cheap to stick the last two quarters in a non-progressive machine.2) Didn't happen to me, but a friend got drunk in Vegas and wandered into a wedding reception and staggered into the wedding cake, knocking it off the table and falling on top of it. He apparently barely escaped with his life.3) Speaking of barely escaping with your life, I had a gun pulled on me in the parking lot of Circus Circus in Vegas at 2am. That'll shake your faith in humanity for a while.

yeah, pretty much. i was playing O8 one time a few tables over from the mexican poker when one really drunken guy jumped up screaming in spanish. two other guys from the table then hopped up and a shoving match (in spanish) ensued. keep in mind that drunken mexican guys yelling at and shoving each other isn't even really that uncommon at the bike, but what happened next was something i'd never seen before:one of the security guys came running up and dropped a flying tackle on the first guy at full speed. the guy wasn't very big and they went down into a heap off to the side, but apparently the security guy hit his head on something because the mexican guy got up and just stood there but the security guy was out cold. weird.then another time at the "players' bar" in the back of the room i saw another guy get knocked out. this one was worse, though: apparently this really drunk dude had left a stack of money on the bar while he went to the bathroom. the bartender took it and set it behind the bar so it wouldn't get stolen, but when the drunk dude returned to his spot and saw his money wasn't there, he just punched the guy who was closest to him in the head. that guy was out cold and the drunk guy was instantly arrested. i don't know what happened to the money.win or lose, the bike is always a good time. if you want to see some real riffraff, check out the $40NL tables.

Here is my story and this all happened in the same night. I sat down at a blackjack table at my local casino which is located in Edmonton, Alberta. To my left was an obvious rig pig with nothing but money to blow. I am there for about 30 minutes and up $100. Then I am dealt a 16 in the middle and dealer shows a Queen. I opt to stand because rig pig to my left has a soft 17 in one square and a 9 in the other square and pulling a 5 or under is unlikey based on my count. HE LOSES HIS MIND.... He says to me, "STAYING ON A 16? STAYING ON A SIXTEEEEEEN? ARE YOU A FACKING RETARD? YOU FACKING BONEHEAD. WHAT THE FACK IS WRONG WTIH YOU? IF YOU PLAY LIKE THAT I AM GOING TO LEAVE THE TABLE RIGHT NOW"The pit bosses didn't do anything about him cursing at me so I decided I would stand up. So I stood up and looked down at him (I am 6'5") and told him that unless he knew what the next 4 cards coming out of the shoe were going to be then the card I pull or don't pull is just as likely to help the table as it is to hurt it. Secondly, as soon as you start putting your money in my betting square then YOU CAN TELL ME HOW TO PLAY. Thirdly, I SUGGEST YOU DO leave as I have seen you rebuy 4 times since I sat down and I estimate you are down about $2000 (he was betting $50 - $100 at a time). He didn't get up and ask to go outside like I expected. He actually shut his trap sat there quietly for a couple hands and then actually left the table.Then a bit later my buddy hits a jackpot on the slot machines. It payed out $300 in quarters so that is a lot of quarters. My buddy tells me to go get him "a bag" from the cart that he saw while heading over to the slot machine. So I went over to this cart and took a bag and we started filling it up with all his quarters he won. Then we take it over to the cashier to get bills and that's when we got in big trouble. Turns out, those bags are Casino use only, and they thought we stole the money!!!!! So we were tackled by casino security and accused to stealing the bag of money!! So it took a lot of explaining and stuff, but finally we convinced the folks at the casino that we did not steal the money. I just told them to look at our hands (they were black from scooping the money into the bag) and to notice that the bag was not full and finally that got us off the hook.That's my story Cheers,Rev

I just got back from the World Series Of Poker a few weeks ago. While going into my hotel room, a man told me that his wife just had an accident, and that she needed to go to the emergency room. The man asked me to give him or lend him $500.00 to pay for the costs of the emergency room visit. I thought about it, and I asked the man, “how do I know that you won’t take this money into the casino for gambling?” The man answered, “Oh, I’ve got gambling money!” - Borrowed from Norm MacDonald.During my first trip to a casino, at the age of 23, I had been playing blackjack for a long time and I was getting tired. I looked at my cards, saw that I had nine-deuce = eleven, and I told the dealer that I wanted to double down. The dealer called for the pit boss and said, "player wants to double down on a twelve." The pit boss said, "you want to double down on a twelve?" I looked down, realized that I had nine-three = twelve, and (not wanting to admit that I made a mistake) said, "yeah; let's do it!"The pit boss shrugged his shoulders, and the dealer dealt me a nine for 21! Another player said, "he's gotta be counting cards!" I just smiled.

HAHAHHAAH LOLOk ok ok.... one more.... :)I was supposed to go to a tragically hip concert in Camrose, but I had to work late so I missed it. So I decided to go to klondike days casino to play in the 7 card stud game. So I sit down and the very first hand I am dealt a royal flush!!! All the other guys at the table are betting amongst themselves, seemingly not even paying attention to my rasises.... I was baffled. So then I take down the monster pot with my royal and they are all saying "What the f*** man... holy, nice first hand... we thought you were bluffing... bla bla bla".Then as luck would have it, the very next hand I get a straight flush (not a royal this time, but good enough)!!!! so I am raising hard again and all the guys at the table are like, "come on man... there is no way you did it again. Are you for real? You're full of shi**". Finally I turn up my hand!! and their jaws just dropped and hit the floor!!! It was hallarious!!! I played one more hand then left!!! They were pretty ticked at me for taking the money off the table, but whatever I was up huge.Cheers,Rev

Yep thats a great way to die.. raking in a big pot..

I disagree ... I think you should lose the biggest pot of your life as you expire... ("**** you! I'm dead anyway, *******!!! HAHAHAHAHA, take the mobney -- joke's on YOU!")_ _ _Anyway; funny story -- my buddy is playing at Mirage and a guy takes a beat, asks for a ruling on something, gets floor over and gets over-ruled ... doesn't like what happened, so he rips his hole cards in half and throws the pieces at the dealer. Exit player stage left with assist. Another one: funny not so much annoying -- clubber/stoner/fancy boy about 21 comes rolling out of the club at MGM one night about 2 am. sits at the 3-6 limit table, and proceeds to put on his sunglasses, big brimmed hat, and iPod. Needless to say, it's his first time in a casino ever, he's stoned out of his mind, he's deaf from the club music, and every time the action comes to him, I have to nudge him, then he goes through the routine of taking off his sunglasses, shutting down his iPod, and asking "What?" "How much" "It's me?" Then, before he'd act, he would re-do his poker outift. Like I said, he was such a mess, it was funny instead of annoying (as it should have been).

Several months ago, I was railing the high stakes baccarat/blackjack area and somehow got into a conversation with one of the players there. When I left, he tossed me a $1000 chip.

Playing 3/6 at a local Indian Casinoabout 4 am the drunk guy who has been playing every hand, and when he wins, he would appologizze and grab a handful of $1 chips and throw them to the person he beat, puts his forehead down on the rail.The guy next to him gets up and walks to the floorman, and points back. Ends up the guy threw up on the floor so we move to a different table.the casino security guy asks the guy if he's alright, etc. Then 15 minutes later the guy comes over to our table to continue playing.The casino of course allowed the bar girl to bring him a fresh drink.I love Indian Casinos

Fun story................During our anniversary trip to Vegas year before last 75% of the cast of the Soprano's were at the pool at the Golden Nugget. We saw them playing in the casino for the next couple of days. Very cool for us, as we are fans of the show. Annoying for the cast I imagine, as people were harassing them for photos constantly.

Two stories stick out in my mind.The first one occured on my 21st birthday. It was my first time at a casino in Wisconsin, as they have the 21 year old rule. Had been to Minnesota's casinos though, so, I knew what I was doing. Me and a bunch of my friends went out, and today was to be the day I would play live poker for the first time. So I go in, put my name on a list, then decide to take a walk around and see what other games are going. I see 3 card poker, and sit down to play for the first time. So, I was doing pretty well, and was actually up from my starting amount. And then, wouldn't ya know it, with 5 bucks on the ante, and 10 on pair plus, I hit the ol' 7-8-9 of hearts for the Straight Flush. Pocket a good chunk a change, not bad for my first time at the game.So, I get up shortly thereafter, and I count what I got, and I have 521 dollars. So, I decide to gamble it up a bit, go over to a blackjack table and put the extra 21 dollars down, 1 hand. That hand was a blackjack, and I sheepishly walked away from the table. (Of course, drinks ended up being on me at the club.)The other story happened earlier this year. There is a casino in Iowa called Isle of Capri, it's a riverboat that's docked in Marquette, IA. Well, up on the main gaming floor they have a slot called Ring of Fire. I became a big fan of Johnny cash this year, and felt that the name of that Slot was some sort of sign. (I'm a geek)So, I tell my friend, who NEVER loses on slots, to go play. She comes back with $1000. Well, that's fantastic. So, finally, I decide to play. I put about 150 bucks into the machine, and never once get the bonus game. So, disappointed, I stand up and get ready to go play some craps. My friend, the one from earlier, sits down and puts 3 bucks in, and wouldn't you know it, gets the damn bonus game. Ugh!Doubt I'll ever play that one again. -Shawn K

Another MGM poker room story...A kid with glasses that looked 16 sat down in seat 4 with 60$ at the 1-2 NLHE table. He waited a couple hands before he called from the small blind, with only 1 limper from cutoff spot. The flop came 10 q k (2 hearts). Kid checked small blind, big blind checked, and cutoff bet 30$. Kid opted to only call 30$ rather than commit his whole stack, then big blind went all in with roughly 110$ total. While the cutoff guy was calling, the Kid was digging into his pockets. When it was his turn to act, he pulled out a 100$ bill and nervously said, "I call." The rest of the table tried to hold in their laughter as the dealer said, "You can only play the chips on the table." We never found out what he had though, because he lost the pot (big blind had a/j for the straight).

You could tell how old his glasses were? That's pretty impressive.

This weekend at The Fortune Valley Casino in Central City, Colorado, the 35,000 Bad Beat jackpot was paid out. In Error.Evidently, the hand was quad aces against aces full of jacks, with the board reading A A K K J. One player had A A in the hole, with the other player holding A J. The rules for the bad beat are aces full of jacks or better, and both hole cards must be used.So where is the problem? The guy who held A J. He doesn't hold aces full of jacks, he has to play the two kings on the board. So there never should have been a bad beat given awayAlso, when a bad beat gets hit, play immediately stops, so security can confirm the hand played out correctly.The dealer was a month out of school, and there were two senior floor managers, along with the head of security in the booth. None of these people second guessed the dealer when he called for the bad beat jackpot. The casino had to replace the ENTIRE jackpot once people realized what had happened, because that jackpot money belonged to the players, not the casino.I never heard what happened to the employees involved, but I bet they cancel the Christmas Party.That is all.

I also see a problem in that there were 5 aces in the deck.

rule #1 for making up stories "Remember that there are only 4 aces in a deck"
