Fun not allowed at boardwalk???

[WichitaDM]

I had the most bizarre casino experience this last week in vegas. Wackitywhiz and I were pretty wasted and decided to go play some 3$ bj at the boardwalk as the money would be so inconsequential it would fit our 4am stupor perfectly. So we walk in and by the roulette table and decide to put 50 each on black just for fun to "freeroll" on blackjack. So we plop our 50s down and the pit boss (basically the villain of the story,James comes over and puts an eye on us like 50$ is a huge bet or something). Well of course its black and he mutters something and our boy James is obviously pissed off. So we go over to the 3$ table and set the 50 we won down and ask for all 1s. Seconds later James is over yelling at us telling us we cant have more than 10 1s per piece.

At this point he decides he wont stop watchin our table. So about every hand i start doubling on almost any 2 cards which of course i nail the first 3-4 hands. My buddy and I are hi-fiving and having a great time in between hands. This is when it gets really bizarre. He comes over and tells us that we are busting his chops and that we need to stop celebrating our wins rubbing it in on him and also giving the table signals. The funny thing is that its an auto-shuffle game so counting is not possible and neither are signals. After a few more hands he comes back after a round of high fives at the table and tells us that we have to leave if we dont cut it out. So my friend and I are pretty pissed at this pt.

We decide the best thing to do is to make sure everyone knows that having fun is illegal at the boardwalk. The players are laughing, the dealers are laughing, the implosion jokes are rolling. Basically at one point we were threatened again.

Overall it was the most ridiculous time at a "casino"(if you can call the boardwalk that) i have ever had. I have done much worse as far as rampaging a casino and never had anything said to me or come close to getting kicked out of anywhere, anyone else have similar experience?

[LionelHutz00]

Yes!
Almost the exact same thing happened to me there about a year ago when me and two of my buddies were getting hammered and playing blackjack. The pit boss was hovering around and mad-dogging us for giving high fives and having fun.

[CaseS87]

They must dislike money.

[Bartman387]

maybe he is bitter because he just found out that dump is being torn down.

[Vlorg]

Well the place is closing in 2 days and being torn down so...good riddance....

I got booted from the crap tables at Harrahs for same thing. Was rolling hot, high 5ing etc...whole table was making $$, was warned twice, but wtf that is what craps is about. Finally a big guy discreetly asked me to leave.
Went back to Casino Royale where they at least tolerate a good time.

I dont understand why casinos are upset about high-fiving and having a good time. I dont see how this could possibly negatively affect them. If anything it would draw people to gamble more if they are having fun or see people having fun. Just stupid imo

[surfinillini]

this is just strange, I don't get it

No casino could have that as policy. However, it's certainly possible that a foolish employee would do something stupid.

[KidParty]

It is also possible that there is more to the story.

[surfinillini]

We stayed there for a spring break one year back in school. We would hit the surf and turf buffet latenight and walk out on the bill, I'm gonna miss that place.

Wichita,

That is weird as hell. When I'm drunk and gambling and high-fiving and stuff, the pit bosses are generally right there high-fiving me and doing everything in their power to make sure I don't leave their casino.

Well I don't know why they would have a policy against High Fiving, but I certainly understand why they may have a problem with drunken guys at a crap table slowing down the game with their celebrations.

[Jeebus]

Because those drunken guys are eventually going to go on a massive down spiral and give all that money back? Sounds like a good reason to get rid of drunk people.
Sounds like the 4 queens when I took 200 drunkenly playing holdem bonus. All pissy and made me leave rather than giving the money back.

but you're El Diablo - they know you /images/graemlins/heart.gif Party Blackjack

they want you there instead of at Party

[WackityWhiz]

haha, nice post wichita... everything he said is true, cept he didn't brag about the double down on a 14 against a 5 enough. The entire table was rolling. Even the dealer was laughing discretely at James. It was wild times and James wanted nothing to do with us.

On our way out I mentioned something about meeting him oustide in an alley sometime, he heard me and had someone else come over to confront me about it. I just shrugged it off and we went and rampaged craps at the Monte. I realise that I'm in the wrong by threatening this guy, but i was wasted and didn't really care at that point. We were not acting bad prior to this outburst by myself.

Off topic, but a few days earlier we were at the bar at the tropicana and Joe the bartender said we were going to kill ourselves if we kept it up. We were pounding down SoCo and lime shots (i swear they were doubles) every 5 minutes or so for 2 hours.

Cost of Roulette - $270 dollars
Cost of Craps - $325 dollars
Cost of the Texas comeback in the Rose Bowl - $910 dollars
4 days of rampaging vegas - Priceless

I would *ALMOST* never condone walking out on a restaurant bill, but YECCH that buffet was so awful that management should have paid the customers to eat the food, not the other way around.

[octop]

youre trying to give your money away and they dont want it
brilliant

[henrikrh]

High-fiving is a very very subtle signal for gamb00l up the count is goot.
