All the slot-lore about picking a "hot" machine is totally true wrt drinks. We once found a bank of Magic-EightBall machines that were along the wall next to the bar. Every waitress in the place passed those machines, and clearly they all thought we were in their territory. I routinely had a drink in each hand (pushing the button with the bottom of the glass) and a waitress would ask me if I needed a drink.

Of course I agreed, and just made sure to finish one by the time they came back. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Pai Gow, WPT Allin Holdem, TX Holdem Bonus, or carribean stud are my favorite gambool games for getting one's cheap drink on.

all in holdem, although super fun, can get pretty expensive

My game of choice is roulette. I find the lowest limit and place a bet (red or black) every 3rd-4th roll or so and get drunk rather cheaply. I'm probably putting 10-15 bets of $3-$5 each hour. If I run really bad, I'll be down $20 when the hour is over and up a bunch of Grey Goose White Russians.

blackjack has gotta be moved to the "sucks" category. risk of busto before drink arrives is way too high. i know this from repeated experience.

This is awesome. I've definitely sat at the wrong slots before and had no waitress to be found for over 30 minutes.

The best, though, is just to sit at the video poker right at the bar. You got the bartender right there waiting for you.

There are many versions of video poker that are a win longterm giving their 100+ payback schedule for perfect strategy. Throw in a get slot card and this adds to the gravy.

You are 100 % correct.

But alcoholics (govman) and tourist's don't care about long term winning.

True, but if they break even long enough to feed a lot of money through the machine, they can get comped a trip so they can return for more boozing and touristing.
