Been to the casino a few times now. Only leaving with more money. No longer looking for conversation (if it happens, great). At the core, it's all a game of Risk. Within this world though there is technique (there's always technique). On the surface, it's very easy to overlook. With just about everything, I consider myself to be real open-minded. Here, I'm testing slots and tables.

Slots. Either way, It's about eliminating blind luck. The greatest gamble seems to be where you first seat. In most locations, once you're down, your ass is grounded. Beware of the elderly. They'll sneak up and hop your ride once you call it quits.

- Don't play on machines that have had a last win of any sum. (You want 0's and high last bets.)
- If you're smooth, keep notes on where everyone is at. Acknowledge body expressions (who's winning and who's losing, etc).
- If you've come out with more money than you started and seem to have won anything above 'minimal', move machines. Don't let the machine suck blood. It's a desert.
- On the machine, pay attention to the angles you can win. If you could've won big with a higher bet (and different angles), consider it a lost and try moving machines.
- 'Loose' American machines seem to be cashing out better than Japanese machines. Not sure though. Gonna' find the programming rules tonight.
- Feeling brave? Follow suit as the elderly, and snatch a ride.

Next you have tables and dice. Dice are mystic. I'm certain you could ace in knowing your own movement, blood pressure, and their shape/size/position/face/weight. Tables are all about playing it safe. Intuition is lost in knowing the game well enough. You can always play 21 to an equation. Complete counter-balance of the 'loss' zone. Poker is different. It'd be nice to play Poker with friends, or enemies.

It's still not all in my favor, but one way or another, it'll be eventually. Risk regardless.
