  • Alternative Table Games

    Do any of you guys get into different types of table games like Let it Ride, Crazy 4 Poker, Texas Hold Em Vs. Dealer, etc.

    I am usually a traditional Blackjack, Craps guys but I also really like to play Crazy 4 Poker. Could be because I hit a straight flush on a $25 bet, also my last of chips. Nice time to walk away getting a couple hundo in the pocket instantly.

    Usually stick to craps and Blackjack myself, last trip my friend played Texas hold em and it has to be the dumbest game a casino could offer. Maybe he just wasnt catching cards, but it really looked like a bad game

      I usually play Pai Gow or Crazy 4 Poker. Crazy 4 Poker was the first game I played at a casino. I hit a straight flush a few hands in and have been hooked ever since.

          I have been a big fan of playing war my last few trips. I usually only like to play 1 on 1 against the dealer. I think ive had the best luck only playing 2 or 3 hands and walking away. If I win the first hand I let the bet ride. Its a nice way to double up, or lose all your money really fast

            Let it Ridei s a simple game I will play occassionally to mix it up since I usually play poker at night or painfully play slots while the fiance tries to win her millions on the quarter slots. Thank God for free drinks when that occurs.

              Just watched Vegas Vacation last night, forgot about the scene when they go to the alternative casino and the games are like pick a number, which hand?, war, and paper rock scissors haha

                Three Card Poker can be pretty fun and mindless (which I like when I am just trying to drink). Also helps when the first time you play you hit a str8 flush 2 hands in a row and walk away + $600 or so.

                I guess you should always play when you have Q,6,4... correct me if I am wrong but this lowers the houses edge and is the correct play.

                The more simpler and mindless the game, the better!

                  Vegas does have war. Never played it, but its there

                    Cosmo had War when I was there in December. Can't remember the specifics, but I remember that there were a couple rules that really bumped up the house edge

                      There's no house advantage on the the first card, the house advantage happens if the first cards tie and you go to war. Has to do with the bets that are placed additionally to original bet. Plus to bet on a tie is one of the dumbest bets in a casino %wise

                        Yeah that sounds like it. I think they make you double your original bet on a tie to keep going otherwise they take it
