The Gambling Part of the Story

Day 9 - Sun Oct 30 - part 3

Back at Wynn, the Quad Queen and I hit the machines.

It was fun.

We played machines, we got quads, we tried parlaying, and we drank drinks.

The coolest part was watching the secret-service Indian Grandpa Munster playing his special brand of "I don't know what the fuck I'm doing" video poker.

Actually, I took a liking to the guy. He moved to a Keno machine, so I went and talked to him. I figured he had come up with a 'by-the-pants' VP strategy that wasn't bad, but had some costly errors in it.

I showed him the WinPoker app and showed how it would teach him correct strategy.

It was clear I'd made yet another casino friend by the way he was signalling wildly to his family to come by immediately, arms making frantic, frightened arcs of appreciation for my brief 15-minute lecture.
