Games of chance

Post by Eurocracker »

Games of chance are as old as the humanity is. Such games are exciting and enjoying, but they may be very dangerous... :roll:

Tell us your opinion about those games and perhaps your personal experiences.

Which of those games do you like special? Or do you hate those games at all?

I have only played in the portuguese casino of Vilamoura and in Macau, the Temple of games, the Mecca of the casinos, the Paradise of gambling! Who cares about Reno and Las Vegas when you have seen Macau...
I lost all my fortune (about 20 euros in each!)
By the way, does someone know that the largest casino in Europe is the Estoril Casino (20 km west of Lisbon)? I was never there and I pass nearby a few times each month...

I like playing slot machines or fruit machines as they are called in the UK. But only the UK ones, they have sub games and are not like the US ones where you only have to get 3 or 4 symbols on the winline and that is it. I am even planning to buy an UK fruit machine. :)

A good site to download UK fruit machines to play on the pc (they play like the real thing) is this one.

You will have to register before you can download though.

I like playing Pajazzo. It's the game where you put a coin in the machine and hit the machine so that the coin flies to a slot. It's actually more like a game of skill than luck. I'm quite good at it. I hit the machine as hard as possible and already almost get on plus. About every 2,5th time I hit my 20c coin into the slot that gives me 60c. Last time I earned whopping 1,4€ with 60c ;)
But then I played them as I didn't need them for anything. If I got 5€, I would of course have changed it to a note ;)

I like to play in casino's

My favourite game is Roulette, but I can also enjoy
the horse-racing game we have in the Holland Casino.

Last weekend I got my first hit by changing my gaming tokens
into Euro's when I left the Breda casino.

It must be very strange to play a game of chance with the intention not to win... :? By the way, slot-machines we call in Germany "Groschengräber", in English, grave of Groschen. Groschen are the former 10-Pfennig-coins (1/10 D-Mark).

Never gambled, and I've been living all my life 15km from a casino (Vilamoura's). I've played in instant lotteries and national lotteries (Totoloto), though. Once I made €1 in an instant lottery :lol:

I have found this website. You can play these games for free and also not free. As you can see it is a Belgian website but it is also in other languages like English.

I have never entered a casino. With this website I can learn these games
