Some Asian-American does blow their paycheck at casino. One a while I play with couple hundred of dollars for fun. There's about 5-6 casino in Minnesota. I usually go there for seafood night.

I don't think most people will waste their $100 monthly salary, they has to eat and pay bills and not much left after that. Some will though.

Lao people usually play cards for days, when someone is born (Ngun Gum) and when someone dies (Hean Dee). They get bored, so playing cards is something to do to keep themselves occupied, and it has become part of Lao tradition. People still get some sleep, and those awake take turns playing cards.

In the old days when there was no electricity, people needed to stay for days to keep the fire burning so that mother and her newborn baby are kept warm, and keep the ghosts away from stealing the baby. That's how playing cards all day and night became part of the Lao tradition for "Ngun Gum".

And when someone dies, people need to look after the body 24/7 and keep the candles burning. In Lao culture, the deceased is kept inside the house for days until they are cremated. There's also a superstition that if a black cat jumps over the coffin, the spirit will wake up angry, so people looked after the coffin to prevent that from happening. And that's how playing cards to stop boredom became part of the Lao tradition for family and friends when they go to "Hean Dee".

How do you know all this borlahn info, nang?

Are you just improvising here?

What's up with that black cat? Grin

Lao elders once told me.

Black cats are associated with bad luck in western culture as well.

These are my rules of gamble:
1. If can not afford to lose than do not gable.
2. If not tough enough do not walkin casino.
3. Hit and Run.
4. Be honest to yourself and your family.
5. Gamble is Bussiness ( as job ) Not For Fun.
Asking yourself when you had lose $1,000 ? Do you think it fun?
Most of the ppl will answer "NO"

I had seen many bad things in life. I knew how bad the gamble is about. I been there, I knew.

Just follow the 5 rules then you will do OK.

Yea $500 is a lot of money. I should've donated some of that to Lao student instead. You lose and want to win your money back or get too greedy and wanted more, that's when casino get you. That's my first time losing $500 at casino. I usually play no more then $100. I go about once a month or every two month for seafood night.

That's actually not bad losing $500 at the casino. Many people blow away thousands of dollars in a day, if not in an hour.

It's good that you usually play no more than $100 for entertainment purposes.

Some people are addicted and loss thousand and thousand of dollars. Some people lose everything house, car. Casino is only for entertainment only. We can never beat them, even if you win big you'll keep coming back again and again. In America they allow everybody , 18 of age and older to gamble at casino.

Even small rollers can lose more than $500. They may not lose that much in one visit, but they keep coming back to chase their losses, and they end up piling up even more losses.

Anything is dealing with the money, you have to treat it as the bussiness or job. Most ppl look at the casino as the place to entertainning that why the house have advantage on the customers. They all thinking to go there to have fun. Casino is not the place to go there and hang out or just go there to get a free drinks and buffet. I had see a guy just be there to get a free buffet and end up losing his money more than $2,000 for just a buffet.

There is game in most of the casino you can play in chance of 50-50 called " BACCARAT"; this only the game you can bit the house. Most of the Highrollers are playing this game and the fungoers / Lowrollers are end up play the slotmachines and Blackjack are the real suckers.

In Laos at Phu Khao Khaiw Casino, their Baccarat is different rule than here. I myself do not think anyone can bit them. They burn a card every single hand out of 8 deckcards with the 416 card. Its not easy to count them and the slotmachines is 1000% sucking in not pay out.

DON'T STEP IN THE CASINO FOR JUST HAVING FUN. GO TO BAR OR CLUB WILL BE BETTER.

What you saying is true. One a while I go for casino for seafood buffet and play with $100. It's fun walking around and drink beer or free soda with some friends. I go about one a month. I like the crabs leg and seafood. One time I hit $700 at Las Vegas slot machine last January after eating seafood there.
