    Default Ook then

    I thought this was a Free 4 All forum... I'm curious as to why my post about the Casino was deleted. If I broke some kind of rule I'd really like to know so I don't repeat the mistake.

    Who else here is addicted to the casino games by the way? And whats your favorite games?

    I doubt a post was deleted w/out a warning to you. Do you mean this:

    That's a bit strange... how did my topic get moved to inside someone else's topic? Oh well... anyway back to the topic at hand.

    Someone probably merged your post because it seemed rather like it didn't warrant its own thread.

    Sometimes we merge posts into other threads when they are of the same topic. In the case of the Hangout, there is no topic, so posts that are general in nature get moved in there. Personally, I describe the Hangout as jibber-jabber...just a bunch of people talking about anything. That's where your post is

    I moved it. It doesn't need a thread, it's just a passing comment type of post that is suited better to the Hangout.

    (if this is not suited to this forum, then maybe move this to the "hang out" subforum I suppose... there's threads there that have nothing to do with anything... even one about just counting down *lol* )

    Hmm I admit I probably could have worded a better topic... I'm not really good at this kind of thing, but I'm getting the hang of it. I had just gone to make an edit to it, and poof... does not exist. Thought it was a bit strange because I didn't see a -moved- or anything.

    Aaaanyway yes the casino and arcade games on the site... who else has stumbled on those... and started clicking... having an hour pass before they even realized. Anyone have any favorites?

    I'll leave it in FFA for now. Maybe you will generate some interest.

    Iin the Hang-out, you may not have gotten replies, but as a thread of its own, you could have expected some flaming.
    Anyhow! Did you say something about the count-backwards thread!?

    Just that I happened to notice it there in the hang out forum. I had thought... wow, what a topic. Or is that topic like Fight Club or something? Rule #1... don't talk about Fight Club
    Perhaps I'm missing the point entirely, heh. That happens without my daily caffeine injection ^-^
    ---

    I am currently just randomly clicking on games, and spending waaay too much time on them...
    For some reason though despite its simplicity... I keep going back to Blackjack. I'm sure everyone here has a favorite though; I'm curious what that one game you keep going back to no matter what is.
    Anyone?

    I like roulette and blackjack personally. Wasted lots of points on those two. All of them in fact.

    You should check out the arcade too if you haven't already, there's some pretty fun games in there.

    I just lost all my money in blackjack, in one bet. I don't really get how the money part works, is the money your point count or something?

    Yeah it looks like in the casino your point count acts as your money, and I keep losing all my money (the only way I've seen to get more is to post on the forums... or have someone click the 'donate' button in your posts). The blackjack game isn't nearly as tight as the Let 'em Ride game though... I gave up after a losing streak of over 20 games in a row on that one. Even betting minimum (5) without raising any hands I still managed to run out... bleh.
    I'm just starting to get into playing a few of the Arcade games though, but I've found that a few of them cost points (yeah, the same points that the casino games take from you) to play.
    Any recommendations for good games in the arcade section?

    It's a tad bit of irony I thought. I won when I bet 5, but lost when I bet 100. I think it's rigged or something.

    Oh there's no question they are rigged in the house's favor, but I don't really think it cares how much you bet. You'll lose all the same with a smattering of win to keep it interesting to the player.

    I actually found I lost more points quicker if I just stayed with betting the same amount each time. Mixing it up tends to yield better results... 5, 25, 10, 5, 25, 5, etc... as opposed to 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, etc. Especially with computer Blackjack.
