Report from Costa Rica

[The Mayor]

So far I've been to two casinos. There is no blackjack (the offer a similar game, called Rummy -- dealt from CSMs). There are no other identifyable games at which one can gain an edge. For example, the video poker is 7-5 JOB (if you know what I mean...)

I am writing from the computers in the lobby of the Hotel Santo Tomas in downtown San Jose Costa Rica. Yes, I am having a great time!

200 Colones

There are no $ checks that I could spy, so you get a 200 Colones check.

I went back late last night to a casino here to see if things were different ... what a piece of crap. That's reason enough to never consider living here.

Video VP

Hi Eliot. Thanks for that info. Casino at the Hilton here but no cards, only VP. My wife and I droped in and while she was playing quarter slots I found a VP and played Jacks or better. 25 cents but played 1.25 so I could hit the progressive which I ended up doing in about 10 minutes. Got a straight flush in clubs and won 273.50. Now I can't get on that machine anymore...laugh. You should see some of the poker strategies. scary

I miss it.The blackjack sucks there.Just play the 25.00 match plays they hand out at the door and you will make more ev than playing that crap rummy.get a girl to play the other 25.00 MP and you will pay for your room for the week.
