Rounders is a film that resides in the hearts of poker enthusiasts everywhere. You’ve got to love it. Even if you’ve sworn poker off after a series of bad beats, one glimpse of that film and you’re ready to make a go of it. My friends and I would actually put it on to pump us up before we headed out to a tournament or a home game. If you’ve seen it you’d understand.

Rounders revolves around a pair of poker studs played by Edward Norton and Matt Damon, and (of course) they fall into debt to some dangerous folks and are forced to gamble their way out of it. Throughout their quest to save their butts from their debtors, we get treated to a cornucopia of poker wisdoms and strategies.

The nods to famous players and well-known hands, as well as the knowledge of the game make it apparent that the film was written by someone who loves the game. The game play scenes have all the action of a WSOP game on ESPN, and Damon’s narration gives the action an extra dimension. Throw John Malkovich and John Turturro into the mix, and you’ve got a solid movie that appeals to everyone, especially us poker nuts.

When going to a casino, you want to play slots. However, how do you know which ones will pay out as much? There are slot machines at casinos that are called tight or loose. The names mean either a machine pays out well or it does not pay out that much.

Loose slot machines are of course the most popular because they pay out more and more often. The tight slot machines are still tried because you never know when the big payoff will occur from that. In both types of slot machines, you can still have fun with it, just depends on how much you wish to invest in the fun.

If you wish to try a tight slot machine, the best way to go about it is to limit the amount of money you put in at a time. In doing this, you are limiting the amount you will loose. You will still have fun, but not go away with loosing a lot. Waiting to see which ones have been played a lot is also a way to see if there could be a pay out soon.

Casinos have a variety of slot machines, both loose and tight. Some will pay off soon and others you will need to play more often to do so.
