About a year ago I was playing 21 at Casino Pauma, a tiny casino in Northern San Diego County. You have to pass several larger casinos on the way to Casino Pauma and this leaves Pauma almost empty on most nights. During a shift change I got to talking with the only other player at the table. He soon confessed to me that he had himself banned at every other casino in Southern California. Pauma had opened less than a year earlier and he had never "banned" himself there. Eventually I told him he should be a man and that I thought his actions were pathetic. I feel the same way about these gamblers in Missouri. |
