* I must handle the dice once with each hand before I throw
the dice. It seems to help my crap game and I still loose money.
Glen D. Cincinnati OH
* When sitting at a table or at a slot machine.....if I am
losing I will walk around my chair and sit down again. this has had some
good results before, not always a surefire change of luck; but it seems
to help! Robert Rice Marion OH
* Playing blackjack, I have to sit in the first or last
spot. When playing poker I wear two different color socks. When playing
Video Poker I only play when less than 2 other players are in the video
bank seating! Paul Schubring Williston, FL
* I never sit in a corner, I always look for machines with
the number 7 on them. I look at the last payout and if there is a 13 or
666 I stay away from it. I always have my good luck charms and I touch
the screen and talk to the machine. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy but - I
am not alone. Does it help? Maybe - maybe not but it makes it
interesting. S. Hopkins Conneaut, Ohio
* My only superstition quirk is that if I leave a machine and
someone immediately starts playing it I will walk away as fast as
possible just in case they get lucky. Joanne Kammer
Lansdowne, PA
* I perfer not to play on a machine that another person has
just finished with. I believe that the machine needs a rest between
players. Let it cool down and relax before hard use begins again. I
believe that it makes that machine much happier and is more likley to
produce better results. Everything needs a break at some point. It is
what makes us all happy at the end of a long day. If we are respectful
to the supersticions that we all have, they will be more kind to us. Billie

* Superstitions are funny arent they? Guess we all have them
but whether they actually work is a question for the millennia. they are
after all superstitions and lets face it have no real factor in any
outcome. but we do have them, that is a certainty. mine is when i visit
vegas. a pocket tee shirt, my red yankee hat, and my money folded just
so. do they work. well on more that one trip i wanted to burn my hat and
use the tee shirt for a rag. go figure. Ralph
* My little quirk is bringing my lucky Hirkimer Diamond,
quartz crystal with me to las vegas..if nothing else it keeps me in step
with the dealers. it,s not much bigger than a quarter,, does it work ??
well it did get me removed from palace station once. robert b
hylands
* Yeah, well, kind of a superstition. I always put on my
right sock first, then my left sock, then my right shoe, then my left
shoe. When putting on a shirt, I always put my right arm in the sleeve,
first. When I'm in the casino I never order a drink 'till I
win.....anything! Needless to say, I get thirsty, real fast! heh, heh.

* I will only pick up the cards with my left hand while
playing black jack. Not superstitious, just not lucky with my
right hand. Dwain H. FL
* My only quirk is that I cannot gamble when my husband is
near me. For some reason he is not lucky for me when we are in a
casino. Bev. Detroit
* I don't think Superstitions really matter but you have to
blame something when you lose. Our superstition is that if you buy
dinner for the group, your bound to start losing. Artie Lane
Houston, TX
* Glad I looked at the responses first. Bev. Detroit could be
Linda from Florida (my wife). Personally, when I play roulette I
never tip while I play. That has brought me 'bad luck.' I will tip the
dealer before s/he leaves just to let him or her know that I am really a
George and not a Tom. Otherwise, I tip when I color out. At the craps
table, being a Don't-side bettor, when I want a 7 I'll make a dealer
hardways bet. That brings the 7 the very next roll or the one next.
Arnie SP, Florida
