My Summer Bucket List: Buckets Not Included

May 17, 2016 by Slots.lv Casino Leave a Comment

The sun is shining, the birds are singing – time to think about death. Okay, maybe that’s not the purpose of all those articles that tell you the 10 things you need to do before you die. But once you tack on that unnecessary “before you die” condition (as if you’re going to do these things after you die), what else are people supposed to think about? Why can’t we just do these 10 things before next Wednesday?

Actually, thinking about your “bucket list” might be the only way you ever get around to doing some of this stuff. Procrastination makes fools of us all; we put off all manner of activities, even the fun ones, and we do so at the risk of never getting to do them at all. So here’s my personal bucket list of 10 things that I’m going to do this summer.

  1. Cook up a batch of grasshopper tacos.
    2. Go horseback riding.
    3. Learn to play “The Surrey with the Fringe on Top” on the guitar.
    4. Try lawn bowling.
    5. Plant something.
    6. Drink a new kind of beer every day for a month.
    7. Bake a cake for my Mom.
    8. Go vegetarian in June.
    9. Fly in a helicopter.
    10. See if I can still do a handstand front-flip.

Now, while I don’t necessarily recommend #10 for everyone, the food items seem pretty do-able. Lots of food items to choose from – including the one where I plant something. That’s probably going to end up being food, too. What, you were expecting something different? I’d have to get a license to grow that. Besides, I’m already going to be getting myself hammered on all sorts of exotic microbrews. Maybe I’ll do the microbrews in June. Beer is vegetables, right?

Pros and Cons of Dealing Blackjack

May 16, 2016 by Tyler Terrence Leave a Comment

Every once in a while, when asked what I do for a living, I say that I sell insurance. Nobody follows up on that. Nobody has ever said to me, “Tyler, you magnificent hunk of manhood, please tell me more about insurance. It must be so glamorous. Maybe I’d be good at it.” Who knows, maybe they would. They’d probably do better at insurance than dealing blackjack.

The dealing itself is easy, assuming you didn’t blow off your fingers in a July 4 fireworks incident or something. But there are things about this job – good and bad – that you need to take into consideration before you sign up. Here are some of the more important pros and cons about dealing blackjack that I can share with you.
Pro: It’s easy. Like I said, if you’ve got two working thumbs, dealing cards isn’t too difficult. You don’t need a high school diploma for this job. You do need to learn all the intricacies of dealing, like how to shuffle properly and how to handle the chips. There are courses for that. Or you could watch some YouTube videos.

Con: People are mean. This is the first and most important hurdle for aspiring dealers. Customers who lose money will blame you for it, and call you bad names. It gets worse if you’re a woman. And even worse if you’re a woman who deals blackjack while wearing next to nothing. You can tell yourself not to take it personally, but deep down, it still hurts.

Pro: It’s social. Not everyone is mean all the time. You get to meet some interesting characters at the table, including famous people. And if you like to party hearty, you’re in the right place. Please party responsibly.

Con: There’s a lot of night work. Not just night work, but shift work. It’s not natural to put your body through that kind of stress, especially on top of all that partying. Caffeine won’t save you. Over the years, I’ve had to cut down on the number of shifts I take. It’s not something you want to make a career out of.

Pro: It’s fun. We’re talking about blackjack here. Other card games can go pretty slowly, but blackjack is rapid-fire, so I’m always mentally engaged. I wouldn’t be dealing blackjack if I didn’t love the game.

Con: There is no Nobel Prize in Dealing. People might appreciate your wizardry with the cards, if you’re good at fancy shuffles and all that. But you’re not exactly a pillar of strength in your community. You’ll need something to do on the side, like volunteering at soup kitchens, or journalism. Someone’s gotta do it.

Everything You Wanted to Know About North America’s Most Curious Custom

February 2, 2016 by Emma Leave a Comment

No matter how mild or cold the winter, we can all agree that by the tail end of it, we’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of spring. The desire for warm weather paved the way for a custom that breaks the isolation of winter and brings people together. That custom has been going on in America for centuries – you may know it as Groundhog Day.

Every February 2, neighbors and strangers unite to witness a nervous little groundhog’s actions. As the story goes, if the lil’ guy sees his shadow, he’ll feel frightened and retreat into his burrow. You might as well retreat too because this predicts a long winter – six more weeks to be exact. If the day happens to be overcast and no evil shadow lurks about, the groundhog will stay out, indicating an early spring.

The custom originates from European weather lore – which revolved around a bear or badger. Some smart fellow realized the pitfalls of trying to make a wild bear the focal point of community gatherings; it would be mayhem. And could you imagine if people tried capturing badgers – even worse honey badgers? Like you could convince one of those buggers to help out with a community event. Don’t bother because honey badger don’t care.

The American version opted to use groundhogs. The first event on record took place in 1841 in a small Pennsylvania village called Morgantown. The crux of the custom remains the same: If the groundhog sees its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. But the Groundhog Day pioneers lacked some of the more entertaining aspects of the current cultural event, such as the kooky names given to today’s four-legged aspiring meteorologists.

But just how accurate are these claims? A study by StormFax Weather Almanac examined the accuracy of Punxsutawney Phil’s predictions and found that he’s correct about 39% of the time. Don’t worry Phil, you’re right on par with today’s meteorologists.

Blackjack Home Games

January 20, 2016 by Tyler Terrence Leave a Comment

It’s been a little while now since I dealt blackjack in Vegas – not very long, but long enough that I’m starting to miss it. I certainly don’t miss the abuse that I took from some of my customers, or the way my clothes smelled by the time I got home in the very early morning. But I do miss people in general. I feel like I’m always behind a computer these days.

So I finally caved in and decided to start a home game. The inaugural Tyler Terrance Invitational Blackjack Tournament was held last week at my palatial estate, and I’m very happy to report that it was a success. We’ll be having another one next month, and if that goes well enough, there will be another one after that. It’s amazing how much fun you can have when you choose the people you spend time with. And supply them with ample beverages.

The French Deck

This particular game featured five other players, and myself, all of us veterans of the casino business. We were playing for small enough stakes so that everyone was comfortable breaking out all those “advantage plays” that you can’t get away with at proper casinos anymore. My friend Tony was more than happy to show us how he was shuffle tracking – we were only using two decks, from an old Canasta set that my grandmother gave me.

I can’t blame the casinos for doing what they can (within reason) to limit advantage play, but at the same time, I’m more sympathetic toward the players. Edge sorting? That’s what the casino gets for not having a clean deck. I still can’t believe Phil Ivey got nailed for edge sorting at Crockfords.

Turn, Turn, Turn

If you’re thinking about hosting a home game of blackjack, you’ll probably have to do it a little differently than we did. Nobody at our game was concerned about getting cheated; again, we were playing for small stakes, and everyone knew each other and their tricks anyway. Unless you’re in the same situation, you’ll need to make sure everyone understands and sticks to the rules – some of which you’ll be in charge of. For example, how many hands will each player deal before the next guy gets his turn? The dealer always has the advantage, so these things need to be ironed out and kept track of.

Then there’s all the banking you have to do. People are going to buy chips, then they’ll want to cash them in at the end of the night or whenever they leave. Your guests will have to arrive with enough cash on hand to play. And if you’re not careful, you might get people trying to cheat the system. No problem; like I said, it’s fun when you choose the right people for your home game. Choose wisely.

Escape Winter with a Caribbean Retreat

January 13, 2016 by Emma Leave a Comment

Every year, I enjoy a little escape from the cold at a special retreat down south. I always come back feeling invigorated and ready to take on the world. This year, my friend Grace and I went down to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and stayed in the lovely Hard Rock Hotel. If you haven’t checked out this slice of paradise, you’ll want to add it to your bucket list. This beachside resort is the definition of luxury, and includes a spa, golf course and a massive casino.

What better way to kick the winter blues than by getting pampered in a Caribbean resort? The beautifully-decorated rooms in this hotel make you feel like royalty. There’s nothing quite like a double hydro spa tub to invigorate the senses – either that or the 13 luxury pools on site. The pools mimic venetian-style canals and are complete with swim-up bars. They range from party pools, where you can rock out to music, play some activities and meet others to exclusive and members-only pools. And of course, venture a few steps further and you have the biggest pool of all – the Atlantic Ocean!

Of course, there is only so much bathing you can do until your fingers and toes prune up, and not being avid golfers, Grace and I decided to liven things up with a trip to the in-resort casino. I felt very comfortable amidst the sounds of clinging coins and beeping slot machines because of my stint as a Blackjack dealer in Vegas. I immediately found myself gravitating towards the Blackjack tables, where I casually put in $100.

I got my two cards, checked the dealer’s face-up card, and instinctively knew that it was going to be a good round for me. I doubled down. My end hand: 20, enough to beat the dealer. I played a few more rounds and could tell that the dealer wasn’t used to customers who use sound Blackjack strategy. Working on a resort, he probably mostly gets drunks and newbies looking for entertainment. I kept trucking and eventually had a pretty sizable chip pile – the perfect time to exit the table. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with these winnings.

The next day was our final full day at the resort. I wanted to conclude our retreat in style, and treat Grace at the same time. After all, she was kind enough to go play penny slots as I became absorbed by table games. It had been a while since I played any, so it was a nice trip down memory lane – a trip that lead to a full day of massages, body wraps and facials, all in a unique and private environment. They call the package The Rock Star Experience. Did I tell you they used to call me The Big Deal in Vegas?

Top 10 Ideas to Make Sure Your Christmas Party is Awesome

December 24, 2015 by Emma Leave a Comment

So you’re hosting a Christmas party this year. Excellent. Have you ever done this kind of thing before? Not everyone is cut out for the job. It takes people skills, a whole lot of planning, and a bit of extra money. You’ve got all those things? Fantastic.

Have you thought about what your guests are going to do once they arrive? Eating, drinking and conversing are good for a family-size Christmas dinner, but not enough for a party. You need activities – games, contests, that kind of thing. It’s like a Super Bowl party without the football. Or is it? Here are 10 activities to pump up your Christmas party, depending on the crowd you’re trying to bring in.

  1. Football

    If your party happens to be on the same day as one of the college football bowl games – like this Saturday, for example – you can throw the game on and keep it muted, as a conversation starter. No bowl game? Stick with the virtual Yule Log.

  2. Ugly Sweater Contest

    Hand out prizes for people who show up sporting their ugly Christmas sweaters. Or, for extra credit, get a bunch of red and white paper and assorted other materials, and see which team of guests can build and model the best costume – within 15 minutes.

  3. Pin the X on the Y

    It’s the old children’s game with a twist: instead of pinning the tail on the donkey, you pin it on the reindeer. Or you pin the red nose on the reindeer. Or on Santa. Extra fun for tipsy adults, provided no sharp objects are used.

  4. How Many Candy Canes on the Tree?

    Put as many candy canes on your Holiday Tree as you can manage. When your guests come in, have them guess how many canes there are. Get them to write their answers down with their name and put the paper in a ballot-style box. Open up the box at some point (right after the requisite toast is good) and figure out who won the prize.

  5. Photo Booth

    Set up a spot where your guests can have photos taken. Give them some props to work with – Santa hats, antlers, giant cardboard cut outs they can stick their heads in.

  6. Rudolph Drinking Game

    Show the classic 1964 movie version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Every time Rudolph’s nose glows red, take a shot.

  7. Scavenger Hunt

    Make a bunch of ornaments and hang them all over the place. See how long it takes for your guests to find specific ones. There are tons of ornaments you can print off the Internet and whip up in a jiffy.

  8. Christmas Bingo

    Instead of numbers, the squares on the Bingo card have certain Yuletide experiences on them, like “I got a pony for Christmas.” A great way for your guests to learn more about each other.

  9. Texas Ho-Ho-Hold ’em

    An easy one for the poker-loving crowd. Play your usual cash game, but if you win a hand with 7-2, you get a bonus Christmas present.

  10. Caroling

    ‘Tis the season. If you’re lacking a piano, rent out a karaoke machine and get people yodelling to their favorite Christmas tunes. It’s best to pull this one out after everyone’s loosened up with a few drinks.

Five Fun Gift Ideas for the Holiday Season

December 16, 2015 by Emma Leave a Comment

With the holidays quickly approaching, many of us are busy checking out the newest products to hit the stands and then using this research to carefully craft our wish lists. I like to use the holiday season to treat myself and my loved ones to fun things that we wouldn’t normally splurge on. It’s time to ban Christmas socks and wool sweaters. We can buy clothes throughout the year. Come the holiday season, I’m always looking forward to the fun gadgets that will have me swooning over how ingenious they are. If you’re in the same boat, have a look at these five awesome gift ideas that are perfect for the techie in all of us.

 

1) Oculus Rift Goggles

oculus_rift_dudeAll I want for Christmas is a sett of Oculus Rift virtual reality goggles. These babies will take any movie or video game experience to the next level. As soon as you put on this headset, you’ll no longer be an observer, you’ll feel like you’re actually present – collecting those gold coins or grabbing spare lives like a boss. I can only imagine how terrifying watching a horror movie would be.

2) Ravean Jacket

Ravean-01

Cold weather always turns me into the wimpiest creature imaginable. Winters don’t get too chilly where I live, but I do go up north to visit my family over Christmas – and let me tell you, it’s about time someone invented a heated down jacket. It only takes 90 minutes to charge, and then will give you up to 10 hours of heat, and it will also charge your smartphone! Made from water resistant materials, it seems like this jacket has thought of everything.

 

Get it here: http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/ravean-the-worlds-first-heated-down-jacket-with-6x-charging/

 

 

3) Mini-Clutch Speaker by Stellé Audio

Mini-Clutch-Speaker-by-Stell---Audio-01

An old purse of mine had a built in speaker that I loved despite how hideous it looked. Every time I took a trip, I’d bring that purse along so that I could listen to music while getting ready. It was also ideal for picnics, camping, barbecues, and the list goes on. For this reason, I’m thrilled to see that a much cuter and higher functioning version has been invented. This is definitely going to end up on my wish list this year.

 

Buy one here: http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/mini-clutch-speaker-by-stelle-audio-bluetooth-speaker-and-clutch-in-one/

 

4) Leafy Umbrella

Leafy-Umbrella-by-Design-Complicity-01Oregon can get hot in the summers, and everyone gathers under the trees for shade. Why not take the tree with you for eternal shade in the form of an ultra stylish leafy umbrella? Let the sun filter through the umbrella the same way it would naturally filter through leaves on a tree. This umbrella will give you the perfect amount of indirect sunlight.

 

 

Check them out here: http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/leafy-umbrella-by-design-complicity/

 

5) Quadcopter

dji-phantom-2-vision-quadcopterIt’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a quadcopter? How cool would getting a slick new quadcopter be? Imagine all the park days, lounging about as you fly your quadcopter over all the mesmerized spectators. Okay, I may be exaggerating a touch, but these things never cease to amaze me, and they’re pretty affordable too.

Bond and Baccarat

November 20, 2015 by Tyler Terrence Leave a Comment

Eventually, I’m going to see that new James Bond film. Spectre came out two weeks ago here in the States, and it’s supposed to be quite good. It better be – they spent almost $250 million making it. It’s also heartwarming in a strange way that Bond is finally going toe-to-toe once again with his arch-nemesis, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. It’s been over 40 years since their last encounter – unless you count the opening sequence of For Your Eyes Only or Never Say Never Again.

 

What I’d really like to see is Bond playing baccarat again. Unlike some people, I was okay with them replacing baccarat (chemin de fer, to be specific) with no-limit Hold’em for the 2006 movie version of Casino Royale. If you’re going to play a card game to take down an enemy, it might be a good idea to play a game you have an edge in. Baccarat is not that game. But it is a great game with a very low house edge if you play your cards right. And it’s everything I think about when I think about Bond. Okay, that and Famke Janssen in GoldenEye.

The Iron Track

I read Ian Fleming’s books before I saw any of the Bond films, and Casino Royale was the first one I read. Fitting, since it was also the first Bond book of the series, way back in 1953. No, that’s not the year I read it. This is the book that laid the groundwork for everything that we know about Bond today. It also comes closest to capturing the author himself.

In the unabridged version of Casino Royale, Fleming includes a how-to guide for readers who might be unfamiliar with chemin de fer, the original version of baccarat that remains popular in France to this day. This particular variant uses a six-deck shoe, or to be more precise, an iron box – which is where chemin de fer gets its name. Fleming later claimed he lost a lot of money playing against a German agent at the Estoril Casino in Portugal, thus giving him the inspiration for the central plot of the novel. Others say Fleming only played against local businessmen.

Not a lot of Bond fans talk about the original film adaptation of Casino Royale, the spoof version from 1967 with David Niven, Peter Sellers and Woody Allen. But this film did better than any of the “canon” Bond films when it came to baccarat. The game also pops up in Dr. No, the first of the Sean Connery films, as well as Thunderball, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, and For Your Eyes Only. Famke Janssen’s character, Xenia Onatopp, even mentions it in GoldenEye. Since then? Nada. Don’t worry, though: I’ve got a script for Eon Productions that they can’t possibly turn down. It’s got action, drama, romance, and more chemin de fer than you can shake a martini at.

Five Unforgettable Celebrity Halloween Costumes

October 28, 2015 by Emma Leave a Comment

If you’re scratching your head over what to wear this Halloween, don’t fret – some of the best costumes are thought up at the last moment. You can’t force creative genius, and sometimes it strikes when you least expect it. We’re looking up to the stars for some last-minute inspiration to get us running to our tickle-trunks.

Alessandra Ambrosio’s Queen of Hearts

BEVERLY HILLS, CA - OCTOBER 25: Model Alessandra Ambrosio attends the Casamigos Halloween Party at the home of Mike Meldman on October 25, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images for Casamigos)

The Brazilian model was definitely turning heads with her smoldering Queen of Hearts outfit. She must have made quite the entrance at the Casamigos Halloween Party in Beverly Hills in October 2013. This Alice in Wonderland tribute is cute and funky, and shows off the supermodel’s legs beautifully.

Katy Perry’s Sad Cheeto Costume

458149350

If I were to have a celebrity BFF, it would definitely be Katy Perry. She’s cute, quirky, and never takes herself too seriously. Who else would show up at an A-list Halloween Party in Los Angeles dressed as a giant sad Cheeto? Chin up Perry, you’re the top pick in any Party Mix.

Iggy Azalea’s Cruella de Vil

Iggy-Azalea-Cruella-de-Vil

A lot can go wrong with a Cruella de Vil costume, but Azalea manages to hit the nail on the head. She completes her look with an actual Dalmatian named Lucky and a replica of the car from the Disney classic.

Matt Lauer’s Baywatch

Lauer

What I would have given to see Matt Lauer bust through a beach backdrop and run over a sand pit dressed as a Baywatch babe. The NBC news co-anchor surprised everyone with his sense of humor and general awesomeness.

Heidi Klum’s Aged Version of Herself

heidi klum

Coined “The Queen of Halloween,” Klum manages to find a way to shock everyone, every Halloween. Now everyone’s got their own Heidi Klum personal favorite, and it’s hard to pick just one, but we found her “aged version of herself” to be especially unexpected and definitely unforgettable.
