Casino Tunica (A success Story)
It was my first trip to Casino Tunica, and not only was I happy to get the chance to play blackjack, but I was also there to get married. Before the trip, a friend had given me a Basic Strategy chart. I began studying the chart everyday for 2-weeks before the trip. As soon as my fiancee and I checked in to Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, we dropped our bags off in the room, and then hit the tables. Using Basic Strategy, I played for 4 hours, got all my drinks for free, and was up $50.

Needless to say, I was happy, my main objective was not to lose. The next day, well I got hitched, and since it only takes 30 minutes to get married in Casino Tunica, that leaves plenty of time to play games, if you know what I mean. So, after tying the knot, the new wife and I decided to go down to the casino and do some more gambling. My wife played the slots, and I stuck with the blackjack table.

I had similar results again, I played for about 3 hours, got my drinks for free, and was up about $20 when I left the table, and this was after tips that I had payed to the waitress and the dealer. So all in all I considered it a success. On our last day in Casino Tunica, my wife had given up hope on striking it big with the slots, so she decided to join me at the blackjack table. We sat down at the table at around 4 in the afternoon.

I would coach her when she needed help, but there were times when she wanted to go with her hunches, even though I suggested she should stick to the basic strategy method I was using. What can I say, I had been married one day and I was already whipped. We both played blackjack until 1oclock in the morning. We played 9 hours straight before calling it a night. There was a time when we were up $500, but we just kept playing. We were having fun and it was our last night in Casino Tunica.

So by the time we had left the table we were up $300. The only money we had lost was at the slots. After practicing blackjack with the basic strategy for only 2 weeks, I was very pleased with the results. Now when I play I use a progressive betting system, and I have had great results.

Retarded Player at Casino Tunica

This casino Tunica story is good for a laugh.

There was this guy playing Spanish 21 up the middle, 2 hands. The guy gets a blackjack and a hard 20. Dealer pays the BJ, and heads to first base. Guy takes 5 bucks off his blackjack, and then ADDS it to his hard 20. (Dealer missed the post-press).

The dealer then pulls 21, and takes the post-pressed bet. Player then throws a FIT because he ILLEGALLY capped his bet, and should get his 5 bucks back. He demands to see the Boss, who immediately is called over and explains what bad things will happen to him if he tries that stunt again.

And I get paid to see this stuff happen.

Casino Tunica Memo from Casino Manager:

Subject: Casino Tunica Table Games: "SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING" (S.H.I.T.)

In order to assure the highest levels of quality work and productivity from our Casino Tunica dealers, it will be our policy to keep all employees well trained through our new program of SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (S.H.I.T.).

We are trying to give our Casino Tunica dealers more S.H.I.T. than anyone else. If you feel that you do not receive your share of S.H.I.T. on the job, please see your Casino Tunica pit manager. You will be immediately placed at the top of the S.H.I.T. list, and our pit managers are especially skilled at seeing that you get all the S.H.I.T. you can handle.

Casino Tunica Dealers who don't take their S.H.I.T. will be placed in DEPARTMENTAL EMPLOYEE EVALUATION PROGRAMS (D.E.E.P S.H.I.T.). Those who fail to take D.E.E.P S.H.I.T. seriously will have to go to EMPLOYEE ATTITUDE TRAINING (E.A.T S.H.I.T.).

Since our Casino Tunica pit managers took S.H.I.T. before they were promoted, they don't have to do S.H.I.T. anymore, and are all full of S.H.I.T. already. If you feel you are full of S.H.I.T. as a floor supervisor, then you may be interested in a job training others. We can add your name to our Casino Tunica BASIC UNDERSTANDING LECTURE LIST (B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T.). Those who are full of B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T. will get the S.H.I.T. jobs, and can apply for promotion to DIRECTOR OF INTENSITY PROGRAMMING (D.I.P.S.H.I.T.). If you have further questions, please direct them to our HEAD OF TRAINING, SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (H.O.T. S.H.I.T.).

Thank you, Casino Tunica BOSS IN GENERAL SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (B.I.G. S.H.I.T.)

The Mississippi River flows along the county's western boundary, and the landscape is dominated by rich Delta farmland with an occasional wooded bluff. It's a nice, pretty environment, and it helps people forget about the carnage that happened to their pocketbook while they were inside a casino in tunica...

The Casino Tunica Strip is home to the third largest gaming market in the USA. The Casino Tunica Strip has 9 world-class casinos. Each casino features 24-hour gaming plus all the amenities of modern full-service vacation resorts. And since gaming in the casino tunica area was only legalized in Mississippi since 1990, all of the facilities are quite new, luxurious, and beautifully well-kept.

Casino Tunica vs Playing Online ...
Most casinos in the casino tunica strip set the payout on their machines between 88 and 96 percent. If you make $800 worth of bets, you will end up losing around $50-$70 dollars..

The cool thing about online gambling is that the overhead of the casinos is so small that they can afford to lose money one many of their players. It's much better odds than the casinos in Vegas. At a online casino, you can make a $200 deposit and get $400 worth of chips. Now, if you make your $800 worth of bets, you'll end up with around $180 dollars. Even if you lose $100 (which isn't going to happen) you'll _still_ end up $100 ahead. So, if you want to make money, play online. If you want to spend a Saturday nite at a casino (and spend 1hr stuck in traffic) go to the Casino Tunica Strip...

I've spent a fair bit of time in casinos in the tunica area. I'm definately a regular on the casino tunica Strip. I've lost more money than I care to admit, but I do have two favorites. These are two casinos that I kind of like going to. The best payouts are at the online casinos, but if I don't moind losing a few bucks, these are two casinos in Tunica that I play at...
