Jackpots and Crackpots
The average land casino consists of a thorough cross section of people. Different kinds of people make up the gaming world irrespective of their personalities. And amongst all games, blackjack is perhaps the most popular.
Listed below are the stereotypical people that make up the gaming world.
Serious Sams
Although everybody wants to make money, SS are serious players as their name implies. They know their basic blackjack strategy pit pat, and never make a mistake, never smile and never speak.
Mamas and Papas
Typically in their late 30s, and away from kids and the stresses of urban living, they are the ones desperate to have a good time. They grab a table, get intoxicated and are bent on making good friends with the dealer. They hardly ever have a clue of the game and most times are being constantly reminded of when to hit or stay.
Drunken Fat Boys
Always drunk and constantly drinking, he is hardly aware of the fact that the dealer is waiting on him. The fat boy has obviously failed the Basic Strategy 101 but when he hits a pair of 7s he is ready to draw the third one and celebrates like he is a Blackjack genius.
However
Typically the however is a 'her' standing behind an accomplished player who also happens to be her boyfriend. The boyfriend has the onus of playing as well as keeping the however entertained and wishes she would occupy herself differently, away from him.
Wishy-Washy Wandas
These are generally senior citizens who glorify a blackjack table. They are fun and talkative and have usually mastered the art of blackjack through long term playing and experience. Still, they refuse to trust basic strategy in certain situations. They will procrastinate and think profusely on whether to hit 16 against the dealer and ask the opinions of their fellow players. But ultimately they stick. These are perhaps the most fun of them all.
