The weekend is almost over and I am sleepy (it's 2.30am), so I am going to be real quick on this one. My housing, Rains, had organized the Annual Black Tie Casino Night this Friday. The description said "Highly formal attire is strongly recommended" which I earlier thought was a prank, so I went around the venue to check what people are wearing. Considerable number of people were indeed dressed up in formals, so I followed the suit (pun intended).
There were 4 games - Blackjack, Poker, Roulette and Craps! I knew only poker before this event. It was fun learning other three on the fly. I got a good hang of Blackjack tricks while I found Roulette and Craps pretty dumb with lots of unnecessarily complicated terminologies. There was no actual money involved, we played with millions of dollars of chips that were given to us upon entry :P Some people were really good (or should I say lucky) and had more money than the blackjack dealer at one point :D There were few raffle prizes but I wasn't lucky enough to win them :D
I think what made this event a success was not the games, but the ambiance. Dim lights, mild music and a counter for classy drinks made one perfect gambling atmo! The variety in cocktails was simply amazing, there was Rum, White Russian, Screw Driver, Cosmopolitan and Gin n Tonic. White Russian was kinda funny because it's essentially a mixture of vodka and milk!! :D Kudos to CAs for organizing this superb event and especially, for having a patience to say "All bets on the table" for continuous 3 hrs :D
