Poetic Gambling
I can't promise you Paradise, but I can guarantee you a day full of fun and a night sparkling with laughter and entertainment at Par-A-Dice in Peoria, Illinois.
I'm called sometime poet, sometime writer, sometime teacher, most of the times a hard working person in daily life, and recently master of baccarat at the Peoria Casino River Boat, Par-A-Dice. That's a hard-earned title after months of observing and playing the table game full of fun and laughter around the clock. It may come as a shock, I'm in no way a gambler. I'm on a self-imposing mission to complete my life education like Maxim Gorky, a Russian writer who wanted to taste and experience everything before writing about it. So there are my open cards and I am with all the necessary disclosure before we sit down at the table for business. Clear and Net.
I get acquainted to the table game of baccarat by pure chance with the invitation of my close friends at work when Mitsubishi was still in full production with two shifts night and day.
There are all sorts of games at the casino to meet all the demands from people from all walks of life. The Slot machines are for individuals who like to play by themselves. Blackjacks are for people who know to play cards, pokers are for people who love to challenge. Roulettes are for people who love chance .... And baccarat, ah.... my favorite little game, is a social game for everyone, fun, simple, and easy to play, no matter who you are, newly joined novice or experienced professional. You bet on either the banker or the player, that's 50% winning, no doubt about it. If you like to spice up the night, try on tie which will give you 8 to 1.
We, the once in a while regulars, have got to know each other, each player by first names or nicknames. In fact, after a few games together, we have became a tightly knit, friendly and fierce little group of players like the knights and ladies of the round table under the legendary king Arthur: Sir Newman, Sir Pham, Sir Raymond, Sir Bobby, Sir Superplayer, Sir Black Fortune, Lady Kim, Lady Yun, Lady Sleeping Beauty, Lady Radiant Smile, or of course Sir Master Master of Baccarat. There is a certain camaraderie among the players who get together around the semi-circle table of baccarat headed by a member of the Casino Royale: Allen, Brian, Ken, Jonathan, Tom, Donni or Susie who take turns to deal the cards ...
Bottle of water, soft drink, tea and wine are served at the table frequently by beautiful waitresses. Throughout the games, rounds of applause, high five among the players who cheer up each other are heard loudly and joyfully.
Come and see, friends, poets and writers around all corners of the world, to Peoria, where runs the Illinois river that pours into the Mississipi. We can walk hands in hands along the river, talk, compose poems and have fun and even rest regally at Par-A-Dice Hotel with the royal treat by hosts and staff at the facilities. Come and join our group of the round table knights and ladies. Come for the fun and control yourself, don't get addicted to gambling, know your limits.
