Winner?

Late last night, a heated dispute arose at a high-limit blackjack table inside a well known Native American Casino a hop away from Scottsdale, Arizona.

A wise person, whose name is long forgotten by history, and whose bones are nothing but dust, once supposedly exclaimed – ‘Nothing good happens in the very late night, but drunken arguments about palaces of smoke.’

The three, extremely intoxicated, blackjack casino players, were well known by management for their custom cowboy hats, sharp roach stompers, and quick foul tempers. The casino employees even had a nickname for the trio – the angry stooges – tolerating them only for the significant increase in daily profit which their visit always produced.

The uncouth gamblers, who always seem to care less about Blackjack rules and more about banter, were agitated that night, even more so than usual. A croupier, employed by the casino, described the incident – ‘It was all the hollering that got my attention. I thought we are being robbed or someone had a heart attack. Then I see the angry stooges, screaming at each other and security people moving them into the high roller private room, where they won’t scare the tourists.’

After speaking to sources inside the casino, details of the incident emerged, and perhaps the answer to an ancient question that’s still debated by Philosophy majors. One of the angry stooges, Moe, was sullen because he lost a $50,000 proposition bet he made trying to predict the composition of the American Idol Top 24 contestants (after the first half was revealed). Moe’s hate was focused on his sister, who convinced him to change one name in his top 24 pick for another.

It turned out that he exchanged one of the Top 24 qualifiers for a voted off loser, costing him the $50,000 bet. His friend Larry was winding Moe up even more, by bragging about an online blackjack casino sending him a refund of $62,000 of unclaimed funds, forgotten by Larry long ago. Larry bet the unclaimed funds on the American Idol top 24, just like Moe, yet choosing correctly and winning around $150,000; which didn’t sit well at all with Moe.

Curly, the third of the happy group seemed content sniggering at Moe’s stupidity for listening to his sister, and at Larry’s stupidity for forgetting $62,000 at some internet blackjack casino. The incident quickly evolved into screaming, at which point security quickly escorted the trio away from the nervous tourists.

The croupier joked with reporters that ‘maybe if the cowboys were smoking Spice, they wouldn’t be so angry’. Perhaps he is correct, yet such a comment would definitely anger Jan Brewer, the Governor of Arizona. Governor Brewer recently signed HB2167 into law, criminalizing the use of synthetic marijuana, commonly referred to as ‘Spice’ or ‘K2’. ‘Spice’ is a chemically infused blend of herbs which reportedly has similar intoxicating effects on users as marijuana.

Arizona currently has a total of 36 casinos spread over 28 cities, with multiple blackjack card games available with a broad range of betting limits. Be sure to visit, so you too could have a story to tell friends back home, that unfortunately could never be experienced playing blackjack at an internet casino.
