Don’t you love watching other lose all their money at the slots and table games?

Posted on 18th November 2009 by admin in table games

In a casino, I love watching people hit little tuny babay-sized "Sizzling 7s" Progressive quarter machine jackpots of $250 to around $300 and then they p#ss it all back at that same machine for another hour after they get their jackpot money.

I also love it when someone at craps or backjack suddenly bets a lot of chips on bet and BOOM!!, they lose that bet and suddenly they’re broke. I get a kick out of that.

What do you think of them when they foolishgly lose their money like like? I love it and take total pleasure in seeing it.

wow.you’re not very supportive of your fellow gamblers….

How much money are these old board games worth, if anything?

Posted on 18th November 2009 by admin in board games

I grew up in the 90s and came across a bunch of board games I have and was just curious as to how much money I can get from a pawn shop, or if it’s worth going to an antique appraiser? They probably are still making most of the games I have, but I have the original’s and was just curious. The games are Guess Who, Connect Four, Risk, Stratego, Life, Monopoly, Scrabble, and Triple Yahtzee. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you got any of them in the 1990s, none of them are "originals".

For a few of them, having a particularly old copy in excellent condition might be worth something. However, unless it’s one of the first printing of Monopoly from 1936, "something" probably doesn’t mean more than 10 or 15 bucks.

i’m visually chanllenged. is there was to enlarge the text and pictures in games…..such as mah jong?

Posted on 18th November 2009 by admin in mah jong

I would like to play mah jong solitaire, but cannot see the tiles well. I’ve tried maximized the screen, but that does not help to enlarge the figures, tiles or game board. Could someone please help? Thank you.

if you are playing in windows xp or vista in the control panel there should be controls for magnifiers for the screen so it magnifes what you mouse over im not sure if it will help on mah jong

if you ask at a computer shop or a office supply they may have a screen you can place in front of the moniter to magnify the whole screen

why would i have been barred for two days from playing backgammon?

Posted on 18th November 2009 by admin in backgammon

I was barred from playing backgammon, for no apparent reason, and all the game I had played were erased. I rarely talk when I play, so I couldn’t have made anyone mad. I hope.

people who run booters/scrollers cannot bann you or boot you anymore, the ping flood does not work ……..Yahoo’s new technology has caught up with these people, if one is loaded now it is an automatic deactivation.
but…….. the way you behave with your type can be considered to be one of these people running a programme so read on and learn what NOT to do

Yahoo banned you, and Yahoo will not tell you why you are banned. NOBODY else can bann you. Some attention deficient morons will try and take the credit …. You actually do not have to do anything wrong to be banned. These are Yahoo’s new rules, and it is not going to change.
Read on to avoid it happening again……….
.You click too fast/too much and jump around too much…. Yahoo’s new technology, has a glitch … banning IDs
… this doesn’t mean you violated TOS. Many are getting chat bans for no reason. If you got booted / disconnected then banned… then tell yahoo … Perhaps if enough people tell Yahoo and they get enough complaints….they will do something about it. ( keep in mind yahoo work on a VERY delayed response) tell yahoo here, click the link then click the freecreed link > http://freecreed.com/userid.html
if you have done any of the below expect to be banned
Yahoo has changed the "goalposts" to try and stop the sex bots / scrollers / booters / abusers / cheats…If you scroll ..type too fast…or..send multiple invites…jump lounges or tables ..click kibitz multiple times…use multiple nics..or basically click around too much….you will be BANNED….Yahoo thinks you are up2 mischief doing these things, you WILL be banned….
If you run a booter ..spamm….. violate the law … cuss or abuse chatters among other things … and Yahoo receives and abuse report … and RECEIVES A COPY OF THE PAST CHAT SESSION (SCREEN SHOT) , Yahoo has the USA courts legal permission to deactivated or ban accounts.
minor banns can last for 8 hours………others years..most times it is only the ID that is banned…….. for major violations it is an IP bann, and deactivation of all accounts.
Use another ID or make a new ID till your bann has finished

What is the name of the with the chess-like board and arrows on every square indicating where to move?

Posted on 18th November 2009 by admin in chess

What is the name of the old simplified chess-like board game that had pieces shaped like knights and kings and such and each square had arrows indicating where your piece could move? I played it at my Grandma’s house about 25 years ago and loved it. The arrows were drawn to look like they were made out of wood, if I remember right.

Originally released as Smess: the Ninny’s Chess, you were playing All the King’s Men by Parker Brothers.
