Casino Rush CharlesLuciano
There might not be anything on Bootleggers more exciting than betting a million or so against high odds while feeling you might actually win them! The rush is an amazing one, but how does the Casino management screen look like?

I've held a Casino this week shortly, and I have experienced that feeling. Of course as you all know, my Bootmail inbox got spammed with the classic "raise the max for me" messages. I had been Notoriously rich and didn't see a reason why not to give the gamblers some fun. So I traveled to Colorado and let the games begin.

On a Racetrack my nightmare was someone getting Green or Purple. These two alongside pink do occur a lot although they have very ugly odds. So when I made the Max 50,000 I thought, I'm going to lose it, and I almost did.

It's as if the game gives you a head start as a gambler then screws you!I stopped being Notoriously Rich. I lost over 3.5 Million, until I made the max 100,000. That now changed it all.

From Zero to Hero, I got all my money back plus 300,000 added. Then I put the max back on 2,500 and sold that casino as fast as possible. On that same day, I had gambled (like many of you players) four millions on war and what do you expect? Yes, I lost them.

The rush the players get while playing is nothing compared to the rush the casino holder feels. It seems like a collaborative attack against you is being executed. You see all the gamblers results, and you lose all that money all at once, while some gamblers lose and some win.

This is why bootleggers' casinos are fun. You can actually own them, and "be the house" if you believe in the quote "the house always wins". Maybe in real life and not bootleggers though!
