If you like the excitement of the casino but don’t want to travel, then you’ll find the TouchTable Sic Bo pretty interesting. It’s essentially a large touchscreen table that plays games. Don’t worry about spilling your drink, since the table is even drink proof. Up to 4 players can get in on the game and the graphics are said to be very high-resolution. Another feature is a live dice shaker. And of course it will keep track of all the money that your friends have won and you have lost. Don’t be worried about it matching your decor as it is available in various attractive colors.
I was heading out for one of my occasional gambling binges this holiday weekend, when what did I see? It looks like online auction house eBay has gotten their very own slot machines.
By the time I managed to stumble my way over from the buffet line, the eBay slots were so busy that I didn’t even manage to donate my money to them.
From what I could tell, they’re those typical nickel slots with tons of perplexing jagged lines which must match up in order to pay the big bucks. Of course, unlike the real eBay, there’s no guarantee that the highest bidder will win anything.
The machines have icons for popular auction categories such as electronics, motors, collectibles and fashion, but they only take (and occasionally dole out) cold hard cash. And while there won’t be any money showing up in your PayPal account, all of the players on the system can win a free spin at the same time, so I guess that’s better than nothing.
Wanna play the eBay slot machines in person? Head on over to the oh-so-addictive new Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, MI (just over an hour East of Chicago).
If you happen to be in Las Vegas this weekend, you might want to check out the 2008 USA Rock Paper Scissors League Championship on June 20 in Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The Champion with the best hand skills will win a $50,000 prize and a ticket to compete in Beijing,China during the Summer Olympics, where they will represent the U.S. in the inaugural International Rock Paper Scissors Federation Championship.
I’ve never been entirely clear on the official rules. It always gets tricky with rock against paper. Paper can wrap around a rock and strangle it, but on the other hand, rock can beat paper to a pulp. Check out the video below. It’s strangely mesmerizing.
