Casinos are lively venues where players can gather together and enjoy social commentary, interact and win pots of loot. But win or lose, it’s about how the game is played and how much fun you have in the process. A good joke will take you a lot farther than you think. I’ve enjoyed the company of A-grade personalities during my time as a blackjack dealer at an established Las Vegas casino. These are some of the more memorable jokes from sin city.The beggar that surprised the inn-keeper
One day a beggar ambles across a cobblestone road and peers into the local inn. It’s a frightfully cold night and he is in desperate need of money to buy something to eat. He pokes his head into the door and asks the inn-keeper, “Please sir, could you spare $2 for a homeless man?” The inn-keeper raises his head from his journal and walks over to the man. ‘What will you do with the money I give you? Will you buy alcohol?” The beggar smiles inwardly, “Oh no sir, I wouldn’t do that.” The inn-keeper leans closer and whispers into his ear, “Will you gamble my money away?” “Sir, I don’t drink and I don’t gamble,” he replies. The inn-keeper steps back in shock, “Come upstairs to meet my wife so that she can see what happens to a man who doesn’t drink or gamble!”
The gambler who had to choose between heaven and hell
An oil baron suddenly passes away from a massive heart attack – stress, claimed the doctors. On his way to heaven the tycoon has a chat with the guardian angel accompanying him. ‘Say, what’s it like in heaven? I’m a man of action and I love to be entertained.” The angel looks at him and says – ‘I’ll tell you what – let’s take a look – you decide if it’s the right place for you.’ Satisfied, the man finally arrives at Heaven’s gates. He peeks through the door and sees several old men sitting at a table playing chess. ‘This is a little boring,’ he says dejectedly.
The angel then offers him an alternative. ‘Look down sir, that’s hell you’re staring at.’ The former oil baron sees skimpily clad gals prancing around an expansive craps table, pawing at the gamblers shooting craps. A smirk begins to form at the corners of his mouth. ‘Now that’s more like it! You know I was a high-roller back on earth.’ The angel whispers something to Heaven’s gatekeeper. ‘Okay it’s been decided!’ he utters. ‘You are free to descend.’ With a suddenness that he found deeply disturbing he descended into hell where he was promptly incinerated. While he was writhing in agony he yelled, “…but that’s not what I saw” The angel replied, ‘Promo videos are a real bummer, aren’t they”
The sheer volume of hilarious stories I come across could fill volumes. Luckily the humor section at 777 is just the venue and you guys are the perfect vehicle to drive the jokes home. Gamble responsibly and enjoy the games :)
