Leaving your chips on the rail while you go to the bathroom
If possible, I will take my greens too.
I usually chat up my neighbors, and ask them to keep an eye on my rack as well.
I have never had any chips pinched, and I have never seen it happen to anyone else.
I'm not sure how far the casino would go to help you if you did have some chips taken though. I'm guessing they 'might' roll tape to see what they see, but I bet they won't go to much trouble to try and get your chips back.
Anyway, I'd leave chips on a table or in the rail at a craps game. I wouldn't leave any large amount, though. At a craps table, I'd definitely let the dealer know I'm going away for a second and ask for a towel. I wouldn't just walk off mid-roll with my chips laying there. Also, count them, or at least only leave red + green (or whatever you feel comfortable with). In blackjack, I've left several thousand (maybe $4-6K?) at the table while I "go to the bathroom".
Slot machines or video poker -- no way Jose. If I could play on any (or a number of) machines, then I'd just cash out, go to bathroom, and come back. If that machine is the only machine I could play or there was some reason I was playing that specific machine, I'd likely ask a slot attendant to hold the game for me. If I'm not mistaken, I believe they can hit some buttons and block it out so no one can play it until I come back.
sure, I have my superstitions, and I enjoy playing them out, so I can [and do allow myself to] believe a table is hot to intensify the experience, but with a full bladder my rationality kicks in - deep down I know there is no such thing as a hot table as far as what will happen next, indisputable as the past might be.
If I ever did leave chips, I'd try to do what I've seen done, leave white chips only
Flags are $5k same as chocolates.
Quote: MDH20SKII always cap both ends of my rail with 2-3 whites, makes it harder to pinch chips.
Likewise.
Quote: Baccaratfrom79Never had a problem, never once. All the places we play we will leave them, and they are sizable amounts including yellows and flags. I have to admit that, I never left anything larger than flags or chocolates though.
I was in a 10/20 game at the Horseshoe onetime. There was an older lady in the game playing every hand and was a calling station from hell. She played to the end every time. She was running through rack after rack of red. There were other guys in the game that knew what was going on so I couldn't isolate on her. But I was the one catching all the cards. I bought in for $200 and amassed three racks of red. I stepped outside the rail to talk to a friend. Along came Joe the Greek, a casino criminal from hell. He stopped at the rail and stared at my chips. I could see the wheels clicking in his eyes. He was actually thinking about grabbing a rack and hauling ass. I walked over.
"Hi, Joe. I'm doing pretty good, huh" I said as I pointed to the racks.
"Oh, those are yours?" he said. Then he walked away.
Suffice it to say, I tipped the dealers when I finally left the table on my return.
Which reminds me of another instance at a Hearns vs. Leonard fight at Caesars. Used a paper cup there but it spilled. Luckily the floor was carpeted.

Difficult enough for me to see......In cases of real emergencies after a meal etc. I'm going back to my hotel room, not to some public restroom overrun with people who live on the street and use the facility as their home.

I don't believe you, but if this is true, what dump do you play in that tolerates this kind of crap?
Quote: sc15what dump do you play in that tolerates this kind of crap?
I would be afraid of using the words "dump" & "crap"' with the casino they are visiting as who knows what else is tolerated there.
Quote: DaddydocI also find this very difficult to believe. What do you do with the glass? Do you just leave it on the rail under the table? Hand it back to the waitress? Nobody smells it? Have you ever "overfilled" the glass? What the hell?
What are you guys and gals on about? Do you suggest simply "peeing" on the floor vs. using a glass discretely? Anyone with nothing better to do than watch a guy urinate in a cup certainly isn't "my kind of gal".
Let me explain it to you: You simply insert said glass or cup(preferably coffee type of cup) behind your belt line, down to said area, find a comfortable position which you know encompasses your unit, let it go/flow, cease, carefully remove the glass via the same route, and place it on the rail. At no time are you actually exposing anything to the camera or other players/guests. It's not rocket science. It's known as being discrete and comfortable with your body. We over here in Asia also do this on long bus rides using jars with tops as well as sporting events and movies. Whose going to leave a football game and head for the bathroom simply to take a quick piss?. I think many of you have been spoiled by your American "values" or whatever the word is. There is a world out there you must not have been exposed(no pun) to.

We aren't talking about a long period of time. It's simply as explained, a case of the person not wanting to leave his spot at the table or seat in the stands and miss some important action. If they are giving away beer or selling it, things happen. You might be better off asking why they sell beverages at said events knowing full well it's going to drive people to need to urinate. It's not a matter of "tolerating" anything. It's part of the business the casino is in.

wtf?
The casino provides bathrooms for you to piss out the beverages they're serving.

The point remains, many don't want to leave their spot/seat due to for instance, a long roll or crucial point in the game. Likewise, don't want to wait for halftime when the bathrooms are overcrowded and/or use a "toilet" on a bus which may be unsanitary not to mention, the risk of walking down the aisle of a bus on less than smooth highways. Ah to be young again when I could just "hold it" for an hour or two....

I will never forget, walking down the AC boardwalk and it was right outside of Tropicana on the south side. Two guys pissing on the wall in full view of everyone. An AC cop rides up on a bicycle and waits there right behind them. As they both turn around and see the cop the give him that NYC, "WTF officer, sorry we couldn't hold it any longer" as they were sipping up their pants. The cop is just shaking his head from side to side and they both walk away.

we need to find out if this is really an Asia thing or if Nok Tang is putting us on ...
Baccarat79, you have commented already, but how about asking around?
we have other Asian members but this is probably not necessarily a thread all have visited

Never saw anyone do this, Asian or not.

If you throw a little party at your house, I hope a guest or two pees in your wine glasses. Kind of pungent and nutty, a bit acidic and best served warm.
Quote: linkin Cambodia, urinating in public is acceptable, as men and children relieve themselves on public walls and trees.
I am calming down

And what becomes of the glass of urine on the rail? Does the cocktail waitress now deal with it? I doubt such behavior is tolerated in places like Singapore or Macau. Speaking not as a westerner, but a member of civilization this behavior is appalling and it has nothing to do with the chance that someone might get a glimpse of your pecker. It is unsanitary, disrespectful and repugnant.Quote: NokTangWhat are you guys and gals on about? Do you suggest simply "peeing" on the floor vs. using a glass discretely?

Welcome to the world outside your three, four, or five star hotels and gated communities. In a country like India, use of the street as a toilet is not only accepted, but the norm.
You have a valid point about Singapore and Macau being different, not that I wouldn't relieve myself there. We aren't in this discussion talking about our/my normal behavior. As I outlined to you, circumstances sometimes dictate you do something other than just let if flow down your leg.

As again, I attempted to explain in somewhat reasonable discourse, some people simply don't have time to wait. The need to "go" is quickly followed by "going" in certain age and health related circumstances. Winning another thousand dollars or seeing the game is more important than the attitude of those more fortunate health wise.

Yeah, well, the inside of most casinos isn't a 3rd world country and pissing in a glass for the cocktail waitress to pick up isn't an acceptable practice.
Please stay in your 3rd world country if you want to piss wherever you feel like.
The guy next to you mistakes it for his beer.Quote: DaddydocI also find this very difficult to believe. What do you do with the glass? Do you just leave it on the rail under the table? Hand it back to the waitress? Nobody smells it? Have you ever "overfilled" the glass? What the hell?

Most people are light beer drinkers, so they'd never know.

Best post of the thread award!!
So, maybe I'm the contrarion here, but I don't doubt a all what NokTang has said.
