You'll get it in no time bro. The league is going on, as well as the double trouble thing. Kick some ass 🤪🤪.
Thank you, bro 😍 it may take a little longer as I happen to be sucking in both of those, but I'll get it 😁

Considering that blackjack is probably the only game that can really bring profit to a player with the appropriate knowledge, the question of choice as such would not even arise. Blackjack.

Another way of looking at it. And why not, as long as you think you wouldn't get bored.
I'd honestly enjoy railing my buddy more then I would a slot or a blackjack tourney. Maybe I'm just a bit of a different breed that way :ROFLMAO:. I loathe slots....do enjoy playing blackjack now and again thou just don't enjoy blackjack tourneys. Thought I would and have tried a few but nah I just don't enjoy them.

Cheers!!!

I don't play for money from friends or acquaintances. It's wrong. If a friend offered me a game at his own expense, I would thank him and refuse.

Agree. Some people choose slots justifying their choice by looking to have fun, what they don't know is that Blackjack is a lot of fun to play on top of its low house edge.

Blackjack, of course. Because Blackjack is at least the probability that my friend will be satisfied with the result.

True. Whether you want a game in which you have some chance to make profit and have fun or a game with more potential to please your friend, blackjack is the way to go.

If I can only choose between these, I'd rather stay and cheer for my friend. :)

Why is that?
You don't like either or you don't know how to play blackjack? Since slots don't require any knowledge.

I'd definitely go to my poker tournament... However, if the payout my friend is offering on the slot machine is tempting, I might make an exception... I don't like blackjack, since I memorize the cards...

That's not a choice martin. Imagine yourself in the situation described in the 1st post of this thread and make a justifiable choice.

I wish I could memorize the cards like you, blackjack will be certainly my forever choice.
Unless there's some translator mistake in your post.

I have no idea what slot tournaments are like, but I think they are probably more interesting than blackjack tournaments. I would choose slot tournaments.

You find yourself at a casino with a friend who's registered in a poker tourney starting soon, but you're not.
There re 2 casino games tourneys also starting soon.
Instead of just hanging around while he's playing, he proposed that you play one of them and he'd pay for your entry.

Which one would you choose? A slots tournament or a Blackjack one? Why?
Blackjack tournament, easily 😂
At least there I can pretend my decisions matter.
Slots tournament is basically: press button → lights flash → machine spiritually evaluates your worth as a human being 😭
With blackjack, even if luck destroys you, you still get the satisfaction of dramatically saying: “Okay, statistically that was the correct play.”
Which is the gambler version of therapy.

I've only played a little blackjack, so would probably choose the slot tourney as I've had some luck with these.

It all depends on my mood. If I felt quite cheerful, I would choose blackjack. And if I felt a little tired, I would be too lazy to think and I would choose slots.

I would prefer the blackjack tournament, because it is a game that doesn't need only luck, it also needs strategy. But generally I would prefer to play in a poker tournament even better!

I wouldn't make the same choice, but I admire the leaning toward the unknown.

Here’s how a typical slot tournament goes:

  1. Join the tournament. Some tournaments are free to enter, while others require a buy-in (usually $25 to $100).
  2. Get your credits or spins. Everyone starts with the same number.
  3. Spin fast. You have a limited time (often 3 to 5 minutes) to play as much as you can.
  4. Score points. Each win adds to your total. Some machines may give bonus points for special features.
  5. Check the leaderboard. The top players with the most points at the end of the round win prizes.
You don’t keep the credits or winnings from the machine itself — the real reward comes from placing high on the leaderboard.

Certainly the best choice for people who like using their brains.

You seem to feel comfortable with that choice, otherwise I would never recommend it.

That's a valid point I honestly did not think about.
Being tired could be the reason you're not playing poker to begin with. If it's good enough not to play poker, it's good enough not to play blackjack.

Agree, rather play something that doesn't rely only on luck.
