OK, this is really funny: they'll often let a borderline looking customer gamble as long as they're losing - swear to God! - but if they start winning, then they're gonna card them, and legally refuse to pay them and kick them out!

Here's how it works: You're slightly under 21 and going ahead and gambling - read "losing" - and two suits start talking about you:

-See that gentleman over there with money on the pass line?

- What about him?

-Think he's over 21?

-Gee, I don't know

-"7 Out, Pay the Dont's" (They take your money)

-Well take a close look...what do you think"

- I can't tell...maybe yes, maybe no.

-"7 Out, Pay the Don'ts" (They take your money)

- Could go either way, I guess.

- Well, keep an eye on him, OK?

-OK.

-"Winner 8, Pay the Line"

- Hey, just a minute: you, over there, Junior: may we see some sort of ID, please?

That's how it works. Same on slots. You'll play 'til you try to get a hand-pay, and then it's all over!
