I assume everybody knows Twister(1996), the classic cinematic masterpiece about a divorced woman hunting down roaring tornadoes to avenge her father while also trying to get back with her ex-husband while also ducking it out with evil tornado chasers.
I would suggest this adventure for characters around lv 6 or 7: an air elemental is CR 5 and enemy casters have enough levels to have a variety of spells. At higher levels, your players could attempt to attempt to fight the storms directly.

The premise

An area of the world is routinely hit by tornadoes, at a much higher than usual rate. It's Kansas, but fantasy.
A natural meteorological phenomenon? Ridicolous, obviously it’s magic. A cult built and hid three temples to the storm gods, and they increase the rate of storms and tornadoes.
Every few centuries, an evil, massive tornado appears and destroys everything, and it’s about to happen again. A group of magicians specialized in studying weather patterns and ancient cults are the only people aware of the danger, and they’re working to stop it before it’s too late. But it’s not easy: they don’t have the ability to delve into the temples alone, and a group of treasure hunters looking to become rich scavenging the temples is getting in their way.
Only the players can help and save the region.

Introduction

The Good Guys
Your party will be contacted by Johanna Hunt, leader of the group of good wizards. With her are Harthur Paxton, her ex-husband that is accompanying them for unclear reasons (he’s still in love with her, but stubbornly refuses to admit it, even to himself.)
The party could also meet them on the road, while under attack by air elementals, or find them in town buying supplies and trying to warn people of the impending danger.
Other members of the party are The Preacher, a religious fanatic that sees signs in the weather and can make divinations, The Dustman, a weird wizard that creates and sells potions, constantly on an altered state of mind and very unreliable.
The movie has more NPCs, feel free to throw in your favourite, they'll be there mostly for show or minimal support. I suggest not putting too many or it risks slowing down everything and boring the players.
Some hooks for your group

Saving the region. Tens of towns will be destroyed if nothing is done.
Money. There are treasures and items, in the temples.
Ancient knowledge. Knowledge of spells, other planes and the weather hide in the temples.

Each of the 3 temples is powered by a magical item of the storm cult. Only when all 3 are removed, the storm will stop. The Johanna team wants to destroy them, to make sure it doesn’t happen again. The rivals want to sell them.
Greedy players may attempt to keep the items for themselves or sell them, angering Johanna, and if your players are playing big meanies, they could be hired by the Treasure Hunters in the first place, meeting Johanna only later.
The Bad Guys
The Rival Hunters are a group of mercenaries, magicians and tomb riders that only care about money, they want to pillage the temples and sell the content, instead of safely destroying it.
They all dress in identical black cloaks and menacingly ride black horses.
The Storm Cult is a generic cult of evil people wants to summon the Perfect Storm and destroy everything hoping to receive its blessing of wealth and power.
The Perfect Storm: this powerful Air Elemental is the final Tornado. It can’t be fought unless the party is at a very high level. It’s summoned in the prime material every few centuries for a single day.
It takes the form of an F7 tornado, with winds of up to 300 mph and it actively hunts for cities and people, causing as much death and destruction as possible.
It can lift entire houses and throw them directly at you, with pretty good aim.
Smaller tornadoes will regularly appear, followed by raging air elementals that hunt the players trying to stop the cult. Most tornadoes should happen far away, dealing damage in the distance, a grim reminder that the more time the players take, the more lives will be lost.
You could have one cross the path of the players, forcing them to slow down unless they want to face or, it maybe have it attack a nearby city, forcing a moral quandary: help them now, or finish the quest as fast as possible and leave them to die?
If the players take a long time, many towns will be razed, especially if the Perfect Storm has arrived. If they are fast, they should be rewarded by finding the region mostly intact. If they dilly-dally, it will be a graveyard.

The first temple

Both Johanna and the Hunters know the location and are headed there. In this buried stone building, many cultists protect the item chamber, with the aid of air elementals (Enemies stats below).
If you want to spruce it up, consider a few storm-themed traps:

A narrow bridge with sudden gusts of wind that threaten to push you down.
Wind currents that stop projectiles.
Rooms filled by storm, rain and lightning, with lightning rods that deal damage around them.
A room filled with a foot of water or a metallic grate floor that the cultists can throw lightning at.
A slope with a water current dragging you down and a hidden pit at the bottom.

At the end of the temple, the players will find the first item: The Skull of Dalton. Crafted from the Skull of a long-dead archpriest, it holds a crystal globe in its jaws, and inside the globe is a raging storm.
Skull of Dalton
Requires attunement.
The skull has 10 charges. While holding it with one hand, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC: Gust of Wind(2 charges), Wind Wall(3 charges), conjure minor elemental(4 charges) or Storm Sphere(4 charges).
The skull recharges 1d4+4 charges each day if it is left in the open for more than 4 hour.
The skull grants advantage on all checks to maintain your balance or avoid being pushed, even if not held.
Johanna Hunt will want to destroy it right away. The players can convince her to keep it for the duration of the mission, to help fight the other temples, or refuse entirely and anger her.
Outside, the group will meet with the treasure hunters and be taunted by them. If the group has the skull, the hunters will offer to buy it. accepting will anger Johanna, refusing will cause the hunters to threaten the group. Another refusal will cause them to leave menacingly, promising they will come back.

The second temple

Johanna doesn’t know where this temple is exactly but thinks ist’s hidden in the city of Goodwind: it’s the only town in the area that, in 3 centuries, was never hit by a tornado, despite being in the middle of their path.
She is right. The temple is hidden under the mayor house, and the city maintains the ritual in exchange for protection from the storm gods.
The Mayor is Murray Vaughn, a simple man that knows what they're doing is dangerous, but wants to protect his community.
If the players come looking for the staff, he'll be very scared, and try to come up with a lie and downplay the danger of the storm, trying to convince them there is no cult and it's just the weather, like every other year. If the staff is in danger, he'll plea with the players to leave it there.
He's afraid that removing it would remove the only thing protecting the town. He is right, but doesn't know that the storms can be stopped entirely.
There are no cultists here, only civilians protecting their town. They will beg the players to not take away their only protection.
The players can try to trick, intimidate or convince the locals, they're regular people, not especially strong, evil or cunning.
If the players take too long or appear soft on the locals, Johanna, driven by her vengeful hate against tornadoes, will use force to get them to reveal the location, then storm in the temple alone and attack the locals.
If the players are in good standing with her, they can try to calm her down with the help of Harthur Paxton.
If they're not, she’ll have to be stopped by force. She will give up as soon as she reaches a third of her HP or is incapacitated.
The players can also help her. It is a fast and easy way to solve the issue.
Whatever happens, the hunters will rile up the town and start an angry mob to try stop her and the players.
If the players showed themselves to be reasonable and peaceful, they can calm down the mob. If they’ve been aggressive, they may be forced to fight.
During the chaos, an agent of the hunters, invisible, will try to snatch up the ritual item, the Staff of Wagner. Crafted from the arm of a long-dead archpriest, it holds a crystal globe in its hand, and inside the globe a swirling whirlpool of water.
Whatever happens here, this is intended as a roleplaying encounter: how the players interact and have interacted with Johanna will determine if she does something horrible she (and the players) will regret later, or if she manages to grow as a person, and give you a chance for some nice interaction between her and Paxton.
The Staff of Wegner
Requires attunement
The staff has only 3 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC: Control Water, Wall of water, Water Walk, Tidal Wave.
The cantrip Shape Water can be cast at will.
The staff allows its holder to breath underwater.
The staff regain 1 charge for every hour it is left under pouring rain, and needs to be kept moist at all times or stops working.

The third temple

Is hidden. It’s an invisible tower, revealed only when the Perfect Storm starts raging.
Knowing the position of the other 2, it can be triangulated on a map. The 3 temples form an equilateral triangle.
Edit - On a map, your players would have 2 possible locations to go to. Letting them choose at random is one option, but it could be frustrating, so here are a few ideas:

If they split in 2 groups, the one that arrives in the right location should be there just as the Hunters, giving them a chance to do some roleplay while they hold off the enemies until the rest of the party arrives
If they ask Johanna to show them the path of the other tornadoes, show them a clear "safe zone" around the location of the thing temple.
If they ask where the Perfect Storm is likely to appear, have it be in the middle of the triangle
Have the symbol of the cult be a triangle and put some hidden map in their second temple.

Thanks to user u/ffddb1d9a7 for pointing out the problem
If they don’t have a proper map or the players don’t want to do it, let Johanna or the Hunters do this part. If the players are in good standing with the town of Goodwind, have the mayor reveal the location instead, a reward for their decisions.
Remember that, the more time passes, the worst the storm becomes. Describe it accordingly: as they approach the third temples, there should be permanent overcast skies, tornadoes all over the horizon, a howling, wet wind carrying dirt and debris.
This time the hunters are already in the temple, fighting through the tower against the cultists. The players can kill them, leave them to die or try to help them.
If the players sided with the Hunters, it will be Johanna group that is already inside, fighting.
If Johanna is antagonistic with the players, she could lose faith in them and run away, trying to stop the Perfect Storm on her own.
If she’s friendly, you could make it so the storm is heading directly for the tower, and have her heroically run towards it to buy time.
Harthur Paxton will declare his love and follow her to (maybe) certain death.
The players can try to stop him, either by force or diplomacy. If they use force, they’ll have to tie him up, or he’ll run away at the first chance.
The last item, at the top of the tower, is The Heart of Gabriel. Crafted from the ribcage of a long-dead archpriest, it holds a crystal globe where the heart would be, and inside the globe swirls a crackling bolt of lighting.
The Heart of Gabriel
Requires attunement
The ribcage needs to be worn over the chest, in place of a set of armor. The globe disappears into the body of the wearer, a faint crackling sound accompanies each heartbeat.
When work, the ribcage offers resistance to lightning and thunder damage, +5ft movement speed and adds +1d4 lightning damage to all attacks. The wearer is immune to natural lightning and can cast Fly on themselves as an action once per long rest.
As an armor, it offers no more protection than a shirt.
Once all the rituals have been stopped, the storm subsides.
Conclusion
Depending on how the players interacted with Johanna, she could disappear forever with Hartur in the storm, or they could find the two barely alive, chained together to a deeply-rooted tree to not get dragged away.
If the hunters have been killed in large numbers, the group disbands. If the players saved them, they could convince them to renounce their life of greed, or ask for a slice of their future profits, and make a potentially useful ally for future adventures.
It’s possible the players joined them, asking for part of the treasure and abandoning Johanna entirely. In that case, the hunters will try to scam the players and skedaddle with as much treasure as they can.
If the players were fast, the area is mostly intact and will forever be grateful. If most towns were razed, it will eventually be settled by new people that know nothing of these sad events.
A romance? A romance between NPCs is not easy to do, and often not even wanted.
Feel free to downplay or skip it entirely, it is a risky move. If you want to try it, some suggestions.
Have the NPCs talk with the players, not between themselves. If they have issues, have them ask the players opinion. Have the NPCs talk between themselves only if it’s very short or funny. I don’t think you need to do it more than once, at the discussion in the second temple, and even then, it should happen side to side with the players.

Some statistics

A level 9 Cultist
Dressed in blue, gray or white robes, these cultists have a number of weather-themed spells and rely on powerful aoe, summoned elementals and home advantage to win.
HP: 40 (9d8), Str 9(-1), Dex 14(+2), Con 11, Int 17(+3), Wis 12(+1), Cha 11
AC 12, 15 with mage armor. Saving Throws: Int +6, Wis+4
Some thematic Spells: DC 14, +6 with spell attacks
Note: avoid using too many summoning spells, they slow down combat and make everything messy.
5st level: (1 or 2 slots) Cone of Cold, or Conjure Elemental, or Control Winds, or Maelstrom
4nd level: (3 slots): Conjure minor elemental, or Elemental Bane(cold or lightning), or Ice Storm, or Storm Sphere

Melee attack: wooden staff +5, reach 5ft, 1d4+2 bludgeoning. They use wooden weapons to avoid becoming lightning rods.
Ranged attack: crossbow +5, 60ft, 1d4+2 piercing.
Boss cultist
Give them more spells and some environmental effects: lightning bolts charge for one turn and fall the next, forcing the players to move. Powerful winds move people around the area. A tidal wave pushes the players away when they get in melee. A lightning shield wounds those that hit the boss.
A Hunter
Hunters shouldn’t fight to the death and avoid fighting at all if they have nothing to gain from it.
HP 100, Str 16(+3), Dex 16(+3), Con 16(+3), Int 15(+2), Wis 12(+1), Cha 10
AC 15, Studded Leather Saving throws: Dex +6, Con +6, Int +3

Ranged attack: Crossbow +7, 30ft, 1d6+4 + poison (take 2d6 damage, Con DC 16 to reduce in half)
A storm
Fighting a tornado ain’t easy. This is just one suggestion on how to do it

Approaching is slow, the wind makes it hard to walk, and the rain, sticks, dirt and pebble inflict 1d6 damages to unprotected players, none If they’re wearing heavy armor or have shields or heavy cloaks.
Arrived near the tornado, they have to attract its attention. One this roars at them and changes its path to attack them, the fight starts.
The tornado does one of two attacks each turns: It spawns air elementals or it throws an object. The tornado can’t be attacked directly, the players need to hold it off for a number of turns until its energy runs off.

I would suggest 5 rounds for a weak tornado, up to 8 or even more if they try to stop a more powerful one.
Spawn elementals: On the first turn, it spawns 1 or 2 elementals. Between turn 2 and 4, it can spawn 1d4+1 elementals, and after the 5th turn, it spawns a single, larger elemental, two sizes larger with increased HP and reach.
Throw: a small object (+10 to hit, 1d6 damage), a medium object (+8 to hit, 2d6 damage) or a large object (+4 to hit, 4d6 damage in a 6ft by 6ft area).
When the fight is mid-way, an especially strong wind blows the players down, they are pushed in one direction by 5ft and have to pass a Dexterity or Strength DC 10 check to not end up prone.
You can add variables to make the fight more interesting: there is a house nearby, and the tornado moves towards it as the fight progresses, or some of the elementals ignore the players and attack it.
There is some large rock or ground formation that offers protection from the thrown objects.
There is an alchemist lab or explosives deposit nearby, and after 3 turns, the tornado starts breaking it down and throwing explosive projectiles.
A tornado is crossing the players path, they can go around it and waste time or try to fight.
Johanna&friends
Johanna is a competent mage, you can use the same stats as a cultist but replace some of her spells with utility spells. You don’t want her to steal their spotlight, but if she buffs or protects them, they’ll like her.
5th level: (1 slot) Dominate Person, Wall of Force.
4th level: (3 slots): Confusion, Greater Invisibility, Stoneskin.
3rd level: (3 slots): Counterspell, Elemental Weapon, Haste, Protection from energy, Magic Circle.
Lower levels: Absorb elements.
The other members of the group are low-level mages or experts and should have only a few low-level utility spells.
The Perfect Storm
This Gargantuan+++ air elemental is many miles wide and impossible to fight. If the players attempt, The wind is so strong it’s guaranteed to knock them away before they get even remotely close to it.
At many miles away, rain and wind are already very strong. Have the players occasionally be pelted by rocks and branches while they travel to the last temple: 2d6 damage, Dexterity 15 to reduce it by half. Have objects of increasingly large size fly in the vicinity of the players, culminating with an entire house.
Did you know they’re making a remake of Twister? It’s probably gonna be terrible but oh well.
If your players really want to fight it mano-a-mano and are powerful enough, have it stay around after all 3 rituals have stopped, with reduced wind and thrown objects. Have it fight like a regular tornado with more powerful summons and, occasionally, direct smash attacks added to its regular ones.
Consider the Elder Tempest (Mordenkainen tome of foes page 200 for ideas for a more classic fight).

Stories from 12 years of Casino Industry

I was asked to make a post about some stories within the Casino grounds so I thought I'd share. I have many so I'll do my best to pick the better ones.
Some back information: I've been a Casino Dealer for 11 years, I've been a supervisor for five years, and I've been a Surveillance Operator for one year. I've worked at three properties, none of which are connected or owned by the same company. I've worked on : Government/Private/Native American owned casinos.

From Hero to Zero.

At my first Casino, I was one of the first group of people who were trained to deal Roulette . After 4 weeks of working 6PM-3AM then doing roulette training from 3AM-8AM (Not paid) , I actually really enjoyed the game and after about six months I became extremely quick at the number game and the pace of the action was steady with very low margin of errors. Young man walks in, cashes in for $500. He buys in for $2 chips and just loads the board. After a few spins and pretty decent hits, he then changes his chips from $2 to 5$ then to $10 and racks his winnings up to $10,000. It was then, five spins in a row, he loaded the board with some pretty gross bets, and every spin I would hit the ONE number with either NO CHIPS on it, or maybe 1 chip , He lost all $10,000 in a matter of minutes. He leaves , and I go on break. After my break I was going back to the same table and wouldn't you know it, the same young man walks in and cashes in another $500. He tells me he just sold his car outside and this is all that he had left. So we do the same deal, buys in for $2 chips, then slowly starts betting $5 chips, $10, $25...and he makes $10,000 AGAIN. Within the next 25 minutes it was straight agony. Every spin, same thing, he would bet $2500 in chips, and win only $250, $400, and after about a half hour he lost it all . Never saw the guy again.
2) Man down
At this property, we are 24 hours for table games. It's currently 5AM , and I'm dealing some $25 Blackjack to this guy. He's probably early thirties , heavy guy. He's sober as can be, but right away I can tell he's been losing. We know how much you've bought in for, how much your down, or up, and I could see he was down $2000+. After about twenty minutes of pure losing, his temper starts to flare.At this point I now have two other guests at my table. Drinking coffee, not saying a word, just losing their money. After losing hand, after hand, this guy looks me straight in the eye, seized up, starts shaking, he can't move. He tries to punch towards me and smashes his stack of chips all over the place and falls backwards to the floor. I call for security, we cannot touch him due to liability . I can't move from my table because, well, liability / casino cash property, all I can do is try to talk to him. As I'm doing so, these other two woman who are sitting at my table just look at me and one says "OK, dealer, cmon lets go " as she taps the table telling me to start dealing and forget about the guy having a stroke on the floor. As security takes him to the ambulance out front, I had to stay behind for a couple minutes and give a statement. I go on break. I come back, and 45 minutes later, he comes right back in with a oxygen tank and keeps gambling for the remainder of the morning.
3) You get a dildo, and YOU get a dildo!
On a late summer Saturday night, we had a large event for these massive muscle guys/strongman competition type thing. After their show, I'm at the roulette table , and five of these boys come over to play. They were absolutely hilarious. They were feeling pretty good, cashed in somewhat large amounts and I could tell this was going to be a fun time. After about a hour of dealing to these guys, it's almost midnight, everybody is pretty hammered , I spin the ball, and all five of these guys take out these god damn (what I can only tell was) two feet purple dildos from inside their pants, and wiping them around in the air. The ladies were just loving it, one of the dildos landed in the roulette wheel and we had to shut the table down to re-calibrate the wheel to make sure nothing had been changed. I just remember that night was so much damn fun, I couldn't believe what I was seeing and I would never forget it.
4) Full Moon
On this day, I was actually training dealers / supervising them on small games like Three Card poker. We opened the table at 10AM, and this older man came and sat down . He played all day. The jackpot was $21,000 and that was pretty high for this table. He played, and played and played. He's one of the players where you know he's wearing a diaper because he's been drinking coffee/pop all day and hasn't moved in eight hours. As the day went on, this man never moved from his chair. Getting closer to midnight, he was aggravated and said "I need to go have a smoke, I'm getting killed in here". He left, and the very next hand, the lady beside him was dealt the jackpot . He didn't say much, but you could just tell he just hated life at that very moment because had he not gotten up, it would of been his hand. The man calmly took his cane , his hat, jacket, coffee, and left. The next morning I found out when he did leave he drove his car straight through his bank and was arrested.
5) Slick Robber
I actually give props to people who can actually pull this off. This story may confuse you so I'll try and explain things as best as possible. A lot of casinos have machines as soon as you walk through the front doors. A man walks up to one of these machines and sticks in HIS $100 bill. He doesn't gamble it, instead he hits the cash out button and gets a $100 TITO ticket where he then takes the ticket to the ATM machine to get his $100. Now remember, his Original $100 is in the slot machine. He then takes the $100 from the ATM and goes back to the same machine, and repeats this process over a hundred times. Essentially he's taking money from the ATM, and loading up the Slot Machine . Now he knows he can't do it too much because if the slot machine gets full of money, the machine will shut down and the slow attendant will have to take all the cash out. So he deposits over $10,000 , then has a small crowbar, he cracks the machine open and makes a run out the front door. To my knowledge he was never caught . But damn, that was pretty smart .
EDIT:
6) Mental Health is a thing.
10PM man walks in to play some high limit BlackJack. This guy knows the game and played well. Dressed nice, drank juice/tea , a little bit of a attitude, cashed in over $10,000. When this man was half way down his buy in, he said something a long the lines of "If I don't win here tonight, I'm going to go set myself on fire." I wasn't sure if he was serious because when people are down, they tend to say a lot of nonsense. I actually left early that night, and from a third party was told he did exactly that in the parking lot. The next day it was clear something terrible had gone wrong in the parking lot .
EDIT:
7) Nothing good happens after midnight
After a busy Saturday night, I was dealing a mix of games, and during this story I was in the middle of Blackjack. I had one young kid (probably 19) sitting in the middle, one older male probably in his later 40's sitting beside him on his right, and I had a really nice couple in their 20's sitting together at the other side. This young kid wasn't playing just sort of watching, and ever time the old man won he would give this young guy some of his winnings. The older man, was a wine drinker, and he had black between all of his teeth, I'll never forget. He's a little drunk but nothing terrible. As the night goes on, the older man goes and uses the washroom, at which point the couple asked the young guy "Oh was that your dad?" and the young guy says "Hah, no I wish!". The couple and I just looked at each other. This old guy, was in complete control over this kid. Absolutely disgusting. The night ends, and I find out the couple called a few of their friends, and they all waited outside by this old mans truck and beat the living hell out of him. 40 years old, sleeping with a 19 year old, completely brain washed . Very weird.
8) That one co-worker where you just wish they would quit.
One of our co-workers, nice guy but had a very big ego and we as employees just sorta left him alone. One day he had enough of the atmosphere and quit. Now usually when you quit, you cannot come back until you paperwork is finalized. How ever, HR was in that day, and he was given the paperwork the very next day. He came in, cashed in $1000, and made $50,000 in about a hour at the Baccarat table. My manager, was extremely annoyed, because now this guy is just mocking the casino and having the time of his life (Thanks for the big tip by the way :) ) and so he decides to call it quits. He wants to ban himself and he wants $50,000 in cash. The casino says Nope, we are going to give you a cheque. Now here's the thing, most business people will take the cheque, how ever you CANT CASH the cheque until the following monday because it's on that day where the funds are available. The casino on the other hand will cash their own check in anytime , because they want you to play. So this guy pretty much said go to hell I want my cash, and he called the police. Police show up, and management promptly gave him the cash.I though it was absolutely hilarious .

9) No good deed goes un punished
I was dealing Three Card Poker, and the jackpot was around $17,000. This old man (a regular) was sitting there all day grinding it out. Super nice guy, always a pleasure to deal to. Well, after hours of playing, he stands up and says "Hey john!, can you come here for a minute?" so his buddy John comes over. He says to John "I need to go take a piss real quick, can you play my card until I get back?" John agrees . John takes the chips and I stop him and explain he can't play his friends chips, he needs to cash in and play his own. And he does. Welp, second hand out and bam, doesn't he win it. The old man comes back and is so happy, he can't believe it. John, took his $17,000, didn't say a word to his "buddy" and walked away. I never felt so much hatred in all my life. Didn't give him a dollar, not a thank you, nothing. The old man sits back down again, the progressive resets to $2500, and he sat there grinding away again.
10) The Top Knot
I had this player , young guy, who was born into a fortune. One of his relatives passed away and left him a pretty big sizable amount of money, so he played poker every single day for the rest of his days. I will add, he IS a good player. I did not enjoy his company just because of the "Know-it-All" attitude, but he was good. We'll call him John. John is 5'10, and well build, with muscle. John also decided today was the day to show off his Top Knot. (google top knot if you're not sure what I mean) So he sits down, and he's absolutely KILLING the table. Every hand, after hand, after hand. And because he's in such a good mood, he's playing any two cards, calling any $500 bet, and he's just dominating. This one guy at the table decided he had enough. He got up, without saying a word and left. A moment later, he comes back in, walks behind John, and takes a pair of scissors , and cuts off his Top Knot. I for one couldn't believe it, dying laughing inside, and it just turned into one big brawl. That was a good day.
11) That one bad seed
One of my best friends who I haven't seen in YEARS ended up being part of the crew. Was kind of nice to catch up. We never really got along as we grew up because he has a very high picture of himself . He wanted that 10/10 woman. A mansion, and a new Corvette. So every month or so we would all go up to the other casino to play. I myself would bring no more than $500, but I couldn't understand how this guy (we'll call him Kyle) was spending THOUSANDS of dollars at the tables. So this wen on for a few months. Well, one day, as we're closing the casino, he and I are in the High Limit room and we're getting ready to close the tables. We are told to take the chips out, count them, put them back, sign this piece of paper and that's it. Well as the supervisor was locking the tray, the piece of paper fell to the floor, so she asked Kyle to grab the piece of paper. As he bends over, a great big $500 chip falls right out of his sock. Kyle was fired immediately , but it all made sense. They offered Kyle a deal where if he replaced all the stolen chips they would not make it public. Not sure how that turned out.
12) If I ever decide to write a book, this will be the last chapter: <3
After working at my first Casino for five years, I met a Indian woman who was visiting from another part of the country. During this time I was explaining a game to her, which honestly I don't think she even cared. She explained she was visiting and sight seeing , and that was that.Well, two years later I ended up moving to the other side of the country and transferred casinos, and low and behold she worked there as a Dealer. We got married , and it's been 5 years.
13) The Tip
One of our tables that we've had for a couple years had a progressive jackpot that had reached $100,000. The dealer at the table was sitting pretty lonely. Nobody really played the game because people knew it was extremely difficult to win the jackpot. My memory is a tad foggy, but you somehow needed to flop the royal flush. This young guy sits down and says to the dealer, we'll call him John. "John, if you pay me that jackpot, I will tip you $10,000" Well John started dealing, and about a half hour into his shift, he F*cking did it. He dealt him the royal. And you know something?This young lad, kept his word, and he made sure there was a audience, and he tipped exactly $10,000. That was a moment right there. That pay cheque was real nice. I think we all got about $500 more than usual. The moment that jackpot was awarded they got rid of the table because the money it was making was not near what the casino wanted. I'm sure there have been bigger tips at other casinos, but that was something special .
14) The Lawsuit
Now this story I'm going to have to beat around the bush a bit due to the nature of what happened. I can't won't answer any questions that you may have on this topic other than what I have to say because it had a lot of publicity . The waitresses at this casino had to wear very thin sexy clothes. Not borderline legal, but it was noticed. One day they called all the waitresses to come in and explained they were changing their outfit to something even more sexier. Now these new dresses were very very borderline legal . The staff said No way. We're not wearing that.So , friday night comes, and the staff work their whole shift, then at the end of their shift were called into a meeting and were all fired. Welp, one of those ladies father was a pretty big time lawyer. Brough the casino to court and won. They won big. Good for them. We had no waitresses for a couple days haha.
Thanks for reading along, I have many more I can add as the day goes on, those were just some off the top of my head. Feel free to ask any questions of the Casino industry. I don't really have many stories about the surveillance department because that's the one area where I can't really say a whole lot due to its privacy and contracts I was and still am under.

I mined my first Ethereum nickel (0.05 ETH)! Here’s my journey and some lessons learned

There are lot of new to mining folks here, I’m one of them. Here is my journey and some of the lessons I learned

Why did I go here?

When Bitcoin hit $40k I finally decided that cryptocurrency isn’t going to go away. And if it’s not going to go away I should look into it. The sad thing is that in the early early days of bitcoin I had played with getting a miner going. I even got to the point where it was happily mining away on my computer. But then I had to get back to work and when my computer rebooted I never started it up again. What a loss!
I should also call out, the EtherMining guide is really good. If you are starting your mining journey it’s very helpful

The Wallet

I made the investment in a Ledger wallet. I’ve seen the reddit post that made it to all about poor souls that lost huge amount because of some hack or thievery. If I’m going crypto I’m controlling the keys. I did some research and determined that Leger or Trezor are the best cold wallets. After which I read on Ledger’s site that you shouldn’t mine directly to ledger because it can’t handle a large amount of small transitions (more on this later). Did some google and went with Mew for my mining software wallet figuring I’ll transfer to ledger after.
Here I learned about the magic 20 words or a Mnemonic phrase. Unlike banks, Ledger and Mew don’t hold your account. They are simply devices. If Mew is installed on your phone and if you lose your phone you’re screwed and you can lose all your holdings. Unless you can rebuild your wallet with the Mnemonic phrase that is. Alright, good stuff. I have mine and a safe wallet

And Ethereum?

Of course first I looked into mining bitcoin again. What? You need an ASIC miner these days? Holy shit they cost how much? Alright, who’s number 2. When you start researching about Ethereum it’s pretty freaking cool. This thing could overtake Bitcoin someday and you can mine it with a GPU. Hey I have one of those!

The card

I have a 2070 super which I got shortly after they were released for under $500. I’ve been using it for video games and it’s great. Who knew there would be a run on GPUs and the cards worth more than I paid for it!

The Pool

I quickly learn that solo mining is a fool’s game with Ethereum, you need a pool. I went with Sparkpool simply because it was the largest. As the new guy I don’t need to be trying out the newest pool, I want stability. I also wanted to stay anonymous, turns out all you need is a deposit address. Nice

The miner

Fees to use a miner? The heck? I’m not afraid of a CLI, let’s go with the free one. I download the latest Ethminer. Now we hit the first real challenge as the example configurations were all over the place. After some trial and error I settle on a .bat that does;
ethminer.exe -P stratum1+tcp://

[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]):3333

We’re mining!

On Sparkpool you can search by your wallet address. After ~10min, there I am. Cool! I’m mining! Change the sleep settings on Windows and I’m mining while I sleep. Now when can I get my earnings? Let’s see they pay out at 0.1 ETH….. Let’s do some math…. Yeah that’s not happening for a long time. Ahh, they pay out on the 28th of the month even if you don’t make 0.1. Just got to wait. And this is where I was for a few weeks

On to Upgrading

I’m mining, what a fun start. I’m not in a position to put together a rig though. Maybe there’s some reasonable changes I can make

The Miner

Let’s start easy, the miner. I see post on EtherMining that Phoenixminer is just the best (I’ve since read the same thing for about 3 different miners). Ok, I don’t like the idea of a fee but I have stats at Sparkpool, let’s see what it does to the average. Around this time I found the guide on EtherMining and learned about adding commands to my .bat file for etherminer or phoenixminer as well. My .bats now start with
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
Turns out I do get a bit better results with Phoeixminer. Nothing amazing but it is better. And the reporting in the CMD prompt is better. I can see information on my card and hashrate. Cool!
I also finally take the time to find my electricity bill to see what I’m paying. My cost per kWh is 0.09, lucky me! Plug that into mining calculators online, I’m ok. At least I’m not losing money.

How about a 3070?

Alright, this is fun and all, but what if we can could do more. My computer has some more PCIe slots. How much could I make with a Nvidia 3xxx? Turns out betterhash let’s you know. You can plug in any card there and get a hash estimate. Turns out I could make over $100 month with a 3070. At $600 the card would pay for itself in 6 months!
….There are no freaking cards for sale. Anywhere. What the heck. How late am I too this game? And the ones that are available, they want $980 for a 3070? I look deep. I make the half hour trip to Micro Center and get told to try coming in at 8am every day and I might get lucky. Not looking good.
Finally I recall I used to order stuff from CDW at my old IT job. I hit pay dirt! They have a 3070! It’s expensive but it’s not $900. Card ordered! (Since then, they’ve been out of stock. I got lucky)

Upgrade issue #1

I need to make room for the 3070. My 2070 Super is a 3 fan and it’s long. There’s not room in the 2nd PCIe slot in my case for the long card. I end up moving everything around and break off some plastic from the hardrive cage, I got it in!
I have a 3rd PCIE, can I put a card there? Not unless it’s super thin, the power supply is right under it. Looks like I’m limited to 2 cards for now.

Upgrade issues #2

My new 3070 is extra wide (PHY uprising edition if you care). The fans literally sit on the 2070. And with both cards in there my computer is hot! My computer feels like a heater right now. Let’s google on how to deal with heat. I learn about and download MSI Afterburner. Pretty cool tool! Not only can you see the temperature you can adjust a lot of settings on your GPU. I spin up my miner and start MSI afterburner. Ok, the 2070 is doing fine, let’s see how the 3070 is doing.. 90 degrees, ok, ok. Wait it’s Celsius, holy crap! What the heck! That’s 194 degrees F! It’s gotta be that wide ass 3070 making the fans sit on the 2nd card. The cooling air it’s sucking up is coming straight from the 2070…
I switch the cards (why did I break my hardrive cage?). Now the 2070 is back in the first slot which is not ideal, I liked the idea of using the 3070 for video games.. Spin up my miner, we are doing better. Both cards are in the mid 70s Celsius. That’s fine right? Do some googling… Crap, no it’s still too hot…
Time to upgrade the fans in the computer. Another half hour trip to Micro Center, I get a 140 and 120 size fan. I also get a fan controller because I noted that I only had 1 free fan plug in on my motherboard. The fan controller ends up fitting perfectly in a hardrive slot, like it was made for it. Fortunately I overbought my PSU and I have plenty of power slots for adding one offs like a fan controller.
Alright, I’ve filled every Fan spot on my case, there are 5 fans going…. And there blowing wrong…. After redoing everything because I messed up the fan directions…. (Remember kids, air should flow front to back and heat rises) Let’s try again!
Spin up the miners…. I’m under 70 degrees Celsius! Progress, progress. But high 60’s is still in the danger zone. Here is where I find some nice post in EtherMining on MSI afterburner settings. Raising my fan speed to almost 80, cutting my power to somewhere in the 70s, raising the memory clock to +500. Now I’m at 63 c! And my hash rate went up as a bonus!

Here I am and where I’m going

If you’ve made it this far, it’s been a learning journey for me. There are some things I can still do better at but I think I have the basics of Ethermining down. I’m happy with where I’ve gotten. I’ve also learned a ton about crypto currency.
Going forward, I might change from Sparkpool but I’m still on the fence. From EtherMining I know everyone and their mother is going to Flexpool. But I’m a small player (~100 MH/s) and waiting for 0.2 ETH for payout would take a long time which is risk. And I’m not sure what the PPLNs type plan would net me.
I’m also considering using the address for my ledger for my proceeds. It’s going to go there anyway and I would like to avoid fees from moving my coin around. I know ledger cautions about large amounts of small transactions but with a pool the payout is only once a month so I don’t think it applies. If the ledger can’t handle 12 deposits a year then I need to find something else anyway.
You know, I might have gone big but with staking being the future of Ethereum, the rising difficulty level of mining, not really having a place to put a rig or honestly the funds for one, I think I’m going to stay a small player and just see if I can eventually pay back this 3070 I bought. In the end it’s been a ton of fun and added excitement to the monotony of being quarantined to a house all day. Thank you for the forum post and the new hobby!

The Ultimate Canon World Of Assassination Mission Order (Probably)

This will get a little wordy so I’d like to take the time to inform you that there is a concise list at the bottom that just has the mission order with no extra annotations.

If you’re anything like me then you’re a real sucker for sticking to the canonical routing of games like Hitman, problem being Hitman doesn’t exactly have one to speak of outside of the main campaign. Fortunately, IO have given us many hints as to the true order of thing such as NPC dialogue and background news reports and for the last couple weeks on and off I have been scouring the games and wiki for every last bit of information regarding the canonical goings on of the World of Assassination trilogy. So today I present a detailed look at the best canonical order I can put forth forward of the launch of Hitman III, upon launch I will likely revisit this if anything comes fawned from the new maps the may contradict this order. So without further ado, I present My Canon World Of Assassination Mission Order.
Prologue
All missions in the prologue likely take place over maybe a week or so. Simple stuff here, just don’t forget this after the mission “Training” in Hitman: Codename 47 but before any other mission in the Hitman series if you’re planning on playing everything the series has to offer chronologically at any point.
Arrival
Guided Training
Freeform Training
The Final Test
Pre-Campaign Contracts
Apart from the “The Icon” and “The Landslide” (which canonically take place several years apart in that order and before the main H|1 campaign) these can be shuffled around in any order. I figure that all of these contracts make the most sense on the timeline between Blood Money and Absolution or between Absolution and WOA trilogy. My placement of these bar previous mention are mostly to provide the most interesting and varied gameplay experience before starting the main campaigns as they have no real set position on the timeline. If you wish you could also slot some of these in between “The Showstopper” and “Club 27” and they’d still make relative sense.
The Icon
Illusions of Grandeur
The Pen And The Sword
Embrace of The Serpent
A Silver Tongue
A Bitter Pill
Now for avery long note on “A Silver Tongue” and “A Bitter Pill”

I recommend skipping if you don’t want to indulge yourself in my problems with IO’s bonus level creation.

I have a lot of issues placing these as “A Silver Tongue” takes place at The Global Innovation Race where of course “The Finish Line” does, I had a lot of back and forth on deciding if it made sense for “A Silver Tongue” to come just before “The Finish Line”and “A Bitter Pill” to come just after but it makes very little sense as the house the target of “A Bitter Pill” occupies was until just before “A New Life” occupied by a Providence Herald that was there prior to Cassidy, but was poisoned by Helen West. I really couldn’t find a good place for this despite hours of thinking so I decided thusly;
The Global Innovation Race that “A Silver Tongue” plays out in is not the one featured in “The Finish Line”, but one from years prior and thus the murder of Frank Schmidt haven’t taken place yet and in fact he didn’t even live at the location at the time as the target of “A Bitter Pill” did.
I must apologise but that’s the only explanation I can come up with at this point. I’d like to proceed into a rant about how bonus mission are just resold elusive targets but I with simply leave it as this is the one where I most felt that, the others at least had a reasonable sense of believability but “A Bitter Pill”, and “A Silver Tongue” by extension, just doesn’t.
Now to continue with the placements, sorry for the long explanative rant.
Crime and Punishment
The Landslide
A House Built on Sand
HITMAN I Campaign And Patient Zero
Hitman 1’s campaign has a pretty easy going start but as mentioned you could slide some contracts from the pre-campaign section at your leisure.
The Showstopper
World Of Tomorrow
A Guided Cage
Club 27
The Source
After the death of Jordan cross, what was left of The Class likely left The Himmapan Hotel within 1–2 weeks as in the mission “The Source”, the staff of The Himmapan are still in the process of cleaning up the band’s penthouse and accompanying floor with many The Class branded containers as well as a few members of the band’s security detail and recording crew still strewn about the area so it’s likely they are preparing to leave. The ground floor is also still being fumigated showing not long has passed.
Freedom Fighters
Situs Inversus
These two make most sense back to back as the ICA wouldn’t want to delay the elimination of the traitorous Soders.
The Author
The Vector
Patient Zero
Pretty concise timeline here, 47 flies between these three destinations straight away.
The Last Yardbird
This mission makes the most sense to be here as it’s the second time we see 47 wield his Seiger 300 Ghost. It is also referenced in a news report in “The Nightcall” that Interpol had arrested the former head of The Yardbirds, Aleksander Kovak, in Panama City while he was attempting to convert fifty million dollars into bitcoin and that he's currently the prime suspect in a triple murder at a wedding in Austria.
HITMAN II Campaign There’s not a very specific time frame between Hitman and Hitman 2’s campaign but after “The Nightcall” I feel there’s very little space for anything else to happen, thus I have decided to not have any thing interrupt the main campaign of Hitman 2, this would likely make for a better playing experience too.
The Nightcall
The Finish Line
Three-Headed Serpent
Chasing A Ghost
Another Life
The Ark Society
Golden Handshake
The Last Resort
HITMAN III Campaign
And of course onto Hitman III which directly follows the events of Hitman 2
As mentioned previously if anything major comes to contradict this listing, I’ll be sure to retroactively adjust it when able.
On Top Of The World
Death In The Family
Apex Predator
End Of An Era
The Farewell
Untouchable
And that’s everything featured in the World of Assassination trilogy!
I didn’t include the holiday missions or Elusive Targets as they make less sense than the MLM missions and if you’ve read this thing you know my problems with that.
And now for the people you don’t like to read my rambling, I present the concise TL:DR listing.
Arrival
Guided Training
Freeform Training
The Final Test
The Icon
Illusions of Grandeur
The Pen And The Sword
Embrace of The Serpent
Crime and Punishment
The Landslide
A House Built on Sand
The Showstopper
World Of Tomorrow
A Guided Cage
Club 27
The Source
Freedom Fighters
Situs Inversus
The Author
The Vector
Patient Zero
The Last Yardbird
The Nightcall
The Finish Line
Three-Headed Serpent
Chasing A Ghost
Another Life
The Ark Society
Golden Handshake
The Last Resort
On Top Of The World
Death In The Family
Apex Predator
End Of An Era
The Farewell
Untouchable
Well you’ve reached the end, I must thank you for reading this mess of time line.
If you have any suggestions or comments on how this could be improved, disagree on how I’ve placed something or just want to call me a idiot for trying to string together mission that might not even be canon, feel free to deposit you thoughts below.

How to Maximize Profit - IMPORTANT - READ THIS

For the majority of these offers you want to play blackjack following the chart found here
Any blackjack game will do, look for a normal version of the game at the site you are playing on and make sure it is a non live game as the hand sizes will be lower.
When playing blackjack there will often be more than one spot that you can bet on, allowing the player to bet more than one hand at a time, Its important to only bet on one spot at a time as it reduces the variance of the game and will ensure you get the maximum return possible from the game, stick to £1 hand sizes when playing and dont be tempted to bet larger amounts as you will be getting a nice amount of cashback from every offer
Through playing blackjack this way the player will get a return of around 98%, meaning for every £100 staked you will lose around £2. If you make a loss on a casino site after completing the required wagering amount, withdraw your remaining balance, don't chase loses as the cashback will make up for loses and give you a profit in most cases.
All offers are updated fairly regularly, make sure to check the terms for each offer as information in this post may become outdated. Also check for other offers every now and then as new casinos are added!

Version 1.0.5 - Tasks is now out!

TPP Fused Crystal Summary: Day 7

Previously on Fused Crystal, we got all of the available badges and ran into an insurmountable problem with a Machine Part and a Waterfall. Y had a bad time and we got some new teammates, so now all seems right with the world. Where to now…?

We start the day inside Tohjo Falls where we'd been badger hunting, but stepping out on the Kanto side reveals a Trainer! Cooltrainer Megan was so cool she had a Ho-cune that obliterated our team. No wonder she said not many people seem to come that way, the road to the League will surely be filled with other powerful challengers. Worse trouble is, it didn't checkpoint Y in New Bark Town, so we got flung all the way back to Blackthorn City. Oops
After puttering around for a while to make our way back, we get the nerve to try again, and we won! ….With only half the team still standing. XD But Y is a smart kid and decides not to push his luck. Besides, didn't the professor say something about a present?
Y heals up using the machine in Elm's lab and goes to see what it was Elm wanted to talk to him about. Honestly, he just wanted the kid to know he's been such a huge help and his research is going great! And maybe just to help him out in return, he gives Mister Y a Focus Band as thanks. <3 Y wasn't expecting that, and his bag is full, so he just sort of… stares at it. Elm seems to understand though and says he'll hang onto it until the skater is ready.
Heading back out Route 27, we get past Megan, the gatekeeper of the falls, and begin challenging the other Trainers that line the path to Victory Road. Of these, we find another Cooltrainer and, because we deleted Jack and Wade when Y was having a bad time, we get Reena's number! She admits she likes him and wants him to be a new training partner. She's always up for a rematch especially since Y winning this time was totally a fluke. Yeah. Kappa
Reena wasn't lying when she said not to underestimate the Wild Pokemon here and she was right! We found a Snoractyl in the grass and it looks like this bane of our journey is common out here! There's a Rest House out here too though. With the team all back in top condition means we also have a nice training spot. Swiss Suzie evolved into Baytortal! \o/
We get to the awaited gate, make our way to the entrance of Victory Road, and come face to face with true terror! "You need ALL the badges of Johto and Kanto to enter." Nooooooo! D8 Oh but what's this? The door to the east is unguarded meaning we can go to Kanto from here! What glory, what joy! To be able to reach the last three leaders without the need to face Snoractyl!
Y decides to checkpoint at the Pokemon Center and head southward in order to challenge Blaine first. This seems to be thrown out just outside of Pallet Town and we turn back north to challenge Brock.
Healed and ready to go, Y goes to the Gym and we find out quickly we are yet again over powered by an overpowered Leader. Brock greets us by saying he doesn't get very many Trainers from Johto and explains how the Rock-type is impervious to most physical attacks. And frankly we know very well if he actually had the Rock-type, we'd be dead on arrival since he has five Pokemon all in their 50s. Note, Tess, our highest, is only at level 51 and the lone Gym Trainer we fought before this was at 48 and only had one.
Fight, fight, fight! Starting off it's a Lv 53 Tangekrow against our Lv 47 Togetape. The beaked mass is faster, spraying Feb with a Stun Spore to paralyze him, but he still manages to pull off a Fly to put the bird in red health. Tangekrow didn't seem to like that much though as it now Slams down on him, then tries again as he goes for Fly once more. A bit risky with the paralysis, but he nails it!
Next out is Pidgeonaw! Not only is it a huge jump from Lv 53 to 57, using Agility to build itself faster, but smart too! As Feb goes for Fly, the reptilian bird uses Mirror Move, soaring upward as well to dodge Feb's attack then use his own Fly against him! D8 Feb is maaad now, using Fly again to avoid a Hydro Pump and lands a crit to crush the Pideonaw! But it managed to survive in red health and finishes off the monkey-faced bird with a Hydro Pump! Overkill! He's down! We send in Bii to finish the job but as he goes to use Strength, Brock decides to ruin things with a Hyper Potion. Exchanging Strength for Hydro Pump a few rounds, these displays of physical power seem to be going nowhere. Pideonaw switches to Mirror Move to throw Strength at us, but Bii switches to Mega Drain for the knockout!
Next up is Rapidgon2! Oh… dang. Bii tries to use Mega Drain again, but the Fire type merely shook it off and used Agility to get ahead. That looks bad, so we switch in WWW the Dratsprout to take the fall to Tri Attack as we switch to… Bii. Well that was useless XD The speedy robotic stallion goes in on Fury Attack, getting three strikes to bring Bii down to orange. Bii tries again for a Mega Drain, doing minimal damage, and gets lucky as another Fury Attack still only brings him down to low red. Time to switch to Strength before being torn apart by Tri Attack!
We bring in Tess who surprisingly still outsped and narrowly dodges ~~doom~~ a Zap Cannon to try a Rock Smash! ...For being Super Effective, that sure did a whole lotta nothing. XD Fury Attack also missed, and then didn't do much when it hit, so Tess just keeps whittling away at it with Rock Smash. It's down!
Out next is a Jolteckle! Being part Rock-type, Tess succeeded to lower it's defense with Rock Smash, only to be obliterated by Thunder! D8 We only have IRS left, and he unfortunately gets paralyzed by Thunder Wave before getting to use Strength. A couple more Strength attempts just isn't enough as a pair of Thunder strikes ends the challenge. Blackout!
Seeing as we didn't even see his last Pokemon, some serious training might be in order. We head for Pallet Town since the Wild Pokemon there are about the same level as Swiss but we find to our dismay there is no healing place in town. We stopped by Blue's house to find Daisy keeping watch while her brother is out of town so often it's become a nuisance. We find Oak who said we've about 20 Pokemon left to see and a hundred more to catch to complete the Dex. Going to the only other house in town, the kind woman there tells Y that her son, Red, hasn't been home for a long time… but no news is good news, so she's hopeful. Y heads upstairs to check out Red's room, but no sleeping in the bed. Guess it's time to move on.
Surfing down to Cinnabar, we find the city is encased under a mountain with only the Pokemon Center surviving. But Y quickly realizes he's not alone and goes to meet the fellow teen nearby. The guy introduces himself as Blue, a former Champion before Red did him in. Still, his troubles seem so small in the grand scheme of things. Just look at this island. Nature so much as twitches and an entire town vanishes. When faced with that, human problems seem so small. But… he is only human and seeing another, clearly strong Trainer wakes up the competitor in him. He'll return to the gym for Y to battle against. Thanks, man! <3
But while we're here, Y heard there was another leader we had to fight. All healed up, it's time to cruise for Seafoam Island, reduced to nothing more than a few mounds of dirt, and enter the cave to find… Blaine! The crazy old coot cries how he's now homeless and his gym is gone because of the volcano. Waaaah! But he is still a Leader and promises to give Y a shiny new badge if he can beat him. This kid better have Burn Heal!
Here we go, it's Feb versus Hauntchoke! At Lv 50. Guess the game really did expect us to come here first. XD Feb goes first, throwing Strength at it only for us to realize it's a Ghost-type. That doesn't stop it from trying to hurt us with Vital Throw, but Feb's Flying-typing makes it not very effective. As such, Feb shows off by one-shorting it with Fly!
Next out is Weezomoth! Feb still having the advantage, gets to avoid a Sleep Powder using Fly! But he missed!! Weezomoth seemed to be hoping for that as it throws a Sleep Powder at him on the landing. Feb just can't seem to wake up as the moth mutant fills the room with a Haze and whittles him down with Psybeam! The second strike is a crit! He's down!
Next out is Tess who comes in swinging as she strikes it with a Rock Smash! But the Poison typing makes for not much damage. At least she lowered its defense before being put to sleep like her fellow bird. The Weezomoth didn't take to that too well as it suddenly uses Explosion to take them both out! D8
Out now is IRS versus Lanticate! The ratfish turns out to be faster, but it's aim is poor as it misses a Hydro Pump. IRS goes all in on Strength, throwing a couple of rocks as the Lanticate literally takes a chunk out of his health with Super Dang. But another Hydro Pump misses! Blaine tosses in a Max Potion as we continue to throw rocks in high hopes. It's in red. Hydro Pump hits! We're down!
But not out. With only Bii left to fight (well WWW is there too but let's be real) victory is just within our grasp if he can just hold on. No heal. We're faster. Mega Drain hits! It's finished! \o/ Blaine seems pretty sour as he admits he's burned out. Y can have the Marsh Badge! It's said to really help bring out a Trainer's firepower. The old man swears to us that one day he's going to rebuild his gym. You'll see! YOU'LL ALL SEE!
We start to leave when we realize we're not alone in the room. A stranger appeared while the match was going on and Y turns back to find out who he was. It's the Gym Guide! He didn't know where to find the battle since the gym had been destroyed, but the match was over and we won handily. He knew Y was too smart to need his help.
Okay so this isn't important it's just funny. We ended up leaving the gym with only Bii and WWW in our party when we came across a large dragon-hybrid Charazam! Naturally, Chat wanted to catch it, but after the first ball, it torched Bii with a Flamethrower! WutFace The game asked if we wanted to Run and we said no, making some in the party pretty mad because if we died at this point, we'd lose 8,000 poke bucks which we need for Poke Balls since we only have about 30 left. Chat decides "the worm" is too low leveled to successfully run away so we might as well throw balls at it since there's a 45 catch rate chance we'll survive. A menu struggle begins to fight between the pack and running when the pack wins out. And Charazam uses Scary Face. Then Recover. Then Future Sight. Chat is eager and worried that we could still do this if it won't attack, but we're also on a timer before Future Sight hits. We caught it! ….We're COMPLETELY stumped that it worked, but we did it! Now Fly, you fools!! WAHAHA
We wander Saffron a bit before heading to Vermillion where Y decides to go house exploring until he stumbles across the Poke Fan Club. A little chat with some of the members and suddenly he's finding himself listening to the President's whole life story. Yeesh… But even the man seems to know he tends to go on for far too long and thanks the ice skater for being such a good listener by rewarding him with a Master Ball! ...Wait, what?! 8O
Naturally, Chat begins buzzing with ideas to get rid of it as quickly as possible and seems to decide the best choice of action is to go after Lugia thanks to Clair's Silver Wing. Navigating the pitch black of Whirl Islands, we find a large creature in its depths… It's Ho-Cune! Prophecy fulfilled, it's in the Master Ball! ...Though at LV 19, it's staying in the PC XD Since we spent all our money on balls back in Olivine, we decide to badger hunt until we pass out.
Deciding blackout will take too long due to our levels, we manage to navigate out and Fly to Cherrygrove to say hi to the Guide Gent, then to Goldenrod to check up on PG4 and Tazz in the Daycare. Guess some of what Blue said has sunk in and we're just taking some time to appreciate the small things. Like fishing and returning to areas we haven't fully explored.
We found the all mighty Suitwo in the fields of Route 43! Someone call Eusine! And tell him it ate all our Poke Balls! 😂
While exploring around the Lake of Rage, our pack continues to give us problems as we found a Max Potion, met Wesley of Wednesday who tried to give us a Black Belt, and a hermit in a house who tried to give us some Black Glasses. None of which we can carry. There's a bit of a debate as we toss or use a few items to make room and then make the rounds again. This area being so remote, we wouldn't want to come back after all and Wesley is on a time limit.
We also make a stop to go skating in Pryce's gym before saying hi to the man himself. He reminds Y that someday the snow will have to melt into spring. But he's sure Y and his Pokemon will be together for years to come. Cherish it, okay?
At last, it's been teased long enough, Y FINALLY gets the nerve to explore Mt Mortar. We check the main route where a ladder leads to the top of the waterfall, a wide river that spans most of the inner mountain. He stands there without moving for quite some time and Chat starts to wonder if he's contemplating on jumping with a few calling out to him not to do it. (Personally, it gives such a sense of a view that I'm sure it would be mesmerising to watch in real life. Buuuut considering what happened last time we came here, some PTSD is not out of the question.) Back out the door, we move to the cave's "secret" entrance that allows us to Surf right up to the falls and climb it to search the mountain's darker depths.
What's this? An item? Could it be? The secret treasure that has long since eluded us and cost us so much on our journey? It's… IT'S… TM05 Roar! WAHAHA
We run into a Super Nerd who mistakes us for his friend Markus. #YoMarus and #FreeMarkus quickly start trending as we all really want to know who that could be. Upon defeat, Super Nerd Hugh explains that he and his buddy came to explore Mt Mortar, but the guy has gone missing. If Mister Y doesn't mind, could he keep a lookout for a Trainer with a Slowbuto that knows Strength?
Burn Heal… Hyper Potion… Full Restore… A Berry??? Quick Claw… Iron… Max Potion… Max Repel… Max Revive… As someone in the chat put it, this place is quite the Cave of Wonders, huh? But unlike Aladdin and his Magic Lamp, Y has no trouble stuffing as much as he can into his pack! XD
We spot a Black Belt at a dead end and immediately wonder if it's Markus. Much to the Voices' disappointment, it's not. 'Tis the Karate King! The old martial arts master we heard from the Saffron Dojo had gone away on a journey of enlightenment. The King tells us himself he had trained here in the darkness for some time, and now that a Trainer had arrived he wished to battle!! We beat him with Feb and he quickly realizes his Training is not enough. But he offers to give Y a rare Fighting-type Pokemon if he ever returns with an open slot in his party. For now? No thanks.
Going back the way we came, Y spies the curious outline of a boulder. And he's looking for someone with Strength… Might see if he can still find Markus.
TM13 Ice Beam... Escape Rope… Max Ether…Potion… Doesn't look like it's in this cavern after all, meaning we never needed Waterfall in the first place. Or at least not before the League. Time to head outside, and explore the third entrance and see how far it goes.
...TM40 Defense Curl… Nugget… Machine Part… … … MACHINE PART?! What do you know, we found it!!! 8O Y immediately tries to call the Guide Gent to signal his success only to be reminded there is no reception inside a cave. We dig through our bag for the Escape Rope and Fly the heck out of Mortar!
Calling him again, the old man seems quite pleased and tells us he had a curious encounter. A Fisherman came to his house crying that a loud man stole his Fishing Rod so he made him some tea to make him feel better. But goodness the thief couldn't have gone far, could he? We Fly to Cherrygrove to help in the search but eventually give up due to the hint being perhaps too obscure.
We also realize we never found Markus and #RIPMarkus starts trending. XD
After our long attempts at cave training, it seems it's high time we went back to try Brock again. The Voices have a brief talk among themselves about the fate of WWW as we've had him at the back of the line since he joined after nearly a day, and all our adventures, our Worm had only grown two levels. If Y planned to keep him, he NEEDS to be trained. Y seems to understand and moves the dragon up to the front in place of Swiss to begin switch grinding.
We make our way back to Brock and the second attempt begins! It's Worm versus Tangekrow but not for long as we switch in for Feb! He comes right into a Slam attack, and tried to retaliate with a Cross-Chop only to miss! Tangekrow seems to laugh at our misery as it goes for a Stun Spore just when Y was considering moving to Fly. Payback is sweet though as it gets to go first and misses Slam but Feb comes at it with a successful Cross-Chop! It's super effective, it's down!
Next out is Pideonaw! It's still faster than Feb and love him with a Hydro Pump before we go for Fly, dodging a Screech, and then getting the strike! Brock calls for Mirror Move though, allowing him to steal our Fly and dodge Feb's attempt at Strength! Fly hits, Feb is out! Next we bring out Tess, who also has Fly. You think we would learn our lesson the first time as Tess goes up, so does Pidgeonaw, and as it dodges our Fly we get struck by theirs. Hey… Next round, Tess goes for Fly and the opposing bird goes for Hydro Pump, taking the hit and going for Screech on the landing! A great maneuver on Brock's part as Tess thought to finish them off with a simple Peck and the Gym Leader throws in a Hyper Potion. Now with her defenses down, we go to Peck again only to have Mirror Move show his bird is stronger! Tess tries to even the field by lowering Pidgeonaw's defense with Rock Smash but gets put into red by a Hydro Pump. Barely hanging on, it's time to Fly, dodging another Hydro Pump and earning the K.O.!
Out next is Rapidgon2, but Tess is still the faster of the two as she flies again to avoid a Tri Attack only to be knocked out on the landing with a crit. We send in IRS who managed to dodge a Zap Cannon and land a Rock Throw with ease! The fuzzy snake isn't so lucky the next time as Zap Cannon hits to take out half his health in one go, but we get some relief to know it won't happen again as Rock Throw takes the mechanical horse down!
We finally get to see what Brock's final Pokemon was and it's… another Tangekrow! Jebaited It proves to be faster, using Growth to raise its Special Attack as IRS switches over to Strength. Slam misses as another Strength brings it down to red. Another Slam hits but it doesn't do much, we're paralyzed so it strikes again! This time Strength hits, it's down!
But now it's time for Jolteckle, the fiend who beat us last time. Thunder strikes, taking out IRS before we even get to attack! (D8) with the little ones still in tow, our only real chance is with Bii. Counting on it's Rock-typing weakness, we go for Mega Drain; which while super effective, doesn't do nearly as much damage as we might have hoped. Thunder Wave misses as we Mega Drain again, but then T-Wave hits to paralyze our plant puff! Now faster than Bii, Jolteckle goes for the big guns with back to back Thunder strikes, Bii being fully paralyzed can't defend himself! He's down! We send in Swiss but another successful Thunder renders her useless! All hope seems lost as we send in Worm, Thunder misses, Poison Powder lands! Can we hold out? No! Thunder strikes again! Blackout!
It feels we got really close but made a few bad plays so Y us determined he can win this. We head straight back and begin Round 3! Starting off its WWW versus Tangekrow, but we switch in for Feb! While we walked right into a Slam, the Togetape shakes it off as he goes for Fly! We avoid Stun Spore hoping to one-shot the tangled mess, but it just barely holds on and tries Stun Spore again; but Feb won't take it! We use Fly again to dodge a Slam and get a (pointless) crit to finish the job!
Next out is Pidgeonaw! We worried that it was faster than Feb, but it turns out that was because our monkey-bird was paralyzed from the Tangekrow. Feb goes for Strength only to be countered by Mirror Move! Feb then switches to Fly, which again, you'd think we'd know better as Mirror Move allows Pidgeonaw to avoid our strike then come down hard with Fly to send Feb reeling! We send in Tess and take another chance on Fly, dodging one Hydro Pump, but coming down into another. Brock throws in the Hyper Potion, as expected, which gives us time to get in another Fly, strike, and take off again before he tries for another Hydro Pump! It's down in low red but drops a Screech on Tess before we knock it down with a Peck! Fail!
Next up is Rapidgon2, so we switch in for IRS to tank a Tri Attack! We exchange blow for blow, Surf for Zap Cannon, until on the third strike Zap Cannon missed! But IRS is fully paralyzed! With both opponents only a hit away from falling, it's crucial who will land first. Zap Cannon missed- Surf hit!! It's good!
The second Tangekrow comes out, and is faster due to the paralysis. A single Slam, though not effective, is just enough to take down our snake. Tess returns though to wipe that smug bird out with a single Fly! ... But it didn't. Still hanging on, the bush-bird tries to trip her up with Stun Spore but SURPRISE she has a Przcureberry to counter that! Another Fly to avoid Slam and it's down!
Only one Pokemon left, the dreaded Jolteckle. Tess goes for Fly but is nearly struck down by Thunder still being able to hit! And Fly barely makes a dent in it to add salt to injury. Thunder strikes again and you can say goodbye to our Orb and Saviour. ;o; Once again, it's up to Bii to save the day as he comes rushing in with Mega Drain! Thunder hits! Mega Drain crits!! Jolteckle decides not to take any chances and goes for the Thunder Wave which works as Bii can't move! A single Mega Drain ought to finish it off when- IT HAS REST?!?! WutFace
That actually changes everything and Y realizes that if he wants to win he needs to slow down and play it smart. While the Jolteckle is sleeping, we move to use Leech Seed, hit Cut, then end up fully paralyzed instead. Jebaited Jolteckle wakes up and immediately goes back to Thunder when our Leech Seed finally hits! The tables have turned in our favor as Thunder misses and Mega Drain hits, leaving the fuzzy turtle in low health. But it uses Rest again! >O
Chat starts to debate if it would be better to keep using Mega Drain or use something less damaging to try to make it waste all of the Rest it has before we go in on the full offensive. RNG seems to decide it best Bii doesn't get to move at all due to paralysis twice. We eventually decide to continue with Mega Drain as the slight upside is we probably have more PP than he does for Rest due to our not attacking. Buuut he's not either while he sleeps so the debate continues. At least Leech Seed is doing something. We try Strength and wonder if it's within Mega Drain's range and try to switch back. It woke up! Thunder missed!! Leech Seed brings it into red as Mega Drain strikes! It's down!!! VICTORY! \o/
Brock is impressed Y managed to get past his defenses and gives us the Cascade Badge! He admits that while he did enjoy battling with Mister Y, he is a little upset about losing. Still, the Cascade Badge should make Y even stronger as he moves forward.
Well on the note of moving forward, with that done, Y still has some unfinished business. We Fly over to Cerulean and walk the rest of the way to the Power Plant so we can finally deliver the Machine Part. It's probably worse for wear as opposed to the piece they had stolen, but the owner is thankful nonetheless and gave us TM12 Sweet Scent! ….Thanks TriHard As we prepare to leave, the security guard comes over, saying he just got a call about a Shady Character in Cerulean. Maybe we should check it out. Slow...poke
Time to head back to Johto and find a good place to train Worm, we stopped in Olivine Mart to sell nearly our entire bag (the Berserk Gene and Focus Band we went back for included) then flew to Goldenrod to buy Poke Balls because they're cheaper. Y decides to explore the basement of the store and realizes the door to the underground maze is still there. ...And it's still occupied. He follows the noise to find the Radio Tower Director still cowering behind some boxes as he pleaded with Y to save the tower! Who knows what Team Rocket plans to do with a signal that can reach nation-wide! But… if he's still here… then who gave us the Coin Case? WHO IS RUNNING THE TOWER?!? O_____O
A single Voice leads Y to the PC while no one is interrupting and deposits Worm. Then goes up north to see that the Kenya side quest gives us a Chardabra! DansGame If they didn't want to grind before, this is worse as we now traded in our level 18 for a level 4. A PC struggle breaks out as Y shreds the mail that was supposed to be delivered, throws Kenya into the PC, and kicks out a Golemnitar for good measure before pulling out a Nineswine and storming out.
And then goes all the way Y to Celadon just to play the slots. Dang this kid does not take well to PC shenanigans. XD
We take a bit of a detour with the change of shift. As we only lack the Mind Badge, we ride down Cycling Road to see if Janine might have something to say, but back down only part-way through the Gym. Off to Viridian City then we battle the Gym Ledge and inside is…! Nothing? It's possible the place has been under construction, as there's no maze or puzzle or gimmick yet the walls are uneven by what the Voices call "Lego Blocks." Blue awaits us at the back of the building.
The Leader explains he wasn't really in the mood for a battle back at Cinnabar, but seeing Y again has awakened his eagerness. … … … They stare each other down in determination before Blue notices something. Does Mister Y seriously have ALL OF THE BADGES? Heh, Johto must have not been much of a challenge then. Well come on, Johto Champ, he'll find out just how strong Y really is!
Fight fight fight! Starting off it's Feb versus… a Nineswine! Guess we're not so different after all. XD Feb goes on the all offensive with Strength as the fluffy boar starts with Mist before going in on Fury Attack! That was pathetic, it's down!
Out next is Rapidgon2! Not again… Feb switches over to Cross-Chop, but the steed is faster as it lands a Zap Cannon! We're fully paralyzed! Another cannon strikes and we're down! IRS comes in swinging with Slam as Blue falsely predicted our defenses against Fury Attack! Another Slam! Zap Cannon hits and paralyzes again! IRS pulls through to just keep swinging as Zap Cannon finally missed! Slam prevails, it's down!
Blue sends in for a Gengchamp making our Slam somewhat useless. But it doesn't matter since he goes first with a successful Cross-Chop of his own. It's x4 super effective! Our snake is out cold! Tess comes in with her own super effective attack with a Peck! It's something of a good thing too since Gengchamp hits her with a Confuse Ray that would make Fly somewhat risky. She can't stop hurting herself though as she gets pounded by Cross-Chop! She's out! Time to send in Bii who goes for Mega Drain but quickly gets zapped by Confuse Ray! To shake it off, we sacrifice NNNNN the Nineswine to a Cross-Chop and thank him for his service. Swiss comes in, but it's no good as she gets one-shotted by the brute, leaving only Bii to take on all four left of Blue's team. This. Is. Bad. Bii goes for Leech Seed before getting smacked with Confuse Ray again. We switch over to Mega Drain as Gengchamp starts pounding him with Vital Throw but Leech Seed wins out to finish it off!
Blue brings in the big guns as he sends in an Artikou! D8 The Voices start to panic over being faced with such a hideous bird monster we don't even get the chance to fight. A single Ice Beam and it's all over! Blackout!
We debate on if there's anything to do besides Blue and check on the League again. Still no luck. Guess there's not, so time to do 20 laps around the gym before getting inside only to be CRUSHED. Due to the Ledge, it seems unlikely we can use Blue as a sparring partner to gain levels for the team.
(Though I can't say enough how it kills me we still have several side quests we can do including Mt. Moon rival battle if I remember right and Diglett Tunnel we've completely ignored after being spoiled by having two Fly users.)
Crushed again on Round 3, the Voices begin contemplating the PC again. After attempting to switch boxes, we end up stuck on Box 1, run outside, and start saving. Somehow this causes the boxes to switch?
With everything in order, we march into the Pokemon Center, deposit NNNNN into the PC and JKILT HAS RETURNED!!! ;o; Oh it's been too long and Y proves he never wants to lose him again by immediately attaching some Surf Mail. The Quagynx has some catching up to do as we approach a full day of adventures he's missed out on, but the team is certain he's the key to defeating the dreaded griffin of Viridian.
An NPC tells us that Blue doesn't have Trainers since he wants to be able to win without any underlings. While good in practice, that just makes him sound like even more of a terrible Gym Leader since the point of a gym is for people to generally go and learn from an expert. Not to mention, is he really a "leader" at that point if he has no followers? But whatever, it's time to grind as we prepare to beat his butt so we can finally be on our way!

We spend the rest of the day training with JKilt off the coast of Cinnabar since there's a surprising number of Fire-types in the water. How long may it be before we finally breach the gates of Victory Road? And just who awaits us atop the sacred Mount Silver? Hopefully we'll learn all that and more, next time!

New Era of Online Crypto Casinos

I would say that I'm relatively new to Reddit and the one thing that surprised me is the number of people that still play on Bovada, Ignition, Betonline, MyBookie, etc. Don't get me wrong, great sites for sports betting and poker, but absolutely horrendous when it comes to slots and live casino games.
Hitting 1,000x on a slot on Bovada is like a once in a lifetime achievement and the live dealer provider is... awful.
Over the past month or so, I have seen this Reddit flooded with random users promoting a bunch of shitty no-name crypto casinos that have been around for like 3 days. So I figured it was my duty, as somebody who has no ownership interests in any of these online crypto casinos, to share my thoughts regarding the ones that I believe are trustworthy. All of which is based on first-hand experience and countless hours of research.
First off, for those who aren't familiar with crypto casinos, the one thing that you need to know, as an American, is that you'll need to access these sites via a VPN. Personally, I use ExpressVPN and connect to Canada (or various other regions depending on which slot provider is available). The nice thing about ExpressVPN is that you can download the app and play on your phone. All of the casinos listed below allow VPN usage. Apparently NordVPN is pretty good too, but I cannot vouch for them personally.
Second thing, KYC is not required. Honestly haven't looked into this too much, but I can tell you from first-hand experience that KYC is not required in order to register or withdraw funds. All you have to do is confirm your email address. Some people have said you get KYC'd if you try to withdraw more than $2k, but again, I can confirm that it's not true (specifically for the casinos listed below). Just make sure that you only deposit/withdraw via crypto and you'll be fine. If you think this is sketchy, then please, continue making your credit card deposits at Bovada to random shell companies based out of China.
Also, DO NOT USE COINBASE TO TRANSFER TO AND FROM THE CASINO. They banned me. It hurt. Don't make the same mistake. I recommend using BRD as an intermediary between Coinbase and the casino. Since being banned from Coinbase, I have been using crypto.com to buy and sell crypto. Nothing but good things to say thus far.
Finally, I have wagered roughly $3.5MM in total across the sites below and have spent countless hours researching them, so I'd like to think that I somewhat know what I'm talking about. In no way am I an expert and in no way am I a high roller or a whale. Just a regular guy that enjoys gambling.
Now the common theme amongst the below casinos is that you have access to game providers such as Evolution (live games), Pragmatic, NetEnt, Thunderkick, Push, etc. that you'll never find on the casinos advertised as available to US players (such as Bovada). As I'm sure you know, Betsoft slots can get old after a while.
Just a few of my personal favorite games that I recommend you check out...
Live Games: Crazy Time, Monopoly, Evolution Blackjack and Evolution Speed Baccarat
Slots: Dead or Alive 2, Money Train 2, Lil' Devil, Sweet Bonanza and The Dog House

Site #1: Roobet.com (Best for casual gamblers)
What I like: Instant withdrawals, huge selection of slots and live games, generous rakeback system, instant bitcoin deposits (they will credit your account before receiving any confirmations-- this is really nice), every so often they'll run a 24 hour promotion where if you hit 100x on slot betting at least $1 you'll be "King Roo" (basically King of the Hill) and accumulate ~$20 per minute until you're dethroned
What I don't like: Rakeback system only allows you to collect every 24 hrs/1 week/1 month, no clarity surrounding VIP status (assuming you need to be a whale), there was one instance where I won $36k on a $40 bet playing Reactoonz and was told I can only withdraw $10k per day (this was 6 months ago and never had an issue withdrawing since), lack of sports betting
My largest withdrawal (at once): $9.9k
Deposit/Withdrawal Methods: BTC, ETH
Referral link to enable rakeback system without having to wager a shitload: https://roobet.com/?ref=hkgambler13 (you can also use code "hkgambler13")

Site #2: Stake.com (Best for medium-high rollers)
What I like: Instant withdrawals, huge selection of slots and live games, incredible VIP and rakeback system (weekly/monthly bonuses, rakeback can be claimed whenever, daily/monthly challenges to earn extra cash), active and friendly chat community, multiple crytpo deposit options where your account is credited in that currency (meaning your balance equivalent in USD will swing with the market-- could be seen as a con), enjoyable "Stake Original" games that have a higher RTP than 3rd party slots, averages ~2k users online at any given time
What I don't like: Can be overwhelming for first time players (Roobet is much more straight forward and easy to use)
My largest withdrawal: $13.2k
Deposit/Withdrawal Methods: BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, BCH, XRP (highly recommend-- cheap transfer fee, if any at all, and confirmed within seconds), TRX, EOS
Referral link to instantly enable 10% rakeback: https://stake.com/?c=6c2f1c60

Site #3: Gamdom.com (Best for gamers)
What I like: Instant withdrawals, huge selection of slots and live games, newly implemented rakeback system, constant "rains" in the chat (which is free money if you join in time), ability to instantly deposit and withdraw via Rust and TF2 items (could spend an hour talking about this-- generally caters to those who cannot get crypto or have to use a CC to buy crypto), averages ~1.5k users online at any given time
What I don't like: Prior to the newly implemented rakeback system rains and level-up chests were the only "rakeback", your balance is denominated in coins (1500 coins = $1 USD), browsing through their slot selection can be a pain in the ass
My largest withdrawal (at once): $7.4k
Deposit/Withdrawal Methods: BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC
Referral link to receive a free chest that could be worth up to ~$53: https://gamdom.com/chase (you can also use code "chase")

Final parting words: PLEASE DO NOT GAMBLE WITH MONEY THAT YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE. Gambling is not a money making method and you will lose in the long run. The purpose of my post is to make those aware that other trustworthy online casinos are available for Americans that will (hopefully) make gambling online a bit more enjoyable!

New to online Slots? - Starter guide/tips for newbies playing online slots

Okay so I decided to create this guide with the hopes of it becoming a sticky thread for all newbies to the online slots world, to read as we deal with the same topics repeatedly and the same answers/advice are given repeatedly. Not that we do not want to help, but these would prevent you from getting into situations before its too late, or blaming casinos when you were in the wrong.
Signing up or Registration
Registration – Please carefully read the general terms and conditions about every "Right" the casino has and please note that you accepted these terms upon signing up, which means you are saying you are okay with it and agree with what the casino state about what they can and cannot do.

No Deposit bonuses/Signup bonus – Many players are still NDB (No Deposit Bonus) hunters and register simply for these reasons. Please read the NDB/Signup Bonus terms carefully to make sure your country is eligible to receive the NDB/Signup bonus. We had many players getting upset about this factor and then end up closing their accounts immediately out of anger which leads to SE (Self Exclusion) at times. which I will address later in this thread. However, we do have instances where a casino does not list the eligible countries that can or cannot receive the NDB/Signup bonuses.
More than one player in 1 house Hold – Many casinos only allow one player per house/IP address to register at a casino. You can ask a casino if you and your partnesibling who stays together can both signup and some casinos would give the "Ok". Just make sure you have this in written confirmation via email or something and not live chat.

Claiming Bonuses
Read the bonus terms carefully before claiming any bonuses and look for the following pointers when reading the bonuses rules:

Wagering – Many casinos have increased their wagering on bonuses lately which makes bonus wagering very difficult to complete these days. Decide whether the wagering attach to the bonus is high or low for you since you know your game play and strategies. Many factors can influence whether you will be able to meet wagering, which is the x amount of wagering, game providers availability and deposit amount just to name a few. Also note that wagering for "certain countries" are higher than others. For me personally I think wagering between x35 – x50 on the "Bonus" amount "Only" is reasonable and fair.
Max Bet – 99% of casinos have a max bet rule in place when claiming a bonus. Note what the max bet is for the specific casinos as it can range anything from 1 – 5 euro/$ per Spin. Deposit methods can affect the max bet as well as some casinos limit the max bet rule between 1 – 2 euro per spin for deposits using e-wallets, however that same casinos allow a max bet up to 5 euro per spin for credit card/Alternative deposits. Even though a casino state the max bet rule another tricky rule in the terms that we tend to miss is the coin value. Some casinos state that the max "Coin domination/value" should be $0.20 or $0.50 per spin which means if you want to bet higher you would need to adjust the "Level" portion in the slot if the coin domination/value limit is reached according to the terms. If you breach the Max bet rule and it is stated in their terms, you do not have a case, period. There are some casinos who you can explain your situation if it was a mistake and they do sometimes make exceptions.
Deposit methods – Many casinos lately have restricted the claiming of bonuses using e-wallet deposit methods such as Neteller, Skrill etc. Note they mention these 2 as they are most popular, but that also means any other form of e-wallets are not eligible to claim bonuses. I have seen a lot of players complain that they did not receive the bonus simply because they did not read the terms before claiming the bonus and the deposit has already been made. Also make sure you deposit using your own card, do not use your parents or any other siblings credit card to make deposits as this would cause a problem during verification which in the end results in to winnings not being paid out.
Deposit Methods Additional Info – Many deposits are available from Casinos or let's say most casinos have the same deposit methods available, however the country that you reside in has the influence on what deposit methods are available and the same counts for withdrawals. So, for instance if AskGamblers website state deposit by phone which is "Boku" is available at that specific casino it does not mean that it will be available for all players, as that is depending on your country. Deposit by phone is mostly available for the UK players basically as an example.
Max Cash-Out – Many players claim bonuses and after they complete wager, they tend to withdraw immediately. Some players are left with substantial amounts only to find out they can only get x2 the bonus amount (Casinos like "Viks" casino and "Quasar Gaming" have this rule) or x10 their deposit. I understand this is frustrating and upsetting, but the problem is with the player itself. Stop blaming casinos because you could not do the simplest thing in the world which is just take 5 minutes to read the bonus terms.
Restricted games – Please check which games are allowed and not allowed to be played with bonus funds. Some casinos have a feature where bonus money is not even visible on the restricted games, but other casinos bonus money will show on restricted games. In many instances these would not lead to confiscation of winnings, it just that it would not count towards wagering. They also have a term where they would say that bets place on all "Other" games other that "Slot machines" will be deemed in violation of the terms and condition and your bonus winnings will be voided – So watch out for this one.
Double up feature – The only thing to say here is that this will not counts towards wagering.
Cashable and Non-Cashable bonuses – This one is another tricky one, some people call it a "Sticky bonus". This just means where you receive the bonus you can use it to place bets and for wagering purposes, but the bonus amount can never be withdrawn. I find this term ridiculous and always avoid this type of bonuses.
Bonus Abuse – This is a very complex/broad subject but mention the basic ones (Thanks for forum members tips which I included on this one), the rest you can do your own research about the rest associated with bonus abuse as we all have different opinions
Bonus per player, per account, per IP address etc. If you take that same bonus twice or more times, using different accounts under your name, then it's an abuse.
Claiming free spins offers – Deposit to get free spins and withdrawing deposit after claiming free spins but continue to play free spins is also some form of bonus abuse.
Accumulating bonus rounds and start playing them when your bonus balance reach zero, and you win those money as real cash.
Anything you can think of that disadvantages the house (Casino).
Bonus wagering period – This never really is a problem, but just make sure you complete you bonus wagering with the set time frame the casino provided. This can range anything from 3 – 30 days otherwise winnings will be voided.

There are other bonus terms that I have not mentioned but I think the above ones are the most important as these could affect you in terms of confiscation of your winnings should you breach any of them.
Verification
This is pretty much standard for a casino to ask for some form of Identification, proof of address and proof of deposit when requesting a withdrawal. Depending on the amount win, some casinos might not need documents, however when a substantial amount has been won additional verification or security checks might be done which means a longer withdrawal time frame. Verification or KYC is necessary, however I feel when casinos ask for selfies with your ID next to you etc. in my opinion is just ridiculous. Also, I have noticed some casinos requesting your source of income to see where you get the money to make deposits etc. This seems standard and you would need to do it to get your withdrawal, however all of us have different opinions about this verification procedure.
Withdrawals
Many casinos have different withdrawal time frames and when you accept the general terms and conditions you have to a abide by them, by this I mean stop being impatient and complain that the casinos withdrawal time frames are the worst etc. As you knew this before you started playing provided you have read the terms and condition. You decided to deposit and play so then wait for your money, eventually it will come unless you breached some rule, or the casino is a rogue casino.
Here are some of the tips you should note when it comes to withdrawals at casinos:

Verification – This is standard procedure and you have to do this if the casino request it.
Time-frames – This one I feel can be interpreted in many ways but let me give you my version of how I View things. When a casino says e-wallets 0 – 1 or 0 – 24 hours. This means that the casinos use that time-frame to process your withdrawal and after it being processed your money should be instantly available. Credit cards that state 3 – 7 business days and this is where some newbies get this wrong – This simply state the time frame they take to process the payment to your card, it does not mean you will get your money within 3 – 7 days, however this is possible. Prepare yourself for the longest waiting period to avoid becoming impatient and upset – So if a casino says 3 – 7 days expect to get it in 10 days max, however you can get it within 4 days, but sometimes casinos just stretch it to process it on the last day possible with the hopes you would reverse the withdrawal and continue to play. This technique of casinos sometimes works. So, if they process your withdrawal it can take another 3 – 5 days to hit your account based on your location and the banks in your country as they have internal controls with foreign currency. There are however hiccups with payment providers/processors etc. but these are at times out of the casinos control. My best is advice is "Patience".
Reversing Withdrawals – With the timeframes explanation I just gave above and being impatient, players tend to reverse their withdrawals. They continue playing and end up losing their winnings. Stop blaming casinos as this is your own fault that you Lost the funds. You made the decision to reverse the withdrawal. If you really need to play, make a deposit at another casino or sister website and play there while you patiently wait for you withdrawal. Some casinos have the lock feature, so lock down your withdrawal so you do not reverse the withdrawal or play at other casinos which has quicker withdrawal time frames of 0 – 1 hour instead of days. The key here is "Patience".

Self-Exclusion
Self-Exclusion is a big thing these days and most cases substantial amounts are involved that are being confiscated. There are at times very little that us forum members or even AskGamblers can do when a player self-excluded and played at a sister website or similar, as we know the result and of course the house is kind of right. However, I think it's bad that a casino only realizes the self-exclusion portion on a player profile once it reaches withdrawal stage, because I feel they should have something in place that can detect that you self-excluded upon registration or before you even make your first deposit. People with gambling problems tend to self-exclude but the alternative is to read this guide - https://www.askgamblers.com/forum/topic/2152-sos-i-am-addicted-to-gambling-what-to-do/ . My advice is to keep your casino account open and do not play there anymore, because even if you request a permanent account closure, some casinos tend to self-exclude you without you knowing it and this would cause problems in future since you opened another account at their sister website or something.

My experience applying for BTO as a first timer single

In the recent Aug 2020 BTO sales launch, I decided to apply for a 2 Room BTO as a single. I am detailing the process here in hope of helping other similar first timers trying to apply for a BTO flat. I thought a guide would be useful. Some of these may look like common sense but bear with me la.
Before applying, things to take note:

Check on your eligibility to apply via the HDB website. The whole application process is outlined in the site. But there were still a few times I wished I had more guidance on the process. Single Citizen Scheme is only applicable for 2 room BTO in non mature estates.
First timer singles applying for BTO flats need to pay $15K in addition to the flat price. The flat price may also be much higher than what is stated during the sales launch by anything from 10-30K depending on the unit your choose. Higher floors come at a premium, corner flats come at a premium, unblocked flats come at a premium and ofc bigger flats (47sqm vs 39sqm) cost about 20K more than the smaller ones which I feel is a bit wasteful for a hallway. But I'm quite giam siap lah lol. When you add 15K to it, that's quite a huge difference from the advertised sales launch price. That kind of price usually is for the low level (Eg level 4) 39 square metre flats that are blocked & corridor unit. Do your homework and work out your finances (what kind of loan, if any, you need) before you start applying to save a lot of grief. Of course there is the EHG grant but if you're earning a decent salary it's probably just a meagre figure that won't help much. The grants for family nucleus is much more attractive for obvious reasons.
Keep your old pay slips. You need the past 12 months pay slips or income letter, also your CPF contribution history and previous year CPF Yearly Statement, but these can be obtained online.
I repeat again, do your homework. At first I had this stupid mentality that everything will work out on its own but that's not gonna do you any favours. This is a major purchase. Choose your flat before the appointment, work out your finances, keep your documents, apply early and you won't have as many nasty surprises/disappointments.
Sales Launch

BTO Sales is launched. You are given one week to apply for the flat. ~~I recommend applying as soon as you can because I think the ballot number is based on order of application.~~ At this point you should start preparing your HDB Housing Loan Eligibility letter (HLE) from HDB, or Approval in Principle (AIP) from the bank, whichever institution you decide to loan from. I can't advise on this because I'm using neither. I don't like borrowing money heh.

Ballot results

Wait for results. After about two weeks, the ballot results will be out. If you sign up for the SMS alert they may or may not alert you via SMS (Or be late about it). You can check the HDB portal periodically for the status, or if you check daily thread people will usually post about their ballot number being too high/quite small. Apparently this is like tioing TOTO. My first time round applying it was Sales of balance flats and I failed to get any number. This time my ballot number was three digits, a little bigger than the number of flats available, so I'm quite lucky I guess. Even if your number is like 20 more than the ballot number, you might still have a chance because the numbers before your might cancel their application.
This is where I got a little confused. I excitedly went into the HDB portal, clicked on my ballot number and there was a button for open booking of flats. It stated that "there are no available flats left for singles left". So of course I thought I no longer had a chance in booking a flat but...

Invitation to book your flat

You receive an invitation to book your flat. Mucho confusion. I thought no more flats for singles left? During the days up to the appointment date so many wild thoughts were running through my mind because of the earlier message. But I decided to chalk it up as a glitch in the system and went ahead and prepared the documents. Even now, after I have booked my flat I still have this innate fear that it wouldn't be approved because of this.
You have to download the application form, annexes, HLE or AIP, required documents, EHG application form, Appointment letter (You need this for gaining access to HDB sales office during Covid period. I'm not sure about before or after Covid). Just print out everything la better be safe than sorry. This is where your pay slips for past 12 months come into play cos you need them for grant application. Try to clear your date and time for the appointment because you can't change it. Alternatively, you can ask somebody else to go in your stead but why would you entrust that to someone else, unless it's your SO or someone with a good grasp on what you want.
My SIL and bro drove me to the site before the appointment date so that I could make an informed choice on which is the ideal unit among those left. I highly recommend visiting the site before your appointment. Study the site map and unit placements to choose your unit. As my ballot number was greater than the available flats, the good units (no blocked view, corner unit, higher floor) were all taken liao so left with some that had shortcomings, but what to do. I didn't want to waste my chance. You can check the units that are still available on your HDB web portal, when you click on "application status" there will be a "Flats available" option.
Edit: (courtesy of u/brownriver12's input: have a list of flats ready in case yours really gets potong jalaned.

i think like check the night before (when selection has closed for the day), then make up to 30 choices, depends on what time is your appointment slot. also once you reach the counter, yell your unit so the hdb officer can 'chope' the unit while she processes your documents.

Go for the appointment

Go for your appointment. And bring all those documents your printed. Check and double check the night before. I put mine in a folder. Do not be late for your appointment lest your flat choice be potong jalaned by someone else. If you miss the appointment time they'll give your slot to the next person in the ballot queue. Then you gg might have to wait until 12noon or something. While you are waiting, there will be displays on monitors at the waiting area mounted on the pillars, and you can see for yourself what are the flats slowly getting booked by other applicants. Don't think it really helps with the jitters leh. Really macam betting TOTO or at the stock exchange. LMAO.

Pay option fee, submit documents etc

eEdit: When you reach the counter, yell out your unit number so that the officer can chope your unit immediately to prevent someone else getting to it. Because there are other people booking flats concurrently. (contributed by u/brownriver12) The HDB officer will process your documents and ask you to sign a bunch of stuff, explain your flat price, assorted legal fees and your financing options. Pay close attention to what she or he i saying. You'll have to pay an option fee of $500, which will be refunded when you make the down payment. During this process my heart was pounding and I almost teared up because it is a poignant moment when I'm making one of the major decisions in my life.
Your grant application will be approved in one to two month's time and the appointment to sign the lease agreement about ~~two or three~~ four months time.
Aaaand this is where I'm at right now, waiting for the results with mixed feelings. Did I make the right decision? Too late, I've already done the deed. So now I have about two years, give or take, to plan and save for my renovation and furniture. Argh.
Please note that all the forms I stated above are correct at present time. But the government may decide to change the grant (last year got more grants for singles!) again so check again ok?
Edit: some formatting issues and added some details.
Please excuse any inaccuracies because I'm just basing this on what I (don't) know/remember.
Edit 2 (31 Dec 2020): I went to check on the status a week or so ago and my EHG grant got approved! Now waiting for the appointment.
Edit 3:Went for signing of lease agreement on Tuesday, 2nd Feb 2021. This appointment not as strict as selection flats. You can reschedule the appointment if you can't make it (Which I did cos i had flu symptoms the day before and thought i should see a doctor and get swabbed. That's another story for another day..) Your flat isn't going anywhere.
Bring your ic and mobile phone wth singpass 2FA setup. Aso have your bank account number ready so that they can refund you the deposit. You can choose between refunding to your bank account or cpf. Ofc choose bank account la otherwise i won't be able to touch it at all.
At this point you're supposed to pay 10% down payment. Either through your cpf or cashier's order if not enough. Your appointment letter will explain what you need to bring. Think that % if you're taking bank loan is different. The hdb officer should have explained to you when you selected the flat so pay attention.
The officer will tell you estimated date of key collection. Mine is about two years later Jan 2023. Then after appointment go eat Jollibee at novena one station away.
Yay!!! Time to look for reno ideas. See y'all in two year's time. I'll probably make a new post if I'm still around.
