In Thursday's episode they discussed that casinos have a "code" so that the eye in the sky can determine if a drink is alcoholic or not.
The code is based on the straw in the drink.
Anybody know the "code".
I've never noticed it maybe because (LOL) I've never ordered a non-alcoholic drink at a casino.
Gambling With An Edge-The Riddle Of The Cocktail Straw
Order a Gin based drink.
Pour most of it out in the bathroom and fill it up with water.
That throws 'em off for me!
They have codes based on the glass and other inside
'secrets', even using different napkins and other things.
Drinking gamblers make them more money, right?
So regardless of Harrah's and other Casino ads and
policy about them not wanting you to gamble over
your head or when you are intoxicated or upset,
they actually want you to be any or all of them.

Thanks Mike--I just KNEW there was a reason they couldn't figure me out! If I start off with a "real" drink I'll usually follow it up with diet cokes before I have another. But I keep my original straw for all the drinks since I already went thru the process of thoroughly wiping it down, after watching how the bartenders grab those straws with their unwashed hands by the tips that our mouths go on.

Can only speak from my personal experience, when I order an alcoholic beverage I get a small mixing straw in the glass and when ordering a coke or ginger ale I get a large drinking straw. But that's pretty common anywhere.
