Top Ten Casino Annoyances...

Depending on my mood, I somethimes like the noise, the louder the better. That's what a casino sounds like. What I can't stand is trying to concentrate of VP and listening to loud mouths at the crap table ( or other tables) when they probably only won $20.00.

I was playing a table game near the most obnoxious WMS machine I've ever
heard in my entire life. It was set to about 150 decibels and every time the
player got any sort of win, ear-piercing noise played, causing me intense
physical pain. Not about to leave my table game, because I'm a degenerate
gambler, I silently prayed to God that the player would go broke soon (I
hate rooting against other players though) so I would get relief from the
horrible noise. After about 5 minutes, I noticed I didn't hear the sound
anymore. I turned around to confirm that he was gone and not just talking on
his cell phone or something. Instead, I saw he hit the top award! He was
waiting for a $2,500 hand pay. He took his money and left the machine. No
one else played the entire time I was at the table. Win/win.

I think I've memorized a few of Dean Martin's songs with the annoying
help of some machines.

I actually enjoy hearing the craps players. Makes me smile. But when the other noise gets too loud that's when my iPod comes out.

Don't forget the slot machine in the next row that is loudly shouting

I agree!! On many occasions I have left a Blackjack table because
of screamers. They usually are betting only the table minimum, and emit some piercing noises when the dealer busts.
