What’s more we can organize to meet in a proper online casino or we can upgrade the game to mobile status, meaning that we all log on from our cell phones and play mobile poker. The last time we tried this it ended in disaster when Moe from the Fifth Avenue Retirement Center claimed he was holding a major flush when he lost the call. We all tried to cheer him up immediately and have spent six months since then wondering if he really had a flush and whether he was online at the time. Moe has hallucinations from time to time.   

I don’t. I am still in the real world and I just dream a little, like winning the Lotto or hitting the big one in an online casino. I’ve been playing blackjack lately because I needed to win and blackjack gives one the best chance, as I see it. At least I get a chance to make some of the decisions in this game. The important decisions, that is, like whether to stand or take a hit, whether to split or double. These are decisions that will help me win or make me lose, so why shouldn’t I make them? In roulette the only thing you have to do is decide the size of the bet.

Blackjack is also a respectable mobile gambling game and I spend many mornings in my favorite coffee shop, The Daily Grind, on my phone, playing blackjack in an online casino with a mobile feature. In a busy place with lots of chatter going on all around, there is something quite perverse about gambling and winning money when no one even suspects what you are doing. I get a curious glance from time to time, but no one ever asks if they can share my table or even tries to start a conversation. But when I’m winning and it’s time to get up and go home, I do smile at all the other coffee drinkers on my way out.
