I live near Atlantic City and go there on occasion and never really had a crazy run, but never really tried. Just remember that the house always wins and good runs also go with bad. My game is roulette and even just playin the side bets is great for the payout but money can go quickly. Poker seems the way to go if you want to play for a long time. I usually do drive bys and just drop a bet on the side, then take my winnings and wander around. As you can tell, I have little patience for sitting at a table for to long.
