Ultimate tic tac toe

Roulette would be cool to see, basically any table games would be cool

I wonder if the craps are casino or street rules?

Mike Weissmann

Cribbage

Seconding (thirding?) classic casino games, as well as classic board games like chess and backgammon. You could also go the obscure historical route and try things like Ur or Hnefatafl, which would be more of a teaching episode than an entertainment episode like Liar's Dice (which was awesome!).

Hade

Pool

Sanskar Wagley

Craps and Yahtzee

Knifey Spoony, obviously... surprised I'm the first to suggest it. :P

If you do Euchre, you need to get a genuine Hoosier or Michiganer that knows both the rules and the established cheat methods.

James Bond plays Baccarat/Chemin-de-Fer against Le Chiffre in Casino Royale. The book also has an interesting looking Roulette strategy which enriches Bond. In the book Moonraker, Bond rigs a card deck so that the villain thinks that he has the perfect Bridge hand. In true "Diamond Jim" style it is a misleading hand that allows Bond to win the round.

Feel like these are more scamschool episodes than MR but I suppose casino's fit in the gentleman or scoundrel categories

I went backgammon because aside from knowing it's the game on the other side of the checker board, I have no idea what it is

Baccarat, an excuse to put you guys in Tux's and talk like Sean Connery.

Go would be cool to learn

I agree with wood chuck chuck - Maybe a series on the classic casino games- there's gotta be a reason 007 plays baccarat.

I would say chess, dominoes, blackjack or poker

Saying Euchre just cause I haven't played it since I was in college (in college, up in Ontario, Canada, it was *the* thing to play at lunches and breaks. Where I live in North Carolina now it seems to be unknown)
