Pull Tab Porn 1.0

Yep, been there done that.

 

Been there, never won though

 

Same. In Missouri at least, it has to be a real dive bar for those. Or "Lambert's Cafe" in Sikeston.

The popularity they have in Minnesota amazes me. You can even buy them at Mystic Lake Casino!

 

I’m a veteran “tabber”

 

In the days when I "daubed", I just had to get me some pulltabs too. But I am positive the fix was in because I never won anything and the very next people to buy were huge regulars who were real tight with bingo selling bitches. They won something every time. Fullerton Bingo closed suddenly and I wonder the reason. Just sayin' lolol.

If they had these like keno at the cafes in LV, I'd be thru my daily budget by breakfast lol.

 

Love me some pull tabs. I never win BUT it doesn’t stop me from trying .... kind of like me at a slot machine right @Texas Steph hahahaha

 

We refer to tabs as cardboard crack.

 

One of my BIL's bar buddies insists he knows how to get the winners. He's literally started fights at their local dive if someone buys a pull tab during his "process", and will try and claim they owe him the money if he hits lol

 

Pull tab etiquette is really strange. If you meet a buddy at the bar and he’s $100 into a box, he usually will give you shit if you buy into the same box. We say you’re “mowing my lawn”

 

You're damn right I'm buying in if you haven't hit $100 into the box

Sounds like the same kinda guy who complains you "stole his slot win" by playing a machine he wanted to play

 

You just need to stick to VP, and let J hit the slots!!

 

Ain’t that the truth!!!! My famous last words “ ok I’m just going to put another 20 in just to see if I can get a bonus” ..... on repeat. HAHAHA!! Meanwhile jeff is like a machine. Next time I’ve got this. Lol.

 

I haven't done a lot of pull tabs, but from what I remember, here in Seattle if you are playing a game they lock it up for the time you are playing, just as if you were on a slot. They have reserved table tent type markers that they put on the bin while someone is throwing money into it.

 

Definitely a unique etiquette to it in Minnesota. People who just walk in and start playing when someone else is “buried” in a box is one thing, but the “snipers” who sit there and watch someone put $200-$300 into a box, and THEN buy in are considered real a$$holes, even though the rules of the game certainly allow it.

The worst thing is people who hide winners, or even leave with them and come back the next day to see if the odds on the box have improved, to buy more. If you don’t turn in a winner in 20 minutes, the joint is supposed to deny payment, but far too many places are way too lax on that.

 

And let’s not forget the e-tabs that we’re supposed to pay for the Vikings new stadium.

 

Window box!! Mystery winner. 3 $225 winners, 9 $100 winners, 1 $50 winner.

 

Damn, Geotwink called #18 and it was a $50. But I put in $100 more on a $5 box. All I got was two $5 playbacks. But out of those two tickets...

 

It’s funny how often you pull a big winner with playbacks
