Using Ipods at Niagara

Hi all, I searched about this first and it seems that you are unable to wear ipods at Casino Niagara. The thread was over year old so I just wanted to make sure if this has/hasn't changed. A friend of mine who plans on going with me wanted to wear one, you know, to look all cool at the 2/4 tables. I told him that I was pretty sure he couldn't, but that I'd find out for sure. Thanks for the help.

    You can wear an Ipod, just don't do it to "look" cool. You won't! And make sure you don't miss a bet, etc because you are wearing and listening to one. That will be looked on as very uncool... No phones at the table though.....

    You're only allowed to use an iPod a the table as long as you're also wearing wrap-around shades and a hoody.

    And a black 10-gallon hat is just bonus.

    Haha, I wear my Ipod just to beat boredom. And I use small ear buds, hidden under my touque...I am the epitome of trying to look cool.

    They are not allowed but they arent very strict any more, most of the time you can get away with them.

    fyi, if anyones had any trouble putting videos on their ipod, if you have the video, you need to dl a program called videora ipod converter (not advertising it's truly the only way short of buying all your movides from itunes) and format all the videos you want to put on your ipod.

    I happened to be wandering around the poker room at Casino Niagara last night :D and asked a dealer about this - he said offically they are allowing MP3 players now...

    notice I said MP3 players and not IPODs - yes I hate to conform "72o - I re-raise all in!"

    I was there monday, and they let me listen, but the mp3 player couldn't be on the actual table.

    That casino has a funny thing of dealers making up their own "official rules"
  • moosemoose

    Heh heh - you know I've played there enough to not even think about disagreeing with you!

    Why on earth would want to lessen the amount of information you are receiving at the poker table? Besides, when listening to music you can't hear the guy who says "you can never fold the top pair". And people who have ipods often miss the action, which is a big pet peeve of mine.
  • SoupSoup
    I agree with Meistro, however I will bring my ipod to large MTT's, it helps mucking for a couple hours a little easier.

    interesting that "ipod" is now synonymous with any portable listening device.

    I was up in cottage country last year, and overheard a mother asking her 2-year old "Honey, do you want some juice?", the kid said yep and the mom cracked open a Pepsi.

    Gotta get those healthy habits started early!

    It's the old bait and switch.  The people that are brought up that way end up being the LAG's that treat K3o like it was AA.

    I'm not sure if this has anything to do with anything but I was camping once and this guy was inline at the local snack bar. The conversation was:

    Customer: "What kind of chocolate bars do you have?"
    Counter Lady: "we have lots, what were you looking for?"
    Customer: "well, do you have coffee crisp or Kit Kat?"
    Counter Lady: "Yes, we have both of them"
    Customer: "Ok great, I'll have a hot dog then"

    This conversation occurred about 20 years ago and I'm still mistified by it.
