So you are looking for some great gambler nicknames? Well you have come to the right place. Let’s face it, gamblers are odd folk and tend to have funny nicknames, however not always cool nicknames due to limited imagination. Below is a list of some of the most common gambler nicknames I have come across in my trips to Vegas, Monte Carlo, Atlantic City and Reno.
Gambler Nicknames – The List
Fats – As in Juan “Fats” Rodriguez. This nickname probably originates from the fact that a lot of gamblers sit on their ass all day downing endless plates of prime rib and sucking down bottomless glasses of high carbohydrate orange whips and the like.
D.B. Cooper – As in Jimmy “D.B. Cooper” Newton. Any gambler who likes to “cut and run” after winning a large jackpot is the scourge of all casino pit bosses. Just like D.B. Cooper, the iconic fellow who after having quite a run during an in flight game of craps chose to jump from a speeding 737 instead of “rollin’ the bones” one more time. So, beware of any gambler that has earned the nickname of the famous parachutist.
MoneyBags – Any gambler who wins a lot of money and seems to always tip the drinks-server. The player with this nickname can often be seen at the cashier cashing in chips and schmoozing with the Mafia types at the front table of the restaurant. This is usually a temporary nickname.
Old Yellow Hands – Like 87 year old Merle “Old Yellow Hands” Wilson. The gambler earning this moniker usually sits at a slot machine smoking one cheap GPC cigarette after another as they frantically shovel coin after coin into the machine. The only time a cigarette is not burning in his hand is when he is holding it clenched in his mouth burning a long ash as he collects his winnings.
Einstein – Notable gambler Lou “Einstein” Weinstein. The player with this nickname is a player whose gambling prowess is less than desired. This is the player who commonly spills his cheap beer all over the blackjack table. Often security guards will escort this person out of the casino with such sayings as “Ok Einstein, time to go you bum!” The earlier mentioned gambler Lou “Einstein” Weinstein is notable because in one sitting he spilled three beers, one Creme de Menthe, and three shots of tequila on a blackjack table, fell backwards in his chair once, fell asleep mid-deal, grabbed the dealers cards, vomited into a chip bucket, burnt a hole in his pants with a cigar, insulted a Texas oil tycoon, called the pit-boss a Goombah, threw ice at a old man who was sweeping the floor, physically folded his cards in half when he folded, permanently marred the tables playing surface with chewing gum, tipped a waitress in coupons, used a drink holder as a spittoon, urinated into a highball glass, when winning screamed “BooYaaaa” at the top of his lungs, kept calling the overhead cameras “Big Brother”, took a fellow player’s purse and dug through it for a mint, started quoting James Bond when ordering drinks. Then he was promptly thrown out.
Ink Daubbin’ Granny – Applies to Bingo players such as Florida’s Gladys “Ink Daubbin’ Granny” Morris. She could run 16 cards at one time furiously marking Bingo numbers as they were called out with nary a mistake. This would seem to indicate a sharp mind, but Glady’s couldn’t figure out how to use a push button phone and still rents a rotary phone from the phone company. She also couldn’t figure out a simple ballot back in the 2000 election and left more than one chad hanging on that day.
The Hoverounds – The Hoverounds are a gang of older people that cause all kinds of havoc when they enter a casino. For those not familiar, a Hoveround is a electric mobility wheelchair type device. Perhaps you have seen the infomercial. These things have the ability to whip 360’s at a tremendous speed and I have more than once been clipped by one as an overzealous octogenarian turning his cart around to see who just won the daily advancing penny slot jackpot. The Hoverounds are the same crew who used to be “Mall Walkers” but just became lazy and said “Fuck It” and used their Medicare to get something to haul their creaky bones around. God forbid if one of these mobility scooters runs out of battery power on the casino floor, these bastards will block pathways for hours yelling out cranky remarks to us younger folks.
Poker Star – This is a type of person who is loved by his fellow poker players because he sucks. This fella had a nice run on Poker Stars and once won a three table tourney. He is an avid watcher of “Poker After Dark” and every day retells you a hand by hand description of his previous nights 10/25 cent triumphs. He also tends to wear sunglasses whilst playing.
Canister Man – Beware of the Canister Man, this is the old timer with a huge oxygen tank on wheels and at least 15 feet of clear plastic tubing trailing behind him. The tank most likely has a bubbler which humidifies the air pouring into his nostrils and sounds like scuba diver’s worst nightmare. Always stay at least 25 feet away because these people are surrounded with an aura of explosive gases. More than once, one of these people lights a cigarette and forgets to turn off their tank. Thats what happened to the MGM Grand.
The Sightseer – These lame asses usually from the rust belt region of the country fly to Vegas, lose all of their money on the first day and spend the rest of the time at the gaudy attractions taking white, bloated, pasty pictures of themselves in front of fake volcanoes, fake sphinxes, fake New Yorks, fake Paris scenes, white tigers and all kinds of stupid shit. They also really do not have very funny nicknames due to their blandness.
