Hi Bob,
It was nice to get to know you too and for shure I will be back next year.
Regarding the French table, the croupiers (dealers) where very helpfull and spoke with a 'French' accent, but when I asked a few questions in French they did not reply so maybe the accent was an act ?
Anyway will put some $$ aside during this year and buy in with you next year at the table and play my favourite numbers and their neigbours.
Take care my friend
Bob
