Gambling Monkey
You may have heard it in a casino at a blackjack table.
What is a pony and a monkey in gambling? Asked by Wiki User. Wiki User Answered. 2009-04-09 22:-04-09 22:42:46. A pony is £25 and a monkey is £500. Then Online Casino Monkeys is the best place for you, we give you the best and newest online casinos out there. We monkey around with new slot machines and new casinos on a daily basis, so trust us when we tell you, we know what’s going on in the industry. Monkey Baccarat is essentially the same thing as EZ Baccarat with three new side bets added. In Monkey Baccarat, all face cards are referred to as 'monkeys.' This is not a mistake on my part. I know the conventional parlance for baccarat is that all zero-point cards are called a 'monkey.'
MONKEY! MONKEY! MONKEY!
Generally it’s a method of calling for a “10” of some kind when someone is doubling down on a hand, or is showing a single ace.
If that’s not the case, the player’s an idiot, in which case, you should walk away from the table before that player messes up the shoe, and takes down the table.
*ahem*
Getting back to the subject at hand, most people really don’t know where the term came from, only that it’s popular, and like all lemmings, one will following the next, while they all jump off a cliff to join the rest.
This term follows along that same path, after which, you may not want to use it again.
The word orang is the Malaysian/Indonesian word for “person”, which is the root for the word orangutan (yes, the primate). Orang, in many Chinese dialects, primarily Mandarin and Taiwanese, is a derogatory word for a black person (you can equate it to the n-word).
Gambling Monkeys
Those that frequent casinos will understand when I say this:
Gambling Monkey
Where there’s a casino, you will find Asians.
(If you wonder why that is, let’s just say, it’s part of the religion.)
In a translation gone bad, it is perhaps assumed that a Chinese person at a casino at some point called out MONKEY! while playing blackjack, innocently believing they were calling for a “black” jack, or a n***** and, since no one understood the ramifications of what this one person was saying, this person was lucky enough to walk away, unscathed, rather than get jumped, then beaten down for using the racial slur (translated into another language).
Although not meant to be a derogatory comment in general, most singularly racial societies rarely understand the slang that sometimes may come out of their mouths, which under multi-racial circumstances, would constitute a beat-down of “yo mama” proportions.
You may think you sound “cool”, and in your ignorance, you had no idea, but now that you do, don’t be THAT person, and just take it out of your gambling vocabulary.
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
