Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 10  Casino Odyssey III: The Little Wheel is Now Really Little13 February 2024
Craps and roulette are probably the two oldest casino games. Craps goes all the way back to early people rolling the bleached bones of sheep and other people, thankfully dead, to assess the will of the gods and whether to enslave the denizens of the tribe on the other side of the mountain. That’s why you ... (read more)
Casino Odyssey II: One Game Rides Higher Than Ever6 February 2024
I’ve been a regular casino player since 1990. Some years I have stayed at casino hotels for 130 days. I’ve enjoyed my career; playing, socializing, and writing about the games and the people who play those games. There really has never been a dull moment. In that time, I have seen tremendous changes in the casino world, not the least of which is how the games have changed. ... (read more)
"Nothing is but what is not."4 February 2024
This article has to do with playing casino games that should be random but might not be. It’s the “oh, my lord what is going on?” I am now in another universe. That means out there in space all the way to the beginnings of everything and also right here on our little Earth, a planet that used to make some sense to me. ... (read more)
The Word Made Real16 January 2024
There is a quote in the “Bible” that states: “And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” Leaving aside its religious connotations, casino players say things (the wrong things!) that become flesh and dwell amongst them. These are usually words that signal the players’ ultimate demise in the game or games they are playing. ... (read more)
Farewell, John Grochowski15 January 2024
Today I bid a fond farewell to my friend John Grochowski who is retiring from writing for Casino City Times. He has been a mainstay of this online publication for decades. I will truly, truly miss him. I will truly, truly miss his articles. John Grochowski is one of the finest of all those who have put pen to paper (and fingers to keyboards) in the casino world. ...

My New Rules for Baseball9 January 2024
I like the new rules in major league baseball such as the pitching clock that reduces the amount of time the pitcher can fiddle with the ball before throwing it; the batting clock which makes the player have to stay in the batters box without allowing step outs where the batter can fiddle with his batting ...

One Way Craps2 January 2024
Many casino players have deep in their hearts the intense desire to win money, loads of money, when luck comes a calling. Do they? Sometimes they might but overall losing is in their future. It is extremely difficult to have good luck battling the house edges at the casinos’ games over time and time and time after time enough times to come out as the champion. ... (read more)
My Casino Odyssey30 December 2023
The casino games have changed; very few games for the better and very many games for the worst. I have now been playing in casinos for almost 35 years. That’s a long time in my estimation. Some years I have stayed at casino hotels 130 days! So, I am experienced. I have literally lived the casino life. ... (read more)
Beating the Casinos26 December 2023
Players want to beat the casinos and casinos want to beat the players. Obviously. Players want their luck to run hot in their favor and for the casino’s luck to run cold – really, really cold. That is the nature of every player’s dreams. Lady Luck favors me and Dame Fortune turns her back on the casino. ... (read more)
Card Counting at Blackjack19 December 2023
Every so often you will read about card counting at blackjack. As many casino players know, blackjack used to be a secondary or even tertiary game well behind craps and roulette from World War II through the mid-1960s – and then something happened that spun the casino world on its heels. Actually, two things happened. ... (read more)
