Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 12  The Power of Slots3 October 2023
“I’m just a slot player,” some slot players will say as table-game players look at them with pity, concern, contempt. Slot players sometimes feel that they are less-valued casino players than other casino players. How do I know this? I’ve asked them once they have warmed up to talking about their play. ...

Take It Easy26 September 2023
I go back to the advertisements about cigarettes in the 1940’s and 50’s that extolled the virtues of smoking. Such and such a cigarette was good for your throat; or for your sore throat, or was recommended by this many doctors over that many doctors. Movie stars shilled for the cigarette companies. Cigarettes helped you breathe better. ... (read more)

Frank: More inside information from inside the minds of veteran slot players. What do they think of the game they love to play? Brad: Slot players are jealous types. Oh, yes, they are.

Peer Pressure at Any Age5 September 2023
My neighbor’s son is now 17. When he was really young, in the single digits, he was a delightful kid. He had a great sense of humor and he really seemed to enjoy life. Now his face always looks bored. When he is with adults, no matter how smart those adults are, this kid has that “you people are really ... (read more)
"Slowly I turn, step by step..."29 August 2023
Last issue I took up the idea of movement, both physical movement and emotional movement. I used the idea of the shot arrow that must make its way by always going halfway to the target then half way to that halfway point and then again and again until it seems there is no movement at all as you might have an infinite halfway to everything. ...

Between This and That22 August 2023
The arrow being shot at a target is an interesting problem – which could, I guess, cause conniptions in many people. It does for me. Many people ascribe this arrow situation to Archimedes, the ancient Italian philosopher, mathematician, and scientist from ancient Syracuse who postulated the following: If you shoot an arrow at a target, that arrow has to travel a distance to get there. ...

You Must Pay the Piper II15 August 2023
Now, I do not want to discourage people who enjoy playing casino games, be these games machines or table games, to stop it right now and become pure hearted and spiritually cleansed. No. After all, I write for magazines and Internet sites that are casino and gambling oriented. I’ve written 33 books on gambling, thousands of articles and a handful of television shows and videos. ... (read more)

Those who wish they could break even on the machines are legion. They make up almost the full population of slot and casino-games players. ... (read more)
Soothsayer1 August 2023
SOOTHSAYER: Craps is a wonderful game. Full of excitement and terror, maybe in equal measure. It draws many men, mostly men as women don’t gravitate towards it for some reason, and these men do throw their money at Lady Luck hoping she will grant them their wishes. Sometimes she does and sometimes she doesn’t. ... (read more)
