Craps Creeps20 December 2022
Craps is probably the most exciting game in the casinos. Certainly, craps players think so; just ask them.

Protect Yourself Part II6 December 2022
You battle two possible foes when you play in a casino; the house edge on all the games and the possibility that some crummy person might be looking to rob you or worse.

On August 6, 1945 the Enola Gay dropped the first atomic bomb. It was the sign that the United States had the ultimate weapon and could now destroy Japan if that country did not surrender.

What is Luck?25 October 2022
You constantly hear casino players talk about “good luck” or “bad luck” and the belief on their part is that there is such a thing in the universe as luck and that sometimes that luck is good for them and sometimes that luck is bad for them. But luck seems to be spoken off as if it is some kind of force that decides who gets this, that or the other thing. ... (read more)
Slots versus Roulette18 October 2022
Slot players don’t have a better chance to win than, say, a blackjack player or craps player or roulette player, right? Machines are greedier than table games, right? I am not so sure.
