Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 31  Irritations14 April 2020
I am irritated by dealers who do not know the house edges of their games. Craps dealers should be able to tell players clearly and concisely what edges they face when they make certain bets – if the players ask them that is. How hard is it for blackjack dealers to know the correct basic strategy for the ... (read more)
Penny Pinching at Slots7 April 2020
Unless a slot player wins a monstrous million or multi-million-dollar slot jackpot, he or she is destined for long-term losses. The machines are not programmed to create long-term winners; if they did the casinos couldn’t survive. You know that and I know that. Still, there are better and worse machines to play and better and worse ways to play them. ... (read more)
Savor the Win!31 March 2020
Good and bad things can happen to those of us who play casino games. It is tough to challenge the mighty casinos with their house edges and the speeds of their games. We players are relying on luck to win; the casinos are relying on math. We all know how those contests eventually turn out. One of the worst scenarios has probably happened to just about all casino players. ... (read more)
Gambling is Fine24 March 2020
[We’ve tackled serious ideas before on these pages but they usually deal with good or bad ways to play or what games are about. But what of the ultimate question for casino players; that’s right, the question of whether one should gamble at all? In this two-part column I have given two writers, Matthew and David, a chance to express their con and pro feelings about gambling and casino playing. ... (read more)

$lot $avings10 March 2020
I wish I could say that I did an exhaustive scientific survey of slot players and that my opinions in this column reflect such an amazing survey. I wish I had dozens of people working for me all over the country for a long enough period to nail down my thesis which I am about to give to you. I don’t. ... (read more)
Breaking Bad3 March 2020
The outstanding television series Breaking Bad had some horrifying things to tell us about being addicted to methamphetamine – popularly known as speed. In the show speed certainly isn’t good for the poor souls using it. Speed – to put it bluntly – kills a person’s personality and ultimately his or her life. ... (read more)
Slot Critic Lashes Out26 February 2020
Not everyone likes playing casino games. Indeed, many casino table-game players don’t like playing slot machines even though slot machines are overall the players’ favorite games in the entire casino world. Critics of playing slots have marshaled their arguments and I have decided to outline in a question and answer format what such critics have to ask and say. ... (read more)
The Anti-Tipster25 February 2020
FROM HAROLD: I’ve read a lot about tipping casino people such as parking attendants, bellhops, cocktail servers, dealers, maids and even hosts. This tipping has gotten out of hand. These people all get salaries and if they don’t like what the casino pays them, they are free to move on. Nobody forces them to work jobs where they complain they don’t make enough money. ...

Dicers' Slots18 February 2020
Thirty days have September … April, June and November. All the rest have thirty-one except…Oh, for crying out loud. What’s with February? Seriously? You have to break the rhythm of the lines to get this month into the pack. Is it that important a month? What’s with 28 and then 29 days? Couldn’t a better way be found to get the year to look like a year? Weird; February is a weird month. ... (read more)
