Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 34  Electronic table games10 September 2019
There is some movement on the part of some slot players over to electronic games such as roulette, craps, baccarat and blackjack, among others. Most slot players are just nibbling at the games but some have thrown themselves whole hog into them. Over the next few issues I am going to do a body of work on ... (read more)
Dealing with dealers3 September 2019
I wouldn’t want to be a dealer. No way. Dealing with the public can be a challenge, but dealing with the public while they are gambling and drinking can be downright annoying and sometimes frightening. Most players, say 99% of them, are good players in terms of their manners and how they play the game. ... (read more)
Sic bo27 August 2019
If you have a checkbook handy, now would be a good time to take it out and write a check to your favorite casino that offers the game of sic bo. The game is that bad, so if you are flirting with playing, it save yourself the heartache and just write a check. Sic bo means “dice faces.” It is extremely ... (read more)
Keno and the lottery20 August 2019
Keno is a game where the player gets to pick one to 10, 15 or 20 numbers from a total of 80. Many casinos will limit how many numbers a player may choose and often it peaks at 15. The house then picks 20 numbers. Wins are based on how many of the casino’s numbers the player matches. The casino gives you a small piece of paper with all 80 numbers and you color in which ones you wish to have. ... (read more)
When to quit13 August 2019
Many gambling writers will say that players should quit a session when they are ahead. On its face, the advice sounds profound, but when looked at logically it makes no sense. If you win your first decision, do you quit right then and there, hop on a plane or get in your car and head home? I doubt many players would do this. ... (read more)

This is not a review of casinos. I am sure that most of you have your favorite casinos at which to play and I am not going to change your minds. No, this is my outline of what is the best of the best in terms of casino offerings for me; these are the important elements I enjoy. Those elements include dealer and player comportment. ...

Don't go overboard30 July 2019
Drinking, eating, running and gambling all have one thing in common: You can get so hooked on them that they become obsessive negative endeavors instead of positively fun endeavors. Obviously, a glass or two of wine at dinner, a cocktail of two at a party, are enjoyable, but if you become a stumbling drunk it isn’t good for you – obviously. ... (read more)
More on tipping23 July 2019
Dealers should be tipped by putting up a bet for them. There are no rules of thumb that say what dealers’ tips should be, as there are guidelines with waiters and waitresses. A few bucks by a red chip player, a few reds by a green chip player, a few more reds, maybe even a green, for a black and purple chip player, every 20 minutes to 40 minutes would be generous. ...

Some tips on tipping16 July 2019
I grew up in Brooklyn, where the size of a man’s tip told you something important about that man. All the big shots tipped like crazy. If you saw the hilarious movie My Cousin Vinny, you know that when in doubt, which was most times, Vinny tipped. He tipped waiters, waitresses and even prison guards. ... (read more)
Summing it up9 July 2019
Time goes fast, doesn’t it? My nephew has a great way to explain why the older you get, the faster it goes. He says it is the equivalent of miles per hour. When you are seven years old, you are going a mere seven miles-per-hour which is relatively slow, but when you are 70 years old, well then my friend, your speed is 70 miles per hour. ... (read more)
