Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 35  A bigger bucket redux2 July 2019
In 1991 (or thereabouts) my wife the Beautiful AP wrote an article titled “A Bigger Bucket.” I thought it captured the real reason people played slots, at least symbolically. Now, I know players all have various reasons for risking their hard-earned money on machines programmed to take that money and, ... (read more)
Going to war against casino war25 June 2019
It was called War, and you probably played a version of this as a kid, or in a bar to determine who bought the next drink. Hopefully you weren’t a kid in the bar. It’s really just simple, as in you get one card, he gets one card, and whoever has the highest card gets the free drink. Or if there is a tie, you go to war. ... (read more)
The power of slots18 June 2019
Casino gambling or racinos are in over 80% of the United States. They are in Canada and throughout Europe and the Middle East. Casino gambling is almost as popular with the human race as warfare. Casinos would never have spread like wildfire had it not been for the slot machines. There just aren’t enough ... (read more)
She quit11 June 2019
Most readers enjoy reading uplifting stories about slot machines and slot players. I understand this but every once in a while we have to look at the major mistakes some slot players make that not only ruins their favorite pastime but ultimately might cause some of them to give up playing the machines altogether. ...

What I've learned4 June 2019
About the following: I didn’t jot down the statistics because this reflection happened after many years of experiencing casino gamblers in their element – the casinos. So my opinion might be off a little here or there. But I think I am right – or mostly right – since it’s been 30 years of seeing this loud and clear. ... (read more)
The bets of roulette28 May 2019
Last week I discussed the two basic roulette games found throughout the world, the American double-zero game (0, 00) and the European single-zero game (0). The overall house edge for almost every bet at the American game is 5.26%, and it is 2.7% at the European wheel. Like craps, roulette has a host of bets that can be made. ... (read more)
The two roulettes21 May 2019
There are two types of roulette games in the world, the American and the European. Strangely, the American double-zero wheel was created in Europe but is now considered fully domesticated, since it is used far more than any other wheel in the United States. Guess where the European wheel was created. ... (read more)
The methods to their madness14 May 2019
My wife has a (correct) theory about me. She believes that I believe that anyone who agrees with me is smart and those who don’t agree with me are (to put it mildly) not too bright. Actually, I think most people think this exact way. The dumbest guy at the bar hollering and arguing about his pet theory of ... (read more)
The gambling buffet7 May 2019
Casinos have great dining buffets. You can get all manner of ethnic offerings such as Italian, Southern, Chinese, Irish and Scottish, along with many other European and Asian specialties. Not every buffet will have every ethnicity's or country’s offerings, but tour the country as I have and you will eat – a ... (read more)
Some player superstitions30 April 2019
Humankind is a superstitious lot. There’s no doubt about that. Throwing salt over our shoulders if some it had spilled on the table or floor; not walking under ladders or stepping on cracks on the sidewalk. Look at the number of religions in the world over time, perhaps tens of thousands, all basically explaining everything but doing it differently. ... (read more)
