It may be considered a waste of time if you go on a casino-venue vacation such as Las Vegas and not entertain yourself with a great show. In Vegas, you have afternoon shows and free shows and lounge shows and big-name entertainers playing the biggest hotels. Over my casino gaming career I’ve seen some great ... (read more)
Jerzy questions16 April 2019
FROM JERZY: I have to take issue with you on some of your ideas. I know you are a conservative player – to say the least my friend! – but you seem to enjoy taking the fun away from gambling in a casino and I am assuming you feel about this in all gambling anywhere.

Magic of the machines9 April 2019
I want magic. Yes, yes, I do; I really do. I don’t want the kind of magic that is merely illusion as performed by the stage magicians in casino showrooms or on glittery stages.

Big craps questions2 April 2019
FROM VIC: At a craps table in Biloxi, Mississippi, on a $10 minimum table, I saw a player put down a $25 chip for a place bet on the number 6. When I said you will get $1 change ($12 minimum x 2), the dealer said he is not due $1 change.

In and out of the flow12 March 2019
When I was an athlete there were games where near perfection seemed to exist for me. It was hard to miss a pitch or a basket. Everything just seemed to come to me. Of course, the equal but opposite was also true – disappointingly so. I could not hit the ball with a tennis racket and the basket seemed to have a lid on it. ... (read more)
Doctor Ego and Mr. Id5 March 2019
Just about everyone knows the Robert Louis Stevenson story of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Jekyll, a mild-mannered, logical doctor, gives himself a formula aimed at bringing out the being deep inside him, in short the basest, most vicious, sexually propelled, avaricious creature that he believed was within us all. ...
