Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 38  The Royal Flushes, Abby and Cindy Royal8 December 2018
I’ve been asking these two sisters, Abby and Cindy, frequent casino players who have their own philosophies of casino gambling, to start writing occasional articles for this website. They have said “yes” on the condition that I don’t use their photographs. No problem. Ladies, take the floor: ABBY: I am happy to share my ideas and experiences. ... (read more)
Radical approaches to the games4 December 2018
I think many players get stuck in a playing mode and they can’t think any other way about their favorite games. For example, there are slot players who must play the machines that offer up to 50 million to one odds in order to win millions of dollars. Those are big odds, and those machines are quite tight. ...

The late Captain of Craps, the legendary Atlantic City player I have written about in many of my books, once explained to me his theory on how much a person should bet at whatever game he wishes to play in order to experience a high degree of thrill with a low chance of having a heart attack and an even lower chance of being totally bored. ...

A real chance or little chance?20 November 2018
Casino gamblers are faced with several problems when they play the games. They can come in the form of the following questions: • What kind of house edge does the game have? • How fast is the game?

Making money13 November 2018
I used to do a lot of consulting for casinos and casino companies, and at times such consulting dealt with slot machine companies (by the way, I was a player-friendly consultant!). I remember the first time I met some slot honchos and one of the lead guys asked me, “What is the purpose of the slot machine?” It was not a hard question to answer. ... (read more)
Playing it safe is good6 November 2018
If given a choice between a high house-edge bet that brings in a large amount of money should it win or a low house-edge bet that brings in a comparative trickle, which choice would you make? Take the craps bet of Yo-Eleven, which is a single-roll bet that the next number will be an 11. If it wins, you are paid 15 to one. ... (read more)
Betting the Battle of the Birds30 October 2018
You tell me: Who is going to win this battle? We have two birds, Augustus, a Quaker parrot of about 22 years, and Mister Squeaky, a Green-Cheeked Conure of about six years. Mister Squeaky was named by his original owners and I have often dropped the Mister part. I don’t think Squeaky is quite at the age or stage where he should be called Mister. ... (read more)

The music of the machines9 October 2018
Before the slot machines became “paper machines” — that is, when real coins went in and came out, and the noise of those thousands upon thousands of coins going in and coming out filled the casinos, sometimes backed up by the occasional screams of joy from slot players who had hit jackpots — I could hear a ...
