Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 40  Moving from slots to table games24 July 2018

The one-bet rule at slots19 June 2018
FROM JUNE: I have enjoyed your columns and books but I do have a serious question. You seem to be the only gambling writer who says to make only one credit bets on slot machines; in old terminology, you eschew full coin.

Starting a Money Management Plan FROM NANCY: How much should I set aside to play a table-game such as blackjack or craps and also on quarter slots of the more or less traditional style?
