Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 42  Money management at slots13 March 2018
Many casino players believe that there are ways to manage one’s money to prevent the casino from having an edge on them. This is a totally wrong assumption. If the casino has an edge at a game, which it does at just about all games, no money management system is going to take that edge away. With the ... (read more)
Simple rules of baccarat6 March 2018
Baccarat presents you with an almost 50-50 game against the casino – the bank bet will actually win more than 50% of the time. Baccarat is dealt from a shoe. All 10s, jacks, queens and kings equal zero. The ace equals one. All the other cards equal their face value. The highest possible hand is nine. ... (read more)
Slot knowledge27 February 2018
FROM MARIE: I enjoy the slot machines and I do not care that you and other writers claim these are programmed to take our money. All casino games, slot machines included, are created to take our money. That’s the whole point of the casino, making money. But I have started to read articles on the slot machines and I realize that each machine or type of machine is programmed differently. ... (read more)
Simple questions, simple answers20 February 2018
We face a new year ahead of us, the number 2018. For me, such a date is the equivalent of living in a science fiction novel of my childhood: home computers, smart phones with video and photography, laptops, and a host of other sci-fi technology. And casinos, which at this writing number some 1,000 that are spread out over 50 states. ... (read more)
Slot machines are perfect employees13 February 2018
It is no exaggeration to say that if slot machines did not exist, there is a markedly good chance that casino gambling would not have spread like wildfire across the United States and Canada. Slots generally cost far less than a dealer, even those slots that are branded and “rented” to the casinos such as ... (read more)
Please be gentle6 February 2018
Playing in a casino for the very first time can be an intimidating experience. Many first-time players tend to head right for the slot machines, since these machines will rarely have other players watching them. Table games are a different story. Most of the time, you have to make some decisions, and in a ... (read more)
What do losses mean?30 January 2018
FROM THEODORE: I am totally confused by certain things I have read about casino gambling. I am a novice and I have not played so far and therefore maybe I am misreading what I have read. Take craps for instance. The pass line bet is supposed to be a good bet and the house edge is something like 1.4%. ... (read more)
Keeping it close is the best bet23 January 2018
Every craps player has his or her own philosophy of play. Some wild action players look to make as much money from each bet as possible. They will bet proposition bets such as the any seven, individual numbers such as 2, 3, 11 and 12, the horn and the like. My mentor, the late Captain of craps, the man I ... (read more)
Ruining your fun16 January 2018
OK, this column might ruin your fun if you are a craps player. That is correct. As a busy-bodied gambling writer, I want everyone to see craps the way I see it because, well, I am right. First, as craps players know and as many novices hovering near the table can readily see, craps has such a variety of bets that it can give a new player a headache. ... (read more)
Simple slot questions9 January 2018
Simple Slots Question: I know that there something called the RNG that controls the computerized slot machines, but I have no idea what this means and how the results come from this computer thingy. Can you help me on this? I know it doesn’t change the way I play but it would be nice to know what is behind the curtain. ... (read more)
