Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 50  Five easy pieces6 September 2016
Many new casino players approach the casino experience with a dash, dab or cartload of anxiety, while brand-new players can be frozen with terror. Newbies have fears: How are these games played? How do I get chips? How do I bet? Will other players yell at me for being unaware of how things go? What to do? What to do? The heck with it, I’ll head over to the slots. ... (read more)
More on Lady Luck30 August 2016
FROM JAGGY: I liked your article about luck (“The Lucky One”). Here is my version of this mysterious notion called luck. L-learn U-under C-certain K-knowledge. That is how luck is born. The Captain taught you luck in the game of craps. The 5-Count and dice control. He gave you the knowledge or the idea that certain strategies exist. ... (read more)
Check your inner child at the door23 August 2016
“I am looking to find my inner child,” said my neighbor Gracie. “I want to run in the wind, eat a mountain of candy and do all the things a person my age (38) shouldn’t do. To me being a child is the fun of life. I like to let myself grow!” Gracie goes to the casinos in Atlantic City twice a month. ... (read more)
Casino safari (3)16 August 2016
They are everywhere, the animals and insects of the casinos. Many of you have probably noted that some animals look just like their masters, yes? Well, in the casinos, some players resemble animals and insects of various kinds. Here are some more of them. Common Loon: These players dive so deep in order to find something – usually a dull something – to talk about. ... (read more)
Mission impossible9 August 2016
Except for some banking slots, which I wrote about a little over a year ago, slot players are fully aware that they face a bleak future. The casino will have edges over them of between 17 and 2%. Those edges ranging in the 17% category will usually be the giant progressives with monster jackpots. Those 2% ... (read more)
Some like it hot2 August 2016
It’s August. In parts of the country, temperatures are soaring. It’s hot and in New York, where I live, it can be hot and humid and, at times, just awful. You sweat just thinking of the outdoors. That is why God created air conditioning. It is as close as we will ever get to the Garden of Eden. The only ... (read more)
Casino safari (2)19 July 2016
A few weeks ago I did my first Casino Safari listing of the various animals and insects some casino players remind me of. Here are more. Bonobo: These “almost chimps” love sex and have it whenever they can. They end arguments with sex; disgruntlement with sex; and the female bonobo is a rapacious sexual creature that requires heavy loads of sex. ... (read more)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly12 July 2016
Playing slots can seem as if you are in a Sergio Leone spaghetti western. You remember those films, mostly starring the young Clint Eastwood before anyone knew what a tremendously talented film maker he would become. Those movies had a great, mysterious hero (played by Eastwood), totally nasty villains (the ... (read more)
Send Me No Flowers5 July 2016
Casino players love comps. No secret there. Look at all the players who routinely hand in their player’s cards in order to be “rated.” Being rated is simply the casino keeping track of how much you bet, how long you play, the house edge on the game you are playing, and how many decisions per hour you get at that game. ...

Casino safari (1)28 June 2016
I’ve observed casino players over the years, and suddenly it hit me right between the eyes. I noticed something really peculiar about some players, and that is (please do not take this the wrong way): Many resemble certain animals and insects, having characteristics that, well, characterize those animals and insects. ...
