Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 69  The RNG and your ratings for wins and losses5 February 2013
Dear Frank: I enjoy reading Casino City Times and use your advice often. I have some questions on the technical side of slots and video poker. I understand how the RNG works and usually play Deuces Wild Video Poker. When you draw cards are they always placed left to right or random? I use this to determine what could have been and if I made the better play. ... (read more)
The strange brew of ploppy philosophers29 January 2013
Where there are people there are ideas. Where there are ideas there are often wrong ideas. Where there are wrong ideas there are often superstitions that grow in, under, around and through these wrong ideas. These superstitions are then supported by a makeshift rationale, a flimsy logic that solidifies them in the minds of their adherents. ... (read more)
Loose or tight slots: Which makes more for the casino?22 January 2013
You can take a quick look at the slot paybacks in this issue of Strictly Slots to get some idea of which areas of the country have the loosest slots payout percentages and which areas have the tightest payout percentages. You can also go casino by casino in those jurisdictions that report individual percentages. ... (read more)
What is the point of slot play?15 January 2013
I have a neighbor who is a noted physicist, at least other physicists note him. He is a man who scorns casinos and is totally disdainful of casino players and slot players in particular. I am sure most of my readers know someone just like him. The other day I asked him why he was so “perturbed” (his word) about slot players. ... (read more)
Slot watchers8 January 2013
I have been fat for 20 years now. Oh, yes, I work out every day and my heart rate is 55 beats a minute; but I am fat. I am 100 pounds over my fighting weight of 40 years ago! So I decided to go to Weight Watchers to lose several generations of body lard. I have been going for a month now and the process does work. ... (read more)
Madame La Pilate's top 10 predictions for 20131 January 2013
Many of you don’t know who Madame La Pilate is. She is a very special psychic/astrologist who makes amazingly accurate predictions and has done so all these many years. At least that is what she told me when I tripped over her sleeping on the sidewalk on 33 and Broadway in Manhattan. She is totally disdainful of science (“It has nothing but idiots working in it. ...

Best casino for comps26 December 2012
Dear Frank: I was wondering if you would know which casinos are the most generous in giving comps. My wife and I love to play blackjack and Pai Gow poker. We are $10 players and have found at many casinos we don't get anything. Although we don't play for comps, it would be nice to occasionally get a free meal. ... (read more)
The worst bet of all23 December 2012
Dad Died, The last five years my father was crazy; certifiably crazy, hospitalized for awhile in a psychiatric unit crazy. This happened when my mother took ill with Alzheimer’s and he refused to leave her side; he’d be with her all 24 hours and he tried to take care of her as best he could. He refused to eat properly. ... (read more)
The psychic side of slots21 December 2012
While I think there may be some kinds of ESP – or at least the appearance of ESP – I am a total skeptic when it comes to finding winning slot machines based on one’s intuitive powers. For example, a hundred players can feel that tonight is the night they will win big. That they will pick just the right ... (read more)
Destroying Atlantic City in blackjack12 December 2012
Alan Krigman (columnist for Casino City Times) and John “Skinny” (below) have mathematical formulas showing why Don Johnson of Pennsylvania won more than five million dollars from the AC’s Tropicana. They all state unequivocally that the player had the edge for a relatively short while in which to hammer out a nice, fat win – and hammer such a win Don Johnson did. ... (read more)
