John Grochowski Gaming Guru - Page 174  The Casino Answer Man17 January 2001
Q. Video poker is my favorite game. I never get tired of playing it. I went to Harrah's in Joliet and looked for 10-7 Double Bonus on the Williams Multi-Pay Plus on the second floor of the Southern Star. I checked every one of them and could not find the "Double Four of a Kind" icon. Maybe they took them out. ... (read more)

Q. Some years ago a fellow worker at my Ford office described to me a craps betting system whereby if you roll a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 on the comeout roll, you then bet on the 7 along with backing your line bet with free odds. That way you either make money or break even whether you make the point or not. ... (read more)

Q. Why don't the Illinois boats have progressive slot jackpots like they do in Las Vegas or Tunica, Mississippi? We just came back from Harrah's in Tunica -- it was just outstanding. There were nine five-cent Wheel of Fortune slot machines that were tied into all other five-cent Wheel of Fortune machines in Mississippi. ... (read more)

Q. I was wondering if you could help me out in the world of comps. I'm not very good at knowing what to expect as far as freebies go. For example: My friend and I were at Harrah's Las Vegas and played table games for about five hours one night with the goal of getting something for free. We switched tables a few times, but always made sure the pit boss knew where we were. ... (read more)

I will soon be in my first tournament and I was wondering if there was any strategy involved other than just pulling the "arm" or hitting the buttons like you do when you play normally? Is it just the fastest person to hit the buttons on the lucky machine? Laura The most important thing ... (read more)

I am the developer of the game Guarantee 20. I would like to thank you for devoting your December 5 article to the game.

Guarantee 205 December 2000
About a year ago, a rule called "Guarantee 20" started showing up on blackjack tables. I've taken little note of the option -- it's not widespread, and it's not to the players' advantage to take the guarantee offered. But a couple of things have happened lately. Trump Casino in Gary has joined ... (read more)
Think You've Won on a Video Slot?29 November 2000
Casinos always have needed winners. Winners come back to play, and more often than not they'll give back some of their winnings. Even more important, winners tell their friends how much fun they had, and some of those friends decide to find out if they can be winners, too. The new video slots ... (read more)

Q. I hope you enjoyed those good video poker games at Hollywood because all of the good multi-line games are gone! I checked every machine on both boats. City of Lights I has a single $1 Game King with 9-6 Jacks or Better (next best game is 9-6-4 Double Double Bonus). City of Lights II has two $5 Game Kings with 9-6 Jacks, 9-7 Double Bonus, 9-6-4 Double Double Bonus and Illinois Deuces. ... (read more)
The Casino Answer Man15 November 2000
Q. Last week I was looking for a quarter machine, and a couple of times sat down at dollar games by mistake. On one, the denomination was on the video screen, and it was so small I just didn't see it until I sat down. On the other, I actually put a $20 bill into the reader and was surprised when only 20 credits came up. ... (read more)
