Royal Flushes Gaming Guru - Page 18  Crabs and Craps28 April 2022
CINDY: Craps is a great game and I have to say that some of my greatest casino experiences have come rolling “dem bones!” ABBY: They call those dice “bones” because the original dice were actually made from bones, mostly sheep bones, but there is talk that human bones were sometimes used. CINDY: “Lots” were actually a type of dice as well. ... (read more)
Conversations in the casino21 April 2022
CINDY: There are some games where the players talk to each other. Games such as blackjack can have many conversations taking place from this table to that table. Players don’t seem to mind talking at blackjack. Craps tends to only have cheers and moans. There aren’t too many personal conversations. This is especially true of a craps table in the midst of a hot roll. ... (read more)
"Out, Damned Spot!"14 April 2022
CINDY: Lady Macbeth is one of the great characters in world literature. She teases and tempts her husband to kill King Duncan so that the two of them can rule Scotland. Her ambition is overwhelming but she doesn’t realize that the murder – and the blood from King Duncan which is everywhere in the King’s chambers after Macbeth slaughters him – will fester inside her and destroy her. ...

What's with the Comps?7 April 2022
CINDY: Since the inception of Covid-19 and the general reopening of the casinos, what do you think about comps? Are they looser or tighter? ABBY: I don’t know for every casino obviously but I can say we aren’t getting as much. But we are talking just a little here and there. I’ve noticed more “resort fees” added to rooms in some venues. ... (read more)
Three Strikes31 March 2022
CINDY: I want to talk about the “Three Strikes” idea of Marti Wilson. ABBY: Ohhhh. CINDY: I know you don’t like her… ABBY: No, I just don’t buy into her ideas since she always claims these methods can beat the house edges at the games. They can’t. You know that. I know that. She should know that. ... (read more)
Craps vs. Roulette24 March 2022
CINDY: Now we come to the games that are defined by multiple numbers, roulette and craps. ABBY: There are two types of roulette games, the American and the French. The American game has 38 numbers, 1-36 and a 0 and a 00. The French game has 37 numbers, 1-36 and a 0.

Slots vs. Video Poker17 March 2022
CINDY: Neither one of us is an inveterate slots player. ABBY: Or video-poker player. CINDY: I say we are basically samplers of these games. ABBY: But we do play them every time we go to the casinos. CINDY: For sure. ABBY: Just from a casual observation, slots dominate the machine world. It isn’t even close. ... (read more)
Blackjack vs. Pai Gow Poker10 March 2022
CINDY: I think the two of us have a relatively widespread liking and understanding of the games. Still, some games appeal to us more than others and some games are to be played at certain times and not at others. ABBY: You don’t play blackjack when you are tired or nodding out. You have to play the “basic strategy” perfectly to keep the house edge at bay. ... (read more)
A Proposition About a Roulette Proposition3 March 2022
CINDY: There are certain betting methods that we can recommend at roulette that we find interesting. None of the methods can give the player the edge over the house, that we all know or should know. ABBY: Both Cindy and I are bankroll conscious. We do not want to have very long losing streaks as – to us – such streaks are really bring-downs, creating really negative feelings. ... (read more)
What About Roulette?24 February 2022
CINDY: Last week we took a look at one of our favorite scenes in the movie “Lost in America” starring Albert Brooks and Julie Hagerty. Hagerty’s character gets them into deep trouble by blowing their nest egg on roulette. So, let’s talk about roulette today. ABBY: First, it is important to know that there are two distinct versions of the game. ... (read more)
