Baccarat Rules

24 September 2020
I’ve sometime referred to baccarat among the best “no-brainer” bets in casinos. You can get a low 1.06 percent house edge when you bet on the banker hand or 1.24 percent when you bet on player, and you don’t need to know any strategy.Two cards are dealt to the banker hand and two cards to the player hand, and all players may bet on either...read more

"I Can’t Get No Satisfaction!"

22 September 2020
For crying out loud stop your crying out loud!Don’t you understand that the rest of us are coming to the casino and, whether we win or whether we lose, we are not there to burden the other players with our whines and complaints when bad times hit.I think the Rolling Stones said it best in their song Satisfaction which pounded the nail into the wood when they sang “I can’t get no satisfaction.” Despite the double-negative (“can’t” and “no”) listeners clearly got the negative thrust of the song...read more

Same machine, different paybacks

20 September 2020
QUESTION: You’ve mentioned that penny slots usually have lower paybacks than quarters, which have lower paybacks than dollars.How do they do that when the game is the same? When they make it for more money, do they code it so the winners come up more? The random number generator has to know when you’re playing for more money, right, so it can give the right number of winners for how much you bet.ANSWER: There are a number of ways to set odds and paybacks so that higher-denomination games have higher payback percentages...read more

Triple Triple Bonus Video Poker

17 September 2020
A few months ago I mentioned Triple Triple Bonus video poker. It puts major emphasis on big jackpot hands by paying a royal-sized 4,000 coins per five wagered on four Aces with a 2, 3 or 4 kicker, and on four 2s, 3s or 4s with an Ace kicker.With four 2s, 3s or 4s accompanied by a 2, 3 or 4, the return is a half a royal, or 2,000 coins.It’s the 2, 3 and 4 quads that prompted a player named Jan to contact me with a strategy question.“Is there ever a time to hold a single 2, 3 or 4?” she wrote in an email...read more

"Summertime and the livin' is easy"

15 September 2020
“Summertime, and the livin' is easy”George Gershwin’s song lyrics seem to inform us that summertime is a time for easy living and fun. Of course, the song is being sung by a black slave to the baby white girl and, well, obviously everything in life is not so easy is it?Summertime in the world of the casinos seems to be a great time as well but we casino players know that summer can be brutally hot or numbingly cold and everything in between when we are indoors in the temples of our good or ill fortune.But I’m fooling you here...read more
