Every game in the casino has a good way to play it and a bad way to play it.

Proper Roulette Play

2 July 2024
I enjoy playing roulette at a semi-full table which simply means I can get my seat in front of the even-money wagers. Otherwise, I’ll skip the game.Standing at the table makes me tired. I want my body – my old, old body – to relax when I am in a casino.The even-money wagers pay out even money but the house still has its edge over the player...read more

The Excitement of Craps

29 June 2024
From George in WisconsinHello “Stickman”I love the game of craps. The action, the excitement, the potential to win big are all major draws for me to the game. There is a certain flow to the game. There are periods where point 7-out follows point 7-out and other periods where the roller has everything going for him (or her).I have always been a believer that you have to “strike while the iron is hot.” I bet very cautiously when the table is in a down cycle, but quickly switch to getting everything I can from a hot table...read more

CINDY: Everybody has certain expectations when they go to the casino. What are yours?ABBY: True. I have expectations.

Ask the Slot Expert: Split Card calculations: Straight Flush - Part 1

26 June 2024
Previously on Ask the Slot Expert: A few weeks ago I played Deuces Wild with the Split Card gimmick. Split Card sometimes gives you two cards in one position of your hand. Although it's possible to get 6 of a Kind and other six-card hands, the only bonus hand is 5 Deuces, which pays 2000. I was dealt this hand: Q♦ 2♠/2♠ 2♥ T♦ 8♥. I wasn't sure which combination was better to hold: Q♦ 2♠/2♠ 2♥ T♦ and be guaranteed the Wild Royal and maybe get 4 Deuces 2♠/2♠ 2♥ and take a chance on 5 Deuces Here is the EV of option 1. Hold: Q♦ 2♠/2♠ 2♥ T♦ HandPaysWaysTotal Pays 4 Deuces100022000 Wild Royal125455625 Total7625 EV=Total/47162.23 Here is what I have so far for the EV of option 2.
