I already know what I know. And I know you are wrong in your assumptions.I now know this completely and utterly, you do not know what you’re talking about when it comes to blackjack and craps and all the other games that the casinos offer you to play...read moreA "don't" player speaks16 April 2017 I have nothing against don’t pass/don’t come players. I’ve been known to visit the dark side during a session at the craps table, though I really prefer the win-together feel of betting with the shooter.The odds are slightly better on the dark side...read moreStump them at blackjack15 April 2017 If your friends think they know the ins and outs of blackjack, here is a little quiz to (hopefully) stump them.QUESTION: For every 100 hands that you play, using proper basic strategy, how many will you bust?ANSWER: You will bust about 16 hands on average out of every 100 hands played, using proper basic strategy.QUESTION: What is the more profitable hand for a blackjack player, a two-card hand that totals 11 or a pair of aces?ANSWER: The 11 is more profitable...read morePayback percentage and baseball back-to-backs13 April 2017 QUESTION: How is payback percentage on a slot machine calculated?

Question: I hate penny slots, and that’s all I can find anymore here in Oklahoma. I’d love to go back to Vegas but I’m pretty sure the situation is the same there. I used to sit for hours enjoying huge banks of quarter and sometimes dollar machines, while waitresses occasionally brought me free drinks...read moreOur readers sound off11 April 2017 FROM CLIFF: I loved the idea you have when playing slots. If I decide to play slots I look for the jackpot payouts being the same per coin, like: 1,500, 3,000 and 6,000. I have hit many a time 1,500 and very happy with the hit!I have two stories where I hit right away and went home.First was sitting down to play Three Card Poker...read moreAn automated argument9 April 2017 A couple of months ago, I shared a few stories from readers about player vs. player tension at the tables. That brought several responses, with the most unusual coming from Elaine, who describes herself as a longtime low-budget player.“You won’t believe this, but I actually saw a big argument over a payoff at an automated table,” she said.With that, she had my full attention...read moreDouble Bonus Poker: 10/7/5 vs. 9/7/58 April 2017 Over the last few decades, casinos have consistently chipped away at the returns for video poker. In the golden days of video poker it was very common to see video poker games that returned very close to – if not more than – 100%.
