27 October 2015
Here are two examples, just two, in the larger litany of hundreds of casino patrons that I wish would take themselves out of Lady Luck’s temple and (oh, I don’t know) take up knitting, parachuteless sky diving or something to that effect.These players are the inveterate complainers.Now most casino gamblers, meaning the overwhelming majority of them, have the sense to know that the casino has the edge on every game and that over time, sometimes a long time, sometimes a short time and sometimes an even shorter time, the casino player will be a loser...read more

They do like video poker a lot, and they take me to off-Strip casinos where the locals like to play.One thing they showed me was a Deuces Wild game that they said was better than the games I like...read more

Criss Cross Poker

22 October 2015
Usually, when I see a table game for the first time at the annual Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, I assume it’s going to be some time before I see it again. Table space is limited, it takes time for games to get a trial in casinos, and some games make a splash online before brick-and-mortar operators give them a look.Criss Cross Poker is different...read more

Royals and insurance

18 October 2015
QUESTION: I’m new to video poker, and everybody tells me Jacks or Better is the easiest game, so that’s what I’m playing for right now. It seems like the goal is to draw a royal flush. That would be $1,000 on the quarter games I play. I could make good use of $1,000!My question is, how much money do you need to be certain you’ll get a royal flush in quarter video poker? I’ve read the royals come about once in 40,000 hands, but you’re getting other payoffs along the way, so you don’t really have to have 40,000 bets worth to be sure of a royal, do you? Betting the five coins at quarters, that’s $50,000!ANSWER: You’re never really certain of getting a royal...read more
