Ask the Slot Expert: Telling which slot machines are going to hit4 June 2014
I am going to Atlantic City for the first time in about five years.
I like the slots, especially ones that have a cute bonus round. I have learned that I can make a little playing 5-cent machines compared to playing higher denominations that pay less often.
Are there any indications as to which machines are going to hit? A certain seat in a row of machines?
Any tips you could give me would be very appreciated.
If only we could predict when a machine is going to hit.
Slot manufacturers go to great lengths to ensure that the results of each spin are determined at random...read moreBig wins and big losses3 June 2014 From Jimbo: OK, here is something I am interested in.

I live in Connecticut where there is no state supervision of the two largest
casinos in the country, Foxwoods and the Mohegan Sun. The agreement
between the state and both tribes was that part of the revenue generated by
slots would be given to the state and that each casino would have complete
jurisdiction over their casinos...read moreAdvantage players and disadvantage dealers27 May 2014 From Eugene: Mr. Scoblete, I enjoy your articles and look forward to always reading your books. But there is one thing that I do not understand and maybe you can help me with that. Why are some writers, yourself included, so against just going to the casino to have fun? Do I have to have an edge at the games I am playing? Is there any other kind of fun at the casinos for you guys other than having an edge?I do not want to work to learn how to count cards or control dice which probably takes forever to learn or trudge all over the place looking for the right video poker machines or those advantage slot machines you wrote about in Slots Conquest...read moreMultipliers and bonus bets25 May 2014 QUESTION: At most places where I play, Mississippi Stud Poker has a three-card bonus bet.
