Ask the Slot Expert: Video poker with and without slot club rewards

15 January 2014
I play video poker at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. About a year ago they took many of their VP machines, about 15 to 20 percent at the bars and the casino floor, and stopped awarding points on them. However they increased the payback percentage on them...read more

Mike's craps system and fast VP play

14 January 2014
FROM MIKE: I mentioned, about a couple of months ago, that I had an idea for a modified come balance system. I've toyed with it, on paper, but sort of get confused, sometimes, on the outcome, especially if there is a long roll.I'll go ahead and share it with you.....read more

Quit while you're ahead

12 January 2014
QUESTION: The other day, my brother-in-law said, “It always seems like you’re ahead sometime whenever you go to the casino. If only you could bring yourself to quit while you’re ahead, you’d do all right.”We laughed, then got to talking. If you won your first $10 blackjack bet, you probably wouldn’t leave...read more

More Lottery Nonsense

11 January 2014
I recently received the following email from one of my readers S. Paul SmithHiI found your website and liked very much the “lottery nonsense” article. The only thing that could slightly increase your chances is to play multiple games at once (picking several different series in the same game).I have a question regarding the odd/even distribution in a 6/49 though...read more

It IS what meets the eye

9 January 2014
QUESTION: I came across a slot machine that had both free-spin and second-screen bonuses. To get the free spins, you had to have special symbols and the first, third and fifth reels. For the second screen, the bonus symbols had to be on the second, third and fourth reels.Is that a way to make sure you get the bonuses less often? It seems like I have more chances if I need three bonus systems and they can come on any of the five reels.ANSWER: Probably not...read more

Smart craps play

8 January 2014
For players who take craps seriously, the next step after learning the basics of how to play usually is to probe deeper into the possibilities presented by the dozens of bets and hundreds of potential combinations available.Is there a weakness that can be exploited? Is there a synergy between Bet A and Bet B that covers the loss-producing potholes in each and paves the road to riches? Can combining a high risk but high-paying bet with more of an even-keel, grind-it-out wager give you the best of both worlds.When readers send their favored combinations to me, it usually involves a bet on any 7 in an attempt to cover up the loser 7s on pass and place bets...read more

Ask the Slot Expert: A bizarre video poker experience

8 January 2014
I play at Ameristar Casino in St. Charles, MO. I like to play Double-Double video poker and have read many of your articles. They have helped a lot.

Everyone has a system

5 January 2014
When I first started writing about casinos and casino games, I used to have people pitching systems to me all the time.“You’ll want to talk to me,” one fellow’s phone message started. “I’m the only one who knows how to beat craps.”He phoned me off and on for three years, and finally sent me a detailed computer simulation...read more

How to bet at blackjack

4 January 2014
In this article, I’m going to look at the different ways that recreational players bet when they play blackjack and offer you my opinion on which way is best. (I’m going to assume that you know the basic playing strategy and are facing a half-percent house edge when you play.)Always Bet Same AmountA player who always bets the same amount is known as a “flat bettor.” Regardless of how much he wins and loses, he always bets the same amount of money (chips) on each hand.This is a conservative way to bet at blackjack, but most players don’t find it very exciting...read more
