24 April 2012
Among the dozens of betting options at the craps table, among the most commonly played are the place bets. They're wagers that the shooter will roll the number of your choice before rolling a 7. You're paid at 7-6 odds on winners if your number is 6 or 8, 7-5 if you bet on 5 or 9, and 9-5 if you bet on 4 or 10...read more

The 10 common player "mythtakes" of table games

23 April 2012
Mythtake #1: In blackjack, the dealer probably has a face-down 10-value card. Not so. He is much more likely to have a non-10 in the hole because in a deck of cards, there are only 16 cards valued as 10 and 36 cards not valued as 10. Now, keep in mind we don't play basic strategy based on what we guess the hole card of the dealer is...read more

Reading the Placard

20 April 2012
It was a holiday weekend, and I was in a large, crowded casino in Northern Nevada. When I first enter a casino I use a mental checklist to evaluate blackjack tables to determine which ones might be good and which ones to avoid. I do this rather than just hoping that the table I sit down at will be a winning one...read more

A shuffle through the gaming mailbag

19 April 2012
Q. You always mention that the payback percentage for dollar slots is better than the 50- or 25-cent slots. How about in a multi-play slot machine where you can choose $1, $.50 or $.25? Does the payback change as you change the denomination, or are you getting a lower payback for dollars because you can play the smaller denominations also? A...read more

Ask the Slot Expert: Do video poker machines still deal from a fair deck?

18 April 2012
When I first started playing video poker in Las Vegas some years ago, all the machines had a sticker stating that all deals were from a 52-card deck. During recent trips to Las Vegas and to the local Indian casino I could find no such stickers.Their removal would indicate to me that, now that all machines are connected to a central computer and are no longer stand-alone, the machines may not be dealing exclusively from a 52-card deck. From the house's standpoint, controlling payouts on video poker to be more like slot machine payouts would be profitable...read more
