Ask the Slot Expert: Are player's cards worth it?30 November 2011
Many casinos offer special cards based upon play. Do you really get that much benefit from
having those cards as what they cost in gambling to get?Just asking your opinion on this as I see how much some people spend to get these cards.
Jerry
Dear Jerry,
Let me answer your question in two parts.
First, do you get much benefit from the cards? Absolutely...read moreThe progressive side bet at Caribbean Stud29 November 2011 It had been ages since I last sat down to play Caribbean Stud poker, but on a lazy Wednesday morning, I spotted an acquaintance named Rich at a half-full table, and decided it was time to catch up.
I bought in for $100, divided into $90 in red $5 chips and $10 in white $1 chips, put down a red to ante and a white on the progressive jackpot, and settled in to play.
Rich and I exchanged greetings, then he asked, "Let me ask you something...read moreCarry-on luggage is the way to go28 November 2011 I think the following is a fun read.

![]() Pai Gow Poker - The Basics27 November 2011 Contrary to the common belief that Pai Gow Poker is an ancient Chinese gambling game, Pai Gow Poker actually was developed in American casinos in the late 1980s. Some credit Sam Torian the owner of the Bell Card Club with creating the game, which he supposedly based on a Chinese card gamed called Puy Soy...read moreTreat dealers like friends26 November 2011
Dear Frank:
This is not a question but rather a comment. I was reading on your site a comment by a fellow in Washington State, who said he was getting a lot of flak from the dealers in the Indian casinos there.
I go to Las Vegas from Phoenix at least once a month and sometimes more to play out on the Strip...read moreRolling like Frank25 November 2011
Frank,
I have to tell you I received a compliment tonight at Parx Casino. An Indian lady and her boyfriend were betting on my roll. I was right next to box and I rolled three points on 26 total rolls. I hit all the hardways, which they were betting...read moreA shuffle through the gaming mailbag24 November 2011
Q. I know that all the slots are computerized, but do they keep running when the machine is idle?
A. Yes, the random number generator runs continually, even when the machine is not being played.
That doesn't change the odds of the game, but it does have a couple of implications for players...read moreAsk the Slot Expert: Just one RNG?23 November 2011
We play at Turning Stone in Vernon, New York, an Indian casino. We like to play something called Easy Riches, which has 3 levels of progressive jackpots, depending on your bet amount. My question is, are all of the machines connected to the same RNG computer, so any machine could win any of the 3 jackpots or is the jackpot already programmed into a certain machine, so you would have had to be sitting at that machine to win that jackpot? You have probably had this question a million times :) So to sum it up is there one computer for all 12 machines or individual or both?
Turning Stone has Class II slot machines, so there is only one computer determining the outcomes on the slot machines...read moreCharting tells you the past, not the future22 November 2011 I'm a very patient person, and a very patient gambler in many respects.
I'm patient enough to practice blackjack and video poker strategies on the computer, and patient enough to stick to the strategies in the casino. I'm patient enough to wait for the count to turn favorable before raising my blackjack bets, regardless of whether I've been winning or losing...read moreThe short run is the long run21 November 2011 Now this might seem like a nutty idea but hear me out. Don't shake your head in disbelief or frown in disgust at my rationale for this column. Why? Because I am totally, completely, absolutely right in what I am about to tell you.
Too many gambling writers and Internet ploppies think there is something different in the short run as compared to the long run...read more |
