New Year's resolutions11 January 2011 Over the course of a year, I give a lot of advice to gamblers. Split aces and eights against any dealer up card in blackjack, but not fives or 10s. Stay away from the one-roll propositions in craps. Break up a full house that includes three aces to go for the big payoff in any video poker game that pays 800 credits or more for four aces on a five-coin bet.
Behind the advice for specific games and situations, there are some underlying principles...read moreStar Trek mission over at LVH?10 January 2011
Star Trek Slot Machines -- Love them, but they disappeared from the Las Vegas Hilton. Is there some address that tells you what casinos have your favorite slot machines?
This is terrible news. I've spent many hours going where many slot players have gone before playing the Trek machines at the Las Vegas Hilton...read moreHopping the 99 January 2011
Dear Frank:
I'm too much of a piker to ever lay more than $5 on it but I typically roll 6-3 on the hop. Sure it's a sucker bet but if I don't seven out you can usually count on me to roll it as I have correctly called it 2-3 times on a given night...read moreOdds of Being Dealt a Royal Flush8 January 2011
I am not an expert on the laws of probability, so I am confused by your statement that there are four royal flushes in 2,598,960 hands, and therefore your odds of getting a royal are one out of 649,740. Is this a correct statement, or is it something totally different, that never changes, four out of 2,598,960?
The reason I ask is that I know if I buy one lottery ticket, and my chance is 1 in 29,000,000 of winning the grand prize, if I buy 10, my chance is 10 out of 29,000,000, NOT 1 out of 2,900,000...read more![]() 7 Money Management Tips7 January 2011 Money management cannot change the house edge of any casino game, but it can help you have a more enjoyable casino visit.

Hello Mr. Scoblete,
I've purchased and read your book Beat Blackjack Now! The Easiest Way to Get the Edge and I am very grateful for the advice on blackjack and can't wait to put everything you've written to use.
I do however need some clarification about one thing...read moreCasinos Demand That Slots Earn Their Keep5 January 2011 Have you ever thought about the abundance of sensory stimulation in a casino that's purposely created to get you in the mood to gamble?
The electronically generated chorus of the slots and the ornate and brightly illuminated signage combine to make a dance with Lady Luck almost impossible to resist.
The design of gaming floors and the placement of machines and tables is a perpetual work in progress for casino executives, whose primary objective is to generate maximum revenue from the product that's in place.
It's a particularly intensive enterprise at casinos in Illinois, where space is at a premium and there's a state-imposed restriction on the number of gaming positions (1,200)...read moreNew video poker at G2E 20104 January 2011 IGT has been the king of video poker since … well … ever since there's been video poker. The 2010 Global Gaming Expo at the Las Vegas Convention Center was ample demonstration of that. While video poker director John Daley showed off IGT's latest attractions, none of the other established slot manufacturers introduced anything new in video poker.
Several manufacturers included well-established poker games on multigame machines, especially those displaying games intended for bars and restaurants in Illinois, if and when final approval for such games comes.
But aside from IGT, the only manufacturer showing anything novel in video poker was a newbie, Incredible Technologies...read moreDid this slot machine malfunction?3 January 2011
Hi John,
I was doing a search on here about slot machine malfunctions. I was at a casino today in Michigan with my boyfriend, and it was in the bonus mode. It was on the last spin of I think 12. It gave him quite a bit. It was a penny machine...read more5-Count and removing odds bets2 January 2011 Frank,
There is one aspect on the 5-Count that I would appreciate clarification on.
Let's say you've reached the 5-Count and the shooter makes his point number. The shooter then rolls a 7 on the come-out roll. He rolls a point number of 5, then rolls three consecutive craps numbers...read more |
