You're an idiot!

19 March 2010
I sometimes receive compliments from readers on something that I write about blackjack. But I also sometimes receive scathing e-mails or letters that basically say what an idiot I am. Trust me when I say you have to have a tough skin to be in this business of writing about blackjack and casino gambling in general...read more

Is Atlantic City blackjack dying a slow death?

18 March 2010
We can remember going to Showboat in the 1990s and there were seemingly acres of blackjack tables. Same held true for every casino in Atlantic City. While there were always non-blackjack tables spread out here and there, if you said "table game," invariably you would be referring to blackjack. Now as you walk the somewhat empty floors where those hundreds of blackjack tables used to vie with one another for supremacy, you note dozens upon dozens of "new" table games such as Let It Ride, Caribbean Stud, Three-Card Poker, Four-Card Poker, Casino War, pai gow poker, mini-baccarat, Texas Hold'em Bonus, and others. True, the slot machines have essentially defined American casino gambling ever since 1984, when both Vegas and Atlantic City made more money for the first time from the machines than from the table games...read more

The Two Worlds of Casino Gambling

17 March 2010
Las Vegas is much more than the unofficial "Gambling Capital of the World." The city is really two gambling worlds in one. There are the mega resorts, which cater to the tourists and the high rollers, as well as the properties that have become known as "locals," which are casinos that build strong bases of regular customers among the area's residents and destination visitors. "Locals" casinos are well-known for their low-minimum table games, large inventories of video poker with strong pay tables, friendly staff and good food at affordable prices. U.S...read more

Three Card Poker pay tables

16 March 2010
Video poker players know the drill: To get the most possible out of the game, you have to check the pay table first. That's a lesson table games players need to learn, too, with the variety of available pay tables in the Pair Plus option of Three Card Poker. Pair Plus is easy, a bet that your three-card hand contains a pair or better...read more

Why gamblers can win with systems that don't work

15 March 2010
Aren't they maddening? Those slick pitches for gambling systems guaranteed to beat the house, with "bogus" written all over them? You'll be glad to know that few system touts get many takers. You might be surprised, though, to learn that folks who do buy or devise their own systems are often content with them...read more

Setting for the Seven on Comeout

13 March 2010
Hi Stickman, Something strange (I think). It is possible confusion or added length of a previous article "Effect of Odds". I quote: "A controlled shooter has the ability to reduce the appearance of the 7 thereby reducing the 2-1 edge on the come out." If you are going to take odds don't you at a very minimum chicken feed the come out? If a controlled shooter can set the dice to eliminate a 7, can't he set it to increase the appearance of it and not disrupt a rhythm? Miss Pipik Miss Pipik, "Chicken feeding" (throwing the dice down the table in a fashion that resembles someone feeding chickens) the come out roll is never done by a serious dice controller for a couple of reasons...read more
