Making "Cents" from Race Track Casinos in Illinois

12 September 2009
After years of heated debate revolving around the topic of gaming expansion in Illinois and the myriad legislation that was proposed, or bills presented that were voted down or never made it out of committee, I found it odd that the ultimate decision was to permit gambling in every neighborhood in the state. The bill to bring video gaming into bars and lounges was to me like the owners of Major League Baseball starting off with a debate over whether or nor to allow another franchise into the league and then deciding to expand to all 50 states. No wonder opponents of gambling are up in arms, and even some villages are contemplating barring their communities from participation. The mitigating circumstances, of course, revolved around the budget crunch and the need for additional revenue...read more

What the edge at craps actually means

10 September 2009
Too many dice controllers think that if you set the dice perfectly, aim them perfectly, throw them perfectly, spin them perfectly then the result will be what you want it to be — perfect. Unfortunately, that is not true. A perfect starting throw (most dice controllers do not have perfect starting throws but let's pretend) will not end up perfect when the entire throw is finished...read more

State-regulated casino gaming at Illinois race tracks in the form of racino legislation appears a long shot at the present time, but that didn't stop officials with Balmoral Park Race Track in Crete, Illinois from finding a way around it.

Video poker same rank draw experiment

8 September 2009
One of the first things I learned about video poker a couple of decades ago is that results are as random as humans can program a computer to be. There is no such thing as perfect randomness, but programmers can get close enough that we might as well say that every card has an equal chance of turning up on every deal and every draw. That's what I've been telling everyone who reads my column or who has heard me speak for going on 16 years now...read more

6 September 2009
I recently received the following e-mail from one of my readers: Hi Don, I've been reading about the "doey-don't" system of placing both a come and don't come (or pass and don't pass) wager. The books claim that this reduces the house edge on the standard line bet...read more

4 September 2009
Are the following statements about blackjack facts, or are they fiction?Referring to a strategy card when you play blackjack is perfectly legal.A blackjack player who misplays his hand will always cause other players to lose.The third base player can influence a dealer bust by the way he plays his hand.You should always take even money when you have a blackjack and the dealer shows an ace.Splitting a pair of 8s against a dealer 10 and ace is for suckers.A progressive betting system will overcome the house edge.You should always hit 16 against a dealer 10.The increase in the house edge when the casino only pays 6-5 for a blackjack is offset when only a single deck of cards in used.A player who enters a game in the middle of a shoe will alter the flow of the cards and cause the other table players to lose.If you see the dealer's hole card by accident and don't say anything, you are cheating.You need to be a genius in order to be a card counter.It doesn't matter how the casino shuffles the cards.You are cheating if you accept a winning bet that actually lost.If you lose five hands in a row you are due to win the next hand.It doesn't make any difference which seat you take when you play blackjack.Answers.Fact...read more
