Hitting a royal on Let It Ride

11 April 2009
Actually this is a card game question. I love to play Let It Ride, even though I have heard all the reasons not to play, house edge etc. I normally bet $5-10 each hand plus bet the bonus. I have two questions to ask. Assuming I am in Las Vegas at Harrah's, Bally's or MGM and I get lucky enough to hit a Royal Flush with normal amount bet plus the bonus, 1st question: Is this taxable? 2nd question is do they give you all in cash or a check? Thanks for your help...read more

Dear slot director

9 April 2009
I just realized something about myself. I am a dolt when it comes to slot machines. Yes, a complete and utter dolt. I have my fellow Strictly Slots columnist Frank Legato to thank for this revelation. He doesn't know that he is the one who has allowed me to realize something very important about the slot machines — or, rather, the buying and/or renting of slot machines by the casinos' slot directors...read more

A shuffle through the gaming mailbag

7 April 2009
Q. I have a question about strategy that you didn't answer in your Deuces Wild columns. If I'm dealt four parts of a flush and four parts of a straight in the same hand, is it always better to go for the flush? With 4 of clubs, along with 5, 6, 7 and 10 of hearts, should I automatically hold the four hearts, or go with 4-5-6-7? A...read more

Thoughts on two lucky slot players

4 April 2009
Hello, I desperately need your opinion on this situation. First of all go to the website [Soaring Eagle casino in Michigan] and click on the winners tab and look for "Randy P" select each month to see the winners and you will notice that he wins on average $100,000.00 dollars or more a month!!!!! So my question is "how is this possible"? Yes, he plays high-stakes slots usually $10 slots and $25 slots and his wife "Angie P" also wins a bunch!! I have read that slots are a terrible gamble and will take all your money and for me I never win anything hardly at all and the same with all my friends who play $1, $5, and $10 dollar slots but "Randy P" and "Angie P" always WIN!! How can someone win $100.000.00 a month on slots!!!! when they are designed to take your money and how does the casino allow this..?? Please google Soaring eagle casino in mt...read more

Interpreting House Edge, Part I

3 April 2009
In general terms the house edge is a statistic that tells you how much of the money that you wager is going to be retained by the casino.
