The gambling world is full of a variety of players with different styles of play and varying rates of success. The fact of the matter is the house always has an edge, regardless of the game you play, which means that most gamblers go to casinos and lose money. Gambling for hours on end is taxing, and the results of each hand can swing emotions rapidly. The best gamblers don’t always come out on top, no matter how well they play. You can have a foolproof plan, play with perfect strategy, and still lose money. Casinos are full of gamblers…

I don’t know what state you live in or, for that matter, even if you live in the United States. Depending on where you live, a casino license might or might not matter. This post looks at some of the aspects of casino licensing that matter (or don’t), depending on where you live. It’s not meant to be a guide to legal issues. I’m not a legal professional. But I am good at evaluating risks, though, and that’s the approach I’m going to take in this post. What Is a Casino License? Some businesses, especially those that deal in “sin,”…

 August 3, 2020 Even as Nevada casinos fight their way back, the President of the Las Vegas Sands believes the economic hardships will continue until a vaccine is developed for COVID-19. In a recent interview, Robert Goldstein told reporters that he believes casinos across the state and in Las Vegas will struggle economically so long as the pandemic lasts. His comments come just two days after the announcement that the biggest technology show in America will be an online and not in Las Vegas, dealing another blow to the Las Vegas economy. “It’s clearly a difficult time for us ….…

Teams Runline Moneyline Total White Sox -1.5 (+140) -105 Over 9.5 (-110) Brewers +1.5 (-160) -105 Under 9.5 (-110) For now, the 2020 Major League Baseball season is moving forward. Commissioner Rob Manfred said over the weekend that he currently has no plans to pull the plug, so we still have baseball for the time being. That can certainly change any day at this point, but it’s safe to assume Monday’s slate of games will proceed as scheduled. We have a few interleague games on the schedule, including an intriguing matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox. The…

 August 2, 2020 Casinos in Las Vegas reopened just two months ago, but fears of Coronavirus lawsuits have them concerned a different sort of closure could be ahead. Now, the Nevada Resort Association is pushing lawmakers for legislation that will protect casinos from “unfounded” legal action against them related to COVID-19. The Resort Association said businesses that are “working responsibly and in good faith” should not be subjected to costly litigation. Since the June 4th reopening, casinos and resorts did implement safety plans with measures such as enhanced cleaning, social distancing guidelines and employee and guest temperature checks. The association…

I’ve written about countless variations of blackjack, but perhaps the easiest one to understand is multiple action blackjack, also referred to as multi-action blackjack. In fact, this variation is so straightforward that this post might be a little shorter than usual. Here’s what you need to know about multiple action blackjack. The Rules of Multiple Action Blackjack The rules for multiple action blackjack are the same as the rules for standard blackjack. The difference is that in multiple action blackjack, you get to play three rounds of blackjack with a single hand. And the dealer has the same up-card for…

I’ll cover several important concepts in this post and draw analogies between marble games and gambling.

Gambling in a Las Vegas casino inherently involves losing over the long run, thanks to carefully tailored probabilities and payout odds designed to provide the house with a statistical edge. Making a visit to Las Vegas and dropping a few bucks taking on the house is simply the price we gamblers pay for entertainment and enjoyment. It might not always return a profit, but the time we spend grinding is worthwhile for several reasons. Some gamblers enjoy the mental challenges and competitive nature that skill games provide. Others are just looking to let loose in hopes that lightning strikes. And…

With 6 decently sized river-boat casinos, the 14,000 seat Centurylink Center arena, historic Bossier Strip, also known in the music community as the Magic Circle due to the number of notable musicians who were born or got their start in the area, there isn’t a lack of things to do while staying in the Shreveport/Bossier City metropolitan area.

You’ll find out below, as I explain more on this type of slots and why they heavily populate the gambling industry. How Common Are Asian-Themed Slots? If you’ve walked around a brick and…

No location is better for card counting than Las Vegas. Sin City offers over 100 casinos where you can potentially count cards. With only seven casinos, Atlantic City doesn’t offer nearly the same number of advantage-play opportunities. Nevertheless, it still remains a potential counting destination. Atlantic City is especially interesting given that they have a unique rule that allows card counting. You can read about this rule below along with the viability of counting in this East Coast gambling hub. Atlantic City Can’t Bar Advantage Gamblers When you think of card counters, you may envision skilled gamblers being escorted out…

Since the dawn of civilization, there have been unique relationships between the world’s various religions and the act of gambling.

In fact, there are plenty of religions that don’t seem to mind if someone gambles socially. But in some faiths, gambling addiction is looked down upon, and there are others that don’t approve of gambling whatsoever. Here are five interesting facts about religion and gambling. 1 –…

 August 1, 2020 The Nevada Gaming Control Board recently investigated complaints against casinos over health and safety concerns, specifically in regard to face mask issues. Now, they have released the specific violations and the names and properties.
