(I am re-sending this blog since many readers have noted that they no longer get an e-mail notice when a new blog is up, as it should if you have subscribed. There have been some technical problems, but hopefully they have been resolved.)
I have been gambling in casino with successful results for 33 years. Do I no longer need to read about this activity to continue being successful? Do I “know it all” by now?
The short and sweet answer to those questions: I spend just as much time researching and studying now as I did back when I first started. In fact, perhaps more! Although there is more information available now with the ever-expanding Internet, a wise gambler needs so much more to cope with a much more challenging casino environment.
Of course, I myself continue to add to this Internet flood of information available to gamblers. My latest contribution has been added to the very extensive American Casino Guide YouTube video series. In this interview, I talk about my new book, The Frugal Gambler Casino Guide, and the new focus I have in helping recreational players lose less and thus stretch their bankroll for longer casino entertainment time.

Here are some interesting gambling articles I have read recently.
1. Do you wonder how hackers have been able to manipulate slot machines to “pay on demand”? Read here about how criminals are working to foil the casino’s game security measures.
2. Do you remember playing the horserace games in casinos – or the ones that raced camels at the Luxor? Mark of Mark’s Las Vegas does and he gives a link to the R-J article that reminisces about this game.
3. Here is an excellent article about the numerous ways you can get an edge in blackjack. The only objection I have to this article is the title, “Beating Blackjack is Easy.” Perhaps this is a tongue-in-cheek title to catch our attention? Beating any game in a casino is never easy; it is one of the hardest tasks you will ever undertake. However, this article does give a very complete picture of the possible ways to take on this task and perhaps be successful.
4. My good friend John Grochowski can always be counted on to give very complete and accurate gambling information in whatever he writes. A good example is his recent article about new video poker games. While you are at this site, look around and you will find many helpful and interesting articles on various casino games and other gambling topics. I have contributed some articles here myself. You will recognize many of the authors as well-known experts in their field.

Thanks Jean for the good info. I read your blog about once a week
Jean,
My comments may be off topic, but I was wondering what ever happened to the Station Casinos plans to start an online gaming site similar to that of MGM’s My Vegas. If memory serves me correctly, you wrote about it several months ago, but I have yet to see any information on this project. Can you enlighten me with regards to their progress?
