I have discussed abandoned credits and found TITOs on the GWAE podcast in the past. Typically, if I find a few credits on a machine, I will cash out the ticket. If I find a significant amount on a machine, I will cash out the ticket and wait around for 15 minutes to see if […]

Shake Rattle Roll, and Don’t Get Burned
With Earthquakes, house fires & menacing paintings it’s a miracle this pair are alive to tell this weeks stories. Hot Aussie Chick is terrified beyond comprehension by her possibly possessed mother (don’t ask, listen). The duo bring superstition & luck into question over the latest happenings. Daylight robbery and actual murder for casino winnings (yes, […]
Least Favorite Type of Promotion
Casinos have promotions all the time. Some are very useful to the winning player (such as point multipliers) and some are basically useless (such as 2-for-1 Margaritas during happy hour on Tuesdays.) Today I want to write about what promotions I like the least and invite you to respond. Wherever you originally read this article, […]

What’s Your Take?
Bonnie and I were recently returning from a cruise and were waiting in the Fort Lauderdale airport for our flight home. We were sitting next to some Vegas friends who were on the same cruise — a man and his wife, their 13-year-old son and their 11-year-old daughter. I was absorbed in a book and […]
Which Game Should I Play?
Bonnie and I were attending a square dance convention where we had to stay for two nights. Close to the dancing venue was a Harrah’s Casino. Having Seven Stars status within the Caesars Entertainment system gets me a room “for free,” but a certain amount of play is expected. I don’t have to play every […]
How Good Am I Today Compared to the Way I Was i...
In 2001, I had my only year ever where my video poker net score exceeded $1 million. Much of that was taking advantage of a few casinos whose managers were arithmetically challenged, combined with being over-royaled on big denomination machines. In 2019, I have relatively few places that welcome my action. Casinos are faster at […]
Reasonably Ready
A little more than two years ago, I wrote an article called “You’re Not Ready Yet” which may be found here. The article described “Joe,” a player who wished to hire me as a mentor. In the article, I told him that he didn’t have enough experience yet. He should go and study the Winner’s […]
Counting it Once or Twice
In June, the South Point is having a “Half Price Gas & Goods” promotion. This is a promotion that, with slight variations, is run there one month a year. The way it works is that you play enough to earn $25 in cash or free play, namely $8,334 of coin-in because the cash or free […]
I Can’t Help
I keep strange hours. Sometimes I’m up all night. Sometimes I’m up all day. Overall, I get my sleep, but nobody knows at any given time of day whether I’ll be awake or not. At about 2 a.m. on a recent night, I was writing an article when I received a text message from a […]
