Well, my birthday has arrived again and I looked through my birthday offers and found several that you can use in the Las Vegas area. My next trip coincides with my birthday so I will get to use birthday offers in Las Vegas. To get these offers, go to the company website, sign up on […]

Why Do Casinos Do That?
In a December 26 post on gamblingwithanedge.com, someone named Sandy asked the (slightly abbreviated) following: Apparently, EV is only positive in VP when you factor in comps. But comps and maybe other rewards that aren’t strictly “comps” as APs define it, are voluntary payments by casinos. You can’t complain to the Gaming Commission or Control […]
You got a question?
Bob and I will be taping another of our “listener email” shows on Monday. If you have questions you can put them here in the comments section, or email us at [email protected].
What’s Going On?
On a recent videopoker.com forum post in mid-December, one member, “George,” posted the following. It was in a thread that at the time was discussing players offering advice to players who sit next to them: For the last few weeks, I’ve been hitting one particular promo spread among a few casinos. I’m going to guess […]
If You Weren’t Such a Hypocrite . . .
Periodically I receive a version of the following email: Mr. Dancer: I have read your books and practiced on Video Poker for Winners. I’m a really good player. I live in Las Vegas and can see there are good games to play — except I simply do not have the bankroll to play at the […]
Is There a Different Strategy and How Can I Be ...
This is a continuation of last week’s column. You may wish to read that one before you start here. I actually suggested you do some homework between then and now. I understand that many of you did not do the homework (it’s not too late!) but those of you who did will get more out […]
Is There a Different Strategy and How Can I Be ...
One of the casinos I play at is Dotty’s, which is a chain of more than 100 15-machine outlets all across Nevada, plus a few larger ones. There are perhaps 10 of them within 10 miles of my home. One of the promotions that attracts me relates to W2Gs. Every week, 10% of the W2Gs […]
If That’s Random, You Can Bite Me!
This column is inspired by an email I received about 20 years ago, when TITO tickets weren’t found everywhere. I don’t have the email in front of me, but I remember the gist of it and certainly the line that I’m using as a title. For the rest, I’m using some artistic license that I […]
Whose Responsibility Is It?
For the November 16 Gambling with an Edge podcast, Richard and I welcomed David Clary, author of the book Gangsters to Governors: The New Bosses of Gambling in America. That podcast speaks for itself and I’m not covering here what we talked about on the podcast. The last chapter of the book, called “Double or […]
You’re Upsetting Our Players
In 1999, I started communicating with “Richard,” the marketing director of the Laughlin Flamingo hotel. (Today the same property is called the Aquarius, and it may change names again because the parent company is in the process of changing owners.) Richard knew my name because I wrote columns for Strictly Slots and Casino Player, both […]
