How it Should Be Done
I was playing video poker at a Dotty’s — a chain of 15-machine bar/casinos where I can still eke out an edge. I was playing high stakes for there ($50 a hand) at about 4 a.m. one Sunday morning, sitting off in a corner where the rest of the place spread out before me. Directly […]
Travel and Birthday savings
The corona virus is the hottest news topic lately. This post isn’t to discuss the Corona 19 virus but to discuss how it is affecting travel and travel costs. I have a trip to Las Vegas on 3/19 – 3/24. Because March Madness is going on, rental car prices were pretty high. I was around […]

Is it Good for Me or Good for Us?
Not too long ago, here I wrote an article about when to hold a kicker to three aces while playing a Double Double Bonus progressive. The thumbnail conclusion was that if four aces pay 800 coins, and the aces-with-a-kicker (AWAK) progressive is at least 2285 coins, from a hand like AAA53, you should hold AAA3. […]

What Time Is It?
It was approaching midnight recently as I played a progressive at a Las Vegas casino. This was a casino that changed multipliers every day, and today I was receiving the highest possible multiplier. Tomorrow my multiplier was likely to be smaller. It didn’t have to be, but I wouldn’t know what it would be until […]
