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 […]

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 […]

Games I Prefer
Generally, I’m going to play the game that returns the most — including slot club, promotions, and mailer. Sometimes, however, I have a choice between a few different games that return about the same amount. Here is my approximate ranking — your mileage may vary. Hundred Play > Fifty Play > Ten Play > Five […]
If Bob Dancer is Playing . . .
A few years ago, for several days in a row, I was hammering a $5 Five Play 9/6 Double Double Bonus game. This game returns 98.98% and it is very un-Dancer-like to play so much on a game that bad. I received an email from somebody I didn’t know asking me why I was playing […]
