A ‘participation award’ is one you get just for being there — whether you win or lose. There are people who believe that when raising children, winning and losing isn’t so important, but participation is. With that in mind, there are some sports leagues for children where every player gets a trophy at the end […]

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 […]
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 […]
Understanding a Flow Chart in Super Double Bonu...
Super Double Bonus is a version of Double Bonus where four jacks, queens, and kings earn 600 coins instead of 250 and the straight flush returns 400 instead of 250. The best-paying version, which returns 45 for the full house and 25 for the flush, returns 99.695% when played well. When combined with a decent […]
The Las Vegas Massacre and Me
Many of us are sick and tired of discussing the terrible events of October 1 and the speculation afterwards of what made this unhinged man do what he did. If that’s where you are and you want to skip this article, I won’t blame you. Once it was discovered that Stephen Paddock played video poker, […]
How Much Does It Cost?
Recently I posted an article concerning winning a Louis Vuitton handbag at an invited-guest event at the M casino. I said that I had played $100,000 in coin-in before the drawing so that I would continue to receive invitations to such events in the future. Nobody told me that $100,000 in play was required. There […]
