Where She Drops, Nobody Should Know

Dear Mark: Do casinos have policies regarding the minimum number of revolutions a roulette ball should make before dropping off the track? What would be considered too few? If the roulette wheel stops moving before the ball lands in the pocket or stops in less than a quarter of a revolution after the ball lands in the pocket would that be cause for concern?

Consider the follow... Read More

Some dealers have blackjack strategy know-how, others do not

Dear Mark: I wanted to comment last week about dealer's giving blackjack advice. My experience is that all they have ever given is bad advice. The soft 18 you mention this week is the prime example. Not only do I have everyone at the table angry at me for hitting an 18, the dealer usually chimes in that I shouldn't have done that or trying to talk me out of it wh... Read More

Stepmother has a false notion on how slots work

Doubling up on bets and hopes

Dear Mark: I like to play the double-up option on a video poker machine and I have a few questions about that bet. One, is it a good bet to make, being that it seems like a 50/50 proposition to me, and two, I was also wondering if I would get the next five cards out of the deck if I didn’t make a double-up wager? Randy E.

What Randy's enquiring mind wants to know regards a video poker m... Read More

The too-good-to-be-true electronic IHTD (Impending Hit Tip-off Device) is still a work in progress

Dear Mark: Is there a way you can you tell if a slot machine is going to hit? Should I stay on my favorite machine if it's not paying? Anna P.

If only we knew which slot was going to hit when, then we'd all be rolling in dough -- for one day; on the morrow, there'd be no more casinos.

Sorry, Anna, there's no way t... Read More
