Three Card Poker Strategy If you go to Page 5 of http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/catalog2011.pdf, you can zoom in and see what the cards look like. The Three Card Poker strategy card includes House Edge figures for different payout schedules. You ask WHO needs Basic Strategy for Three Card...

I guess we shouldn't be surprised. Soon, maybe we'll see signs advertising "A Whopping 11 to 10 on Blackjacks!" One of the casinos I frequent has $5 6D 6:5 CSM Blackjack, and you would be amazed how many green and black chippers are on these tables. What's more amazing is that there are 3:2...

Ha ha. I saw that a couple months ago. Very funny how they have a large sign that says "6/5 Blackjack" as if that is something to brag about. I'm surprised the shoe games don't have large signs saying "Dealer Hits soft 17 Blackjack"

I agree. If a gambler cared enough about the odds and good games vs. bad games, I don't think they would gamble at all. If a gambler cared about good games, they wouldn't step foot near a slot machine, buy a lottery ticket, etc. When was the last time you heard a civilian say "I'd play...

I saw an iTable once at a casino. It had a huge sign showing it was a new game. The table was dead. Three months later, the game was gone (clearly it flopped) and had been replaced with the new Rabit Hunter carnival game. Civilians like real cards and real chips. When will casinos and Shuffle...

I would say forget cover.

Shuffle Master actually introduced the King back in 1999 (see http://gaming.unlv.edu/abstract/fin_shfl.html). It is actually slower and less efficient than the newer one2six seen at most casinos. I do agree that civilians should avoid all CSMs and play only shoe games.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with what he is doing, I just think he should be careful because it could be considered fraud. And as for mispays, I'll return mine as soon as the casinos correct every payout error they have ever done in their favor. :)

I don't think this practice is cheating, however, I do think it would be considered fraud if the player's intent was to get paid on losing hands. According to Nevada gaming law NRS 465.070 Fraudulent acts: It is unlawful for any person to claim, collect or take, or attempt to claim, collect...

Slow games! I think they are beating themselves. Frequent shuffles due to poor pen, only 5 spots per table, and cash transactions almost every single round = low profits. This place is a comp hustler's dream! I swear every time you blink, a civilian is throwing low denomination bills on the...

It really surprises me for as busy and as large as Horseshoe is, that they only have 5 playing spots on their tables. Many of the tables are rather large, appearing to be former baccarat tables.

I don't think Gary is nearly as dangerous as it once was. It's mostly a ghost town now as the population has dropped from >200 to <100k people in recent decades. Surely it's not a pretty city, but I don't think the areas near the casinos are that bad. I've never felt unsafe in that part of...

Maybe it is only on busy nights because the only no MSE I saw on the main floor on a weeknight was on the $100 min games. Sadly, some civilians clearly will tolerate 6:5 BJ for a $5 min because those were the only crowded tables.

Agreed. It is very difficult not to throw bricks at Gov. Scott's mansion when driving by it in Naples...

It amuses me that you can go next door to Seminole Hollywood and play a $10 6D shoe game with MSE.
