Thanks for the replies. There are a few things I'm still unclear about. It appears that the strategy is to minimize the number of spins because the slots are obv. -EV. So if the biggest machine I find is $100, with max 5 credits, i would play 3 spins at max credits and hope to hit something...

Local casino offering the following promo: 100% refund on slot losses in 24 hr period between $100 - $1500. Video poker not allowed. Refund payed with slot dollars (which presumably may be used on video poker). Other annoyances which don't affect the EV include getting paid in 3...

The problem seems to be that, it's agreed that the chances for BJ on the first hand in a SD is higher than tha chances for a BJ for the first hand in 8D, but it's not clear that it stays higher on any given hand. How can this misunderstanding be cleared up?

Forgive me and please redirect if this post is found elsewhere on the site. A friend of mine, a math major, has a hard time believing that one of the main reasons that the house edge is lowered as the number of decks decrease, (assuming the same rules) is because of the higher frequency of...

My friend insists that the house edge on all outside bets in American roulette (Atlantic City) is half the 5.26% edge on inside bets, because only half the outside bet is lost when 0 or 00 hits. Is this correct or is the house edge the reputed 5.26% anywhere on the layout?

I should have specified that if you double or split, only half your total wager gets doubled, i.e. only the amount you bet in cash, and not the MP. So a $10 MP which gets paid 20 when won, gets paid 30 and not 40. Is doubling still correct?

If you use the matchplay for BJ,is is right to double or split, or just hit or stand?

Please forgive if this has been answered before. What are the chances of 4 deuces or better losing to a better hand in Texas Hold'em, using both hole cards?

Going to be in the Chicago area this weekend and I wanted to get in some time at the poker table. Any Chicago area casinos with decent poker rooms? thanks

I know this is probably a simple probability question but here goes... What are the chances of at least one of 3 specific cards appearing on the flop? (e.g., probability of at least one Ace, King or Queen in 3 draws from a standard deck.) Someone was offering even money that any one...

What do you think tipped them off that you were counting? And what exactly were the counter-measures?

I'm sure this is commonly known but I'm having trouble getting the answer... What are the chances of drawing a wheel, A2345 (in any order), in 7 cards from a standard deck?

Title is self-explanatory, any casinos in Orlando area?

What are the chances of losing with Aces full of jacks, or with a higher ranking hand to an even higher hand?

When I heard the rumor I was naturally skeptical, so thanks for clearing that up.
