One thing I like to stress to players trying to learn the games is that the odds are unchanging. No matter how long it's been since a 7 was last rolled in craps, the odds are 1 in 6 on the next roll, and no matter how long it's been since the ball landed on 00 in roulette, the odds are 1 in 38 on the next spin. The exception is blackjack. There the odds change on every hand as cards are dealt and removed from play until the next shuffle. Not long ago, I received an email from a…

Skill-based gaming is a niche slot machine manufacturers hope to grow, especially as young players who grew up on video games come of age.  There are many approaches to attracting new gamblers, with one innovative new product being Konami Gaming's Beat Square, expected to roll out early in 2018. Instead of traditional slot reels, Beat Square has 16 buttons arranged in a 4-by-4 grid. Konami has a selection of modern, rhythmic music, and when you make your bet, buttons on the grid light up in time to the music. Your task is to hit the buttons as they light up…
