Close Call Blackjack Hands

While playing blackjack one morning, I ran into one of those situations we all see from time to time. One player was making unconventional plays. And it was driving another player nuts. Sometimes Mr. Unconventional would stand on 12 against a dealer’s 4, as the basic strategy chart says to do, and sometimes he’d hit. Sometimes he’d hit 16 against a 10, and sometimes he’d stand.

Casino Spotlight: Good Eats at Hollywood Casino

In our last Hollywood Casino spotlight we promised to bring you the scoop on awesome food at Hollywood Casino. Let’s dig in! Well, what can I say? I like to eat, and on my latest trip to Tunica, Hollywood Casino's Fairbanks Steakhouse seriously hit the spot.  My biggest shock occurred when I traveled upstairs from the casino floor and stepped in the entrance. I felt like I had completely left the casino and gone somewhere entirely different. If it had not been for the windows that overlooked the casino floor, I might have had to go back downstairs just to…

Should you Just Keep One Pair in Video Poker Games?

When my wife Marcy and I go to a casino together, we usually spend some time playing video poker side-by-side. Her real casino love is the penny slots, for the animation and entertainment, but video poker is next. (more…)
