Since I live in Chicago, I keep my eye out for any gambling related news that would pertain to the city.  There’s plenty of casinos in the Chicago area (all in suburbs) but none in the city proper.  I’ve talked before how Chicago could get a downtown casino owned and run by the city, but [...]

Before I head out to a new casino I like checking the video poker pay tables and my upcoming trip to Harrah’s Laughlin is no different. I’m only two hours away from Laughlin and haven’t had the chance to check it out and I’m looking forward to it. Harrah’s Laughlin used to be a place [...]

For Thanksgiving my family decided to celebrate in New Orleans.  I have relatives down there and everyone else met there to celebrate.  Being the cooperative group of people they are, they agreed to accompany me to Harrah’s New Orleans one evening.  After getting killed on blackjack, I settled into some Video Poker.  It was located [...]

Last Friday, after my mini-vacation, I headed over to Red Rock Casino for happy hour at LBS Burger and the Lifehouse concert. I had a little time to kill so I decided to play a little video poker. Go figure. I had a few bucks leftover from my trip to the strip so I decided [...]

Todd Brunson 4 Aces x 50 Small

Poker pro Todd Brunson (son of Doyle Brunson, in case you don’t know) was taking a break from the tables and decided to play a little video poker.  One hand at a time is pretty boring so he played $1 50 hand Double Bonus Poker (I think), which puts $250 in play at once.  I’m [...]

I spent the weekend at Planet Hollywood (again) so I could drink and see some old pals.  In between good times and table gaming I got some quality video poker in.  I’ve shared some of what happened on my posterous over the weekend, but wanted to document on ECG.  I use posterous to document my [...]
