Between the new bars, restaurants and the new hotel the plans for this downtown casino seem as big as a lot of the Vegas strip casino openings. In total, Vegas Chatter says there will be 17 bars and restaurants [...]

Vegas Strip at Night

I love the Vegas strip. There’s no place in the world like it. There never has been and there never will be. It’s awesome. That said, the strip has been changing a lot from when I first started visiting Las Vegas for bettor better and worse. Right now the center of the Vegas strip is where you’ll find [...]

Slot Machine Myths

by Marc February 14, 2013
Slot Machines

I wrote an article for Gaming Today offering some basic slot machine strategy this week. As I mention in that article there really isn’t much strategy involved with slot machines since they are programed by a random number generator (RNG) chip. While each spin is random and independent the pay tables are predetermined and there’s [...]

Michael Jackson Slot Machine

I look at a lot of gaming statistics but I don’t remember seeing information for slot machines that provided specific information to what games were played the most.

Atlantic City Becoming Less Relevant Every Minute

Atlantic City Casinos at Night
