As of the moment I’m writing this, I will be in Las Vegas in 48 hours.  That means it’s Vegas crunch time.  Five Hundy coined the term ‘Vegas Lent’ for the 40 days leading up to a Vegas trip and how that’s when you get really excited in start planning.  If 40 Days is Vegas [...]

It took a while to ease into the week after spending the weekend in San Francisco. San Fran immediately became one of my favorite cities in the country. I can’t wait to go back! Back in Vegas, I was looking at jury duty for the first time but that was cancelled and if you follow [...]

Just Horsing Around

Sigma Derby Small

There are certain things that make or break machine casino games for me.  I always prefer tables, but sometimes it’s fun to just sit at a machine and relax.  For me, this normally means video poker.  But with video poker pay tables getting increasingly worse, I’ve had to stretch my wings.  I tried slots, but [...]

Royal Flush!

Royal Flush Video Poker Small

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 [...]

Planet Hollywood View of CityCenter Small

I used to take notes when I went on trips to Atlantic City and even sometimes in Las Vegas but I haven’t done it in a while. Last week a friend was in town and I took notes and caught much of what I did. As always there are a couple holes in my memory, [...]

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 [...]

M Resort Small

There was a time when if you were at bar in Las Vegas and the bar had Video Poker machines, you could make a reasonable assumption that your drinks would be comped, so long as you were max betting those Video Poker machines.  Those days are dwindling.  It seems that with every new trip to [...]

Golden Nugget Atlantic City Video Poker

Golden Nugget Atlantic City Small

I’ve had quite a few conversations about how video poker at the Golden Nugget Atlantic City is going to be and it’s just as I suspected – meh.  There are no playable games at the quarter level, but they have a few playable machines at the $1 and $2 level. 99.54% JoB 1-2-3-4-6-9-25-50-800 JoB (FP) [...]
