    “Buy” Bets in Craps

    Written by John Grochowski, Gaming

    Making a place bet on 4 — betting a craps shooter will roll a 4 before the next 7 — is a weak bet, with a house edge of 6.67 percent. Same deal if you place 10. The house edge is still 6.67 percent, and there are several bets at the craps table that are much better percentage plays.

That is the date for the annual candlelight vigil at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.  This year marked the 32nd annual vigil. I have always heard about it, and seeing that Graceland is just down the road from Tunica I decided to see for myself. (more…)

    Choosing a Coin Denomination on Video Slots

    Written by John Grochowski, Gaming

    A reader e-mailed me with her take on playing video slot machines.

    “I like to cover all the lines, although I can’t afford to bet $3 or $5 at a time on a ‘penny’ slot machine. I can’t bet 25 coins a line, but sometimes I’ll bet five a line. On a penny machine with 20 lines, that means I’m betting a dollar a spin.

    The “Even Money” Option in Blackjack

    Written by John Grochowski, Gaming

    In blackjack, if the dealer has an Ace face up when you’re dealt a blackjack, the dealer will ask if you want “even money.” If you wager $10, you’ll win $10 even if the dealer also has a blackjack. “The only sure thing in the house,” I’ve had dozens of dealers tell me.

    It’s a form of insurance, which is really a bet that the dealer has a blackjack. You’re offered insurance whenever the dealer has an Ace up. That allows you to make a wager half the size of your original wager. If the dealer has a 10-value card face down, your insurance bet pays 2-1.

    Tunica National Tennis Events in Full Swing!

    Written by Travel Tunica

    If you play tennis or just prefer hitting the ball back and forth, getting into tennis at Tunica National can be just what you need to stay in shape this fall.

    The most important reason for trying tennis at Tunica National is it is indoors on air-conditioned clay courts.  That means no sun in your eyes when serving, no sweltering heat, and low impact on your joints from the clay surface, so even if you are out of the swing of things, you will hurt less the next day.
