If you play basic strategy at blackjack, you’ll hit 16 if the dealer’s face-up card is 7 or higher. But players often tell me they can’t bring themselves to hit 16 when the dealer shows a 7.
As one player put it, “I hit 16 against 10, but when it’s 16 against 7, I figure the dealer has a pretty good chance to bust.” (more…)
A friend of mine called last night to ask if I wanted to go to dinner. My first response was no, considering the impending weather. After a few minutes of convincing (her telling me she won a bunch of money at the casino and it was burning a hole in her pocket), I gave in and headed to Fitz Casino Tunica to eat at Don B’s steakhouse.

With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season now over and cabin fever now setting in, I decided to take a mini vacation away from it all for the night. I couldn’t decide where I wanted to go, but I knew I needed a little rest and relaxation, a little fun and maybe a little special treatment would also be nice. I decided I would venture over to Hollywood Casino. It’s a short drive from Memphis and I had not visited the casino yet, so I figured, why not? (more…)
Let’s take a spin through a long-standing slot machine myth, one that I’m asked about several times a year.

On many video poker games — Double Bonus Poker, Double Double Bonus Poker, Super Aces and more — most four of a kind hands pay 250 coins for a five-coin bet. A friend was surprised recently when casino with high pay tables overall had games that paid only 239 coins on those quads.

If you visit our offices at the Tunica Visitor Center anytime soon, you will see construction. You’ll also see a historic Mississippi wood frame train depot, built at the end of the 19th century, that was moved recently from Dundee, Mississippi, to be renovated and become the Gateway to the Blues Visitor Center.

The first time I ever encountered Crapless Craps, also called Never-Ever Craps, was back in the 1980s in Las Vegas, at a place called Vegas World that since has made way for the Stratosphere Tower. Since then, I’ve seen the game in Mississippi and Minnesota. It’s not a casino standard, but it pops up from time to time.
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we have put all specials and promotions in one place, so you can spend your special day with your special someone in Tunica! Here are the posted specials we compiled for you: (more…)
