    Mimic the Dealer Blackjack Strategy

    Written by John Grochowski, Gaming

    While playing blackjack, I noticed a player hitting on ever 16 and under, and standing on every 17 and above, just like the dealers do. “If it’s good enough for the dealer, it’s good enough for me,” he said. (more…)

    Culinary Getaway in Greenwood, MS

    Written by Lisa Konupka for Travel Tunica

    Although I have been living here in the Mississippi Delta for several years now, I am still amazed with how much there is to see and experience here. I recently had the opportunity to spend a weekend in Greenwood, MS and let me tell you, if you want a romantic weekend or a girls getaway, this is the place (besides Tunica, or course). (more…)

    Stacking Chips in a Wager, Smallest Denominations on Top

    Written by John Grochowski, Gaming

    The first time I ever played table games in a casino — and this goes back a few decades — I watched while another blackjack player pushed a stack of different colored chips into the betting circle. I’m not quite sure what he had out there, but if memory serves there were green $25 chips, red $5 chips and white $1 chips all willy-nilly in the stack. (more…)

    Betting Less Than the Max at Video Poker

    Written by John Grochowski, Gaming

    An old friend of mine is an occasional video poker player. He likes to play the game, but he doesn’t really like to risk money. In his lifetime, he’s drawn three royal flushes, one on a dollar game, and two on quarters. Every time, he’d wagered only one coin, meaning his jackpot was 250 coins instead of the 4,000 that comes with a five-coin wager. (more…)

    Spring into Something New in Tunica

    Written by Chrissy Garner for Travel Tunica
