Getting extra out of a slot machine host requires a bit of seduction. It’s the type of seduction common in sexual situations, only you keep your clothes on (I do, anyway!). Flattery, small gifts, gentle talk, and other niceties all have their place. For this reason, people usually do better with slot hosts of the opposite sex. I can flirt with a female slot host and get results, but the bonding I do with a male host doesn’t buy me as much. Slot Machine
Counting the Cards
Suppose you agree to take 9 1/11% the worst of it on every bet you make in a private Craps game. This is the same as agreeing to accept $1 every time you win and to payout $1.20 every time you lose. Anyone who bets in such a foolish manner often enough is a rank sucker, deserves exactly what he gets, and goes broke. These are the sort of sucker odds that the Craps hustlers offer and most players accept. Counting Cards
Casino Comparison
Comparing the casinos in Cannes to the casinos in Nice is like comparing Beverly Hills to the Bronx. The main casinos in Nice remind me of the old "sawdust joints" in which I worked many years ago on the East Coast. Those were what we called "come as you are clubs," with no rugs on the floor and a very casual atmosphere. If you want to visit a beautiful French casino, go to Cannes and forget about the casinos in Nice, unless you're bored to death and have nothing else to do. Casino Comparison
Bank Craps
Because of its one-way action Bank Craps remained a small-time banking game until John H. Wino, a dice maker by trade, decided to book the Craps game by permitting players to bet against him, either right or wrong, for a charge on each $5 bet made. This innovation made him the world's first Craps bookmaker. After several years of intensive searching for him throughout the United States, I finally located him in Australian City many years after he had retired as a professional bookmaker-and heard his firsthand story of how he transformed Private Craps into today's successful casino games of Bank Craps and Money (or Open) Craps.

For the $25 bettor who likes the 4 and 10, start with $25, than $75 then $150, $250, then $250 again, and, if you keep winning, add $50 bet until you lose or reach the club limit. Once you lose, always revert to your minimum bet. For the $50 bettor, $50, $150, $300, 5400, $400 again, $500. For the $100 bettor, 5100, 5300, $400, 5500. Betting Rules
Roulette Strategy
For tourists who want to spend a leisurely evening in an English or European casino and not tax their brains. I advise playing Australian style roulette. But treat French roulette. Which abounds in European and English casinos? as if it were fly paper and you were a fat. Sluggish fly. The percentages for Australian-style roulette are much better for the player in England than in most other world gambling centers. In Nevada, for example, "0" and "00" on the roulette table layouts increase the percentage for the club. But in England and in many European casinos. only "0" appears on the layout; the "00" has been eliminated. Roulette Strategy
Gambling Techniques
In the casino gambling where I am a consultant, players often come up to me and say, "Hey, Scarne, give me a system so I can beat this game." They all get the same answer: "If I knew any system that would overcome the house percentage, I would keep it strictly to myself. If you had a surefire winning system you would do the same." There is nothing more futile than the attempt to cook up betting systems that will overcome adverse odds. Gambling Techniques
Casino System
Many people are going to play systems in ever-increasing numbers regardless of what they are told. I see it every day in the casino. For that reason, I've collected the top systems in the world for you to use. There are only a few but some are proven systems played by pros and hustlers throughout the decades and it's with the greatest reluctance that I make them public. Casino Dealers
Casino Operation
Casino operations in America prior to 1932 were on a small scale. Every city and town had its back-alley dice games and smoke-filled card rooms, run usually by well-known local political figures or sportsmen. Most towns were wide open for gambling but, except for a few of the larger sawdust joints and a few elegant rug joints with a well to-do clientele, the gambling was not really organized. Each operator was on his own, and the cops and politicians had little or no idea of the earning power of online casino gambling. Casino Operation
Slot Tournaments
Invitational slot tournaments have a lot in common with invitational giveaways. Proven players are invited in for a few days and cash prizes are distributed among them. However, instead of earning drawing tickets via play on regular online casino machines, players compete by playing specially programmed slot machines. The high scores win the prizes. You can calculate your expected result in a slot tournament more easily than you can in a giveaway event, simply because it’s easier to predict the number of entrants in a tournament than it is to predict the number of tickets that will be in a barrel.
