What Now?
Las Vegas casinos have become more aggressive at booting video poker players than they used to be. A number of pros and semi-pros, including myself, are down to a small number of places where they can play unrestricted. Or sometimes, play at all. Some players have no places left in town that welcome their action […]
A September to Remember
September was the first month for which a cross-state comparison of sports betting revenue was truly viable. Now that the Nevada numbers are finally out for September, we have data from a full month of wagering in five different states: Delaware, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, and West Virginia. I thought it might be fun to […]

How Do You Approach It?
I’m always on the lookout for non-video poker situations that I can turn into video poker teaching moments. It’s the only way I can continue to produce a weekly column after all these years.

Why I do what I do
I was asked on the GWAE radio show one time why I play for fairly low stakes ( mostly quarter video poker) in Las Vegas. I live in the Detroit area and flying to Las Vegas entails quite a bit of time and effort. My expected value on most trips is modest, definitely under $1000, […]
Another Round of Progress
It’s been a couple months since we last recapped where various states are in the sports wagering legalization process. We currently have six states offering legalized sports betting: Nevada, Delaware, New Jersey, Mississippi, West Virginia, and New Mexico. When will we see the next state open up? Where does your state stand? Let’s skip all […]
Learning a Second Game — Part II of II
Last week I began a discussion of learning NSU Deuces Wild once you already knew 9/6 Jacks or Better. If you missed that article, it’s not hard to find. If you’re going to or from a game covered by the Dancer/Daily Winners’ Guide series, that’s by far the most efficient place to start. You can […]
