In this month's podcast I speak to the frugal gambling expert, Jean Scott, about how to get the most for your money when visiting a casino. As usual, Jean gives some excellent tips on how to stretch your gambling dollar to the max.
In our "Casino Profile" section we head south of Las Vegas to take a look at one of the largest casinos in Laughlin, Nevada: Harrah's.
Our guest gaming writer this month is John Grochowski who offers his advice on how strategy changes are needed when video poker players choose to bet less than maximum coins.
Look below for details on our new hotel reservations page with many rates guaranteed to be the lowest and backed by a 110% price guarantee.

March Podcast - How To Get The Most For Your Money When Visiting A Casino with Jean Scott
The American Casino Guide has a new podcast show each month. Hosted by American Casino Guide author, Steve Bourie, each podcast runs about 30 minutes and features Steve interviewing a knowledgeable guest from the world of casino gambling.
For the March podcast, Steve interviews The Frugal Gambler author, Jean Scott, on "How To Get The Most For Your Money When Visiting A Casino."
They discuss ways to save money when planning the trip; how to take advantage of players clubs and promotions; using coupons; and choosing the best games for maximum comps.
American Casino Guide author Steve Bourie interviewed Jean Scott, co-author of Tax Help for Gamblers, in a previous podcast about the tax implications for gamblers.
They discussed what ID is needed to claim winnings; which forms you receive from the casinos, how to keep a gambling diary; how to declare wins and losses on your tax forms; state tax liabilities; and more.
When I write about house edges and game strategies, I try to leave no hidden assumptions. When I tell you 9-6 Jacks or Better video poker returns 99.5 percent, I'm careful to add "with expert play." If you don't play at expert level, you won't get 99.5 percent.
I don't just tell you that blackjack has a house edge of half a percent in a six-deck game. I add that it's half a percent against a basic strategy player, and that the edge can be a little more or less depending on house rules. If you don't know basic strategy, you're fighting a bigger house edge, and if the blackjacks pay only 6-5 instead of 3-2... well, don't play.
But there are times when I make assumptions and don't even realize I'm doing it. One I've been thinking about has to do with video poker strategy. When I detail strategy for holding and drawing cards, I make an assumption that you're betting maximum coins - five on most machines - and getting the best the machine has to offer.
