Happy New Year!

For this month's podcast I interview syndicated gaming writer John Grochowski about new table games and slot/video poker machines introduced at the G2E (Global Gaming Expo) trade show this past November in Las Vegas.

Gaming authors Jean Scott and Henry Tamburin each contribute an article this month. Henry's 
story explains why you should avoid blackjack games that only pay 6-to-5 for blackjack and Jean's article gives tips for finding and using a casino host.
 
There's also a special story contributed by one of our newsletter subscribers about his adventures using coupons on a recent trip to Las Vegas.
 
We have some details on our upcoming "meet & greet" event in Las Vegas on March 9 and our "Casino Profile" feature this month takes a look at The Palms in Las Vegas.
 
Don't forget that as a subscriber to our newsletter you are eligible to enter a private poker tournament each month with over $1,200 in prize money. It's absolutely FREE with no money required to enter. Look in the column on the left side for more info.
 
And finally, be sure to vote for your favorite casinos for your chance to win one of 10 autographed copies of next year's American Casino Guide. Details are below.
 
We hope you enjoy these articles and we thank you for your interest in the American Casino Guide!

Sincerely,
Steve Bourie

Why You Should Avoid
6-to-5 Blackjack Games
By Henry Tamburin
 
There's an awful blackjack game that is spreading like wildfire in casinos throughout the US.
 
The game is played with a single deck of cards (that's the come-on) and when a player gets a blackjack, he is paid at 6-t0-5 instead of the traditional 3-to-2. 
 
That change in blackjack payoff increases the house edge by about 700% (Yikes!). Let me show you in dollars and cents what a 6-to-5 blackjack payoff costs you.
 
Finding and Using a Casino Host
by Jean Scott

For the dollar machine player, and in many casinos even for the frequent and/or heavy quarter player, using a casino host system will let them reap more comps than just tapping into slot club benefits or depending on mail offers.  

However, I have had more people tell me that they have played in casinos for years, have never seen a host, and wouldn't know if they fell over one in the aisle!
 
Casino Profile
Palms Casino Resort
Las Vegas, Nevada

In this month's casino profile we take a look at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
 
How I Became Santa Vegas
and Won $1,100

by Bobby Vegas
 

Bobby Vegas is the pseudonym for a midwestern casino player who enjoys visiting Las Vegas several times a year.

 

This story recaps his most recent visit to Sin City and the success he enjoyed while there.

 
See you next month!
