Just
say NO to keno
-- Dear Mark:
Though I'm not a keno player, my favorite casino
offers a Special Bonus Keno ticket. All I have to
do is hit 19 out of 20, and I win $250,000. Is this
ticket worth a try? Marti S… more»
Las
Vegas is Cheapskate City
-- Dear Mark,
I received an advertisement in the mail that offered
a book of coupons that I can use on my next trip
to Las Vegas. They wanted $4.95 for $200 worth of
coupons. Is that a good deal? Terry C… more»
Mission
accomplished
-- Dear Mark,
I go to Atlantic City about two times a month, stay
overnight and lose a bundle. I just love it. My
question: I play a "Reel-em-in" 25-cent
slot machine. Now you can bet up to 45 quarters
on these machines. Well, after losing so much money,
I found these same machines in the nickel denomination.
Now I find that I can play 45 nickels and it is
only $2.25 a hand compared to $11.25 a hand on quarter
machines. Would it be better to play a dollar slot
with 2 coins in ($2) or play the nickels at $2.25
with 45 nickels in? Same with the quarter slots.
Play with 45 quarters at $11.25 a hand or play a
$5 slot with 2 coins in ($10.00)? I always thought
the higher the denomination machine, the better
your chances of winning. Please give me your feedback.

Mistakes
shouldn't cause problems
-- Dear Mark,
I was in Atlantic City last week minding my own
business on a blackjack game, when a player started
verbally insulting me on how I played my hands.
He told me I was ruining his hands and always taking
the dealer's bust card. Do I really have that much
control over the outcome of the game? Helen L… more»
Mutual
funds versus blackjack
-- Dear Mark,
I've always felt that being in the stock market
is the same as playing blackjack. They're both gambling.
I might as well do something I love instead of giving
some investment company my money to flush down the
toilet. You're in gambling, do you agree? Ralph

I learned craps from my father, who learned it from
his dad. We play your recommended pass line bet
along with continual betting on the seven to hedge

that logic. Please explain. Marvin B… more»
