1. Contact Casinos USA by voicemail, twitter, and Facebook Group. Check out our website that archives all of our podcasts: www.casinosusa.bet.  Link to report on the longest documented craps roll in a casino in the USA from the Borgata in 2009 (154 rolls, 4 hours, 18 minutes). 

2. Dice Setting Influence, probably, likely at times — Dice Control, get real, no way… Check out a few of our favorite dice sets on our webpages and Facebook posts.   

3. Nevada Gaming Board reports on Nevada Casinos’ total of monthly gaming wins in February, 2019, which just over a Billion dollars in ONE MONTH. Still snow storms hurt Reno area casinos in February. Nevada Slot Machines (135,000 of them) made 600 million in casino wins in February, Table games made 403 million casino wins in February. Super Bowl casts big wins for Nevada Sports Books on prop bets. Growth of Sports Books in several states does not seem to have hurt the Nevada Sports Books at all.

Tourists still pour into Las Vegas at record rates even though they gamble less. 42 million tourists last year visited Las Vegas. Average room rate $130 before resort fees and taxes. *** Many of our podcasts listeners get some room comps if not totally free rooms. 

Millennials DO know how to play poker.  Stop saying that they do not know how to gamble.  They are killers in the poker rooms. Know that many Las Vegas attractions do not involve gambling: … drinking, dining, dancing, big time show productions, hiking, swimming, enjoying the sun, and upscale shopping- all have little or nothing to do with gambling. For us at Casino USA, we gamble bigger in local casinos than in Las Vegas.

4. Customer Service Issues at Casino Resorts. Gamblers are CUSTOMERS. Hotel Guests are CUSTOMERS. Some casino and hotel workers get that; some do not. We have standards of Customer Service that we expect to receive and will report those who do not give it. Do the same.

5. Craps Talk: Teaching Craps at Rocky Gap Casino Resorts and later a “craps student” of mine gets a $2,500 slot machine win.

6. Our cousin has back to back Big Wins at the same exact Buffalo Slot Machine at the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh and just days apart.

7. Some important late news before we close.

Be back in two weeks; thanks for listening!

“3-2-1 Craps,” a craps pass line betting scheme for low rollers, created by Casinos USA and produced by ColorUp’s Jeremy Elerick for YouTube has surpassed 80,000 views in just 6 months. Consider our “Deal or NoDeal” (video) play from the Don’t Pass line as well, which was also produced by ColorUp and Jeremy. Jeremy put it on live and our system produced winnings of  $193 profit in less than 22 minutes, the length of the video.

Vegas Crimes: A recent robbery took place at the Bellagio Casino Resort’s poker cage. The thief robbed the cage and ran outside where a policeman shot the robber after the robber first fired at another policeman. The robber died a few days later in a hospital. The Las Vegas police officer was also shot as mentioned, but his vest saved his life. He was examined and released from the hospital quickly. More Shooting! Also there was a multiple shooting at the El Cortez Casino Hotel on the 5th floor.  All involved have been arrested. The cause of the shooting seems unclear to this date.  Nevada with its western history is an open carry state (gun laws). Coach Fav explains how guns easily can get be brought into a Casino or a hotel.

(Speaking of guns) Coach Fav unknowingly takes a loaded shotgun in his golf bag to a Las Vegas Country Club for a golf outing. Wait until you hear what happened next.

A Saint Patrick Day tale (from years ago)  by Coach Fav’s is presented followed by a news report of a big, big win in Las Vegas on Saint Patrick’s Day 2019 ( a million dollar win) at the Plaza Hotel in downtown Las Vegas on a progressive Monopoly Millionaire Slot Machine.  Wow!

Feature Segment:  Casinos USA overview  of the Women’s and Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournaments as seen by Coach Fav. He also explains three of his bets made at the Rivers Casino for the first round men’s games.  Think Money Line!

Linq Courtyard where the High Roller (Big Wheel) is. A day of fun for us.

Our free slot play and match play coupons are from the Rewards Book associated with a subscription to the Las Vegas Advisor Newsletter by Anthony Curtis and the American Casino Guide.

Both of these “coupon” items are well worth the money, simply amazing deals.

8.  MS Kondo’s (author of “Tidy Up”) method of folding and storing clothes “sparked joy” with Coach Fav as he now takes a much smaller suitcase to Las Vegas, packed the Condo way.

Part 2  Explosion of 3 Card Poker

The casino variety of Three Card Poker was first created by Derek Webb in 1994 and patented in 1997. Webb tried to get the correct mix of three important factors for any casino game: 

1.  the game rules were easy to understand, 

2. the payouts were large enough to attract players

3. the house edge was enough that casino owners would be interested in adopting the game.

Either put odds behind the pass line and lift the Don’t Pass Bet and odds or not.  Again, playing the 6 or 8 from the pass line is Deal or No Deal – Your choice.  Remember that a Don’t Pass bet can be lifted.

Part 1: Never fight a winning or losing streak thinking that the opposite bet is due when the outcome is pretty much one or the other -for example, red or black bets in Roulette.   Things are never due; thinking that way is called the “Gamblers Fallacy.”    In Baccarat Banker and Player bets fall into this category as does Pass line or Don’t Pass Line in Craps.  Things would even out after thousands and thousands of plays, but that is not happening in the short term. Famous Craps player Jimmy the Greek felt that it was wise to stop betting rather than fight a streak.  In his case, he only played the Don’t Pass Line. If a hot shooter was beating him, he would just stop betting until that bettor lost rather than fight it by continuing to bet against the shooter. We suggest “jumping on a steak” as we did with 8 yo’s in a row (11’s) at the Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City, Indiana.  Coach Fav has made the mistake of fighting a streak in the past and now has wised up. Why keep betting the same way if you are losing? Join the parade while it lasts. Don’t fight a streak – jump on it.

Part 2: Sports Betting in Pittsburgh is now legal at The Rivers Casino, which is close to PNC Park (Home of the Pirates) and Heinz Field (Home of the Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh (Football Teams).

Part 3: Craps Talk – 6-4 Dice Set still hot for Coach Fav.  Keep setting this until it hurts me…

Part 4: Explaining the Spread Bets and Money Line bets in Sports Betting… No right or wrong here.

Don’t forget the Avenue shops and fast food outlets downstairs at Bally’s and the inside walkway to the Paris Casino. The escalator down is right beside Bucco de Pepo. 2.  Received a message on my Mlife App that our room was ready at the Luxor.  East Tower renovations. In our view East Tower rooms are superior to staying the Pyramid. Bottom en trance right beside the registration area Starbucks and Boarding Pass Computers and Printers 2.  Walk or take a tram to Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, then a walk to New York, New York, in the Park at Park MGM and to TMobile Arena. Shops on walkways.  Not so bad. 3.  Janie considers how the Professional Hockey Team, The Golden Knights has changed Las Vegas and what she expects with the arrival of the Raiders and NFL Football.

11.  Lounge Entertainers at Ellis Island reminds Coach Fav of a song (Tulsa Time) one of his college roomates at Notre Dame sang the entire Freshmen year.

12. Lunch at the Cosmopolitan’s “The Henry” restaurant great and worth the $55 

13. Coach Fav almost loses his shirt (down $1400) at the Bellagio while playing smart craps at a $25 table with $100 in odds on pass line bets and two of his come bets, but he is saved from total disaster by one hot shooter. Learned that $375 often on the table is too much of a gamble (for me) so early in the week. Close call. Lesson Learned.

14. A now careful (after Bellagio) Coach Fav uses a 6-8 place bet strategy, pressing once ($10 table) and coming down after 4 hits during the final 2 days of craps play at Bally’s and departs our four day stay with more than $600 from 7 hours of craps play. Sweet!

 Zach Bagan’s Haunted Museum, 600 E. Charleston, Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89104   90 minute tour – Ticket Price $44  Phone: 702-444-0744

Part I: Craps Talk: Paying for Dice Control training with hands-on instruction is an expensive purchase. Is Dice Control Possible? Is the training worth the cost? Does the setting of dice and a proper throwing technique give one an advantage over the house edge in casino craps?  Our answers follow: Watch for this: Dice Control instructors create a variety of throwing components and blame failure to execute the motion correctly the cause of 7-outs. Yet, the longest recorded shoot (2009 in Atlantic City) was not from Dice Control. So why has not a  Dice Control shooter broken this record? Casino USA believes in Dice Tendencies as a result of setting dice. Certain dice sets seem to bring about certain numbers more than not.  We do not believe that a shooter can control Dice more than two consecutive rolls if the dice hit the back wall. However strange, we do admit that we are more confident when we see a shooter set dice and establish a throwing rhythm. Let’s not argue about it. For us, it’s about tendencies of numbers occurring not control. Dice Sets create number tendencies. Control, if real, is limited to a roll or two and extremely rare.
