Travel Tunica Learns How to Play Craps
Everyone who has ever been to a casino has most likely seen craps tables. If you’ve not gotten close enough to see them, you’ve definitely heard people cheering at them because it’s usually the loudest place in the house. So Travel Tunica decided to get in on the action and learn how to play one of the most intimidating games for beginners on the casino floor.
Travel Photographer Gayle Harper Surrenders to Serendipity
Ever wondered exactly where the Mississippi River goes? Most people know that it empties into the Gulf of Mexico, but have you ever stopped to think about where the Mississippi River has been before it reaches us?
California Gurl and Beau Visit Tunica
Just a few days ago, the Town of Tunica was visited by the “California Gurl” Katy Perry, and her beau, Russell Brand. Tunica’s not unaccustomed to having big-name stars visit especially when they come to perform, but this mini-vacation for the soon-to-be married couple was a very welcome surprise.
Buffet Bonanza in Tunica!
You might have a favorite casino resort that is your only stop in Tunica for every visit. If you’ve not ever ventured out to other resorts, you aren’t just missing gaming action; you are missing the best part of your Tunica road trip—BUFFETS.
Slot Tournaments
Have you ever played in a slot tournament? I have, and I think they’re a blast. I once played in three in one week, in different casinos and had a great time. In two of them, there were welcome gifts, prize banquets and other perks. The third was just a little daily tournament I decided to play on a whim while out for a walk.
I won one tournament — the whim — placed in the top 5 and won some cash in another, while in the third … well, I had a good time.
Hedge Bets in Craps
A craps player told me he likes to make $6 place bets on 6 or 8, but also hedge with $3 bets on 7. That way, a roll of 6 or 8 wins $7 and loses just the $3 on 7. And if a 7 wipes out the place bets, he makes it up by winning $12 with the 4-1 odds on any 7.
Relative Speed of Play
Blackjack games are not all created equal, as experienced players know. There’s a mix-and-match set of rules, and different casinos match different mixes. Does the dealer stand on all 17s or hit soft 17? Can you double down on any starting hand or are doubles restricted to a few totals, such as hard 9, 10 and 11? How many decks are in play?

Going For Straights in Video Poker
Have you ever listened in as a couple of video poker novices tried to figure out just what to do with a hand? I couldn’t help but overhear one evening when a woman playing Bonus Poker was dealt 5-6-7-9 and a Jack.
“What do you do here?” she asked the fellow accompanying her.
He looked at the hand, and looked at the pay table. “Look here,” he said. “You’d get five coins back if you draw another Jack, but you have four parts of a straight. Straights pay 20. You probably should go for the straight.”
