August – the dog days of summer, it’s hot, dry, humid - hotter, dryer and just down right sticky here in the Mississippi Delta. To top it off, summer is over and if you have children, it’s back to school time. But August brings promise, the promise of the first weekend in September. Yes, on the first weekend of September each year, it’s the time most wives love to hate – SEC Football and the opening day of dove season. And, that’s just the start, leading strait into a full season of the NFL complete with days of your significant…

The late Lenny Frome, one of the first video poker analysts, was a friend of mine, and we often talked video poker. He was a really sharp guy who had a long career as an engineer in the aerospace industry before semi-retiring to Las Vegas. He was a good friend to video poker players, one of the first to give the public strategies for when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em. (more…)

Not long ago, I watched from a couple of seats away while a woman played a bonus round on a Super Jackpot Party slot machine. If you play video slots, chances are you know the Jackpot Party format. The screen shows a grid of gift boxes while party music plays. You touch gift boxes to reveal bonus credits, and you get to keep picking until you pick a “Pooper” --- perhaps a policeman or an irate neighbor putting a stop to the party noise. (more…)

It was just another day on the Mighty Mississippi. Barges traveling up & down to their unknown destinations, while the alligator gar peaked at the water’s break and the deer ran along the edge of the river. Our group nervously walked down the boat ramp approaching the dock. Only one of us had ever experienced an airboat ride until now. (more…)

Single-deck blackjack is a different game than the multiple deck version, requiring some strategy adjustments if you’re going to get the most out of the game. That includes some extra double down situations, one of them coming when you have an 8 and the dealer has a 5 or a 6 face up. (more…)
