Contrary to what the outside sign says, Poker Palace no longer has an oyster bar.

Kristina and I visited Seventy Six Tavern on Lamb while we were in NLV. It's very nice inside. It's at the end of the development by the beltway. We had a good meal. Station owns it, but it has a unique players club with $20 free play for new players. We played 7/5 Bonus Poker.

I found a game at Seventy Six Tavern I've never seen before. An ace-high straight all the same color pays almost as much as a straight flush. This means TheRampartRambler can get paid extra on all his "Rampart Royals" on this game. The RTP is about 96.5%.

A blog post BetMGM just tweeted says Don't Pass wins on a 7 and 12 on the come out roll, which may open the door to challenges of losses. These are two of many major errors in the article and part of a pattern. How is it that nobody at BetMGM has basic knowledge of casino games?

Last week, Kristina and I filmed craps at Rio with longtime friends. We lost, but had some great craps and Las Vegas discussions. Kristina shared why she doesn't roll the dice anymore, even though her first roll was one of the longest I've ever seen. youtube.com/watch?v=XR-Tc_…

I ended the 2025 UFL season undefeated. Picking the championship game correctly improved my record to 1-0.

That's a fun Ten Play Bonus Poker Deluxe flop.

Nines were the Bonus Poker quad of the day. It came with a side of treys.

Slot ticket kiosks should be required to pay coins, partly because I sometimes get paid with an unusable ticket like this.

This is why independent journalism is so important to a community.

AI is worthless when it comes to Las Vegas info, and often, gambling in general. I asked it for the worst Las Vegas blackjack game. It confused my article comparing 6/5 Lucky Cat with forced side bet to triple zero roulette and came up with 000 blackjack, among other list errors.

Another AI frustration is that I spent dozens of hours winning hundreds of DMCA complaints against sites that stole our content, getting them delisted from search engines, only to have AI cite and link the copyright infringers as sources. It's all very unmotivating to creators.

We met friends on the Strip tonight and played $5 3 Shot Poker at Flamingo, then saw Adam Carolla at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club. We didn't have any luck playing, but the show was funny.

Caesars Palace no longer deals live big wheel. This leaves two left in the market: Golden Nugget and Wynn. There were dozens of live tables 10 years ago. A few stadiums and standalone ETGs have it.

I wrote this "Triple Zero Roulette Probably Killed the Las Vegas Big Wheel" article in 2023: vegasadvantage.com/triple-zero-ro…

Some Station Casinos are adding "up to 99.7%" machines in addition to the existing 99.8% ones. The missing 99.8% game is Triple Bonus Plus, making 16/10 Deuces Wild (NSUD 99.73%) the best game. This bank of six is at Palace Station near the sportsbook.

When I started covering legalized gambling 14 yrs ago, I interviewed an important industry person who told me gambling and politics are always connected and that's what made it so interesting. That quote stuck with me. This is a great example of its truth. legalsportsreport.com/234899/illinoi…
