At one time or another you
have probably met up with someone who
has told you of a way to beat
the casino games. There are
hundreds of casino myths floating
around created by players and
have no more truth to them than
the standard urban legend. This
page provides some of the more
common casino myths
Counting Cards is Illegal.
Players are under the impression
that casino card counting is
illegal especially when playing
blackjack. This is not the case.
It’s
not illegal to count cards,
but it’s
defiantly not something the
casino approves of and has every
right to ask the player to leave.
If You Tip Better the Dealer
Will Give You Better Cards
Although we would all love
to pay off the dealer in hopes
of better cards this will not
happen. The casinos uses a shoe
to shuffle the decks, swap out
decks after a fixed amount of
hands and in some cases, depending
on the game use as many as 8
decks of cards are in play at
once. The dealer will never
be able to provide you with
better cards simply because
you think tipping the dealer better will help you win more.
It’s
impossible to do. Although you
may end up with a friendlier
dealer by being extra generous,
the outcome of the game will
not change no matter how much
money you give him. Save your
money, you cant win more by tipping
the dealers more!
Hot and Cold Games
Everyone at one point jumps
into a game because the action
is in full swing or a slot machine seems to be on fire. Likewise
they will avoid a game if it
appears to be running cold.
There is no such thing as a
hot or cold slot machine, nor
are there any hot or cold tables.
Just because a table seems to
be running good doesn’t
mean the next roll of the die
or cards laid on the table will
also have the same run. The
games are entirely random
Casinos Only Comp the Big
Players
The casino comp program is
available for all players no
matter how many visits you make
to the casino or how much you
play. The programs are constructed
so they will award each player
based on their VIP status. While
it may seem that the casinos
only comp the high rollers,
players who play smaller denominations
can still receive free meals,
accommodations and entertainment
by simply remembering to use
their rewards cards each time
they visit the casino. These
rewards cards collect points
at both slots, craps, baccarat and other casino games
and can give you some additional
benefits. If you feel that you
aren’t receiving the best
comp service out there, shop
around at other casinos and
find one that suits your playing
habits. Casinos do accommodate
their patrons...sometimes you
just need to ask.
