The Date is December 6. The Place is Isleta Casino Resort, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Event is Frank Scoblete’s Gamblers Jamboree with Jean Scott (Queen of the Comps, author of The Frugal Gambler), Dr. Henry Tamburin (best-selling author and blackjack expert), John Robison (video poker expert and author of The Expert’s Guide to Playing Slots), John Grochowski (gaming columnist for The Chicago Sun-Times and author of The Casino Answer Book), Bill Burton (author of Get the Edge at Low-Limit Texas Hold’em and gambling guide for About.com), and Dominator, one of the world’s greatest dice controllers, with the Golden Touch Craps dice control crew of Billy "the Kid" Stansfield, Howard "Rock ‘n Roller" Newman, Daryl "No Field Five" Henley, and Arman "Pit Boss" Pirim.

The Reason it is at Isleta Casino Resort?

Where’s the best craps game in the West, Las Vegas? Where are the best double-deck blackjack games? Where are the loosest "certified" slots, the most generous comps, and an area rich in history, character, and beauty? Is it really Las Vegas?

No, it isn’t.

Turn your attention to New Mexico, specifically to the Isleta Casino Resort, just outside Albuquerque, for the answers to my questions above. Isleta is the gamblers’ paradise of the Western states. Here are just a few examples as to why:

Isleta Craps has 20X odds with low table minimums. You can buy the 4 and 10 and only pay the commission (vig) if you win. That reduces the house edge from 6.67 percent to 1.3 percent. What’s more, and what’s really startling for those who go to Vegas, you can buy the 5 and 9, paying the vig on a win, and cut that house edge from 4 percent to almost 1 percent! You can also buy these numbers for $30, paying a $1 commission on a win – a bet that has never been offered in Vegas.

In blackjack, there are no continuous shuffle machines to gouge you. Instead, Isleta blackjack offers the games that Vegas used to offer in the past – hand-pitched, double-deck, stand on soft 17, with good penetration and great rules on doubling and splitting.

Isleta slots are "certified" payback machines, many offering 99 percent returns – unheard of in Vegas!

What’s more, Isleta has the philosophy that a good player is not the enemy of the casino but someone who will make a good long-term customer, a philosophy I share. To prove their belief that good players are to be courted not feared, Isleta is sponsoring my Jamboree on December 6 consisting of over a dozen seminars and hands-on instruction in blackjack basic strategy, card counting, tournament blackjack, craps basics, dice control, money management, video poker strategy, comp gathering and slot strategy with some of the world’s greatest experts.

The cost of this great day is just $20. That’s right. A mere $20 gains you entry to this first-ever players’ event in New Mexico. In addition to the seminars, there will be contests, prizes, freebies, refreshments and the opportunity to meet the authors one-on-one and, of course, play in a casino with the best games in the West!

So why not give yourself a treat for the Holiday season – attend Frank Scoblete’s Gamblers Jamboree at Isleta Casino Resort.

Frank Scoblete’s Gamblers Jamboree Special is $158 (plus tax) and includes: 2 Night Stay at the Hilton Garden Hotel in Albuquerque, NM, just minutes from Isleta Casino Resort.

They will make the hotel reservations for you and call back with the hotel confirmation number. Complimentary shuttle service will be offered to and from the Hilton Garden Hotel. It doesn’t get much better than this for savvy casino players! (Isleta’s website is: www.isleta-casino.com/Casino.htm)

Instructor: Dr. Henry Tamburin, columnist, author of Blackjack Take the Money and Run!, publisher of Blackjack Insider e-Newsletter

Blackjack can yield the player a positive expectation – if you play your cards right, and count them! This seminar will introduce you to two systems of card counting, an entry level and the hi-lo. If you master a card-counting system, even a simple one, you can get the edge over the casinos in many blackjack games. In blackjack tournaments you are competing against other players rather than against the house for guaranteed prize money. Whether you win or lose bets against the house isn't what's important; what matters is whether you win more (or lose less) than your opponents.  Your edge in tournaments, therefore, arises from being a better tournament player than your opponents. Let blackjack expert, Dr. Henry Tamburin, a finalist in the Las Vegas Hilton Million Dollar Blackjack Tournament, show you how tournaments work, how to evaluate them, and how to play your hands and bet the right amount at the right time to gain the advantage over the other players.

Speaker: Dr. Henry Tamburin, columnist, author of Blackjack Take the Money and Run!, publisher of Blackjack Insider e-Newsletter

Craps can be confusing if you don’t know the game. Let one of the country’s premier craps players explain exactly how the game is played; which bets are the best and worst to make, and how to get the most bang for your bucks. Billy will also discuss the benefits of regressions and progressions on random shooters and how to manage your money. Once you see how easy and how much fun craps is to play, you’ll never want to leave the table!

There are 8 physical elements that must be mastered to influence the outcome of a dice roll: the stance, set, grab, grip, angle, delivery, spin and bounce. In this seminar, the brilliant Dominator will explain why controlled shooting is a fact, how to works with the laws of physics and how to master the 8 Physical elements of the controlled shot! Once you’ve learned this, you’ll want to stay to have your throw critiqued by the GTC instructors. Controlled shooting is the only way to get the edge at dice in the long run.

Video poker is a game of skill. In the long run, which video poker games you choose to play, and how you choose to play them, will determine how much you win or lose. Let video poker expert Jean Scott show you the best machines to play and how to play them: Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, and the "bonus" games will be covered.

This is your opportunity for some one-on-one sesssions with the greatest dice controllers in the world from Golden Touch Craps! You will also be able to work on the practice tables when no seminars are taking place at lunchtime.

Speaker: Bill Burton, author of Get the Edge at Low-Limit Texas Hold’Em

Poker is one of the few games in the casino where the player can get the edge based on his or her skill. Why? Because poker players play against other poker players, not against the house. If you are better than they are, you’ll win. If not, you’ll lose! Poker expert Bill Burton shows you how to be a winner at Texas Hold’Em. Poker players won’t want to miss this!

Speaker: John Robison, video poker columnist for Midwest Gaming and Travel, and The Tunica Insider, author of The Slot Expert’s Guide to Playing Slots

Get the inside scoop on just how your favorite machines are programmed. How are the giant progressives created; what are your chances of hitting a megabucks or any other big jackpot? What does it mean when a machine is described in terms of its "hit frequency" or its "payback percentage?" John will explain in laymen’s terms the nature of the the RNG, which controls what symbols will come up when you spin the reels, and how it works.

There’s more to casino gambling than just odds and percentages, there’s a psychological element to the games, especially the games where skill can decide who wins and who loses in the end. Let Dominator, one of the world’s greatest dice controllers, show you the plan he uses when he challenges the casinos at craps. Dom believes that games of skill are 80% mental and 20% physical and in this seminar he’ll explain why. This seminar will also help you to make your casino "action" return the most satisfaction and, if skill is involved as it is in craps, blackjack, video poker and poker, the most money!

Speaker: John Grochowski, Chicago Sun Times columnist, author of The Video Poker Answer Book and The Casino Answer Book
