A WORD FROM HENRY
This month Vinny DeCarlo summarizes an ugly "racial" incident that occurred in a Las Vegas casino in the 1970s (yes, Las Vegas was very much a segregated city during this time). JPB rushed me his St. Louis trip report so you can take advantage of a terrific blackjack game that he found. Mark Gruetze visited three casinos in the Western part of Pennsylvania, and he summarizes the playing conditions in his article. Frank Scoblete writes about his experience with Hurricane Sandy, and reporter Herbert summarizes the financial impact the storm had on the casinos in Atlantic City. If you ever want to learn about the Global Gaming Expo (known as G2E) that is held in Las Vegas annually, read Stu D. Hoss's article on his first-time experience at this mammoth industry expo. There is a way for basic strategy players to boost their returns and that's to learn some advanced basic strategy plays (read my article for the details). John Grochowski has an informative answer to the question of why some casinos have five spots on their blackjack tables and others seven. I'm high on the new 2013 American Casino Guide (ACG) book, and Matt Bourie (Associate Editor) wrote an article on exactly what this new edition contains (see also our Product of the Month below for information on the book and the ACG app.) Last, but not least, read Jean Scott's article for some solid advice on how to put the fun back into your gambling experience.

Have a Merry Christmas and Healthy and Happy New Year!

THE MAN'S TOO BIG ... THE MAN'S TOO STRONG by Vinny DeCarlo
"In the 70's, an African American had about as good a chance of being treated fairly in a Las Vegas casino as a 7 spot Keno ticket. I remember one certain incident where this giant African American man (his name was Charles) was walking through the casino when he was suddenly surrounded by three little whitey know-it-all casino security guards..."

However, you can do even better than this by employing the following advanced basic strategy plays..."
