A WORD FROM HENRY

Get the inside scoop on the 2014 Blackjack Ball, including the answers to the test questions taken by the blackjack pros. Eight-deck games are proliferating and we have the strategies to beat them courtesy of Bill "The GameMasters" Channels. We have several blackjack reports this month that include two North Las Vegas casinos (Texas Station and Fiesta Rancho); two casinos located on Tropicana Ave. at the South end of the Strip (Excalibur and NY-NY by KC Brooks); and two located in Tucson, AZ (Casino Del Sol, Desert Diamond Airport by JPB). Learn how to get a better craps game than advertised from Frank Scoblete, and if you don't know what to say or do when a casino employee asks you for your social security card or number, read Jean Scott's article for the answers. Jerry "Stickman" continues his review of short-pay deuces wild games, this month for the game known as "loose deuces." Lastly, we have a summary of major blackjack tournaments courtesy of blackjacktournaments.com.
