Ask the Mad Professor
Gaming
Control Board regulations require each casino to log-in every player by name and
government-issued photo-I.D., then provide direct real-time video surveillance feeds to
GCB headquarters. Bet-minimums
for both table-games and slots must be AT LEAST $500, and each
player is required to carry cash and/or starting credit totaling a minimum
of $500,000. That means that if you
don’t have at least half-a-million in head-room on your Line-of-Credit, or
front-money account, or in cash at the beginning of your current
trip, then you cannot play in their Salon Privée. There
are no exceptions to this rule, under penalty of gaming-license revocation.
Unfortunately
there are currently no craps layouts in any of the three salons. However, if you have enough “fresh cake in
your kick” to the tune of $500k, and craps is your game of choice, then I’m
sure that they will accommodate your needs by setting up a craps table in their gaming
salon just for you. As a side-note, I am told, and I verily believe that these high-end salons are not putting any profit on the bottom-line of the balance-sheet. I would think that if the situation persists, the three corporations will approach the GCB to relax the minimum-bet/minimum-credit rules somewhat.
I
try to give each article a firm base upon which a player can build and develop their
skills in an actionable way. For example, you
will notice that I constantly talk about “CONSISTENT profitability”. It’s one thing to say, “You have to
be consistent” or “You have to be disciplined”. To me, that is like saying, “Have a nice
day”. While
an easily coined cliché sounds nice, I would much rather show you HOW to actually be
profitably-consistent instead of just saying it. Likewise,
I would much rather that you gain insight into WHY you do the things that you do at the
craps table that cause you lose your discipline (and money) in the first place, and then
show you various ways to improve it in a sustainable way.
To do that, it takes a little more than saying, “Be disciplined”. I
don’t just mouth the easily-digestible platitudes; my articles show you various ways
and means of HOW TO LIVE THEM and make them a functional part of your gaming-profit plan. I am not a professional writer; I am a
professional craps player. Unfortunately, I
have to torture more than a few words to properly convey my profitable-consistency
message. I have found that the type of players who tire out and quit before they fully read and digest my articles and fail to put my advice into action, are the same ones who NEVER seem to TIRE of LOSING MONEY in the casinos. The correlation is striking…if you don’t put in the effort, you will almost never achieve your desired results. By the way…I still hope you have a nice day.
ü
The
New Frontier, at the back near the Sportsbook and Sports Deli. Just go past the hotel check-in desk, and you will
find it right in front of the washroom entrance.
ü
The
Orleans has theirs in a similar location near the Sportsbook in front of the Sports Bar. Of the locations listed here, this is the
least active game.
ü
Sticking
with the “it’s-located-near-the-Sportsbook” theme, the one at
Imperial Palace is located right before you go into their Sportsbook area. There is a lot of foot-traffic passing by, so you’ll
likely have an enthralled audience when each “race” is on. People never seem to tire of watching these things
work.
ü
The
horseracing slot-machine game at NewYork NewYork, was located near the Big Apple stage
area, but was scheduled to be removed by the date of this writing.
ü
Luxor
has a racing camels game located close to the base of the western-most escalators. They usually have a security dude, (you know, the
guys with the big shoes and short hair) posted near this machine because the 8,371
visiting underage kids who call the Luxor “home” at any given time, just LOVE
this game.
ü
The
racing chariots game at Caesars Palace used to be located just down the steps from the
Palladium Buffet, but it was recently moved much closer to the Sportsbook snack-bar area. Just look to the right-most far wall of the
Sportsbook, and head in that direction, you can’t miss it.
ü
Right
beside the entrance to the Superbook at the Las Vegas Hilton, you will find their game. Again, don’t be surprised if a bunch of
inebriated conventioneers become your own personal cheering-section during each race. This game is busiest of all the ones that I have
listed here.
ü
If
you are looking for one at Ballys, it is in the basement Shopping Concourse/Monorail
Station area. It is located at the bottom of
the stairs right as you come down the escalator (very close to the 25-cent Live Video
Craps machine).
To
really bring out your wife’s memories of back ‘ome, you might want to show how
debonair you are, and do the ordering for the both of you.
In that case, you could have them bring out a plate of charcuterie with
gherkins, quince jelly & Provence olives, and finish with some Tuscan orange cake. Tea
flavors range from Darjeeling and Kalgar, all the way to Oolong and Lapsang Suochong The
Petrossian
Bar at Bellagio has a
similar menu, but you won’t find as wide of a variety of black, green and white teas
as you will at the Quatre Saisons. However,
you will find most popular favorites along with a couple more that I would recommend like Lychee
and Osmanthus. Of course, since you are in a Russian restaurant,
you might want to try their lesser-known, but equally good, Russian Caravan tea. All this talk about food has gotten me hungry. The rumbling growls of my stomach has frightened the neighbors into thinking that there is an escaped zoo animal on the loose. So until next time… Good Luck & Good Skill at the Tables…and in
Life. The Mad Professor
