  1. I have one quick question please ? when I come to casino the only game I play is Baccarat what is the best advice ? thanks

  2. The best advice is to get lucky! There is no skill involved in baccarat and you are relying soley on luck to be a winner. However, one more important thing is to never make the tie bet. It has a very high casino advantage of 14.1% Only make bets on player or banker where the casino advantage is 1.36% and 1.17% respectively. Then, just hope you get lucky and win.

  3. why is in american's casinos impossibilel to find the real baccarat? in italy we have a game called chemin de fer and it's baccarat, but the real baccarat

  4. I don't know of any U.S. casino that offers Chemin de Fer. It's my understanding that under the rules for that game someone at the table needs to act as the banker. That would be the main problem as I don't think many gamblers would want to be the banker.

  5. And according to Mr Shackleford, never get involved into the "commission free" baccarat table!!!

  6. In my opinion, the dumbest thing a person can do is play a gambling game, while you are under the influence of alcohol. If you are intoxicated, you likely will be unable to make rational decisions with your money.

  7. My advice for video poker players is to play no higher than quarters: avoid games with jackpots that automatically report you to the government ($1,200 or higher) because the tax withholdings will raise the house edge. Any other game with a $1,000 jackpot at the quarter level will get you paid hassle free. This is especially important if your state's gambling tax laws are unfavorable.

  8. How are the tables in downtown Las Vegas compared to the casinos on Boulder Highway?
