Only 11 states currently permit non-Native American casino-type gambling. I don't know all the states that allow it, but I do know some are in the West--Montana and Wyoming, for example.

]]> Comment on What kinds of free drinks can I order while playing video poker in Vegas? by sumgirl http://video-poker-blog.com/videopoker/what-kinds-of-free-drinks-can-i-order-while-playing-video-poker-in-vegas/#comment-34 sumgirl Wed, 24 Dec 2008 07:09:14 +0000 http://www.video-poker-blog.com/videopoker/what-kinds-of-free-drinks-can-i-order-while-playing-video-poker-in-vegas/#comment-34 I am a bar manager at a casino in las vegas. As long as you play, at most casinos, you can order anything you want as long as it is not a double, and it is stocked at the bar. Most casinos do not have pomagranite margaritas as a regular drink, so most likely you wont be able to get that. If you tip $1-$2 per round, your waitress and/or bartender will make sure your drink is always full! ( I was a cocktail waitress for 8 years) Always ask for their brands of liquor you want to order so you can order the best! If you are staying downtown, the rules are different, no bottles of beer, and no top shelf liquors. I always like going to The Gold Coast and The Orleans, they seem to have the best bar employees!

The slot machines you see at the casinos in Vegas are considered Class III devices. The Class II games. from a player's persepective, play just like the ones in Vegas. However, Class II and Class III devices generate their winning combinations differently. Class III games each have their own Random Number Generator, which determines what combination of symbols show up on the reels. Each machine is independent of the other machines. Class II machines are all controlled by one Random Number Generator, and plays similar to a bingo game. There is no real advantage to playng one class of games over the other. The most important thing to know is which casino offers the best payback odds. And with Indian reservations, there is no way to know, as they are not required to report that.

]]> Comment on which casinos in vegas has the best video poker? by MollyKatz http://video-poker-blog.com/videopoker/which-casinos-in-vegas-has-the-best-video-poker/#comment-65 MollyKatz Tue, 25 Nov 2008 23:15:00 +0000 http://www.video-poker-blog.com/videopoker/which-casinos-in-vegas-has-the-best-video-poker/#comment-65 All casinos have Video poker , the best games to play are determined by the pay scale you see on the screen above the cards to be drawn & held . Basically if one machine pays a larger amount for a particular hand than a similar type game on another that machine is considered better ( if you play with perfect choices on each hand ) Without having to travel too far from the strip ( short cab rides away ) West on Flamingo Road visit The Palms & East on Flamingo Road go to Sam's Town . Downtown the best payscales & variety are @ the El Cortez .
