My boyfriend and I have been hitting the casinos various times since the fall. We mainly play the slots, and every so often video poker. I've read up on slots and know the general advice and myths, eg they're all pretty much based on random number generators, the odds are against you, casinos don't pump extra oxygen in, it doesn't matter where the slots are in the casino, it's a pretty much walk-away-when-you're-up game, etc. We also know about slot payback percentages and what casinos have high and low ones and that casinos cannot change odds due to laws.
My boyfriend pretty much hates the PA casinos and believes them to not have an advantage since there is less competition than AC but slot payback stats say they're about the same. Comps do seem lower compared to AC though. We love the Borgata as they give out great comps (free buffet, slot play, comedy show) and usually will stay at Harrah's for the free room and spend our money at Borgata.)
That being said, is there ANY strategy on slots or video poker, outside of walking away when you're up? Do different games have a better chance? Is it worth it to learn a table game instead? Is online gambling in moderation worth it (I seem to win more there than the physical casinos)? What's the best resource to learn about these things?
