Win At Video Poker – 3 Tips To Remember   by Jacob Turner

When it comes to playing poker, you either know what you’re doing, or you try to pretend like you know what you’re doing. When it comes to playing head to head with others, or even online, you often times get to learn as you go, but that doesn’t ring true when it comes to trying to win at video poker. Unfortunately, most video poker machines that you find at major casinos aren’t rigged the same way as your friendly neighborhood game or even tournament. If you want to win, you’ll have to take what you’ve learned from playing in real games, and filter it through a few components. Consider the following 3 tips when trying to make your mark with modern technology and your growing poker skills.

Know Your Hands – The one thing that you’re going to have to absolutely remember is the winning hand. Not every hand will get you a winning bet when it comes to video style gaming. Unfortunately, you’re going to end up losing big if you don’t recall what combination of cards gets you money. To make it easy, throw away the notion of a high card. You will not win anything with a high card. You will only win when you have pairs, triples, four of a kind, flushes, straights, and that’s it. The average machine will not have you playing against the computer, but rather they are going to be trying to create an elaborate guessing game of sorts. Keep that in mind as you move forward.

Don’t Chase Flushes – The second tip is going to find many people happy when confronted with what might look like an opportunity to get a flush. One of the repeat offenses that video poker throws at the average gambler is the opportunity to get a flush. You’ll have to pay attention to how much you’ve bet, how many hands you’ve played and whether or not you’ve seen multiple cards of similar coat. Chasing a flush can seem fun, and once you have 3 out of the 5, you might want to draw 2 more cards, but more often than not, the computer will nail you and make you lose. Don’t chase flushes unless you have a good idea of all the cards that have been played. Counting helps here, but is discouraged on a grand scale.

Something’s Wild – If you are playing at a machine that allows deuces wild or jokers wild, take full advantage of these sets. If you have a hand that has five cards and one of them consists of a wild card, draw 3 cards and play with the odds a little to gain three of a kind. At the very least, you will have a pair, and you’ll win a safe bet.

The above are just 3 quick tips that will help you move forward with figuring out the tricky machines that many people think are simple. Video poker is not the same as playing head to head with someone else, it’s more of a “luck of the draw” type of component, but that doesn’t mean you won’t win. It just takes time to figure the machines out.

Foxwoods Resort Casino   by jekky

History

Foxwoods was founded in 1986 as a bingo hall. The casino was financed by Lim Goh Tong, a Chinese Malaysian who founded the only legal casino in Malaysia. Lim died in October 2007.

Foxwood Resort, 2003

In 1992 the owners, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, added table games, followed shortly by slot machines in 1993. G. Michael Brown became the chairman of the casino in 1993. The casino agreed to pay 25% of their slot revenue to the state of Connecticut, a sum that now amounts to almost $200 million per year as of 2007[update].

Gaming

Baccarat

Typically a high-roller’s game, Foxwoods offers both traditional “big table” Baccarat (Punto Banco style) and “Mini-Baccarat”, where a dealer handles the cards. In both variants the casino banks the game.

Bingo parlor

The only gaming section open to ages 18 and up, Foxwoods holds bingo sessions twice daily, with the bingo hall able to accommodate up to 5000 players. The hall features a large stage where the callers sit, smoking and non-smoking sections, video bingo terminals, a pizza vendor, pull tab sales booths, and soda fountains where players enjoy complimentary drinks. Players who win certain games will be allowed to go up on stage and spin a giant wheel with different amounts of money on it, or try to catch as much money as possible in a wind-tunnel-like structure called the “Money Machine”.

Blackjack

Blackjack at Foxwoods is played with 6 or 8-deck shoes, depending on table limits. All tables are hand-shuffled since the removal of the continuous shuffling machines several years ago. The dealer must hit on all totals of 16 or less, and stand on all totals of 17 or more. Foxwoods offers late surrender, double down on any two cards, and splitting up to 3 times (excluding Aces, which can only be split to two single-hit hands), and double down after split. Specially marked tables offer side bets, including Super Sevens and Match The Dealer. Table minimums start at $10, and on the main gaming areas go up to $25 or $50. In the Stargazer Casino on the 25th floor above the Grand Pequot Hotel, the table minimums start at $200 a hand.

A variant of Blackjack called Spanish 21 is also played, with similar table minimums and side bets.

Back-betting is allowed in all Blackjack and Spanish 21 games.

Craps

As of early 2008, Foxwoods permits players to bet 5 times odds on all points in craps. On points 4-6 or 8-10, players are allowed to make an odds bet equal to 5 times their pass line/come bet. When betting on the don’t pass line/don’t come, players are allowed to lay 6 times odds on points 6 and 8, 7.5 times odds on points 5 and 9, and 10 times odds on points 4 and 10. Table minimums are usually $1025 but can be as low as $5 during slower hours. The combined house advantage of 0.227% on the don’t pass/don’t come with full odds is the best bet in the casino (aside from banking in Pai Gow Tiles/Pai Gow Poker and advantage play).

Sic Bo, a popular Asian game with three dice in a shaker is also played in the Asian gaming section of the Rainmaker Casino.

Keno

Foxwoods holds keno drawings every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day. 80 balls are in the pool, 20 are chosen. A progressive jackpot game is also offered.

Money Wheel

There are several money wheels scattered across Foxwoods, where one bets on the number that the 54-section wheel lands on. The “Joker” or “Foxwoods” spaces pay at 40:1, which is less than the 45:1 payouts in some casinos in Las Vegas or Atlantic City.

Pai Gow Tiles

Pai gow (tiles) is offered in the Asian gaming section of the Rainmaker Casino, and player banking is available every other deal. 5% commission is charged on all winning wagers, and players may not “bet their commission” (i.e. bet $21 to win $20), which reduces commission by 0.24%

Poker (WPT World Poker Room)

The WPT World Poker Room is located one floor below the Rainmaker Casino. At any given time, the Foxwoods Poker Room runs many poker games of varying stakes, including limit and no-limit Texas hold ‘em, Omaha hold ‘em (high/low), and seven-card stud. There are also daily poker tournaments and World Poker Tour events. The poker room underwent an expansion in March 2006, increasing the number of tables from 76 to 114, making it the largest poker room outside of California, and the third-largest poker room in the world, after the Commerce Casino and the Bicycle Casino.

In October 2009, Foxwoods added a player-funded bad beat jackpot for $1/2 no limit hold’em and $10/20 and below limit hold’em players. The minimum bad beat qualifying hand is 4 of a kind, eights, beaten by a higher ranking hand.

Poker Table Game Variants

Table variants of poker (played against the house) are also available on the casino floor, including Caribbean Stud Poker, Casino war, Crazy 4 Poker, High Five Poker, Let It Ride (card game), Pai Gow Poker, Texas Hold’Em Bonus and Three card poker.

Roulette

Table minimums during the weekend are usually $10 or $25, though $5 tables are occasionally available. Almost all of the wheels are of the American variety (with two green spots, 0 and 00), though there are a few European style Roulette wheels with only one zero. Foxwoods does not allow the “en prison” rule (as played in Europe and Atlantic City, New Jersey).

Slots and video poker

Slot machines at Foxwoods pay out roughly 91.5% of the money that gamblers bet. In the fiscal year ending June 2008, Foxwoods’ slots handled over $9.1 billion. 25% of slot revenue is given to the State of Connecticut. There are over 7,400 machines in five casinos devoted to slots and video poker.

Sports betting

A sports betting facility with cafe is also located at Foxwoods. Bets may be made on Jai-Alai, or on over 60 tracks worth of dog racing and horse racing. Races are projected on 50 foot high digital screens. Due to federal law, betting on other sports is impossible at Foxwoods, as it is prohibited outside of Delaware, Montana, Nevada and Oregon.

MGM Grand at Foxwoods

Foxwood Resort, 2009

Construction started in November 2005 on a $700 million expansion at Foxwoods. On April 25, 2006, Foxwoods announced that they would lease the MGM Grand brand name for the new building, and that the parent company, MGM Mirage would be a partner in the expansion project. The expansion, entitled The MGM Grand at Foxwoods, opened on May 17, 2008. It is a separate building from the main Foxwoods resort, but is connected by a moving walkway. Amenities at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods include:

2 million square feet (180,000 m)

53 table games

1,400 slot machines

825 hotel rooms/suites

4,000 seat performing arts theater

Four restaurants and four retail outlets

Unionization of Employees

After announcing in June 2007 that it had started collecting signatures from dealers in support of a union, the United Auto Workers announced in September 2007 that it had collected the requisite number of signatures needed to hold an election to determine whether table games and poker dealers desired union representation. The Tribe challenged the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board over on-reservation Native American enterprises. Following hearings, the National Labor Relations Board ruled in favor of the union and ordered a union election to be conducted. On November 24, 2007, employees voted to unionize with 60 percent in favor and 40 percent against. The Foxwood dealers cast 1,289 ballots for the union, 852 against representation, and 36 additional ballots were challenged. Approximately 2,700 dealers and dual-rate dealers were eligible to vote in the election.

After the workers won their union, Foxwoods Casino appealed the election results, reasserting its jurisdictional challenge and claiming that the National Labor Relations Board made mistakes in conducting the vote, that the NLRB only printed the ballot in English and only provided notices explaining the election in only one form of the Chinese language, disenfranchised workers, and that interactions by union officials and some voters were unlawful. An NLRB Administrative Law Judge ruled that the union and the board provided ample explanation of the election in a variety of languages. Foxwoods has appealed the decision.

The Foxwoods dealers union have also pushed the state of Connecticut to improve the conditions of their workplace. Workers and union organizers pushed to have legislation that would ban smoking on the casino floors of Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. The Mashantucket tribe has opposed a complete ban on smoking, however in May 2009, Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell signed an agreement with Foxwoods Casino to voluntarily limit smoking areas in the casino.

Currently, the Mashantucket Pequot and the UAW are negotiating on a contract under the Mashantucket Pequot’s tribal law. As of December 18, 2008, these negotiations have resulted in at least 21 dealers returning to work following a massive layoff of 700 employees in October 2008.
