A man who lost more than $1 million at two Las Vegas casinos while inebriated has reached a settlement with the casinos, according to an Associated Press report. Fifty-four-year-old Stephen Roel sued the Las Vegas Hilton and Mandalay Bay in January claiming they took advantage of his alcohol problem. Nevada prohibits serving alcohol to anyone who is visibly intoxicated and allowing such a person to gamble. Details of the settlement were not reported.

It's the noisiest game in the house and only spectator game in the casino that's worthy of the name. Next to Blackjack it's got some of the best player odds in the house and only Roulette has more betting options for the player. It's the one and only Craps.

Trying to give a brief strategy guide to Craps is like trying to teach calculus quickly: 99% of the time it ain't gonna happen. Tough! Let's give it a shot anyway.

Don Barden, the controversial Detroit millionaire and applicant for a casino license (once owner of Barden Cablevision in Detroit), had a good idea. As a part of his casino license proposal in July 1998, he included an amusement park, with the help of the entertainer, Michael Jackson, called Majestic Kingdom. The plan included a hotel and casino, with restaurants, nightclubs and also a Michael Jackson Thriller Theme Park. What a great idea! Unfortunately, Barden and Jackson were denied a casino license by Detroit City Council.

"Pick'em poker is a great game that's easy to learn, even easier to play, and has the best payback percentage in town. In Detroit, you will find Pick'em at the MGM Grand Casino. At Motor City, there is none. In Windsor, in the Video Poker Room and upstairs. This game has a 99.95% payback (long term) and I win a good percentage of the time when I play it." -- TM

"Play within your means. Human nature is so caught up in the get rich quick attitude. Evidence can be seen in every aspect of life. How else can you explain the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" craze? If the networks produced a television show called "Who Wants to be Down on Your Luck" would it be as successful? I think not. The reality of it all is that you have a better chance of being struck by lightning twice then you do of hitting a million dollar jackpot or flipping a card to win three stacks of high society. I am not saying to give up on your dreams of hitting it big. I know I'm not going to stop trying. Just remember when you do play, play to have fun not to break the bank, and play within your means." -- BM
