The Green Felt Jungle

After more than 40 years of casino action and writing about gambling, I can assure my readers of one thing: it isn't easy to win at gambling.

While some games may be easier to beat than others, they are never a sure thing. Even the best poker and blackjack players lose, and those are both skilled games.

I was a staff writer for Card Player Magazine for a year

While we published many articles about poker's top players, I discovered a curious truth about those players. They would reveal a lot of truths about themselves, like where they were born, their early poker experiences, what tournaments they had conquered, and how much they had won. But they never described in detail their winning secrets.

The only poker player who did that was Doyle Brunson.

Doyle had enough confidence in his ability to give away all his secrets in his best-selling book, 'Super System.' He knew he could adjust his play to stay ahead of his opposition and he has proven that over the years.

The green felt jungle, as an author called the casino world in a book, is a glamour-filled place that can be treacherous to the unwary, as many have discovered.

Let's take horse racing as an example:

There are horseplayers who have lost continuously at this sport of kings. They have tried dozens of systems and have enjoyed temporary success at the game. But in the long run, they find that nothing seems to work consistently. I know because I have tried my own systems on the horses. Sometimes I win but more often I find myself on the losing end.

I recently discovered a new system of horse handicapping that I tried at the Meadows, a casino that operates a harness racetrack near Washington, PA. The casino has a horse room that provides simulcasts of all the major thoroughbred and harness tracks in the United States.

Lo and behold, I won the first five races I played!

I am still refining the system, but I think it has some real possibilities. At least that is my theory and I am sticking to it.

The problem...

...with winning in the green felt jungle is that the average player has a limited amount of money while the casino owners have deep pockets. Players need to win fast or their bankroll can quickly disappear. The casino operators can just be there and let odds and time be their weapons to win.

Players need to keep their heads, use their powers of choice wisely, and know when to push their luck and when to quit if they want to have a hope of winning. Some do. Most of them, sadly, don't.

If you have a big winning day at a casino

I strongly urge you to take some time off from the game. Relax. Enjoy life. Buy that car or another item you have been thinking about for a while. Go on that vacation. Visit an exotic place and live life to your heart's content.

Most winners do the exact opposite.

They never win enough to satisfy themselves. Instead of spending their money wisely (or even foolishly for their own enjoyment), they go right back into the tiger's den to parlay their win. And more often than not, it turns into a disaster.

Be smart. After you have satisfied yourself and spent some of that new-found money, return to the green felt jungle. Just be sure to watch out for the pitfalls.

Lady Luck is enticing...

...but she can be a fickle creature. Her lure is powerful but thinks of her as a siren sitting on the rocks, waving at sailors on boats passing in the night. If you get too close to those rocks, your life is in your hands.

Play n' GO Shows Off Latest Tricks in Street Magic

One month after rolling out its latest state-of-the-art online slot, Rise of Olympus, Play’n GO has honored us with another fantastic addition to the catalog, only this time it’s all about magic!

It is a widely known fact that people (even some primates) are extremelly fascinated by magic, whether it’s because of the fun or its mystic elements... According to Play’n GO CEO, Johan Tornqvist, people are intrigued by irrational beliefs, often thinking that supernatural is real. Torqvist shared his opinion in a short inteview:

“Everybody loves the mystery and excitement of magic, and street magicians have revived the art and brought it into a new era. There’s a certain delight in being amazed by a magic trick and not knowing how it is done, and we wanted to bring that delight, and that mystery, into a slot game for audiences to enjoy.”

Practice Your Tricks

In a way, the software giant has already reached quite a magical status in the industry by winning various awards for quality gaming content and original omni-channel products. The supplier’s approach to HTML5 development has provided an enhanced user experience and thanks to its comprehensive back-office tools, operators are capable of supporting their platforms with expansive reporting and marketing services.

Street Magic is on the way of becoming an instant hit, not only because of its main features “The Wild Shuffle” and “The Transporting Man” but mainly because of the people’s obsession with sorcery, witchcraft or simply magic. Call it what you like, it’s all up to you in the end – either you practice some tricks or you get enchanted. In any case, make sure to have some fun first!

Who Was That Masked Man?

Kingman, AZ. sits along a cactus-studded highway about 90 miles south of Las Vegas, NV. It is a medium-sized desert community with a valley of large boulders that were used to film many television westerns and movies during the heyday of the Golden West when such movies were popular.

I lived in Kingman for more than a year...

...working as a reporter on a newspaper and writing dozens of short stories and articles about the old West. I enjoyed my stay there for several reasons. Kingman was only 23 miles from a colorful ghost town named Oatman and if you drove just a few miles farther, you would be in Laughlin, NV. with nine gambling casinos strewn along the Colorado River.

One of the locals discovered I was a writer

She told me two well-known actors had ties to Kingman. One was Andy Devine, a character actor who starred in many westerns and who was born in the town. The other was Clayton Moore, who played the Lone Ranger in the long-running television series.

Moore had starred in 169 of 221 episodes of the series and had retired to Kingman where many of the shows were filmed. I found out where he lived and drove to his place to try to get an interview.

The retired actor

Was proven to be a perfect gentleman. He welcomed me into his adobe home, brewed a pot of strong coffee, and regaled me with tales about his experiences as an actor with Jay Silverheels playing as his faithful Indian companion, Tonto.

Moore was born in Chicago and began his career as an acrobat. A talent scout in Hollywood was impressed with his good looks and got him a role in 'The Ghost of Zorro.'

He performed well in the film and that led him to be signed as the lead role in the first western series ever made for television. It was about a Texas Ranger who was the only survivor of a massacre and who donned a mask to make him a champion of law and order. He was known as The Lone Ranger.

The theme music for the new series was taken from 'The March of the Swiss Soldiers' finale as part of Rossini's William Tell Overture. It became ABC Television's highest rated program during its long era.

Moore was eventually replaced as the Lone Ranger by Jack Wrather, who owned the rights to the character. Moore strongly resisted the change and began making personal appearances in rodeos and other public events wearing the mask and dressed like the television character.

Wrather was so angry

He secured a court order prohibiting Moore from making future appearances. Moore countersued and took the issue to court. A judge ruled in his favor, rocking Wrather with unfavorable publicity. He backed off and Moore continued making personal appearances until the end of his life. He even wrote a best-selling book titled 'I Was That Masked Man.'

Before our interview ended, I asked Moore if he played poker. He pretended to be offended by the question.

'What? The Lone Ranger a gambler? Never, my friend. That would violate the Masked Man's principles and I would never do that to upset my young audience,' he said.

Jay Silverheels

He was a Mohawk Indian born in Canada. As a young man, he played lacrosse and was a successful athlete who won numerous awards. He went to Hollywood, was talked into taking a screen test, and appeared in a number of successful films including 'Captain From Castille,' 'Key Largo' with Humphrey Bogart, 'Broken Arrow' with Jeff Chandler,' 'The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing' and other western films and television series before accepting the role of Tonto.

Moore told me a hilarious tale about one of the segments of 'The Lone Raner' that was shot near Kingman. The script called for The Lone Ranger and Tonto to race up a hill on their horses, dismount behind some rocks, and for Tonto to peer into the distance and say, 'Look, Kemo Sabe, smoke signals.'

Silverheels was a two pack a day cigarette smoker. By the time they arrived at their dismounting place, he was so out of breath all he could utter was, 'Look, Kemo Sabe, smoke sniggles.'

The director...

...called for them to do it again. By this time Silverheels was totally winded and he had the giggles. Again 'smoke signals' became 'smoke sniggles' and the director, in disgust, told the cast, 'Go home. We'll shoot this tomorrow.'

Moore is on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His star reads 'Clayton Moore, The Lone Ranger,' a title he richly deserved. He died at 85 of heart failure and is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles.
