Rigged Game - Advantage Play, Blackjack, Card Counting, Slots, and Poker podcast

As I was leaving the house this morning to finally get back to my normal Casino routes, something terrible happened. The car suddenly would not go forward, backward, or go into Park. I had to abandon my trip for the day and stay in town. Played at a close by slot casino multiple sessions. Got a diagnosis on the car and made arrangements to move forward.

In this episode I discussed my play at Harrah's New Orleans. I was able to get some nice short sessions in while we hung around the city. Normally I don't mention the name of the casinos I go to, but I think it was evident that I would be in New Orleans at this time. I discussed Blackjack and Slot conditions at this casino.

This episode covers a week on a Norwegian cruise. I did not get much gambling in but I did get a lot of information that may be helpful. In this episode I discuss how to get a free cruise.

In this episode we leave home early in the morning to head out for a day and a half long gambling trip. This is part of my idea to help keep me in town more often near my family.

We have a heck of a t...
