NEXTSHOOTER ADDS NEW ACCESS TO PLAYER CARDS AND CASINO CREDIT ONLINE
We have added new features on the NextShooter.com home page to allow readers to
obtain Player Cards and/or Casino Credit for marker play from the casinos so you
can take care of those things conveniently from home before you even get to Vegas.
We will continue to add to these features over the next few months to provide a
wider selection other than just mainly Vegas based options that are currently presented.
NEW CRAPS CARD GAMES EMERGING
Two new craps games are emerging, somewhat similar to the card versions now in play
in many of the Indian owned gaming venues.
PLAY CRAPS is currently under review in Las Vegas at the Gaming Control Board and
another version using cards was presented in Vegas at the recent Gaming Convention.
Both versions are sit down for the players, one is a two dealer game and the other
a single dealer game. Both table versions sit 8 payers.
It will be interesting to see if these card based options catch a hold in Las Vegas
or in any other non-Indian major gaming venue.
For certain, the growing cult of so-called “DICE-SETTERS” or “PRECISION SHOOTERS”
will have difficulty working around a set of cards!
“TO” AND “FOR” TABLES, “DOWNTOWN” AND “STRIP” ODDS
Do you know the difference between a “TO” Table and a “FOR” Table? Or… the difference
between “DOWNTOWN” Odds and “STRIP” Odds?
If you are a Proposition Player (Bets in the MIDDLE of the table), you need to study
up a bit in order to maximize your bank by selecting a casino of choice that will
pay THE MOST on a WIN.
You can access all site content to see THE HOUSE EDGE AND ADVANTAGE of ALL wagers…
including TO and FOR tables… and a detailed breakdown of the differences between
DOWNTOWN and STRIP Odds, at NextShooter.com
