Honestly your honesty and the banter with the employees are heart and soul Thank you for the content

This was a pretty good episode. This is where David's years of experience really shine, because he's so good at explaining all the things that have changed. I wonder if you can do a companion episode in the future, about things that have changed in favor of the customer (if you can find any).

only one thing is better now, bubble craps machines (he might say keno machines lol) I'm older, so go back farther than David, when Vegas was real fun & real VALUE.

I couple of years ago, I walked the casino floor at NYNY and Excalibur and plucked sub $1 payout coupons out of machines abandoned by their owners, thrown on the floor, etc. Ended up getting about $5 out of it lol

Big innovations include the boards for roulette and baccarat. I broke in at the Gold Coast when they had no boards for either game. They also didn't have peekers on the blackjack tables.

i agree with David and most people here, my first trip to vegas was in the late 1990s. 99cent shrip cockails at Golden Gate, Foot long Hotdog at New Frontier (cheap). Fun books at Slots-o-fun. I would be sure to drop at least $20 in a slot machine while visiting knowing that they were loss leaders. I just came to vegas to kill time and have a fair chance at a win. Winning $100 or more on a slot machine was a fantastic feeling. I miss the old Las Vegas. (Shareholders) creating the greed of profit, profit, profit. thats killing the vibe in las vegas right now.

Vegas is the way it is now due to lack of competition, back in the day almost every casino was owned by a different entity. Now corporations are forced due to shareholders to get a profit from every aspect of the business. Food, drinks, entertainment, rooms,etc.

It's not so much that casinos are trying to screw players as that players either don't care or actively resist advice that will help them. Even though it's indisputably true that the best bets in craps are Pass, Come, Don't Pass and Don't Come, all with at least 1x odds.... and that these bets have half the house edge of the ever-popular place bets on the 6/8.... I get nothing but insults and derision every time I try to educate players about it. These players have absolutely no understanding of probability, they don't know the meaning of house edge, but they insist they can learn nothing from anyone else, and that if a bet is popular, that proves that it's the best (which is the only argument they have).

I can testify how true this is. Just got back from Vegas and seeing 6:5 BJ tables packed at Paris, Bally's LV (Bally's AC is FAR better than its Vegas counterpart nowadays with all 3:2 games with Surrender and all), and the Golden Nugget made me cringe. I have to single out the Nugget in particular as not only did I not see any 3:2 for less than $50/hand in the high limit area, but the signage revealing whether the game in question was 3:2 or 6:5 used a very small font on its display--which made it harder for me to discern what kind of payout said BJ had for a Natural without being close to the table. Thank God for places like South Point---where $10 3:2 Double Deck BJ still reigns supreme.

Dang it I was on when you started and had to get off because we got some unexpected company. OMG we went several times a year to Vegas, we started staying DT at the Vegas Club and moved to Station Casino way before they built the tower. Station Casinos are for us by far the Best Casinos ever, heck we would go there for a long weekend and never leave the property. Our 1st Casino was in around 1995 it is the here in Missouri. If we ever go back to Vegas you will be our 1 and only stop. Enjoy all your Videos, David, Alex and Dennis, you are all so Fantastic, Friendly and Informative. Watched your trip to Oklahoma and you and Dennis driving home .. by the way we will never go to the Monarch LOL. Thank You for all the information you share. We can tell you all enjoy what you are doing and are the way Las Vegas USED to be. Next time come to Missouri ... Please !!!!

one of the best. I love the honesty. You guys are awesome. Casino Quest is a winning business. Because of you guys i will seek out boyd and Station Casinos. thanks for the honesty.

The casino I go to gives us free rooms anytime, match play (depends on play amount), and 4 drinks a day. I feel like it could be better. No special VIP lines for the buffet, restaurants, or anything like that anymore.

Where can I find all the strategies that you guys show in your videos? Are they available for downloading as there are so many of them and sometimes I get them intertwined together. Thanks!!! As always great content!!!

Best Value I got was last year ... Tropicana Gave me Free Suite 3 nights $1400 in Free Bet 7 ($200 free bets) $800 doing credit at Resort .... I spent $100 total I put $800 on black and $500 in $25 chips on red ... and won guaranteed money

Oh man those coupon books were great… even around 2010 I still got a coupon book with great stuff in it the first time I stayed at a property… best coupon was a $5 steak and beer deal. I hesitated to use it thinking it was going to be crap… the steak was an actual 12 oz choice sirloin with a full pint of beer and 2 sides, I couldn’t believe it.

I love what you said about a budget meter for players! Many good nuggets dropped in this rant! Thoroughly enjoyed.

Love the content guys my hats off to you keeping it real! dont sell out to the system! ❤👍👏🍻 Cheers my friends!

This was a GREAT video! I hope CQ thrives.

Would like to see an episode on recommended casinos off the main strip! I've also heard great things about Ellis Island 🔊

I can’t agree more, GET OFF THE STRIP!! Station Casino’s, Green Valley & Red Rock are fabulous places to play. Great comps, great restaurants great people working at these places. Looking forward to their new place Durango.

I love Station and Boyd also. Great vid! Thanks DnD! 👊🏼

Right, I saw a guy sitting down yesterday with $700 and played for about 15 minutes and lost it all. I can't help but wonder where the heck they all get it! That's more than I make per week. I was at grand serra in Reno. And I was at a $10 table with a constant shuffle, It was my first and last time trying against a continuous shuffle machine, I saw the table get wiped, new players wiped again etc, this happened 5 times in one hour and everyone including me lost it all quickly

There's a machine in one of the Casinos in Atlantic City, NJ where it PAYS 100% once it reach the $100 BET for a $100.00 WIN, so, I use to watch the machine and wait until a player leaves and I take over till it hits the $100.00 dollar bet, take the winnings leave or wait again. Not sure if it's still there.

Great video. Thank You

My local casinos have atms that cash out change with no charge.

I just got back from my first trip, was very disappointed that almost everything I wanted to play was $25 min. I still had fun but it didn't last long of course. And the fact poker rooms are far and few between now.

The cashout machines not dispensing all of your money is a scam. Boyd properties still give back all of your money.

What can you say about casinos that have blackjack that deals only an up card to the dealers but no down card? This is quite common in casinos from the Philippines. If you think about it, your first hit, should have been the dealer's down card.

Is it true dealers would pool tips and split among the shift?

I used one of your systems to play roulette. I bet 50 on first and third thirds. I put 5 on each number in the middle third except for the 16 and 19. First roll came up 1 and I broke even. Second roll came 0 and I lost. If I didn’t know better I would swear their was some kind of manipulation going on with the wheel. This happened in Cherokee NC

Next time have a larger bankroll and find a place to bet smaller … when you’re starting roulette, I would never bet more than like $10 total on the table per spin. You can find plenty of roulette $5 minimum with 0/double 0 … even on the strip in the weekday daytime.

WOW!!! Your HAIR LOOKS AWESOME!!! You are a good looking young man!!! I saw it long, this looks soooo much better!!!! 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉

El Cortez has coin machines still too

This is become the norm for every business. Constant upselling, ads, etc. capitalism will keep going until it cant, and when it cant is when shit collapses.

i would not play craps because i didnt know how so i learned from you guys so now i play all the time

Awesome job guys :)

What that DTG pit boss didn't realize is that for a lot of us, if I'm at a $10 minimum table, I'm probably in for at least 20 a hand, which really isn't that far off from the 25 they tried to stick you with. The casino game is 50% numbers and 50% psychology.

Thanks.

Just like Disney, it’s all about the profit once you become a public traded stock

I think they are cheating at black jack. I can play with two decks at home and no matter if I play one hand or two, I can win 50% of the hands, In two decks I can deal about 20 hands, I win 9, 10, 11, of twenty very consistently, and dealer wins 9, 10, 11 very consistently. But I can go to a casino and lose 5-10 times back to back sometimes, and go bankrupt quite often... .. So why the difference? I don't think they are deciding every hand, but I do think the shuffle machines are shuffling in a way that's favorable for the casino some how

Vegas has changed, like you David, I remember getting coupon books, 99 cent hot dog and shrimp cocktail. 5 dollar tables. Now it’s just 15 dollar min, and make what ever they can

Warning: long story from someone who doesn’t really know the technical terms for these things, but I’m learning :) What you’re seeing is the application of computer based profit maximization. Giant data analytics engines figure out exactly what they need to do to maximize profit, while sacrificing some people’s happiness ultimately losing some customers they are still making more money. Take for instance classic ticket pricing: set a couple of price tiers to make sure that the best seats get filled for the highest value and then have enough demand to fill the medium seats and let the cheap seat fill themselves. Enter modern pricing: Find out what the highest price you can set where demand actually dips below supply but highest total value is preserved…. Say 50% of people are willing to pay an outrageous price and the rest of the seats remain unsold, but you still sold end up with more total money in the end. Rather than make the people happy and take slightly less profit, you squeeze out every drop from them. This model does not account for long-term stability of the property however. Eventually customers will become upset and you will lose loyalty. The problem in Las Vegas is that there are so many people from around the world coming that it’s unlikely for those numbers to go down enough for them to get the message

One of my fave rants right here

Ready?

Would like to pilot the service you’re talking about

Hearing about toxic coworkers....try working at the government haha

I think because of the higher interest rates and potential recession coming, you’re going to see Vegas have a huge drop in pricing and raising of benefits to get people to start coming again.

There's actually more of a house edge on a hard 8 in craps, than on red in triple-0 roulette (meaning, the triple-0 table is a better bet) Sure triple-0 is not the greatest choice, but the same goes for a lot of craps bets, which hardly anyone criticizes.

The hard 8 is an optional single bet which can be easily avoided. Adding the third zero on the roulette wheel affects and increases the house edge of the entire game.

Harder and harder to find small decks, proper payouts (3:2) and dealer stands on soft 17, which in my opinion are the most important table rules.

Roulette not rigged, haha. There's many, a video right here on youtube from a roulette maker that specifically says it is made to avoid big losses. Play small they won't push the button.

I don't get the hate for systems in roulette/craps/etc. You can bring cheat sheets for playing optimal at most casinos. It's the exact same thing. I could see some craps systems being frowned upon by dealers if it's a lot of money moving up and down, back and forth, but that's the game.

om dedy cobuzier sekarang kok pake bahasa Inggris terus sih 😂😂

It because they think you all are uneducated. Which is a crock of crap. But the college types with "super" degrees can't be told anything. They think you all are the leeches of the casino. But again a crock of crap. You all keep doing you and hold the line and we'll hold line with you.

You stated "place bets pay better"? No they don't. Free odds pays better. Explain to me how getting paid 7 to 6 is better than getting paid 6 to 5. So to get free odds you make Pass and Come bets for table minimum. Who cares if you're "anchored to a contract"? Why is that bad? How much money is that worth to you? You're willing to win less to avoid "anchoring", whatever that means? We play this game to win, not to "avoid anchoring". Give me one real reason that "anchoring" is so bad that it's worth sacrificing winnings to avoid it. Being paid less to "avoid anchoring" makes as much sense as being paid less to use yellow instead of red dice. You're giving up real money and getting something meaningless in return. Plus, every contract bet WINS 49.3% of the time! (Placing the 6/8 wins only 45% of the time). Pass and Come are great bets, even if it WEREN'T for the free odds... there is ZERO downside to contract bets. I'll take "anchoring" if that means I win more. You go on and on about how important payout tables are in slots and keno, but you have a blind spot when it comes to craps. House Edge is EXACTLY the same as a payout table. A high house edge is EXACTLY the reason why triple-0 roulette is a bad bet. You obviously know these concepts but you don't apply them to craps. When it comes to craps, the best house edge for the player is Pass and Come bets (as well as DP and DC) with at least 1x odds (odds working on the come-outs), which is a house edge of 0.8% (less than 1%). No other bet or strategy comes close to that low.

Given the same total wager, Place bets pay better… until you get to some high odds multiples. Place bet 6or8 $30 pays $35 , $10 come with x2 odds ($20) pays $10+$24 =$34. Even if you have a $5 minimum, place 6 pays $35 still vs come $5 with 5x odds ( $25) pays $35 so you’re tied there but that’s it. ( and the difference only increases… $60 place=$70, come $20 w x2 odds ($40) = $68… etc etc

@@MurderMostFowl you are totally ignoring the LIKELIHOOD OF WINNING. You can't just look at payout and avoid likelihood. A place bet on 6/8 may "pay better" but it only has a 45% chance of winning. Come and Pass bets have over a 49% chance of winning, which makes their slightly lower payouts pay MORE because you WIN MORE OFTEN. You are also ignoring wins in 7/11 first rolls on Pass and Come bets (as if they don't exist) in your "calculations"
