New show!

I am pleased to announce that I finally have gotten my own show on 1180 AM radio station KCKQ in Reno Nevada. The name of the show is Casino Confidential, and it will be about all things having to do with casinos and gambling with an emphasis on technology, surveillance and blackjack.

The show premieres this afternoon, Tuesday, August 8th at 4 p.m. Pacific time, which is 11 p.m. (2300) GMT. In the Reno area you can tune in to 1180 a.m., or you can listen live on the internet at
http://amm.streamon.fm

I'm especially excited to announce that my first guest will be world renown Casino consultant Bill Zenger. Bill and I will be discussing the recent blackjack exploits of professional poker player Phil Ivey, plus what Russian hackers have been up to with slot machines.

I will post a link on this blog later once I have an FTP site setup to download previous episodes. I will also eventually have the show on Apple iTunes and on Podbean.

We will also get into other table games, slot machines and sports betting. And of course we will be talking about all of the scams and techniques used to try and cheat the house.

I will also be taking questions over the phone to anyone who wants to call in. The phone number is 844-790-8255, which is a toll free number. You can also Twitter questions or comments to me, my Twitter handle is @casinologger.  I will also soon have a Facebook show page up and running.

So be sure to listen in this afternoon at 4 p.m. if you can.

What's the surveillance room like? Repost

This is a repost of a post I made about a year ago, but I feel like it bares s repeating. Enjoy. I got another good question last week, from a reader wanting to know what a surveillance room is like, how it is laid out and how it is staffed and run.  So here goes. I have worked in surveillance departments at six different casinos in the last 25 years. Some very small (300 slots, 6 blackjack tables) and some very big (3000 slots, 60-70 table games of all kinds). When I started in the early 90's it was all VCRs and not all cameras were recorded all the time. We used a lot of "multi-plexers" and "quad screens". A multi-plexer used one VCR to display and record up to 16 screens on one monitor. Since the VCR still records at 30 frames per second, that meant that if you did a review on any one of those 16 screens you would be looking at a "freeze frame" effect, where you only got 1.8 frames per second of the shot you were looking at. A quad would record ...

Reader question.

OK well, I'm back to posting after about a 6 month. I absence. Sorry I was in and out of the hospital with a bunch of problems, but I'm all better now So i noticed that during my abs. Since I got a few questions from readers, I would like to answer one of them now. So the question is, how much money should you take with you to the casino? the answer is of course, if depends. If you happen to be one of the lucky people who live in a jurisdiction where legalize cambling is allowed. And it's a place that you go to to have fun or relax, Or just have some excitement in your life, then that will be a different amount that you will want to take with you as opposed to someone who is making a trip to Vegas that they make only once a year. And if you live Nevada, like I do and you go into casinos all the time, then that will be a different answer as well. As a general rule of thumb. I don't walk into a casino. Unless I have a $100 that I am willing to lose. If you don...
