3 Common Roulette Myths Busted

If you’re ever stepped foot in a casino, there’s a good chance you’ve found yourself standing around a roulette table crossing your fingers for your numbers to hit! Like most popular casino games, the myths revolving around roulette certainly abound. That’s why we’re here to bust some of the most common myths right now.

Myth #1: Every roulette wheel is exactly the same.
Half true. While all American wheels are the same, and all European wheels are the same, the two types differ from each other slightly. European wheels have only 37 slots, while American wheels have 38. This changes that house odds from 2.70% to 5.25% respectively.

Myth #2: Numbers or colors that have hit previously have an effect on future outcomes.
False! No matter what has been played before, the odds of each individual spin are always exactly the same. The odds of hitting red or black are always 50/50, and the chances of hitting and particular number are always 1 in 38.

Myth #3: A good mathematician can beat the roulette odds.
Unlike in blackjack, there’s no way to predict which numbers will hit in roulette. This is because, as we said, each spin is completely independent of the previous, as well as the next.

Roulette is completely left to chance with no strategy required, which is what makes it so appealing to novice gamblers. If you’re looking for a game that every one of your guests can enjoy equally, roulette is definitely the entertainment option for you!

5 Types of Parties to Master

Life is full of celebrations, but it’s important to keep in mind that a party is only as good as it is memorable. That being said, here’s how to up the ante with some of life’s most memorable party moments.

  1. Bridal Shower – We’re all bound to have a close family member or friend who’s ready to tie the knot someday. So, when that day comes, make sure you’re prepared to throw the best bridal party ever! Keep in mind that the decor and party theme should be soft and bright, but should also tap into the couple’s passions and their story with one another.
  1. Housewarming – One day you’ll finally have your own place to call home. Whether that be your first apartment, your starter home after marriage, or the dream home you’ve been working towards for years — a housewarming party will certainly be in order! The best way to warm a home is by inviting friends and family to a themed dinner party, with matching entertainment.
  1. Milestone Birthday – Thirty? Fifty? One hundred? No matter which birthday milestone your loved ones are approaching, you better be ready to throw them the best party possible. Birthday’s are about celebrating life, so make sure to have plenty of photos displayed and lively entertainment to get your guests going.
  1. Retirement – The day has finally come — your loved one is hanging up their hat and closing a chapter in their life in search of something new and exciting. A retirement party should be lively and exhilarating, much like the adventure your loved one is about to embark on in the next phase of their life. That means entertainment is important to make the night memorable!
  1. Summer Party- The most popular of annual extravaganzas is the summer party. As we head into the warmer weather, start thinking of how you’ll incorporate summer fun into your annual party again this year. Don’t forget a tent for inclement weather, and a BBQ menu to celebrate the season.

Master the Art of Bluffing in Poker

It has often been said that the ability to bluff, and bluff well, is what sets a good poker player apart from a great one. Well, here at Casinos by M&M, we couldn’t agree more! Learning how to pull off a bluff in a game of poker can completely change your odds and help you win the pot — but only if it’s done right!

    1. Be selective. Playing every hand will tarnish your credibility as a bluffer! Instead, carefully select which hands you play and which you do not. That way, people will take you seriously when you bluff a good hand, thinking you must have something if you’re still in.

 

    1. Keep it small. Bluffing can backfire in a crowd. Try to stick to a strict “two players or less” rule whenever you decide to bluff. It’s more difficult to intimidate more than two players at a time.

 

    1. Stay away from newbies. Rookie poker players are unpredictable and will often call bets regardless of what their hand looks like. That means your bluffing skills might lose you a hand, no matter how good they might be.

 

    1. Consistency is key. A bluff works best when you’ve already been playing consistently. By then, other players will feel like they’re able to anticipate your next move, which makes blindsiding them with a good bluff easier.

 

  1. Limit your bluffs. Bluffing all the time is dangerous for many reasons. For one, the skills to pull off a good bluff come with time and experience, so bluffing often is a gamble. In addition, other players will pick up on your bluffs if you try to trick them frequently.

Ready to test your skills and bluff your buddies at your next casino party or poker night? Why not up the ante a bit more with some authentic casino poker tables as well? Our tables are available in a variety of different game types and come equipped with a friendly, knowledgeable and professional dealer. What more could you ask for?

4 Steps to Make a Party Memorable

Planning a party can definitely be stressful, especially if it’s for a large event like a wedding, sweet 16 or retirement party. Luckily, there are just 4 simple steps you need to take to ensure that your food, entertainment and venue choices all come together for a truly memorable party experience.

iStock_000013892768_Medium

  1. Don’t forget the favors. Party favors are your last chance to make a good impression. Try to choose a favor that’s reusable, like a custom deck of cards for a casino party for example. That way, your guests will think back on all the fun they had every time they deal a hand!
  1. Plan according to your guests. When selecting a venue, date and time, make sure you take your guests schedules into account. While it’s certainly not possible to accommodate all, try selecting a party date that works best for most and is decently local so you have a better turnout.
  1. Have great entertainment. The number one thing that people remember about party is the entertainment. Think outside the box and surprise your guests by rolling in some poker tables on your wedding day, or booking some cigar girls to shower them in snacks.
  1. Be a good host. At the end of the day it’s not only important to throw a good party, but to have a good time as the host. Make sure that you’ve planned enough before hand, so that you’re able to mingle with your guests and enjoy the festivities on the day of the event.

When you work with Casinos by M&M, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind in knowing that every aspect of your entertainment will be taken care of by us. We believe it’s just as important for you to have a good time, as it is for your guests, and we intend to see to it that you do!

Craziest Bets in Vegas History

Whether you’d like to admit it or not, you know you’ve imagined what it would be like to wager your life’s savings in a Las Vegas casino and come out a billionaire. While the prospect of winning millions in a matter of minutes might be tempting, most people resist the urge for fear of losing it all to the gambling gods. However, there have been quite a few times where people let their curiosity get the best of them, and for some it paid off in a big way!

William Lee Bergstrom – “Go big, or go home” was definitely the motto of the day when Bergstrom walked into the Horseshoe in 1980 with $777,000 in a suitcase and bet it all on craps in one sitting. Luckily, his risky maneuver paid off, doubling his money in seconds.

John Hennigan – What happens when you bet a high-stakes, Las Vegas loving gambler that he can’t last living six weeks out in rural Des Moines, Iowa? Well, in Hennigan’s case, that gambler loses a $100,000 bet in just two days.

Bob Stupak – In 1989, Stupak went down in history as the man to place the single largest bet Las Vegas has ever seen. A casino owner himself, Stupak had a soft spot for gambling on football games — a soft spot that made him a pretty penny after betting one million dollars on the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl that year.

Stu Ungar – A man of mysterious memory abilities! Ungar is noted as one of the best blackjack players of all time, due in large part to his ability to keep track of cards as they land on the table. Our football gambling millionaire friend Bob Stupak decided to challenge Ungar’s skills, betting him $100,000 that he couldn’t memorize three decks of cards in a row — and boy was he wrong!

Do you think you’re ready to risk it all for the chance to take home the pot? If you choose Casinos by M&M for your next party, you can — with funny money of course!

Slot Machine Strategies For The Win

When it comes to playing slots, there unfortunately aren’t any surefire ways to win big. Unlike many table gambling games, slot machines really do leave it all up to chance. However, there are a few strategies that a slot machine player can employ to give them a bit of an upper hand, whether betting big or small.

Happy woman in a casino.

Know your losses in advance. That’s right! The number one rule of gambling is to determine what your willing to wager before hand — and stick to it. Make it so the money in your pocket is all you’ve got to work with, that way you’ll never feel like you’ve lost it all, even if you didn’t win.

Know your slot machines. There are two different types of slot machines — class II and class III. While both are very similar on the outside, their internal workings differ. Class III machines are equipped with a random number generator (RNG), which ensures that each spin is completely random, where class II spins are pre-programmed and winners therefore predetermined.

Know who’s regulated. Whenever possible, always play at casinos and gambling facilities that are state-regulated. This will ensure that the slot machines available are indeed class III, giving you the best and more fair odds. Stay away from casinos on Indian reservations, as they are not generally not regulated.

Know when to take a break. It’s very easy to become mesmerized by bright, flashing lights that many modern day slot machines exhibit. That being said, make sure to give yourself a break at least once every 2 hours, removing yourself from the casino completely. When you sit for longer than 2 hours your brain becomes fatigued which could lead to rash and dangerous decisions.

The History of Poker Chips

Today, poker chips are a staple of casinos and gambling worldwide, but this was not always the case. In fact, these valuable tokens were not even a thought until the 1880s.

Casino chips on gaming table

Way back when, in the nineteenth century, poker players would wager small tokens of value in place of modern day poker chips. These included tiny nuggets of gold and even gold dust. While wagering personal property and gold as currency was the norm back then, the need for a standardized betting solution was definitely evident.

In reaction to this desperate need, casino and saloon owners began handing out their own standardized substitutes, including pieces of ivory, bone, and clay. However, as you can imagine these were very easy to replicate and many early gamers caught onto this quickly. This prompted owners to begin customizing their betting tokens with personalized symbols.

And so, the idea for a standardized poker chip was born! In the 1880s entrepreneurs began to realize the potential capital gain that would come from mass producing a standard poker chip, and so they set out creating them from clay composition — just like the poker chips we know today.

The invention of the poker chip changed the way the game of poker was played and revolutionized the gaming industry as a whole. These days, casinos owners and poker chips manufacturers are better equipped to handle and catch counterfeiters. Each chip has it’s own unique weight, texture and feel. Some are even manufactured with microchips or serial numbers for added protection.

Here at Casinos by M&M, we take our poker chips seriously, using only the most authentic chips for our wide variety of poker game options. If you’re looking for a genuine, real-life casino experience, we’ve got you covered no matter the occasion!

This simple philosophy has made us the most sought-after casino party company in the industry, and here’s a testimonial from one of our satisfied customers to prove it:

From the time I made the initial phone call to your company, regarding my husband’s surprise 40th birthday, I was impressed. I was not familiar with casino parties, nor was I totally sold on the idea. But after talking to you and Pat, whom by the way is another sweetheart, I have to say I realized I was dealing with professionals.

You and your staff explained everything to me in detail and put me more at ease. I was still a little nervous about the whole thing because I wanted things done just right. Being a person as such, I called your office a number of times with questions that you or Pat was eagerly willing to answer. You realized I was nervous and you kept assuring me everything would be fine. For this I thank you.

The big night was just that, big grand, fabulous and most of all professional and fun. The slots, the blackjack tables, the roulette table, craps table, and “funny money”, were all a hit, to say the least. The dealers were professional and one nicer than the other. Please extend my thanks to them for me again.

Things worked out just as you said they would. You more than surpassed any expectations I had. I was ecstatic, and best of all my husband was totally impressed. Friends called my house telling me it was the best party they were ever at. It is now October, the party was in August, and my friends and I still talk about it!

Once again, I’d like to thank you and your staff for a successful, fabulous party.

Sincerely,
Gloria Palermo
Totally Satisfied Customer
