Sam's Town, Tunica Gaming Seminar

I've written about free casino lessons and how they help players to learn the basics of the game. These lessons are good for teaching you the protocol for playing at the table but in most cases the education stops there with only a slight mention of proper playing strategy. Rarely will these lessons go into detail explaining the house edge and which bets are best for the player, That's why I was surprised when I learned about a unique event that will take place at Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall in Tunica Mississippi.

On Saturday May 20th Sam's Town is hosting a free gaming seminar for its player's club members featuring Frank Scoblete gaming's number one best-selling author and slot expert John Robison in a day of talks and seminars about casino gaming. Walter Thomason, author of the best-selling Twenty-First Century Blackjack: A New Strategy for a New Millennium and Alene Paone, publisher of Paone Press and writer of Just Ask AP, a syndicated gaming column will be participating in the various activities planned the day as well.

When Frank sent me the information about the Sam's  Town event. He said, "I'm very excited about this event because it is rare when a casino invites gaming experts to talk to their players. Some casino executives have lived by the 'mantra the dumber our players, the better we like it.' But Sam's Town is breaking the mold in a daring way because they are saying to their Players' Club Card members, 'Hey, we're willing to give you the best shot at our money and to prove it, we'll help you attain the best possible information.'"

Frank invited me to join him in Tunica and I accepted his invitation. I will be at Sam's Town on Saturday May 20th and I encourage all of you who live in the area to stop by and join in on this event. Here are the scheduled activities for the day.
