Gambling Zines
Dateline: 09/07/98
Online magazines, commonly referred to as “Zines” have increased in popularity lately. You can usually find one or two on any subject if you search awhile on the net. Some advantages of the Zines are the ability to publish news, changes and updates immediately without the delay time of the magazines having to go to the printer. A few of these will even e-mail a notice of the changes to readers who sign up for a “Newsflash”. Another nice thing about Zines is they are FREE. There are a several gambling Zines available to you one the internet. The following is a few that I have found. While not all of them are updated as timely as the others, they all are worth taking a look at.
Rolling Good Times is the premiere gambling Zine on the internet. They were the first and in my opinion are the best. RGT defines itself as the “Comprehensive online magazine for gaming enthusiasts..Hot tips, news and advice to make you a better player” They accomplish this with articles by such well known gambling authors as Larry Edell, Frank Scoblete, Henry Tamburin and a host of others. You can sign up for the “News Flash” and be contacted with the updates that happen weekly.
The Gamemaster is billed as the “Zine with an attitude for the man about town with a focus and commitment on winning” Gamemaster delivers on this promise with timely news stories and some solid articles about all the games. You can find advice on anything from horse racing to Video Poker. Columnist include Chuck Wenstein from Conjelco and Mark Pilarski and some excellent advice from “The Gamemaster.” An E-mail “News Flash” is also available to those wishing to be notified of updates.
Bettor’s Luck offers a fine variety of interesting articles for gamblers. News stories and gambling advice columns are updated monthly. You can even find a humour feature and your gambling “Horoscope”. Some of this months articles discuss topics from Megabucks to Beginners Baccarat. I think this is one of the up and coming zines.
Gamblers Den is also a newer entry to the gambling zines. You can find the a wide range of articles and information concerning the gaming industry. I’m not sure how often this one is updated.
Each one of these Zines has something of interest. Take a few moments to check them out. For your convenience you can access them from this site. Just click on the News link on the right side of the home page.
