Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Among the hottest casino games today are the video poker and related machines. Frank Scoblete knows and tells which machines offer the best odds and what strategies give you the biggest payouts on each. In some cases, the proper strategy will even tip the odds in your favor. Along the way he also explains machines for such similar games as video blackjack, video craps and video keno; wisely discusses money management and takes time out for bits of pure fun. Pay special attention to the chapter on whether casinos cheat at video games--it could influence where and how you play.

"The Virgin Kiss," the story of Frank's outrageous adventures in and out of the casinos.
Frank grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Our Lady of Angels grammar school. He attended St. John's Prep high school on a full athletic scholarship for baseball and basketball.
Switching directions, Frank attended college on a full, academic scholarship. In college, Frank boxed ("I was pummeled in my last fight. I have no memory of the last seven minutes.") and wrote for the school paper. He majored in history, literature and philosophy.
In 1975, Frank decided to try his hand at acting ("I've always been a ham!"). In 1979, Frank co-founded a professional touring troupe that played dinner theatres, resorts, and charities. From 1979 until he sold his share of the company in 1989, Frank produced, directed and acted in over 50 plays.
In 1986, Frank was researching the lead role for the hit play, The Only Game in Town - the story of a down-and-out gambler in Las Vegas. His co-star was Alene Paone. They went to Atlantic City to research their roles. "I was hooked. I began to realize that I enjoyed the casinos even more than I enjoyed working in the theatre." Alene and Frank toured in the play for four months, fell in love, and married.
In 1989, Frank sold his share of the theatre company and began his career as a gaming writer with articles and short stories for Win Magazine. In the 1990s Frank became a columnist for Casino Player Magazine and Midwest Gaming and Travel.
With the phenomenal success of his first book published in 1991 - which has subsequently become the best-selling craps book of all time - Frank began a successful climb to the top of the gaming mountain. He is now the most well known, respected and sought-after gaming writer and speaker in the country.
He has appeared frequently on television including the History Channel, A&E where his dice control team defeated three casinos in unedited action, also the Travel Channel, CNN, TBS, and the National Geographic Channel, among others. Frank has done hundreds of radio shows throughout the country.
Frank has two very popular websites: www.scoblete.com in association with CasinoCity.com; also www.goldentouchcraps.com. He has a private members-only website as well.
A charismatic speaker, Frank has been featured at many festivals, conventions and schools where he motivates people to get the "winning attitude."
He has also done "Frank Scoblete's Gamblers Jamborees" at many hotels across the country.
He has given talks at bookstores throughout the country, and also at libraries, charitable organizations, at fund-raising activities and at the Learning Anex.
Frank does about 15 private classes a year in craps where he and his Golden Touch team of dice experts teach players how to control the dice when they throw. One casino executive referred to him and his partner Dominator as the "Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid of casino advantage play."
His recent DVD is Golden Touch: Beat Craps by Controlling the Dice which shows over 200 unedited controlled dice throws by Dominator, the world's greatest dice controller, best selling author Bill Burton, gaming expert Jerry "Stickman" and Frank himself.
Frank has been a regular contributor and columnist for over 50 magazines and newspapers in America, Canada, and the Islands. He is widely syndicated on the internet. You can go to www.goldentouchcraps.com for more information about him.

Video Poker is Different,
By A Customer
This review is from: Victory at Video Poker (Paperback)
Video poker is not like regular poker and Scoblete explains why in this wonderful book. Many of the hands in regular poker are played with beating other poker players in mind. Not so with video poker. Here you are trying to get the best five card hand in order to get payouts and bonuses. Scoblete explains the strategies you need in order to play over 100 video poker variations successfully. This book is honest and explains what games are worth playing and what games aren't. He also analyzes the gaming regulations concerning the programming of machines in Atlantic City, Nevada and other jurisdictions. Not all jurisdictions have the same rules for video poker machines. This book is well researched and should be read by everyone interested in video poker. Scoblete also has some very funny anecdotes and stories which prevent this book from being dry.

Video Poker is the Game to Play,
By Mark Poppa (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Victory at Video Poker (Paperback)
Because video poker often has a positive expectation, it is the one machine game that really offers the player the chance to get the best of the casinos. The only caveat to that statement is that you must select the best machines and play the proper strategies on those machines. This book shows you exactly how to do both ofthose things. In addition to selection and stategies, Frank Scoblete explains how the machines are programmed and what that means for your expectation. This is a solid book and easy to understand.

The Best Book on Video Poker,
By A Customer
This review is from: Victory at Video Poker (Paperback)
Victory at Video Poker is the best book on this topic. It convers all the best games Jacks or Better Draw Poker, Deuces Wild, Joker Poker and most of their variations. The strategies are presented in a clear and concise way and can be copied and brought to the casinos. There are great sections on how to judge if a video poker machine is a high paying one or a low paying one. If you want to have a good shot at taking the casino's money, video poker is the game to play. There are also sections covering video blackjack, video craps and video keno. This is a really complete book and worth getting.
