American Casino Guide

Greetings!

In this month's casino profile we head to the mid-west and the outskirts of Chicago to visit the Harrah's in Joliet, Illinois.

The podcast this month is with video poker expert Linda Boyd who talks about some of the latest changes and adaptations to the game.

Our guest gaming writer is Bill Burton who takes a look at using alternatives to bringing large amounts of cash with you to the casino.

And, finally, don't forget that the voting polls are now open to let us know your favorite casinos in the U.S. When you vote you will also be eligible to win a FREE copy of next year's American Casino Guide. Look below for more details.

We hope you enjoy these articles and we thank you for your interest in the American Casino Guide!

Join us for a "Meet & Greet" in Las Vegas in late June

We are making arrangements with a major Las Vegas casino to host a two-hour event for some gaming authors to get together and meet with their fans.

I will be hosting the event and it will be free to attend. There will also be free drawings for door prizes, plus a "Q&A" session where you will be able to ask questions of all the authors. 

The "Meet & Greet" will take place on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in late June and we should have all of the details for you in our next newsletter.

Using credit cards has also become a way of life.
