Hello Wiz and Wiz-Fans - I visit casinos in AC and Vegas very occasionally - maybe 3-4 times year. If I walk in with $100, what are your recommendations for game play? $10 blackjack? Passline+Odds at $10 craps? Quarter poker slots? Given the high table minimums in AC these days, it's tough to figure out the best playing strategy.

Blackjack requires you to change your bet often in order to maintain it's low house edge and would have a higher edge if you only had 2-3 units left since you would not have enough for several doubles and splits. You should go for either a low denomination game with high variance or a high denomination game with low variance. Do you like baccarat?

$10 BJ or craps, you could last about five minutes if you're unlucky.
Play .25 video poker. You'll get a couple of hours' play practically no matter what--and you might even win!
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.---George Bernard Shaw
