Vegas, Baby! The El Cortez and its Gangster Past
Whenever someone says “Las Vegas” it brings to mind flashing lights, casinos packed with high-rollers, and enough neon to light up the galaxy. But beneath all the glitz and glamour, there's a history that's a bit darker. Gangsters and organized crime once ruled in Sin City, and they built it by making some pretty shady deals. If you want to get a vibe of what that old school time in Las Vegas was like, then head to the El Cortez Hotel & Casino!
The El Cortez was built back in 1941. By the mid-40s, it had fallen into the hands of some of the biggest names in the mobster world. And that's where the interesting mob history begins!

The Psychology of Slot Machines
Slot machines are a mainstay of casinos around the world, and they're also one of the most popular forms of gambling entertainment. But what is it about these cute dancing pig machines that makes them so appealing? The answer lies in the psychology of slot machines.
Know the RTP to Unravel the Mystery of Slot Machine Payouts
Slot machines have captivated casino-goers for over a century with their vibrant lights, immersive sound effects, and the tantalizing promise of transforming a modest wager into a life-altering jackpot. But beneath the flashy exterior lies a critical concept every player should grasp: RTP (Return to Player).
What We Mean by “Spin Gain” When Playing Slot Machines
You may have just read our article titled A Simple to Remember Slot Machine Betting Strategy. One of the components of that strategy is to gain more spins and lower your overall average cost per spin in relation to your initial investment. However, you may ask, how do you "gain" spins on a slot machine? Easy, you get line pays as you play the slot machine. Essentially, this is a reinvestment of your small winnings as you play.
Counting Spins to Understand Coin-In
Let’s talk about how counting your spins can help you calculate your actual coin-in on a slot machine. This is a handy trick to understand how much you have really wagered over time, especially when you're reinvesting those smaller wins as you play. By counting your spins, you are keeping track of your total investment (as the casino sees it), which can be vastly different from what you invested out of pocket.
Our Simple Slot Machine Strategy
When you watch our YouTube videos of us playing slots, you will often hear us say the phrase, “20X or more, reduce your floor. 100X or more, head for the door!” This mantra refers to our simple slot machine money management strategy that helps us get the most of our entertainment budget by limiting our losses and maximizing our wins. You can use it too!
The Real “Reel” of It All
One of the things that we see online and in the comments on social media is that some believe that slot influencers are paid or sponsored by the casino for their streams and channels. We want to be clear. TC Gamble is not compensated by any casinos, their parent companies or any of their affiliates. All we receive are the same perks and benefits that you as a player can receive. Things like free or discounted meals, hotel stays, and the occasional tickets to an event or show. That’s it.
Terms and Terminologies We Use
As with many gamblers and casino goers, we have a vernacular all our own. Many of the terms we use are commonly used amongst gamblers and you are likely familiar with them. Some of our sayings are somewhat unique to us so we thought we would share the list below so that you do not get lost as we chat and you can follow along in our YouTube videos.
