Video guides, tutorials, reviews and news.

Steve Bourie, author of America’s #1 best-selling book on casino gambling and travel has a YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/americancasinoguide that recently surpassed the one million views mark.

Bourie, who hosts the educational “how to gamble” videos, says the most popular video is titled “Slot Machines – How to Win and How They Work.” “Slots are always the most popular game in the casino, so it’s not surprising that a video about slot machines would be the most watched. We have another one titled ‘Slot Machines – When to Bet Maximum Coins’ that people also seem to enjoy,” he says.

Besides teaching the best gambling strategies in his videos, Bourie also interviews numerous other gambling experts. “A few months ago I traveled to Seattle to interview the co-leader of a blackjack card counting team that won more than $3 million from casinos during the past few years,” he says. “He was especially interesting to interview because a documentary movie was made about the team’s exploits and we were able to include the trailer for that movie in our video.”

There are currently 26 videos on his channel and Bourie uploads a new one each month. He started out in 2006 by producing monthly audio podcasts that featured interviews with famous gambling experts, plus other noted casino personalities. The entire archive of 52 podcasts can be found on his web site at http://www.americancasinoguide.com/gambling-podcasts where some of the topics covered include: strategies for winning at slots, video poker, blackjack, craps, roulette and baccarat; saving money on Las Vegas trips; travel tips on visiting Reno/Lake Tahoe, Tunica, Biloxi and Atlantic City; how to become a professional gambler; maximizing casino comps; problem gambling awareness; plus much more.

“More than 54 million people visit a U.S. casino every year,” says Bourie. “Unfortunately, the vast majority of them are ‘clueless’ when it comes to using the best strategies!”

Bourie’s 496-page book, American Casino Guide, has been published annually since 1992 and is widely known for its detailed information on more than 700 U.S. casino/resorts, riverboats and Indian casinos in 40 states.

The book is especially popular with casino-goers because it also contains 198 valuable coupons that can save travelers more than $1,000 at some of America’s favorite casino resorts, including: Harrah’s, Argosy, Caesars Palace, Golden Nugget, Flamingo, Rio, Mirage and many more. A full list of all 198 casino coupons can be found on the book’s web site at http://www.americancasinoguide.com

The book retails in bookstores for $18.95, but it can be bought on the American Casino Guide web site for only $11.75. The book also sells for a similar price on Amazon.com. “At that highly discounted price if someone uses just one or two of the 198 coupons it’s like getting the book for free!” says Bourie.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — (PRESS RELEASE) — The newly transformed Tropicana Las Vegas recently announced that 2006 WSOP Main Event Champion Jamie Gold will be named its Poker Spokesperson and Ambassador and Tropicana’s intimate poker room will be named “The Jamie Gold Poker Room.” Featuring an array of fan-focused events, unique experiences, memorabilia and a broad range of cash games and tournaments, “The Jamie Gold Poker Room” will also allow patrons to play with Gold for as little as $100 and will host an exclusive HIGH STAKES cash game on a monthly basis. Beginning Dec. 5, Gold will be present daily until the poker room’s mid-January official launch and on a monthly schedule thereafter.
 
 “The ownership and management of the new Tropicana, as well as Jamie, have an incredible vision for this relationship,” commented Gold’s agent, Randy Kasper of Poker Players International. “This deal is by far the biggest of its kind and the poker world will be shocked by many of the components as they are unveiled.”
 
 “For the past three years, I have been focusing on raising money around the globe for worthy causes,” said Gold, who has worked with such high profile organizations as the United Nations and Global Creative Forum. “It has been so rewarding; I couldn’t begin to put it into words. I will continue to live up to my nickname as ‘The Poker Philanthropist’ while at the same time getting back to the game I love which has given me countless opportunities.”
 
 Gold is the latest addition to Tropicana Las Vegas’ recently completed $180 million comprehensive transformation of the resort, with further expansion announcements to come in the near future. The relationship with Tropicana marks the re-emergence of the poker champion, known for winning the most coveted honor in poker and the $12 million largest prize in sports history, to the live poker scene. In addition, the relationship is one of a string of deals this year for Gold who, in early 2011, signed with Poker Players International (PPI) and a plan was created to move forward with a number of business ventures including www.jamiegold.com and www.freegoldpoker.com.
 
 “This deal with Tropicana covers everything I could have ever wanted in a relationship with a major Las Vegas Strip resort and it will serve as my anchor and the conduit to all of my future poker and philanthropic endeavors,” continued Gold. “I really couldn’t be more excited!”
 
 “We’re thrilled to welcome Jamie to the Tropicana family,” stated Melissa Steinberg, vice president of entertainment and casino operations at Tropicana Las Vegas. “This new poker room is sure to not only create unique and memorable gaming experiences for our guests, but will also give them the opportunity of a lifetime to play with one of the most iconic poker players of our time.”
