Slot news everywhere

Mardi Gras has rolled out linked progressive slots, which build up jackpots faster.

Meanwhile, The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino's Las Vegas style slots officially debut today, although some reports said people were playing them over the weekend. I'm going to their press conference today at 11:30 and will file a report here later.

And then there's this tale of a guy who goes to buy jeans for girlfriend, but ends up playing slots and winning $800,000 in Atlantic City. Doesn't it always happen this way?

About the author

Maybe you've made the right play, maybe you haven't. Your heart speeds up, your stomach rumbles.

That's why it's called gambling.

ACTION is a view of the numbers, the psychology and the flavor of gambling here in South Florida, through our lens.

We do have one sure bet. There's something here for you.

NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
