About this site
Casino Player is the consumer magazine brand of Casino Player Publishing, an independent Atlantic City / Galloway, New Jersey publisher that also produces sister title Strictly Slots. Glenn Fine and partners launched the B2C magazines in 1988 after earlier Casino Journal trade work; Lisa Robertson-Dziedzic now publishes both titles, and GGB has called them the last national US player-facing gaming magazines still in print. The digital hub is casinocenter.com, which still shows current 2026 covers, Frank Scoblete strategy columns on slots, blackjack, and roulette, a nationwide casino-entertainment listing, and property news from Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and regional racinos. List casinocenter.com only; strictlyslots.com is a thinner sister domain.
Its clearest differentiator versus CDC Gaming and Indian Gaming Magazine is the job. Those listings are B2B trade newsrooms; Casino Player is written for frequent players at US land-based casinos. It is also distinct from Gaming Today, a digital US sports-betting affiliate, from Wizard of Odds, a math-led strategy reference, and from Las Vegas Advisor, a membership travel product kept off this directory. Casino.org and similar review brands rank online casinos; this brand still centres print-and-digital player magazines.
Because Best of Gaming, Best of Slots, Best of Dining & Nightlife, and Best of Racinos awards sit beside advertiser media kits, commercial relationships remain part of the model. Even so, Casino Player is a strong US casino-games listing because it adds a 1988 consumer magazine beat the directory currently lacks.
Editorial review
Our assessment of Casino Player
Key features
- Monthly Casino Player and Strictly Slots magazines plus casinocenter.com coverage of US land-based casino strategy, slots, and entertainment
- Independent Casino Player Publishing under Lisa Robertson-Dziedzic, with 1988 B2C lineage and named strategy columnists such as Frank Scoblete
- Player magazines rather than B2B trade wires, online-casino ranking desks, or Vegas travel memberships
Strengths
- Opens a US land-based player-magazine beat that CDC Gaming, Indian Gaming Magazine, and Gaming Today do not replace
- Clearer consumer-magazine identity than online review clones, with still-publishing 2026 print covers
- Useful mix of table and slot strategy plus property/entertainment coverage for frequent US casino-goers
Limitations
- Advertiser-funded Best of Gaming, Best of Slots, and related awards sit beside the magazines, so commercial relationships remain part of the model
- Land-based US first, so less useful for online-casino bonus rankings or non-US iGaming research
Who it is best for
Casino Player is best for US land-based casino players who want magazine-style strategy, slots coverage, and property entertainment rather than an online review ranking or B2B trade wire.
