Newest first. A report can sit under more than one game type, so its chip shows the game type it was filed under first.
| No. | Report | Game type | Filed by | Filed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. 161 |  The History of Live Dealer Gaming: From Studios to Streaming Live dealer gaming started in 2003 with one grainy camera and a roulette wheel. Today it is 35% of online casino revenue globally. Latency improved from 10 seconds to under 1 second. Cost per table is dropping. The model is no longer experimental. | HSHistory | Filed by The SonicBet Desk | |
| No. 144 |  The Venetian Ridotto: The World's First Legal Casino The Ridotto opened in 1638. It was not the first gambling house. It was the first gambling house operating under state license, with regulated rules, open to the public, and designed to extract maximum revenue from players while maintaining the appearance of order. | HSHistory | Filed by The SonicBet Desk | |
| No. 117 |  The Evolution of Craps: From Hazard to Modern Casinos Craps emerged in the 1700s as a variant of hazard, a game of medieval origin that featured high-odds bets and complex decision trees. | CRCraps | Filed by The SonicBet Desk | |
| No. 90 | The Sands, Caesars, and the Mob-Era Casinos of Las Vegas Vegas had a particular style in the 1960s. Certain properties defined it. Some got torn down. Some survived and adapted. | HSHistory | Filed by The SonicBet Desk | |
| No. 87 | Home Field Advantage in Sports Betting: Real or Overrated The cliche is that home field matters, that Vegas crowds and altitude and travel all create statistical advantage; what nobody wants to admit is how little the advantage actually amounts to when you run the numbers. | HSHistory | Filed by The SonicBet Desk | |
| No. 86 | The Biggest Sports Betting Wins in Recorded History Testing the claim: some sports bets pay out millions. Methodology: historical record, verified payouts, no YouTube testimonials. | BWBig Wins | Filed by The SonicBet Desk | |
| No. 83 | The Biggest Game in Town: Al Alvarez's Poker Book Classic Al Alvarez's 'The Biggest Game in Town' is a portrait of poker as a competitive art form and as a window into human motivation. It is the best book about poker ever written. | BWBig Wins | Filed by The SonicBet Desk | |
| No. 82 | League of Legends Betting: Maps, Markets, and Meta Esports betting is where poker players and professional sports bettors collide with people who actually know the game. The variance is higher and the market is younger. | HSHistory | Filed by The SonicBet Desk | |
| No. 81 | The History of Roulette: Pascal's Accidental Invention Roulette was actually invented by accident while Pascal was building a perpetual-motion machine. Not even joking. Stay with me here because this is wild. | HSHistory | Filed by The SonicBet Desk | |
| No. 71 | Jerry Patterson's Craps Roll: Fact or Casino Legend? Jerry Patterson reportedly rolled craps for hours without sevening out. Is it true? And what would it mean if it were? | BWBig Wins | Filed by The SonicBet Desk | |
| No. 65 | Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Gambling Culture on Acid Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing depicted Las Vegas gambling culture at a specific moment. That moment has passed, but it reveals something permanent about Vegas. | BJBlackjack | Filed by The SonicBet Desk | |
| No. 64 | Mobile Sports Betting vs Desktop: Pros and Cons Mobile and desktop sports betting serve different moments. Mobile is convenience. Desktop is control. Here's the tradeoff. | HSHistory | Filed by The SonicBet Desk |
