Heavy’s 76th Birthday Bash Weekend

And Axis Power Craps Seminar

September 5th – 8th, 2025 – Las Vegas

Queue those 76 trombones. For those of you who missed out on my 75th Birthday Blowout in Las Vegas last September – Surprise! You’re going to get a second chance. As we say in Texas, “Let’s ride this horse until it bucks us.” We had a fantastic time at or last one, with private tables, a special Meet and Greet, a birthday party event with free drinks and cake, and much more! Bottom line – don’t miss our SECOND Birthday Blowout event in Las Vegas the weekend of September 5th thru the 8th. I’m telling you NOW so you can make those plans early. No excuses, folks.

Michael Felman with Premier Casino Hosting is our Casino Host for this event. He’ll take care of your hotel reservations. If you read about the event in my newsletter or on my forum or FaceBook announcements please let him know when making your hotel reservations.

Meanwhile, for those of you who might be interested in hanging out with yours truly and some of the APC gang at the dealer school and taking in a class over the weekend, I’ll be running a full seminar schedule on Saturday and Sunday, the 6th and 7th. That includes a full day APC Dice Control class on Saturday and a half-day Advanced Betting Strategy class on Sunday. And yes, I already have a few players signed up for that class, so we’re off to a good start.

Friday Night – Once again, we’re planning on a casual “no host” Happy Hour hook up where we can put names and faces together, swap a few war stories, grab some food if anyone gets hungry, or just hit the tables.

Saturday – Dice Control/Influence Training ($1250 First-Time Students | $950 Alumni) – Plus Veteran and First Responder Discounts Available.
Time: 9 AM – 5:30 PM at a local casino dealer school.
First-time students receive pre-class video “homework” training.
Full-day focus on dice control mechanics: grip, set, aim, focus, breath control, landing zone, execution, follow-through.
Learn to read dice behavior and adjust your toss accordingly.
Practice from Stick Left, Stick Right, and Straight Out all three if time allows.
Alumni – expect dedicated fresh content!

Saturday Night
Relax, join fellow students for dinner, or hit the tables. For serious players, we recommend a 5:00 AM “coffee run” session on Sunday morning for better table conditions.

Sunday – Day Two of our DI Seminar Moves on to Advanced Betting Strategies
Time: 9 AM – 1 PM.
Covers Right-Side Betting, Hybrid Strategies, and Dark Side Plays.
Real-session examples of strategies that worked (or didn’t!).
Alumni – expect even more fresh content!
Post-class live casino play session with Heavy. Time and location to be announced.

Hangover Monday – No charge day to hang out with the coaches and play. Monday mornings tend to be our most profitable, with rested players and less crowded tables. No extra cost—just more chances to win.
