GAMING NEWSLargest Pai gow JackPot hit in chandLer
At the recently opened Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino in Chandler, just off the I-10 at Wild Horse Pass Boulevard, one lucky woman turned a single dollar into the largest progressive jackpot ever won at a table game in Arizona.
Ms. Le was playing at one of the three Fortune Pai Gow tables when she landed a seven card straight flush which triggered a $191,000 progres-sive jackpot. The history making jackpot took Ms. Le, a regular at Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino, completely by surprise. After realizing her incred-ible luck she proclaimed “I can’t believe I just won!”
The progressive Pai Gow game was first intro-duced to Arizona by Gila River Casinos making Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino a fitting location for the largest jackpot in the state’s history.
Lone Butte Casino, Vee Quiva Casino and Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino each maintain a unique progressive jackpot for the popular table game and the casinos have now awarded over $270,000 to Valley players since the beginning of this year.
In addition to the nearly $200,000 jackpot at Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino, Vee Quiva Casino recently paid a local winner over $80,000 when the Fortune Pai Gow progressive jackpot was triggered
“cash for cougars” at wiLd horse PassStarting Thursday, June 10, AiRIA Nightclub
inside Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino will begin the hunt for the hottest “Cougars” in Arizona.
Fierce and fabulous “Cougars”, ages 30 and up, will fill the Chandler nightclub each Thursday from 9pm till 2am as they compete to win a share of $5,000 cash.
Contestants will be pre-selected by emailing a photo and brief bio to [email protected].
These hot Cougars will “Strut their Stuff” for a panel of judges to show why they should be recog-nized as Arizona’s finest feline.
The finals will occur on the evening of July 8 - First prize is $3,500 with $1,500 going to the runner-up and $1,000 to third.
AiRIA Nightclub is located at Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino, 5040 Wild Horse Pass Blvd in Chandler.

A BOYD’S EYE VIEW OF VIDEO POKER
nce upon a time you could rely on good video poker
pay tables combined with mathematically correct
play to win at video poker. Times have changed. Nowadays you have to be more diligent to stretch your gambling budget.
Wouldn’t it be great if we were all like legendary King Midas? Everything he touched turned to gold, but the downside is that included his food, drink and even his daughter. For video poker players there’s something even better than the golden touch; that’s the ability to keep your comps, con-vert them to cash or just use discretionary comps.TournamenT Play:
Most casinos offer slots, video poker, blackjack, poker and even keno tournaments from time-to-time. For the most part, these are designed to pro-mote games and the casino doesn’t make a profit. If you’re not sure, then ask questions and you’ll be able to figure the amount they collect compared to the cash they’re paying out.
Free Entry: Free is a good thing, so always participate when you’re invited. Even if your game is video poker, say yes to slot, blackjack, keno or other contests without fees. Don’t worry about not being an expert, somebody will help you.
Comp Account: The next best deal, free being the best, is to use your comp account. You should ask and if they say no, then suggest that they
consider it in the future. It’s like turning compli-mentary food or gifts into possible gold.Club Card PoinTs:
Always ask if you can use your club-card points to pay entry fees. Usually casinos discount the entry when you’re using your slot card. If the casino says you can use your cash points, but there’s no discount - then it’s not worth anything.
Discretionary Comps: This is a category that is unknown to many players. If you use your slot card and play frequently you will usually be assigned a host. You will be offered free perks to reward your loyalty. These are the best kind of comps because you do not lose points from either your cash or comps account, in other words “free” really means free.
Show Tickets: local casinos are now drawing top entertainment. Not only do casinos offer tickets to frequent players, but they’re usually really great seats. When your host gives you tickets, you won’t lose points from your comp account.
Meals: If you’ve been assigned a casino host you should ask about their comp policy for restaurants. If you don’t bring up the subject, then they won’t either. This policy is often in place in tribal casinos where you don’t have a special comps account, so it’d either discretionary comps or nothing.
Special Events: It could be a formal dinner, a Super Bowl party or even a cruise—creativity is the name of the game with today’s promotional departments. All of these things are good for both the casino and their loyal customers.
THe midas TouCH: CHanging ComPs To gold
markeTing offers:Here’s a way to receive perks that don’t come off
your comp account. You may receive a mailer from marketing, a separate department from slots, or you might have to clip a coupon from a magazine or a newspaper.
Cash: Need I say more? Take it to the casino for redemption – Be sure you read the fine print and following the rules.
Free Play: Casinos want you to stay and play not take the money and run. So now most casinos give you credits on the machine of your choice. Credits are downloaded from a computer and you run them through once before cashing in.
Blackjack Coupons: Even if you’re strictly a video poker player, you should always use your match play coupons.final THougHTs:
Sometimes you have to go north by northwest to gain an edge, by following the rules in a creative way. Half the battle is finding the best video poker games available and using the correct strategy. The other half is finding legitimate ways to convert less desirable perks or food to bright and shiny gold.

And So…It BegInS
nd so it begins again…The 2010 World Series of Poker events are already under-way, beginning on Friday, May 29 with
the “Casino Employee’s No-Limit” tournament and ending with the “No-Limit Championship Event July 5 – July17 where the final table will be determined. Final table play will resume in November.
If you play in any of the WSOP events, you may find yourself playing at a table with Caesar, a joker or a fool. You may play with a clown, be stared down by a fossil or be pitted against a Prima Donna or a Diva - but you’ll be there, soaking up the surroundings and loving the whole crazy expe-rience. You’ll be feeling the excitement of what is the “World Series of Poker”.
I’ve watched this event change over the years – hopefully for the better, but I can’t really say. It seems that, what was once a game of skill, cunning and mastery of the art of the bluff - has become the “luck of the draw”, based on dumb luck in some instances and nothing else. This is the impression I got while watching the final table of the 2009 WSOP. As unconventional as it may be at times - it still makes for great entertainment.
We still have some of the poker greats to watch, Doyle Brunson, Chris Ferguson, Mike Sexton, Barry Greenstein, Dan Harrington, Phil Hellmuth
and many of the former pros of the game, but in the big picture, they are becoming an endangered species. Poker has become a game for the young guns. Fueled by the internet, it has become one big video game with outrageous pay-outs for slay-ing the dragon.
The first “World Series of Poker” was held in 1970, and it was an invitational - Benny Binion invited six of the best known poker players to compete at the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas. It took 12 years before the WSOP finally drew over 50 participants to this tournament.
The first “World Series of Poker that I attended was at the old Binion’s Horseshoe Casino. Binion’s was tiny in comparison to the new venue, but it was rich in tradition. Sure it was old and gritty and badly in need of a remodel, but it was the source, the beginning.
The greats of the game played there and formed the foundation of what poker is today. I often wonder what ghosts wander in the shadows of Binion’s and what would they have to say about poker today?
Poker has become flash and glamour. When you win a bracelet at the WSOP you become a star.
You’re picture is everywhere, you receive endorse-ments and the world is your oyster. If your star continues to shine - you are in the spotlight, but many rise too fast and fall hard long before their dreams are complete.
Even though the new “Kings of the Felt” may not be familiar faces to us anymore, we will still be watching. We will all wait and wonder until the final table reconvenes in November - who will carry it to the end and be the new shining star of the poker world, the winner of the World Series of Poker.
Who will take home the crown? Is this the year Daniel Negreneau, Phil Ivey or Gus Hansen wind up capturing the prize which has eluded them for so long? Could this be the year for the first woman to win it all? We’ll just have to wait and see how it all plays out.
Until next time, “Have a Lucky Month”. Write me at [email protected]

LOTTERY NEWScrossword cLues
“Crossword” has always been one of the Arizona Lottery’s most popular games, and there have been a variety of Scratchers tickets dedicated to the game, including “Crossword Clues”. The following two winners enjoy playing all of the Crossword Scratchers and also enjoyed collecting their $50,000.
Regina Carder not only purchases Scratchers for herself, but also for some friends. One of those friends always asks her to buy “Crossword Clues”. This time when Regina bought tickets for her friends, she decided to buy one for herself.
Regina scratched the tickets and on one ticket found nine words. She was thrilled with what she thought she’d won - $2,500. She had several friends check the ticket, but all they did was check to be sure the nine words she had discovered were cor-rect. None of them even thought to check to see if she’d missed a word (she had). When she claimed her prize, she told the customer service representa-tive that she’d won $2,500. When the representative came back to the counter, she said, “It’s not what you think it is.” Regina’s stomach dropped until she looked at the validation slip and saw $50,000. Her next comment was, “I was thrilled with $2,500, but $50,000 is much better!”
Maria Jimenez also loves to play Scratchers and plays almost every day, mostly $5 Crossword and Bingo. She usually redeems her winning tickets and buys new ones, and this particular day was no exception. She redeemed one ticket, purchased three
more; redeemed her wins and bought four more tickets. One of the four was a winner.
Maria scratched her ticket and counted ten words, but couldn’t believe what she was look-ing at. She then asked everyone in her family to check it. They did and came with the same conclusion - the ticket was worth $50,000. To be sure they hadn’t made a mistake, they wrote each word down on a piece of paper. Later after she had calmed down a bit, Maria said, “I always knew someday I would win a jackpot.”
Both winners plan to deposit their winnings in the bank and take time to really think about any plans for using the money.
diaMond dazzLed!If you happen to come across two men who
have a slightly dazed look about them, you might very well be looking at Terry Linck and Vincent Hart. Each of these men won the $50,000 top prize in “Diamond Dazzler Bingo”.
Terry went to the store to buy a “Slingo” ticket, but the ticket was sold out. The clerk pointed to “Diamond Dazzle Bingo” and suggested he buy that one instead as it was new. So he bought one of the new tickets and a couple “Crosswords”, but was still unhappy
about there not being any “Slingo” tickets avail-able. Vincent, who buys two Scratchers every day, bought two of the “Diamond Dazzler Bingo” tickets and took them home to play.
When Terry first scratched the ticket, he thought he’d won $75 until the clerk checked it and told him he would have to take it to the Lottery office - it was more than the store could pay. Then he thought he had won $5,000. When he turned in his ticket at the Lottery office, he didn’t ask the clerk what it was worth. It wasn’t until the winner liaison came over to him with the check that he finally asked, “How much did I win?” The amount of $50,000 was a most wel-come surprise.
Vincent also was not sure about the amount he had won. After he scratched the ticket, he looked at it and thought there was something wrong with it, so he took it to the store to be scanned. The clerk told him he would have to take the ticket to the Lottery office to be redeemed. One of the
store managers who was standing nearby went over to Vincent and went over the ticket with him. After looking at the ticket, he explained to Vincent what he had missed. Vincent then went home and put it in the safe until he could take it to the Lottery to be redeemed.
Terry plans to pay off medical bills and then, perhaps, do some remodeling on his home, pay off his truck and save the rest.

TJ’S BLACKJACK CORNER
T.J. Jorgensen has been a professional Blackjack player for over 20 years. He is well known for his live tournament play, both locally and interna-tionally. He has competed against, and beaten, some of the top tournament players in the world. He is the author of the book, "Beating the Casino at Their Own Game," available through his web site www.freewebs.com/tjsblackjackcorner or by e-mail [email protected]
“Trick” for BeaTing Blackjack
have often been asked what the best “trick” for beating blackjack is.
This may surprise you but my response when someone asks that question is “flashcards”, that’s right flashcards.
Remember when you were growing up and trying to learn your multiplication tables?
You had a set of four inch by four inch cards, on one side you would see “8 x 8” the other side would provide the answer “64”.
Make a set for yourself with all the basic strategy hands. For example on one side you will have “ace & 7” on the answer side you will have; stand when the dealer has a 2,7 or 8, double when the dealer shows 3-6 and hit when the dealer shows 9,10,ace. By the way this is the most misplayed hand in basic strategy.
Quiz yourself until you can get them all right. Once you have them mastered don’t throw them in the kitchen drawer, rather run through them every time before you go to the casino. Many players at one time knew basic strategy perfectly, but quit practicing . Some of the hands come up so infrequently that they forget how to play them.
For example the hand of “9,9” vs dealer showing a “2” comes up 43 times for every 100,000 hands.
By reviewing you will always be on top of your
game. The player who plays perfect basic strategy has a 25% chance of being ahead after 25,000 hands.
This is what your flash cards should look like for six decks, dealer hits soft 17, double on any 2 cards.
Usually after a session of blackjack you can point to one hand that was the turning point as to whether you ended up a winner or loser. It is hard enough to beat the casino when you play a perfect game, make sure you don’t give the casino any additional advantage by misplaying a hand.
Practice with your flashcards cards until you know basic strategy perfectly.
Once you know it as well as your own name, then you’ll give yourself the best chance of walking out of the casino a winner.
Until next time I hope you play winning blackjack.

HORSIN’ AROUND
A Shore Thing
by BrianMulligan
Brian Mulligan was the main West Coast line-maker for 17 years for the Daily Racing Form writing under the non de plume of “SWEEP.” He has probably handicapped more races than any man alive since he set lines on up to 15 tracks a day for all those years. Mulligan also led the other public handicappers in Los Angeles at every meet in SoCal at one time or another during his tenure there. He continues to contribute to the Daily Racing Form writing “A Closer Look” analysis daily.
verybody knows there is no such thing as a sure
thing, but officials at Monmouth Park are
thinking out of the box, as they are trying to invent their own version of a SHORE thing.
I cut my teeth at Monmouth Park, first went to the track there when I was 10, and made my first bet there at 8, but more on that later on.
This meeting in Oceanport, N.J., is so unique it is now the buzzword of the sport.
First off – here are the numbers. A total of 148 horses entered for opening day, last year 46 less passed the entry box. Not only will $5,000 claimers run for a $30,000 purse, unheard of even in today’s slot-driven world, Monmouth will pay $1,500 to the last-place finishers in Jersey-bred races.
What this will do is to try to even the playing field a little, so the smaller barns will not be totally swallowed up by the huge purses offered for qual-ity runners.
Consider this: On opening day, $25,000 claimers ran for a $46,000 purse; Jersey-bred MSW runners aimed at a $75,000 purse and $15,000 claimers ran for a $38,000 purse.
Over the first 5 days of Monmouth this meet, the average handle was up 162%. Average attendance is up 86%, while the field size has increased by nearly 2 horses per face. Granted, this is a bold experiment, but if it works, and the people bet in
droves, it just may change the way racetracks do business in the future.
As far as the players involved, Garrett Gomez will be a new steady jockey fixture, as will Johnny Velazquez, to go along with Jersey Joe Bravo and Elvis “Is in the house” Trujillo. Trainers to watch will be Todd Pletcher, Mike Mitchell, the Dutrow boys, underrated Robert Hess Jr., Joe Orseno and Linda Rice.
With more runners, the complexion of the races may also alter from the speed-friendly track Monmouth has been for years. Watch runners from Tampa, and runners that drop, because since they will be running for more money, the drop may not really be a drop.
Personally, I have something invested in this track. I made my first bet at 8 through a friend of my father’s. Pops was a big shot at General Motors, and once a year he got a perk at Monmouth Park and was allowed to utilize a special box. It was not just some chairs in the Turf Club, but a fully staffed area for about a dozen at the very top of the track. To put it in perspective, Princess Grace Kelly owned the box next door.
All of dad’s friends would gather for drinks at the house before the track, and one of his buddies asked me whom I liked in a particular race. After glancing at the sheet, I offered my opinion, and broke the piggy bank for the $2 needed. About 10 hours later, the gang was home, I got $16.80 back, and the rest, as they say, is history.
One thing I’ve learned is that this game is a work-in-progress, and if you can’t improve or learn something every day, you are not paying attention. Bettors cannot just do their work in their room, go to the track, be ignorant about scratches, the weather or the environment at the track, and expect to win. There are far-too-many variables that make up a race that need to be scrutinized.
How huge were the numbers at Monmouth opening day? A total of 7,611 more were on hand than on the 2009 opener, and the total betting went through the roof. Last year, just over $4.2 million was bet on opening day. This year’s opening day combined handle for the card was $9,357,444.
Hope some Shore things come through for bet-tors this season.

GAMING NEWSTRAVELget “shanghaied” in oregon
As the hot Arizona summer rages on – maybe it’s time to “Shanghai” the family to a spot where real Shanghais were a way of life – in Oregon. Buried beneath the streets of Portland, left over from the 1800s, are tunnels, where drunken and drugged visitors were transported to waiting ship captains. They arrived in the tunnels when they carelessly stepped on trap-doors in the bar floors above, and from there they were shanghaied for about $50 per head.
Center your trip in the Portland and you can tour some of those old bars and tunnels. For some wild excite-ment, just east of Portland is Hellgate Canyon, and the Rogue River - Take a boat tour along the same route where they filmed “Rooster Cogburn,” and “Gunsmoke.” One tour includes a breathtaking journey over white-water rapids - Get ready to get wet - It’s quite a trip.
After a day on the river, the perfect place for continuing your adventure, and to spend the night, is north on I-5 to Canyonville, and the Seven Feathers Hotel and Casino with full gaming action, casual and fine dining, multiple bars, plus an RV park.
Continue the adventure to nearby Hood River, where you’ll find the century old Hood River Railroad, at the foothills of Mt. Hood. There are themed rides, including the Western Train Robbery – A trip back in his-tory, with spectacular views.
For a memorable adventure, head northwest to the Columbia River Gorge near Astoria, Oregon and the bridge over Multnomah Falls – What a spectacular view!
For even more fun, head north into Washington - to Mt. St. Helens, one of
America’s active volcanoes - Tour on foot, by road, or helicopter. The last major eruption was captured on film, and is there for your viewing
While the area is remote, many of the activities are free, and food and gift items are available including jewelry made from the volcanic ash.
When you return, check out the Portland Saturday Market and the International Food Court, where everything is fresh and grown or caught locally – admission is free, including the entertain-ment and is easily reached by public transportation.
To plan your Shanghai adventure, contact Oregon Tourism Commission at 503-378-8850 or go to www.traveloregon.com

The Karate Kid««««When 12-year-old Dre moves with his mother from Detroit to China he has a hard time adjust-ing. While talking to a local girl in the park he
quickly runs afoul of a local bully who beats him up using kung fu. He has to stay clear of the bully and his friends but wants to see the girl. He talks the maintenance man and kung fu master into teaching
him kung fu and enters a tournament. This remake of the 1984 film is faithful to the original. The action is engross-ing, scenery is beautiful and the acting is very good with Jackie Chan giving his best performance. It is over 2 hours long but it does not drag. You will be on the edge of your seat and cheering at the end.

David’s Video Details
AliCE iN WONDERlAND – «« Alice is now 19 and when she falls down the rabbit hole, she is reunited with her old friends. However, she doesn’t recognize them and they aren’t sure she is the right Alice. All the char-acters are there but as a sequel it has too many holes and is not all magical - it plays more like a formula action sci-fi than a magical fairy tale.
ShuttER iSlAND – ««««In 1954, a US Marshall investigates the disappearance of patient at an isolated mental hospital for the criminally insane – who is thought to be hiding on the isolated island. Not is all as it seems and it is very good.
thE BOOk Of Eli – ««In a post-apocalyptic world, a man travels cross country to deliver the last copy of an important book to a mysterious location. Everything about this movie is predictable except for the ending which is lame.
The A-Team«««
An elite team of Army Rangers is framed for a crime and imprisoned. They escape determined to find the real criminals and clear their names. Chasing the four members of the “A-Team” is an old flame, the army, the CIA and the real criminals. There are a few twists, some impossible but entertaining stunts, lots of explosions and a few jokes (some are even
funny). This film is better than the 80’s TV series it’s based on. Stay through the credits for a kicker that is a lot of fun for the fans of the series.

the Language LessonA Spanish teacher was explaining
to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. ‘House’ for instance, is feminine: ‘la casa.’ ‘Pencil,’ however, is masculine: ‘el lapiz.’
A student asked if a computer had a gender.
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether a computer
should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men’s group decided that a computer had to be of the femi-nine gender (la computadora), because:
1. No one but their creator under-stands their internal logic
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible
to everyone else.
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commit-ment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
(It Gets Better)
The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (elcomputador), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves.
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. The women won.
