April 2015 CAsino EntErtAinEr 3

There is no one quite like Craig Morgan, whose re-sume is one of the most varied and impressive on earth—soldier, sheriff’s deputy, EMT, adventurer, TV host, motocross racer, outdoorsman, farmer, family man. And then there is the career that ties it all together. “Music is like a center for all those things,” says Mor-gan. “It’s the outlet for me to express everything I am.”

In addition to his hit “Almost Home,” whose pa-thos, compassion, and nostalgia makes for the perfect classic country song, Morgan’s catalog spans a host of themes. There are his working-class anthems, like “Redneck Yacht Club,” “International Harvester,” and “More Trucks Than Cars;” love songs like “Tough” and “This Ole Boy;” and his examination of the everyday in “Little Bit of Life.”

Craig and his wife of 25 years, Karen, live with their four children just outside Dickson, Tennessee. He is in-volved in many of the area’s charitable causes, and he keeps current with his emergency preparedness skills through activities like in-service training with the sher-iff’s department.

Ever the optimist, Morgan says, “I do believe this next chapter in my life is going to be the best yet.” Come see what he means when he plays Isleta Resort & Casino on April 10. For more information, visit www.isleta.com

Northern California’s four-time Grammy-award-winning Doobie Brothers are responsible for some of the most classic music in rock and roll. With 3 multi-Platinum, 7 Plati-num, and 14 Gold records, along with a rare Diamond record for their 11-million-copy-selling Best of the Doobies from 1976, they continue to dominate the airwaves and draw new and old fans to their live perfor-mances.

Songs like “Listen to the Music,” “Black Water,” “China Grove,” “Jesus Is Just All Right,” and many more be-came instant favorites when they were first released, and they continue to contribute to the soundtrack of our lives. Even though the band underwent several personnel changes throughout the years, the hits still kept coming. When Michael McDonald took over as lead vocalist in 1976, the band’s “Takin’ it to the Streets” dominated the country’s airwaves from coast to coast. After a period of inactivity during the mid-1980s, the band reunited and they record and tour to this day.

While the Doobie Brothers draw inspiration from the past, their music nonetheless inspires in the here and now. With so many songs that have stood the test of time for 40 years, the Doobie Brothers is the show to see in New Mexico this spring. For more information, visit www.isleta.com.

Their formidable musical presence continues to propel sold-out tours and album sales, now exceeding 75 million.

So book your tickets now, and get ready for an electrifying performance of your favorite rock and roll anthems, from “Juke Box Hero” to “Urgent,” “Head Games” to “Cold as Ice,” “Dirty White Boy” to “Waiting For A Girl Like You.”

Born and raised in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, the 17th of 18 children, Carlos Mencia came to the United States when he was only three months old. Like so many performers be-fore him, Mencia honed his craft do-ing standup com-edy during amateur night at the Laugh Factory. He later became a nightly regular at the Comedy Store, which led to appearances on television shows like In Living Color, The Arsenio Hall Show, Moesha, and An Evening at the Improv.

His success solidified in the 1990s, when he hosted the HBO comedy series Loco Slam in 1994 and Funny is Funny! on Galavision in 1998. His 2000 comedy album, “Take a Joke, America,” won him additional accolades.

Mencia enjoyed further success headlining the 2002 Three Amigos tour with Freddy Soto and Pablo Francisco. In 2005, he debuted Mind of Men-cia on Comedy Central, which became one of the strongest shows in the network’s history, averaging about 1.5 million total viewers. He has also been a regular on the holiday season USO Tours to the Persian Gulf.

In the past several years, Mencia gone back to his standup roots, per-forming at a number of comedy stores throughout the country, which allows him to share his newest material with more intimate audiences.

Selena Quintanilla–Perez, known simply as Sele-na, was one of the most successful Latin crossover artists to ever hit the stage or radio waves. Known as the Queen of Tejano music, Billboard declared her among the top Latin artists of the 1990s, and she hit their Latin Song charts with an incredible four-teen Top 10 singles, seven of which shot to No. 1. Poised at the brink of international stardom before her untimely death at the age of 23, murdered by the former president of her fan club, Selena nonethe-less remains one of the most popular musical acts of any genre, with 60 million albums sold worldwide to date.

Since Selena’s passing, the artist has been the ba-

sis of numerous musicals and other productions, in-cluding a portrayal by Jennifer Lopez in the hit 1997 hit movie Selena. Since this year marks the 20th an-niversary of Selena’s death, many more tributes are sure to be forthcoming. One of them is Como la Flor, named after one of Selena’s hit singles and headlined by Kate Perez, herself an award-winning singer who began her career at the age of 12. Fans of Selena should not miss the opportunity to expe-rience the magic of one of the most beloved Latin artists of all time, thanks to the spectacular tribute Perez will bring to Sky City Casino on May 2.

BILLY’S BOTTOM LINE

Government, Gambling, and You

A lot of people went to a lot of trouble just so you could stuff paper money inside a slot machine.

If I may ask, did you ever thank them? Probably not.

Did you ever cuss them? Prob-ably.

You may have cussed the slot ma-chine, but hardly ever the fellows who made the machine, sold the machine, those who installed the machine, or the folks at the casino who watch over the machine.

It all began in 1988, when the U.S. Congress accomplished some-thing no other body before them had envisioned: They established rules and regulations for gambling on Native American lands. Called the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), it set the standards for le-gal Gambling within Native Ameri-can reservations across our fruited plains.

And it’s not all one sided: state governments have their responsi-bilities as well. These include con-tracting with each tribe the rights to build and operate a casino, and establishing rules governing mini-mum payback percentage on slot play, the minimum age guests must be to enter a casino and to gamble, and where and when a casino can serve alcoholic beverages.

Obviously, one wonders, what was in it for the state? Well, the state wanted a piece of the action, of course. To this end, the Feds outlined two classes of gambling: Class 2 and Class 3. This is part of the law that amuses. Class 2 gaming on the “Rez” was, and is, tax-free. But Class 3 gaming establishments have to pay.

All this being said (or written), New Mexico was considered a state with a substantial Native American representation (19 pueblos, two Apache tribes, and the Navajo Na-tion) that could and would prosper with legal gaming.

After IGRA passed into law, Na-tive leaders across America sprung

into action, securing loans or other-wise raising funds to build casinos, tourist centers, hotels, and arenas. It all seemed so easy. But one thing many of these leaders overlooked—or downright forgot about—was that they had to finalize their deals with the state.

Here, in the Land of Sunshine and Deception, Native leaders, along with the heads of veteran and frater-nal clubs, petitioned three different governors four different times. And struck out every time. One governor twice promised to help the cause, but took a powder when the chime for action rang his office door.

It took almost a decade for New Mexico to open its doors to legal gambling. And, despite claims to the contrary, it has been an effective economic boon for all of us. Over 20,000 New Mexicans work full-time at our state’s casinos and their adjacent operations, including ho-tel/resorts, restaurants, travel cen-ters, spas, and golf courses. It’s well known that gambling is integral to our tourism trade, the magnet that, in part, brings visitors to our sunny blue skies.

And the dice keep rolling. The recent 60-day legislative session included cleaning up some contrac-tual odds and ends with a few of the pueblos, which it did, without strife. The casinos got most of what they sought: extra hours of operation, and opportunities to comp meals, adult beverages, and slot play.

Figure that, in New Mexico, the average payback percentage on slot play is right around 93–94 per-cent—and that’s good enough for me. What about you? You in?

Jackpot Radio Show

News-Talk KDSK, AM 1240Saturday 10am to 12 noon

New Mexico’s "Mr. Casino," Bill Previtti, presents a weekly radio program dedicated to the casino scene crowd. It’s called Jackpot with Bill Previtti.

Tune in every Saturday to Bill Previtti’s Jackpot show on KDSK AM 1240 from 10am to noon and find out what’s happen-ing at the casinos around New Mexico. Have fun listening to gam-ing expert Bill Previtti as he updates you on the latest in gaming events and answers your questions. You can win great prizes in the show’s many trivia contests.

The New Mexico legislature approved a new 22-year gambling compact on Thursday, March 19, which allows up to four more casinos in the future, increased revenue sharing, longer operating hours and other benefits for gamblers.

The compact is with five New Mexi-co tribes, including the Navajo Nation, Jicarilla Apache Nation, Mescalero Apache Nation, Acoma Pueblo, and Jemez Pueblo. The first four tribes cur-

rently have casinos in New Mexico, and the compact eventually allows the Je-mez Pueblo to open a casino. Terms of the compact include the ability for the Navajo Nation to build another casino as early as 2021. More tribes could also sign onto the agreement.

The Albuquerque Journal also re-ported that the state would benefit from the pact via a revenue-sharing provision that is expected to generate an addition-al $10 million in the coming year.

Live poker is still very much the rage at casinos na-tionwide, fueled by regional tournaments and touring or-g a n i z a -tions. The g a m e s can pres-ent a dif-ficult sce-nario for beginners b e c a u s e the tables are often filled with skilled, experienced players. The stakes can be high.

Almost every casino has a live poker room. Many lo-cals-oriented properties have low-stakes games and an en-vironment that is friendly for novices who wish to cut their teeth with actual play. Even so, veterans will caution: “There are poker sharps who will skin you alive.”

Live poker is different from traditional casino ta-ble games, where you play against the house. In live poker you play against the people at your table. The house merely provides a dealer and takes a percentage (rake) from each pot. And playing cards with strangers can be especially intimidat-ing for beginners.

In addition to being a game of skill, live poker can also be a game of cunning, decep-tion, and psychological war-fare. There is more to win-ning than just getting the best hand. In fact, large pots are often won with poor hands. Games are won and lost with the manipulative wagering guile that experienced play-ers utilize.

Live poker isn’t rocket science, mind you. Anyone who has engaged in home poker games with family and friends is already fairly well

equipped to tackle the casino version. But there is still a lot to be learned. And the only way to learn is to sit down

and play the game.

The most popular ca-sino poker games are 7 Card Stud, Texas Hold ’em, 7 Stud Hi/Lo-8 or Better, and Omaha Hi/

Lo-8 or Better. Of these games, the easiest to learn and the easiest to play is Tex-as Hold ’em. In a basic Texas Hold ’em game, each player is dealt two cards face down. After a round of betting, the dealer flips over three com-munity cards. After another round of betting, a fourth community card is revealed. After another betting round, a fifth and final community card is dealt. Players make the best five-card poker hand from their own two cards and the five community cards.

Bettors can derive a great deal of information from the community cards. For ex-ample, any pair on the table means that some player is likely to be holding three-of-a-kind. Suited cards mean someone is likely holding a flush. You also have to be on the lookout for possible straights. This information plays a vital role in a player’s decision to fold or stay in the game.

While it might seem intimi-dating at first, it’s worth your while to give poker a try. You can stretch your bankroll at a low-stakes game, plus there’s the added bonus of reaping the rewards, improv-ing your game, and devel-oping into a skilled player.

JOKE OF THE MONTHOverheard in a book store: “I am looking for the book called “How to win easily and fast with poker.” Clerk says: “Please check the science fiction section.”

Live Poker: Challenging But Worth the Effort

As we reported last month, it seems likely that sometime in the near future it will be legal to bet on organized sports in all 50 U.S. states. Currently, only four states allow betting on sports other than regulated horse and dog racing: Nevada, Oregon, Montana, and Delaware, and they were grandfathered in due to a previous history of allowing sports betting.

The greatest hurdle that proponents face is the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), which was passed by Congress in 1992 due in part to the Pete Rose illegal bet-ting scandal, to uphold the integrity of professional and amateur sports by banning state-sponsored sports betting. If the law is overturned, the impact will no doubt have important social, eco-nomic, cultural, and political ramifications.

That’s a good thing, says Joe Asher, CEO of William Hill U.S., a U.K.-based Sportsbook. Recently, he told ESPN, who is close-ly following this story, “If there is a legal way for people to bet, they know it’s a fair game and they will get paid when they win.”

And, argue other proponents, legalized betting not only means increased fun for sports fans but also millions of extra dollars in state coffers—already, according to the American Gaming As-sociation, illegal gambling in this country is worth about $140 billion annually. Furthermore, the PASPA law places the United States at a disadvantage, since countries like England and Can-ada allow the betting.

Finally, proponents like Adam Silver, commissioner of the NBA, believe that legalization at a national level will help moni-tor irregular activity and even better maintain the integrity of our sports. Even New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made a push to overturn PASPA in his state. While the measure failed, it seems the vast majority of people there and in the sports world in general are tired of the law’s hypocrisy.

Opponents, however, believe that the societal toll will just be too great. Justin Wolf-ers, economist and professor at the University of Michigan, told ESPN that, “There’s no lobby group to protect the families whose lives would be devastated by Mom or Dad becoming a compulsive gambler.”

Which prompted Charles Barkley, NBA Hall of Famer and noted gambler, to assert, “The notion that if they legalize [sports betting], it’s going to become an epidemic is ridiculous.”

Who knows, maybe this is the year that those in the sporting and political world can become real game-changers. Exactly when, well, we won’t make any wagers on that. But, we will keep you in the loop.

Blackjack the Smart Way

Strong Indicators for Blackjack success One of the things I’m most proud

about having achieved in my many years of blackjack, card behavior, and shuffling research was my discovery of the “indicators” with which I could gain a far greater edge on the game than basic strategy or card counting had allowed.

By indicators, I mean scientific or mathematical measures that portend what the future would likely be. Since I had been university-trained in scien-tific research methods and theoretical math, all these skills came in handy as I did my research.

First, though, came the grueling three-year collection of real casino-

style card data, with real dealers deal-ing, collecting, and shuffling the cards in the exacting handling methods used at the nation’s casinos. No computer simulations would do—I didn’t want pretend blackjack in doing my re-search; I wanted the real thing.

Next came the analysis phase, in which I charted the progress of each player or betting spot. To do this, I intuitively realized that one measure would be to use a unit based upon the betting spot’s wins minus its losses, on a round-by-round basis.

I would later name this unit the Win/Loss Margin Unit, or WLM unit for short. I was pleased to learn that this

proved to be an indicator that reveals much.

Here’s how it works: If the player won the first round, the

WLM unit would be +1. With a win, that number would go up one unit. With a push (tie), the number would stay the same. With a loss, the number would go down one unit. Zero would indicate a neutral situation—wins equaling losses. Negative numbers would identify a losing cycle.

Charting the progress of each betting spot resulted in a Wall Street kind of chart, one of which I’ve shown you, in part, here.

In doing this, I clearly proved that winning and losing cycles are real phenomena. The Old School writers pooh-pooh this idea, but that’s because

they did their research the wrong way, using a computer’s random number generator to produce data (which, by definition, produces random results). Real cards, though, do not play out randomly, as these charts and other studies of mine proved.

This led to my analyzing the win-ning and losing cycles clearly identi-fied in my charts. (Talk about a gruel-ing process!)

In so doing, I discovered something even more earthshaking: the fact that there were repeating patterns, repeat-ing phenomena as I named them, as a result of the standardized shuffling most casinos did.

In other words, many of the same cards were being dealt to the same players from shuffle to shuffle!

for event information updates.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19)Happy Birthday, Rams! This is the beginning of a very productive year as the cosmos aligns in fire, giving you the thrust you need to get things done. The lunar eclipse on the fourth highlights an influx of positive personal and professional relationships.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20)The intensity of the planet Mars keeps you constantly on the go, putting out one fire after another on the work front. You are transiting into a new profession and are seriously considering getting further credentials. It’s difficult to find time for love.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 21)The soothing rays of the planet Venus begin a magical month of socializing and fun. It time to take a breath of fresh air and get out and meet new connections and mingle. You will go into high gear with spending, so it may be time for your dream car or home.

CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 22)The volatile Mars vibrations keep you off balance in your career, possibly causing a delay in promotion or financial increase. You may be prematuring several outcomes, so you might be better off going with the flow until after the full moon. Investments come to fruition.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22)The planet Jupiter goes into direct motion on the eighth, putting your finances back on track. This is a jackpot period, during which there will be numerous projects and a continuous cash flow. It’s not time to relax. Legal matters pop up, as do emotional turbulences.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22)You are tired of being stagnant and not knowing which professional path to take. The new moon on the 18th presents several opportunities to get out of the rut as old contacts and prospects begin to resurrect with substantial offers. Don’t doubt yourself.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 23)This month’s full moon eclipse ignites a major shift—and possibly an entire change in direction in your life. This is an opportune time to resume former plans regarding career. Your social environment also gets very exciting as you move in new circles and begin networking again.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 21)The stars put you on pause, where you will take a step back and work on your health and diet. You have been so focused on finances and your professional schedule, take some down time. The influence of Venus helps finances rebound and brings new opportunities.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21)Your career slows down, but personal and domestic obligations pick-up. Travel of all kinds is feasible now, as are seminars and educational pursuits. Self improvement is focused, and you seek to replenish your mind, body, and spirit. Expect to hear from people in your past.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19)The new moon on the 18th turns your attention to domestic matters. It’s out with the old and in with the new, as you decide to change your style and approach. It’s time to clean out those closets and do some repairs and upgrades around the house. Health improves.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 19)Spiritual people and forces are protecting you during the eclipse. Try to let go of past obstacles and hurtful memories and only concentrate on the future. Be reserved about opening yourselfup, as this is an emotionally charged cycle. Favorable aspects promote career and financial ambition.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)The new moon on the 18th energizes your monetary situation. Trust your judgment and allow yourself to expand financially and professionally as you acquire new investments, including property. Stay focused on immediate issues and hold off travel until June.
