FELIPE ESPARZA WITH SPECIAL GUEST LARRY “BUBBLE” BROWN Friday, April 7 at 8pm
Come to Isleta Resort & Casino on April 7 to experience the hilarious Felipe Esparza, best known for his raw, real-life comedy that everyone can relate to. Famous for his wild hair and his oftenimitated phrase, “what’s up, fool?”, Felipe won NBC’s Last Comic Standing in 2010. There is another funny guy opening for Felipe, but we forgot his name. (J/K!- see below) Felipe has done everything from TV and social media ad campaigns to TV shows and movies. Featured in the All Things Comedy podcast network, he also recently starred in and produced his first one-hour special, “They’re Not Gonna Laugh at You” for Showtime, which is now available on DVD and streaming on Netflix. Felipe is a from the streets of East Los Angeles and a lot of his material is the result of seeing humor in the struggles of everyday life. He has appeared on television shows like “Arsenio Hall”, “The Tonight Show”, “Lopez Tonight”, and Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend”, among others. In 2009, he appeared in his first two feature-length films, “The Deported”, and “I’m Not Like That No More”, a film based on his stand-up comedy where he stars as Paul Rodriguez’ son.
Appearing with Felipe is comedian Larry “Bubbles” Brown, who has appeared on over 25 TV shows, including David Letterman. Hoping to someday start
a vegetarian minimalist pessimist movement, his philosophy of life is “Expect the worst and you
will never be disappointed.” For laughs and so much more, come see Felipe Esparza with special guest Larry “Bubbles” Brown at Isleta Resort & Casino on April 7. For more information, visit www.isleta.com
THE MAVERICKS Friday, April 21, at 8pm
Raul Malo, lead vocalist and guitarist for the Americana band the Mavericks, might sound like a throwback to the 1960s when he describes his musical philosophy: “The world has too much strife, racial and social divides being fed 24/7; it’s non-stop. It turns normal, loving people into brainwashed zombies who can’t come together. Maybe it’s the hopeless romantic in me, but I’d like to make a place where all people can come together.” Still, there’s nothing wrong with perpetuating a sound and performance style that engenders feelgood vibes. And that’s just what the Mavericks do, with their compelling blend of country, rockabilly, Tex-Mex, and Latin music that has fans around the country clamoring to see them live. Between 1991 and 2003, the band released 6 studio albums and sent 14 songs up the charts, including the Grammy-winning “Here Comes the Rain.” In 2013, the band released their criticallyacclaimed album In Time, which re-introduced music lovers to what their website calls a “genre-
defying melting pot of pop music.” Don’t miss the opportunity to see one of the most exciting pop bands in recent history as the
Mavericks hit the stage at Isleta Resort & Casino on Friday, April 21. For more information, visit www.isleta.com

Canadian man denied $10,000 of slot winnings
A Canadian man who won more than $12,000 on slot machines in an Ontario casino has shocked the casino world by sharing his story of denied winnings. According to a story aired by CTV News in Ontario, Canada, John Marando, 82, was told by casino management that he was not eligible to collect $10,000 of his winnings. Marando actually won $2,000 previously at the Mohawk Racetrack and Casino. But months later when he won $10,000 on the same machine, the casino told him he could not have the jackpot and was escorted off the property. “I stopped at $10,002,” Marando said in an interview with CTV News. One of the ironies of this story is that Marando handled plenty of cash as a Brink’s truck driver, from which he retired 20 years ago. Around that

same time, John’s wife died, and he became bored and started gambling. Then around seventeen years ago, he felt he was spending too much on gambling, and signed a document to self-exclude himself from gaming facilities. As the years passed he forgot about the document he signed. Last fall, Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) introduced a new rule intended to help problem gamblers: “As part of our support of a self-excluder’s commitment to stop gambling, self-excluded individuals are not permitted to win prizes.” Any jackpot over $10,000 is reviewed. OLG said, because Marando is still considered self-excluded, he can’t collect the money. In a related story written by Peter Cameron of The Canadian Press, Ontario Lottery and Gaming rules state

that people who voluntarily exclude themselves “will be escorted from the premises when they are recognized.” “If they are self-excluded then AGCO (Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario) regulation ... prohibits us from paying out the prize,” OLG Spokesman Rui Brum said. But Marando noted that the casino had paid him his earlier winnings. “I won $400 that morning,” he said. “They paid me the $400 and five minutes later I hit the jackpot for $10,000.” Marando said the casino gave him the two dollars change from the $20 he’d put in the machine. “I should have said ‘shove it,’ but I didn’t,” he said, adding that he has contacted a lawyer about the incident. “I’m not going to let them get away with it.”

Well, are You Playing for Fun, or What?
The truth of the matter was, we were playing for the hell of it. OK, fine. But was money involved? Money? Come on. We were using like pennies. We were matching pennies. I got heads, he had tails. Just pennies. Well, you see, the law doesn’t care if you’re playing for the fun of it, or the hell of it. If money’s involved, it’s gambling. You could get busted. Pennies, nickels, dimes, does not matter. It’s the law. So why don’t the cops bust all this stuff going on? Cause the police have bigger fish to fry . . . and besides, no one’s bitchin’ . . . so, no harm, no foul. Know what I mean? Not really. What about all the chaos over this “March Madness event?” Yeah, what about this annual college basketball tournament? Here we have close to 100 million Americans dissecting the possible winners and losers of 130 college basketball games. The month of March is the leading month in sales of antiacids and booze. People do go mad. Forget the people. Let’s talk money: Money bet on these 100 plus games. We’re not talking couple hundred here and there, not even hundreds of thousands in cities like Waco, Texas, or Peoria, Illinois. We are talking millions -hundreds of millions across our fruited plains. The law says this action is betting; it is against the law. And yet it runs afoul of the law, coast to coast, border to border. And yet no one’s busted. No one. You know why? No one
cares, no one complains, the entire nation simply loves March Madness. Just like ev-

Betting on everything from which team player is first to clutch his crotch to the total score of game 58. Yeah, it’s illegal. It is against the law. So, go arrest these lawbreakers.

It never happens because it’s “The will of the people.” It was written several thousand years ago in Athens, ancient Greece: “No law enacted, or denied, will ever be as strong as the will of the people.” Prohibition proved that.

Inquiring Slot Players Want to Know By John G. Brokopp
Today let’s examine some questions that occupy the minds of many slot players who wish to learn the truth about the games they play: Is it possible for a slot machine’s internal computer program to control the speed of each individual reel?
Slot and video poker machines have many play characteristics and settings. Among them is the speed at which cards are dealt or the reels spin. On many video poker games, there is a touch screen function that allows guests to select the speed at which they feel comfortable playing. When such a function is unavailable, as it is on most slots, the properties are set internally. Players will encounter traditional spinning reel slots on which decisions are reached faster than others. This characteristic has no impact whatso-
April 2017
John G. Brokopp is an author, columnist, and freelance writer specializing in casino gambling and horse racing. Contact him at jgbrokopp1@gmail.com ever on the payback percentage of the game. The same outcome would occur had the reels spun slower. It is wise to avoid slot machines that have “rapid fire” play. Playing at a leisurely pace is hard enough. When a unit’s reels spin too fast and play outcomes are reached too fast it is best to move on to a more user friendly machine Does using a player’s club card inserted in a machine affect performance? Having your player’s club card inserted in the machine wields no influence on the performance of the game, how much you win or lose, or whether or not you hit a jackpot. The card reader does not communicate with the game itself but rather with a database operated and managed by the property’s marketing division. Statistics on how often you visit,
what games you play, how much you typically wager, what denomination you play, and how long you stay are tabulated to create a player profile upon which offers and communications are based. Using a card can only help you derive more value from your casino outings, especially by earning points for your play that can be redeemed for cash or comps. There is no doubt player’s clubs are self-serving for the casinos, but there is a give-and-take component that makes them beneficial to guests as well. How do you determine the payout percentages for video poker machines?
The individual payback percentages of traditional spinning reel and video slots are proprietary information, but video poker machines are a different ball game. The payback percentages of video poker machines are based on a mathematical formula using information from the game’s pay table, which is in clear public view. The standard way to determine a video poker game’s payback percentage is to make a calculation based on the number of coins paid back for each one wagered for a full house and
a flush. For example, a Double-Double Bonus game that pays nine-coins-to-one for a full house and five-coins-to-one for a flush is a “9/5” game that pays 97.87 percent. The best source for finding video poker game payback percentages is www.videopoker.com. Click “improve your skills” on the left side of the home page and then click “pay tables” in the box that opens. You’ll find the percentages for every game and every available pay table. The following video poker strategy is for 9/5 Jacks or Better. Source of table: WizardofOdds.com
