Honesty Pays for One Las Vegas Taxi Cab Driver Outside of bartenders, no one is more privy to the antics of humanity than taxi drivers, especially those who work in Las Vegas. While most practice discretion in the service of valor—at least when it comes to their well-known clientele— other cabbies happily share their adventures. For instance, the gent who recounts one comical story after the other on his blog, Hacking Las Vegas, including the time he had to explain to an 80-year-old female passenger what the AVN (Adult Video News) awards were. And then there are cabbies who don’t just sit back and chuckle at the human condition, they try to make it better. Like taxi driver Gerardo Gamboa, who during a run this past December found a brown paper bag filled with $300,000 in cash in the backseat of his cab. Gamboa didn’t hesitate to do the right thing and turned the cash in to his supervisor at Yellow Checker Star Transportation headquarters. No word on whether the owner of the cash, who has been identified in the press only as a “very well known” poker player, offered up a reward. However, Gamboa’s bosses rewarded his honesty with a check for $1,000, dinner for two to a fancy restaurant, and named him driver of the year.

Navajo Nation Seeks Revised Gaming Compact A proposed agreement between the State of New Mexico and the Navajo Nation is slated for debate during the upcoming session of the New Mexico State Legislature. If passed, the agreement would go into effect later this year and allow the Navajo Nation the right to operate up to five new casinos in New Mexico over the next twenty years. The Navajo Nation’s current gaming compact, which covers two New Mexico-based operations, expires on June 30, 2015. Lawmakers were slated to debate the pros and cons of signing this new gaming compact on January 20, one day before the official start of the 30-day 2014 legislative session. Some believe the competition will negatively impact pre-existing venues, especially those along the I-40 corridor that runs from Albuquerque to the Arizona state line. Skip Sayre, marketing director for Lagu-
na Development Corp., whose two casinos, Route 66 and Dancing Eagle, lie along this corridor, summarized these concerns in a December 2013 Albuquerque Journal article on the topic. While he understands and respects the needs of the Navajo Nation for wanting this contract, he is concerned about some of its provisions as well as with market saturation. If the Navajo Nation revives a plan to build a casino at To’hajiilee, for instance, it could impact not only Laguna’s operations, but also those of Acoma’s Sky City Casino Hotel. Other lawmakers argue that the competition benefits everyone involved by creating muchneeded jobs and adding millions of dollars to the state’s coffers. We at Casino Entertainer are following the story closely and will report the outcome of the legislative debate in our March 2014 issue.

Ask Mark By Mark Pilarksi
Answering your gaming questions.
“To One” and “For One.” What’s the Difference? Dear Mark: In gambling, the term “to one” and “for one” are often used. Any chance you can break down the differences with a few examples for us? I mostly play roulette and video poker. —Fred S.
An independent publication and website published monthly to promote casino entertainment in the Southwest.
CE PUBLISHING
P.O. Box 93104 Albuquerque, NM 87109 email:casinoentertainer@msn.com Publisher/ Managing Editor: Jim Hickey Editor: Rena Distasio Art Director: Christine Carter Contributing Columnists: John Brokopp Richard Harvey Mark Pilarski Guest Columnist: Bill Previtti Horoscopes: Cynthia Hess Advertising Sales: casinoentertainer@msn.com
Anytime, Fred, you notice “for” in the middle of something for something, it indicates that you are not keeping your original wager in addition to your payback. For example, when you see odds quoted as 6-“for”-1, it means you get a total of $6 back for every $1 wagered. Your “net” win, Fred, is five units, or 5-“to”-1. Another way of looking at it is, whenever odds are quoted “X amount for one” and you win, you will “net” one unit less than X. In video poker, if your pay table pays 8-for-1 on a full house with one coin inserted, that coin is subtracted from the credit meter, then the full house adds eight credits when it hits. Your 8-for-1 payback is actually a profit of seven coins. Using “to” one with roulette as an example, if you bet a chip on a particular number, say for instance 22 black and win, you keep your original chip and receive 35 more in winnings. Here, you are paid 35-“to”-1. In a sense, Fred, the effect is the same, whether we call it 36-for-1 or 35-to-1. You have wagered one chip, and after your win you have 36 chips, 35 of which are profit.

Blackjack the Smart Way Learn Blackjack from the Pro!
Richard Harvey, Blackjack Strategist 2 Best Sellers: Blackjack The Smart Way and Cutting Edge Blackjack Order his books and products at www.Blackjacktoday.com Email your questions to: RichardHarvey@Blackjackthesmartway.com Last month, we looked at a five-player card situation where all the aces had been dealt in the first round, and we determined your odds of winning in the next round - and therefore how you should bet. Here, we have the opposite situation. In this first round card example, no aces were dealt. As I explained last month, the old school writers, whose research was done in the wrong way (using computer simulated data), told you it was best for you when aces are overdue because they assumed you were highly likely to get a blackjack. They then advised you to raise your bet dramatically going into the next round. But isn’t the ace the dealer’s trump card? My research shows that when the dealer gets an Ace whether it’s the first, second, third, fourth, or whatever card - the dealer’s overall busting rate is a paltry 8percent. Not a player-friendly situation. Plus, when the dealer gets a blackjack, everyone loses (except players with blackjacks). So an Aces-due situation is not necessarily the player’s best friend!
And there’s more bad news, because my research has revealed that if a you get an ace but not a blackjack, the ace actually acts to lower your average score! It weakens your competitiveness vs. the dealer! In this card example, too, there’s a situation most Old Schoolers would not be able to take into account that will weaken your chance of getting a blackjack in the next round. Can you see the problem? If you were using the most popular card counting method, the Hi-Lo system (which the MIT teams used), your count here (since 2s through 6s are counted as +1 and 10s and aces as -1) would be zero. What does that tell you? Nothing. A zero count is supposed to mean the cards are balanced. But are they? Here, eight 10s were dealt! My research shows that in a five-player situation, only five 10s should have been dealt in a balanced situation (that is, where each card represents the same proportion as they represent in a complete deck; in a complete deck, 10s account for roughly 31 percent of the cards). What does that mean? Your odds of getting a blackjack in the next round are less than normal. Do the math: Sixteen cards have been dealt. In a one-deck game, four of the remaining 36 would be Aces, or 11 percent. But only 8 of 36 are 10s, or 22 percent (below the norm!). So your odds of getting a blackjack in the next round are .11 x .22 = 2.4 percent (less than normal!). And now the dealer is more likely to get an Ace than is normal! Plus my research shows that players lose 66 percent of the time in rounds where the dealer is dealt an ace! For all the reasons above - plus more details you can read about in Cutting Edge Blackjack regarding aces and next round odds prediction - you’re facing a less-than normal likelihood of winning in the next round. So - in this card situation - you should bet the table minimum going into the next round!

Sangre Joven Originating from Las Vegas, New Mexico, the Sangre Joven band is renowned for a style of music that combines the Rancheras, Cumbias, and Valses traditional to their heritage. Founded in 1988 by brothers Lorenzo Miguel Gallegos and Daniel Gallegos, the group has put out seven albums and continues to tour extensively throughout the Southwest. Their first recording in 1989, Sangre Joven de Las Vegas New Mexico, quickly put them on the music scene map. Three subsequent albums produced a number of hits, including “Linda Morena,” “Esta Vida,” and “El Carrito Chevy (55).” These albums caught the attention of Los Lobos, who invited them to open for them on tour. In 2006, the band reverted back to its traditional roots with a four-piece lineup and a new CD. They currently consist of Martin Salazar (rhythm guitar, vocals) Ellerry Pena (bass, vocals), Manny Lucero (drums), and original member Daniel Gallegos (lead guitar, vocals).

February 2014
ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19) You’re definitely in the mood for love and hoping your mate feels the same way! An intimate get-away is what you’re dreaming of, so you can spend some time reconnecting. Avoid rehashing the past. Domestic matters take center stage under the full moon on the 14th.
LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22) Always the consummate romantic, you will pull out all stops for Valentine’s Day with your special someone. It’s time to escape from your career issues, have a quiet dinner, and express your true feelings. The full moon cautions you to curb spending.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21 Fun and games are in the air as you feel like giving those you love a much-needed lift. Fortunate Venus aspects highlight new contacts and consistent revenue if you have been coming up short. A love interest opens doors and helps you discover new ventures.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20) You opt for more socializing this month that may prove more refreshing. The cosmos puts you in a more introspective mood, causing you to examine patterns in relationships. Mars’s aspects cause confrontations in your work environment or with the public. Try to stay calm.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22) Try not to let too many people use you as a shoulder to cry on. You are a caretaker and a healer, but sometimes it’s best to let others figure it out. A trip may be delayed but plans resurface by the summer.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19) This is a significant cycle, when all your efforts are rewarded and you shed life’s burdens. Your new plans are better than anything you’ve come up with before. Expect positive results from investments, sales, or taxes. Trust your instincts.
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 21) Your ruling planet in retrograde until the 28th causes more confusion on the job front. Try to stay organized and take one step at a time. Actions speak louder than words, and that’s what your partner is counting on. Take a break and learn to have fun. CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 22) The planet Jupiter is in retrograde in the last phase of your sign. If you’ve been enjoying good luck it’s still with you. It may be time, however, to save some of your good fortune. Try to complete unfinished tasks. You may find it difficult to stick to a diet or exercise.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 23) The planet Mars continues to journey through your sign until July, making it difficult to get support from those around you. You should stay the course and depend on your inner strength to get through any situation that is trapping you. SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 21) You will find yourself taking your relationship to new levels. Intellectual and spiritual growth is highlighted. You will embark on a path to find all kinds of methods for self improvement, whether it is yoga, a seminar, or healthier eating. Close the door on the past.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 19) The planets Venus and Mercury complement your sign, giving you some extra cash to take a vacation. A lot of unexpected good karma is heading your way after a difficult year of obstacles. Someone from the past may knock at your door now. PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20) The planet Mercury retrogrades in your sign until the 12th, causing you to feel more emotional and unsettled with just about everything. Try not to make any major decisions until the 28th,, when circumstances are clearer and your psyche stabilizes.
