LEE
GREENWOOD JUNE 30 TICKETS AT TICKETS.COM OR CASINO BOX OFFICE BUFFALOTHUNDERRESORT.COM 877-THUNDER (877.848.6337)
As one of the most recognized icons in country music, Lee Greenwood brings his many hit songs and genuine “God Bless the USA” pride to Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino this June 30. To date, Greenwood has racked up seven No. 1 songs, 25 charted singles, and one Platinum album, American Patriot. Hits include “It Turns Me Inside Out,” “Ring On Her Finger Time on Her Hands,” “I don’t Mind the Thorns if You’re the Rose,” and “Somebody’s Gonna Love You.” And his music is diverse, as he proved with duets like “To Me” with Barbara Mandrell, and “Hopelessly Yours” with Suzie Boggus, which was nominated for a Grammy. His industry accolades include two Male Vocalist of the Year awards from the Country Music Association (1983 and 1984), and a Grammy for Top Male Vocal Performance in 1985 for “I.O.U.” He also won the CMA Song of the Year in 1985 for writing “God Bless the USA,” which has been voted the most recognizable patriotic song in America.
“‘USA’ is the song I always felt the need to write,” Greenwood has said. “I wanted to have something that would unite Americans from coast to coast, and instill pride back in the United States. The song represents my family, my community, and those men and women who have paid the price for the freedoms we all love and enjoy.” Greenwood also performs at many charitable events and gives his time and name to numerous organizations and fundraisers. He is the national spokesperson for Products for Good and the Honor 1 Campaign, and he is on the advisory board of the Challenger Commission, which helps keep the memory of the shuttle crew alive through various youth-oriented initiatives. The singer is also a member of the National Endowment for the Arts Council, a Presidential appointment. Come experience Lee Greenwood, an icon of both country music and the USA, at Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino on June 30. For more information, visit www.buffalothunderresort.com

Land-based vs. Online Casinos - Spice it Up! By Publisher Jim Hickey
Most of us like variety in our lives. Maybe it’s the occasional meal out rather than cooking something at home, or going to an outdoor event rather than watching something on TV. We like alternatives because, well, as the saying goes, “variety is the spice of life.” We have entertainment and gaming choices, and two of our primary gaming alternatives are to experience a “live” landbased casino or play a game online. And then there are the variety of games and where to play them, what is more fun or has better odds. Do we want a drink, or feel like people-watching? Or do we want to have dinner or go to a show after we play our game of choice? As Steve Hill of the Shrewsbury Casino Club wrote, a lot of people love the idea of land-based casinos simply because they offer a special atmosphere. Guests can walk around the casino and find the games they prefer to play and, sometimes, it’s a chance for them to meet new people and be in totally new surroundings. In addition, Hill writes, people are drawn to the entertainment shows that many land-based casinos offer. Look at the shows and specials covered in this month’s Casino Entertainer. Music, comedy, Father’s Day specials, to name just a few. And big headliner shows! Check out our June cover! That’s why our publication is read by 60,000 readers every month—because real casinos (aka “land-based”) offer so much more fun than playing a game online. Sure there are advantages to playing online—like playing in your pajamas or not having to drive anywhere. What it comes down to is this: what are you in the mood for? Both avenues have entertainment to offer—it’s a matter of convenience or variety. Want to add some spice to your life? Check out the variety of fun at your local casino, and enjoy!

JULIANNE AND DEREK HOUGH MOVE BEYOND LIVE ON TOUR Julianne Hough is arguably one of the most well-known actress/dancers working today. A two-time professional champion of Dancing with the Stars, she was also the lead in the 2011 remake of Footloose and the 2016 Fox television production of Grease. Now she is teaming up with her brother, Derek, a talented actor/dancer in his own right, for an exciting all-new live gig, which she recently announced on her website: “My brother Derek and I are beyond thrilled to announce our third tour: MOVE Beyond!! Whether you’ve been to the first, second, or both of our sold-out tours, or even if this will be your first time, you and your expectations will be blown away! This show is going to be like nothing we’ve ever done before.” Julianne goes on to say that the intention of MOVE Beyond is to let the audience’s imagination run free. “The show will feature inspiration pulled from the elements— earth, wind, fire, and water—as well as an all-new stage and incredible choreography. We cannot wait to share it with you!”

Friday, June 9 @ 8pm
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to engage with the Hough siblings through MOVE Beyond at Route 66 Casino on Friday, June 9.
ABSOLUTE JOURNEY TRIBUTE TO JOURNEY Saturday, June 24 @ 8pm
No doubt Journey was one of the most popular rock bands of the 1970s, dominating the charts with mega hits like “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Any Way You Want It,” “Feelin’ That Way,” and “Wheel in the Sky,” to name just a few. For several years now, Absolute Journey has recreated the iconic rock band’s essence live and in concert, and they’re bringing their show to Route 66 Casino’s Legends Theater this month. Formed in Toronto, Canada, in early 2014, the quintet plays a faithful reproduction of the Steve Perry-era of the San Francisco act, enriched with audience interactivity, projections, backdrops, and true-to-the-original costume changes. And the group doesn’t aim to be a plain carbon copy of the real thing—every effort on stage, from singing and playing to the moves, is so natural and heartfelt that it captivates even the most skeptical critic. Seeing—and hearing—is believing. Relive one of the best rock groups of the 1970s with the Absolute Journey tribute at Route 66 Casino’s Legends Theatre. For more information go to www.rt66casino.com

Trump Taj Mahal Sells for 4 Cents on the Dollar The Trump Taj Mahal, a casino that Donald Trump built for $1.2 billion in 1990 on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, sold for 4 cents on the dollar this March. As reported in the Associated Press, Hard Rock International, owned by Florida’s Seminole Indians, bought the property for $50 million from billionaire Carl Icahn. Trump sold the casino to Icahn in 2009, and their agreement on that sale allowed Icahn to continue to use the Trump name on the property. But Icahn couldn’t make a go of it; the gaming palace was shuttered last fall
and put up on the market. Trump dubbed the Taj Mahal casino “the eighth wonder of the world” when it opened. And although he authored The Art Of The Deal, it was the Seminole tribe who made a truly
amazing score on the casino built by the man who is now president of the United States. Hard Rock plans to spend $375 million to renovate the Taj Mahal, and to reopen it in 2018. Representa-
tives for the organization say the new casino will draw on the Hard Rock’s huge collection of music memorabilia, the world’s largest. Hotel guests will even be lent Fender electric guitars to play in their rooms.

Trivia Turns to Gold
So you’re betting pennies—Lincoln head pennies—heads or tails, which side will come up on the next toss. It’s a 50/50 shot right? Wrong. Bet the tail side up. With a new penny, it could run as much as 80/20, tail side up. That’s because the side with Lincoln’s head is a tad heavier, forcing it to land on its head—please excuse the pun. So it’s tail side up and you’ll be money ahead, or at least pennies ahead. The moral here is always know what your chances are and don’t assume everything is equal. One of the first rules in gambling is that nothing is ever equal—nothing. There’s a ying and a yang to every proposition. For every betting method, system, or play there is an equal method, system, or play to stop us from breaking the house. And one of those methods is the house limit. So much for the tactic of doubling up—and doubling up—until you’ve scored. Sooner or later, you will run into the house limit, and then you’re holding a short stack. Look, I’m not here to dampen your love of the game; I’m reiterating the well-known fact that gambling is entertainment: treat it as such, and you’ll really be money ahead. I believe you know this, as well as you know your social security number. Sometimes, however, when we’re out of town visiting a city like Las Vegas, or any big city with a casino or two, we are never satisfied with small winnings—we want to break the bank. But when we’re at home playing in a joint that’s a just few minutes from the house, we pocket our winnings when we hit a hundred dollars or so and save it for another day of play. In Vegas, however, a hundred dollars or two is nothing to brag about back home. Nope, in that instance, we need to go for a big bundle and bring home a basketful of Franklins. We forget that more often than not, we return home with an empty basket. Why? Because we are comfortable walking out of a home turf casino with small winnings, knowing that we will return where we left off—a winner. Research proves this time and again. Our ROI, or return on investment, is different at home than it is when we are on vacation or out of town on some business or family engagement. When traveling, we tend to look for 300 to 500 percent returns on a stake of around a couple hundred dollars. Which, of course, is insane. At home, however, if we can make $20 on a $100 bet—a 20 percent return—we’re elated because we intrinsically understand that on Wall Street, for instance, a 20 percent return on an investment makes one a wizard. So, don’t go off the rails on your trip to Casinoville. It’s where the fun is, yes, but just make sure to play smart and be cool. That’s what winners do.

Shuffle Up and Deal for the 2017 World Series of Poker
The 48th annual World Series of Poker, the one competition that every professional poker player in the world eagerly awaits, kicked off at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on May 30 and will run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through July 17. Last year’s WSOP set an all-time record for attendance with 107,833 entries. Over $221 million in prize money was distributed. There’s every reason to believe this year’s edition will surpass those numbers, given the high expectations that Jack Effel, the tournament director, holds for the 2017 competition: “The focus on the schedule remains squarely on two core principles: the biggest prize pools possible and diversity in offerings to provide something for everyone,” Effel said. The tournament is of such magnitude that in order to accommodate players who are expected to make the pilgrimage to Las Vegas from over 100 nations across the globe, an estimated 500 poker tables will fill the 200,000-square-foot Rio Convention Center This year there will be 14 official WSOP gold bracelet events to be decided over the 50 days of competition, which include eight new tournaments, one of which is a $10,000 Tag Team No Limit Hold’em game made up of two– and four-person teams. The three-day

event began on May 31. Another tournament of significant value is Colossus III, the world’s largest live poker tournament, which will have a guaranteed prize pool of $8 million. It’s the highest ever offered for what is a $565 buy-in event, and $3 million more than the original guarantee. For the first time WSOP is introducing events in the $300 price range, making executive director Ty Stewart’s vision of attracting greater numbers of “every-day” players a reality. “This 2017 schedule reflects our continuing goal to broaden poker’s appeal and encourage first-timers and recreational players to come experience WSOP for themselves,” Stewart said. Other tournaments worth special mention include the $1,000 Seniors (50-plus) on June 16 and the $1,000 Super Seniors (65-plus) on June 18. The showcase competition, the World Championship Main Event with a $10,000 buy-in, begins on July 8. Please visit the official website, www.wsop. com, for complete tournament information and schedule of events.

June 2017
ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19) June is a very fast-paced month for you, featuring a great deal of travel, socializing, and networking. You make great financial strides after the ninth, when Jupiter moves ahead in your personal and business zone, bringing in new monetary opportunities. Your romantic life also begins looking up now.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 22) The first part of June may be unsettling, as the vibrations of Mars enter your sign on the fourth, creating mixed emotions. It may be difficult to be part of a team on the job front when you want to take the lead. This is an aggressive aspect for forging ahead professionally.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 23) The planet Jupiter moves ahead and paves the way for selfgrowth and personal expansion. If you’ve had obstacles, watch them melt away and your goals begin to manifest over the next few months. It’s time to brush up on your skills or try your hand at a new career.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20) Your ruling planet brings financial gifts and makes this a soothing month. You will catch up on buying new clothes, and will also consider a makeover or getting back to the gym. This is a period of personal fulfillment during which you will put energy into yourself. You contemplate a job change after the fourth.
LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22) Your energy becomes more focused on work prospects and being more creative and productive. This is a transitional period, during which you may want to sell everything, uproot, and start over. The cosmos helps you rethink a new plan and learn from past mistakes. Take inventory.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 21) Fiery Mars is getting ready to move in a more favorable aspect to your sign. If you’ve been under the weather, expect to start feeling like your old self again. It’s time to reflect on the conditions of your life and make positive changes. A new financial game plan arises under the full moon.
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 21) Happy Birthday, Gemini Twins! The sun and the planet Mercury stay in your sign, speeding up events as you climb the ladder to success and possibly make a name for yourself in your career. The full moon on the ninth may change the dynamics of your relationships for the better.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22) The solar vibrations help you make progress in your career. You begin making new connections that could also require travel and many meetings. You are coming out of a stagnant financial cycle that may have required more time dealing with family matters.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21) The full moon in your sign this month makes you more intuitive and helps you overcome any fears you may have regarding your financial future. It’s time to move out of your comfort zone and get back out and mingle in new circles. Travel is more feasible in July and August. CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19) Always a hard worker with a sense of responsibility, it may be time to take a break and have some fun. The healing rays of the new moon on the 23rd get the party going—you may even head back to your old stomping ground. Love, travel, and adventure are in the air. AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 19) Stellar influences make this an easier time to get a lot accomplished and clear up any glitches on the work front. You will feel confident and productive now. If you have assumed a new professional title, you may be more comfortable. Don’t be afraid to assert your authority. PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20) This is a highly intuitive time, especially during the full moon, when you will dream more and sense and see things that you haven’t noticed before. Try to lay low socially and avoid getting pulled into emotional situations. Expect to make a major creative change on the 22nd.
