The Best in Casino Entertainment

VETERANS DAY CELEBRATION

On Wednesday, September 30, Global Gaming Expo (G2E), in conjunction with the American Gaming Association (AGA), paid tribute for the third year in a row to the outstanding artists, executives, and venues in casino entertainment. Held at the Hard Rock Jerry Lewis and Charo, Casino Entertainment Awards Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, the annual Casino Entertainment Awards is the only one of its kind to pay tribute to the people and places that make casino gaming one of this country’s most popular forms of entertainment. Highlights of the ceremonies included the Little River Band winning for Musical Artist of the Year, Ron White snagging the award for Comedian of the Year, and Charo’s lively presentation of the Casino Entertainment Legend award to iconic comedian Jerry Lewis, who got his start playing Vegas showrooms in the 1950s. The popular magic duo and Rio headliners Penn & Teller beat out such heavy hitters as Shania Twain and Motown tribute artists Human Nature to take home the Casino Entertainers of the Year award. As for venues, the Showroom at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York, was named Casino Showroom of the Year, while the AVA Amphitheater at Casino del Sol in Tucson won Casino Amphitheater of the Year.

COINCIDENCE OF INVENTION

So, let’s say you get an idea, a great idea. You think about it, and think about it, and think about it—but in the end, you don’t do anything about it. Then you read about this guy over in someplace like Puppy Breath, Montana, who had the exact same idea, only he made it a reality and is making money hand over fist. Now, don’t go moping around, acting like the guy “stole” your idea. He didn’t. Sometimes, great ideas slip into the minds of different people at different times—call it coincidence, call it (as I like to think of it), gifts from God. Whatever they are, they are simply “on loan” until someone makes them a reality. You didn’t act on it, the fella in Montana did. That’s how the world works—and has been working, for all of human existence. For instance, we can’t pin down exactly who invented the bow and the arrow. The historical record tell us that the Indians of North America as well as the foot soldiers of early Great Brit-

ain and Western Europe were all using bows and arrows at precisely the same time in history. And we’re pretty sure it wasn’t Murray the Traveling Salesman who sold them these weapons of mass destruction, either. No, they were, plainly and simply, coincidences of invention. Which brings us to today’s lesson on the history of gambling, which addresses several questions regarding the provenance of certain gaming accessories. Question number one: Who invented dice?

Answer to question number one: Everyone. Sorry, I don’t mean to be flippant, but it’s true: Dice have been found throughout the world, from inside caves dating back to the ice age in France and Germany to burial chambers of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs to the deserted campgrounds of our nation’s Native American tribes. Get the picture? Coincidences of invention. Now, when it comes to playing cards, we might be able to hone in a little tighter on who, exactly, was responsible for what. Near as we can tell, the Chinese invented playing cards sometime around 800AD—but the French get credit for inventing the specific artwork, which hasn’t changed much since before Marie Antoinette lost her head. And while I’m certain more than a handful of folks toyed with the idea, it was Charley Fey, a whiz kid born in 1862 in Bavaria, who got up off the

sofa and developed his idea for the slot machine. As a kid, Charley would take apart watches, bicycles—anything mechanical—and then re-assemble them. Flawlessly. By age 18 he was working at a high-end watch factory in Paris; at 23 he was finishing his three-year stint as a designer at a creative machine plant in London. Next stop, America—San Francisco, to be precise—where young Mr. Fey had no trouble finding work in the City by the Bay. He soon rented a room and installed his own machine shop at the very back. There, in 1895 at the age of 33, he introduced to the world the first slot machine: the Liberty Bell. He promptly took three of the Bells to three different taverns in three widely separated areas of San Francisco. Asking if the machines were an instant hit is like asking Donald Trump if he likes making money. Within six months, Charles Fey was building a factory to build his Liberty Bells. Initially, slot winnings were paid in cigars and cigarettes. Those soon gave way to cold, hard cash. And it’s been that way ever since.

For nearly 50 years, Tower of Power has been creating their own kind of soul music and appearing before sold-out crowds on their annual tours. Tower of Power can be hard to categorize, but the band’s leader and founding member, Emilio Castillo, has labeled their sound as “urban soul music.” Certainly, the band’s horn-driven rhythm section can lay down a groove that mixes soul, funk, jazz, and rock like no other band out there. With hits like “So Very Hard to Go” and “Time Will Tell,” their irresistible musicality combined with outstanding lead vocals result in one of the most dynamic groups of musicians to ever hit the stage. The only thing that sounds better than a Tower of Power album is a live Tower of Power show! Come see and hear for yourself, at Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino on November 6.

Queensrÿche first burst onto the music scene in 1982 with the release of their self-titled four-song EP Queensrÿche. They quickly gained international recognition for their operatic hard rock sound, and performed to sold-out audiences around the world. They followed that EP up with their first full-length album, The Warning, in 1984, and in 1986 the release of the groundbreaking Rage For Order solidified their worldwide reputation as one of the most respected and creative hard rock bands of the 1980s. In 1988 Queensrÿche released their most successful album to date, Operation: Mindcrime, which would go on to become one of the top ten bestselling concepts records of all time. Their critically acclaimed and commercially successful 1991 follow up, Empire, earned the band multiple Grammy Award nominations and won them the MTV Viewers choice Award for the No. 1 chart-topping hit “Silent

ba business acquisitions

Lucidity.” Queensrÿche has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and continue to push their creative process.

Big Bang Theory Slots are Pure Genius John G. Brokopp is a freelance journalist and author. He writes regularly on casino gambling. Reach him at jbrokopp@comcast.net By John G. Brokopp

Given the longstanding popularity of CBS television’s The Big Bang Theory, it was only a matter of time before the show inspired a brand new slot machine. Sure enough, the Big Bang Theory slot made its debut this summer, bringing to life all of the favorite characters of the show in an incredibly entertaining format guaranteed to captivate the nerd-lover in all of us. The escapades of Sheldon, Leonard, Penny, Howard, and Raj are brilliantly showcased visually and audibly in a platform that took game designers from Secret Sauce Studios (Aristocrat Technologies) two years to develop. It joins a lineup from the company that also includes The Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy slots. The finished product was unveiled at, of all places, Comic-Con International in San Diego. The annual sci-fi spectacular is the one event that the eccentric scientists on The Big Bang Theory simply cannot miss. Comic-Con was held only three

months ago, but the game is already on casino floors in some markets across the country and expanding its presence every day. Even though the immensely popular show starring Jim Parsons, who plays Dr. Sheldon Cooper, is coming up on its ninth season, the slot game features more than 100 video clips from only the first three seasons. But Parsons fans will not be disappointed, especially when they hear their favorite character utter his trademark “Bazinga!” This can only mean that if The Big Bang Theory slot becomes as popular as its creators think it will, there will remain a wealth of video gold to mine from more episodes. Aristocrat Technologies, based in Australia, is one of the premier names in the intensely competitive world of slot machine design, manufacture, and distribution. The company has been highly successful not only in developing its own themes but in capitalizing on licensing agreements. The Big Bang Theory slot is a game that will fascinate lovers of video slot bonus rounds. There are no less than 10 mystery bonuses associated within the base game that can be triggered at any time with any bet. A trio of “Bazinga!” icons captured on the virtual reels of the game, for example, will get the player into The Big Bang Theory Bonus Wheel.

Penny, the free-spirited neighbor of Sheldon and Leonard from across the hall, is showcased in something called the Penny Friendship Paradigm, a bonus that features scatter pays and other eye-catching visuals from the show. Leonard is in the bonus spotlight called the Large Hofstadter Collision Feature, Howard is the subject of the Mystic Warlords of Ka’a bonus, while Raj fans will delight in the imaginative Koothrapppali Scavenger Vortex Fea-

ture bonus opportunities. Also, don’t miss the Cooper Roommate Agreement Feature, or, most importantly, The Big Bang Theory Progressive Feature, for a shot at some big bucks. You can bet that with all the hype that will surround this game at the G2E Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, The Big Bang Theory will soon be available to play at casinos in every gaming market in the United States, including right here in New Mexico.

Mom is a Cheapskate!

Dear Mark: I just wanted to share a story about your column regarding tipping. We were not at a casino, but my mom and I occasionally go out to dinner or lunch. She always offers to pay, and I say I’ll get it, so she offers to leave the tip. One time, I looked down at the table to see a quarter. (The meal was probably $45). I said, “Mom, what the heck? A quarter?” She said, “Well the waitress didn’t even refill our water.” I thought, “Oh my gawd, she’s been doing this forever!” So now, I pay for the meals and leave the tip. I love my mom, but boy is she a cheapskate! P.S. Please don’t use my name. If my mom happens to read your column, she will probably throw a quarter at my head! -anonymous Luckily, because your mom is a bit of a tightwad, it won’t be a roll of quarters that hits you upside your noggin. That is just what happened to me when I broke up a brawl between two elderly ladies fighting over the same machine. It

started by one of the two claiming that a jackpot of $1,000 should have been hers as she had just vacated the machine moments earlier. (By the way, the answer to the “just whose jackpot is it anyway?” question is the person who is sitting in front of the machine and who pressed the spin button, not the person who just vacated the spot. That’s because all of today’s slot machines are equipped with random number generators, with symbol combinations constant-

ly changing every millisecond from the time you insert your last coin until the next occupant hits the spin button.) Anyway, to get back to your story, longtime readers know my stand on tipping. I tend to tip liberally. There is no need to rehash it here, except that someone has to cover for those, as you call them, “cheapskates.” Interestingly, my mother was the flip side of that same quarter; she always over tipped. So much so, that when she moved to a small town in northern Michigan, she was repeatedly chastised by friends and relatives for being so generous, often told hard-heartedly, “you make the rest of us all look bad.” Your mom’s generosity, or lack thereof, does have one bonus, at least for you. Her life as a miser has likely given her a handsome bank account that—dare I say—may come to you as an inheritance. Mine all went towards TIPS, the acronym for the phrase “To Insure Prompt Service”—that, and refills.

Taos Mountain The Fun Starts Here! THANKSGIVING CASH GRAB

Join the fun on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, for your chance to grab a bunch of cash. Five drawings will be held between 1pm and 9pm, after which the winners will have 25 seconds to grab all the cash they can from the Cash Cube, up to $2,500. A total of $12,500 will be up for grabs the whole day. All players that earn 10 points on their Bison Rewards Card (or 15 minutes of play on tables) from 8am to 9pm will be able to redeem their points for an entry into the drawings.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19) The new moon vibrations on the 11th help you make professional changes you’ve been putting off. The expansive rays of Jupiter put you back on track, with a new health regime and monetary increase. You are entering a highly creative cycle, filled with new ideas and travel.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 23) Due to circumstances beyond your control, you will experience some restrictions until spring. It may be as simple as getting used to a new location, job, or relationship. It’s time to take a new direction, and money and financial proprieties preoccupy you now.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20) You have entered a period of self-fulfillment, where you will be able to accomplish your heart’s desire and be stress free. Enjoy this time to yourself. The full moon may play games with your emotions, stirring up old issues that you thought were in the past. Talk it out.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 21) The new moon in your birthday month awakens a new depth of your emotions. These cosmic rays also energize you and help you start a more positive direction. It’s the perfect time to take a relationship to the next level, pursue an educational interest, and work on health.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 21) The lunar influence may awaken frustrations on the job. Try not to have confrontations with coworkers unless you’re ready to end those connections permanently. Family and close relationships appear difficult at the beginning of the month, so weather the storm by laying low.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21) Make sure all your business interests are in shape before the full moon on the 25th, when you may run into snags or misunderstandings. It may also be time to do some house cleaning when it comes to ending negative associations. You are in a power cycle and have clarity.

Veterans Day Service is Grand Giveaway On Wednesday, November 11, all players using their Bison Reward Cards can enter into the $1,000 cash drawing at 7pm, when they earn 10 points. All veterans with military ID receive five bonus entries by showing their ID and Bison Rewards card.

CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 22) You will reap the rewards of your efforts now. It’s time to reorganize personal possessions and property during the new moon. People you haven’t heard from in years reconnect with you under the full moon. Take short trips and do R&R to jumpstart your health. Romance abounds.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19) You have been undergoing many financial situations and changes that have impacted your lifestyle and curtailed your freedom. This is all about to change as the planet Venus teams up with Pluto, bringing a monetary windfall that will put you back on track shortly.

Day of Heroes Every Wednesday in November, all veterans or active military members that are Bison Reward Club members who show their military ID receive $5 Day of Heroes bonus play.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22) Fortunate aspects bring good news that is long overdue. There may be a move professionally, due to outside forces. A cosmic door opens, offering business and property investments. You’re ready to head in a new direction, but may have to complete old projects before you can move ahead. VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22) As the powerful forces of Mars and Jupiter move through your sign, financial luck surrounds you in the first 10 days of this month. You will feel a need to settle any misunderstandings with family and clear the air. Legal contracts and negotiations are in the forefront right up until December.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 19) The planet Jupiter transits your money zone this year, opening up the floodgates for all kinds of financial opportunities. This time around try to work on boundaries, savings, and not putting all your eggs in one basket. The full moon ignites changes on the job front. PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20) You will use this cycle to create a budget and cut back on spending. The lunar aspects clarify a legal or real estate matter. An old romantic interest reappears on the scene, but be clear about what happened in the past and don’t allow yourself to be pulled in. Remain focused on personal goals.
