GIPSY KINGS Saturday, May 20 • 8pm
It has been 25 years since the Gipsy Kings captured the world’s imagination with their self-titled debut album—a record that became a genuine certified-platinum phenomenon and introduced millions of listeners to a unique, irresistible blend of traditional flamenco styles with Western pop and Latin rhythms. Nominated four times for a Grammy award, the Gipsy Kings, whose members hail from France but sing in Spanish, finally snagged a statuette in 2013 for Best World Music Album with Savor Flamenco. Their other top songs include “Bamboleo,” “Vamos a Bailar,” and
“Volare.” Having sold almost 20 million albums to date, all while retaining the same line-up, the Gipsy Kings are also tireless performers, always ready to wow audiences on stages around the world. Don’t miss this opportunity to see one of the best flamenco groups performing today, when the Gipsy Kings play Route 66 Casino Hotel on May 20. For more information, visit www.rt66casino.com

Favorites include “Dharma For One,” “Bourée,” “Nothing Is Easy,” “Living In The Past,” “Aqualung,” “Locomotive Breath,” “My God,” and “Thick As A Brick,” among others. Accompanying Anderson are Tull members David Goodier (bass), John O’Hara (keyboards), Florian Opahle (guitar), and Scott Hammond (drums).

April the Giraffe gives birth to a boy! Now, who’s betting on what his name will be? How fascinating it was—and is—to watch April the Giraffe become one of the most popular news stories in the world over the past three months. The expecting giraffe, whose home is in a zoo in Harpursville, NY, became an internet sensation that reached new heights—yes, pun intended—when she gave birth to a baby boy on April 15. In addition to the online livestream video views of the mom April, various news sources reported on everything from April’s mood to, inevitably, whether her baby would be a boy or a girl. And the gamers and odds-makers stepped in as well. As reported by Inquisitr writer Joseph Karbousky, as millions of April’s fans were eagerly anticipating the birth, so were the odds-makers at Paddy Power. The outrageous online sports book that posts odds on nearly everything under the sun was taking in action on April’s exact birth date and what April’s keepers at the Animal Adventure Park will name the baby giraffe. According to Express publication writer Stuart Winter, the current bookie odds on the baby giraffe’s name include longshots of Donald and Trump—at
25-to-1 and 50-to-1, respectively—as well as Unity and Precious, both at 14-to-1. Since the baby’s birth was a little late, the current favorite is Patience at 12to-1. The full book is: Patience 12-to-1 Unity 14-to-1 Precious 14-to-1 Gordon 25-to-1 Harper 16-to-1 Apollo 25-to-1 Oliver Junior 25-to-1 Patches 25-to-1 Donald 25-to-1 Allie 33-to-1 Truman 33-to-1 Trump 50-to-1 Showers 100-to-1 Furthermore, according to Winter, one Facebook fan of April said: “Unity is a very appropriate name. From all over the world we have all gathered to see this beautiful work of nature and it has united everyone for April’s birth.”

Myths and Hits May 2017
I’m like this guy named Allen Moody, not just because he is
a writer of fun stuff, like his book the History of Sports Betting, but because he also knows – through his research – that sports betting has been around for thousands of years. Allen is right on when he wrote “many Roman emperors enjoyed gambling and for many years it was only legal to place a bet in Rome at the circus or at the chariot races. Much like modern times, the illegality of gambling didn’t stop people from partaking in it, however.” And I agree with Mr. Moody that baseball may have been one of the first “modern-day” sports to experience betting on the game. He notes that baseball players at the turn of the last century weren’t above throwing games for profit, and more than 40 years before the well-known Black Sox Scandal of 1919, the Louisville Grays were found to have thrown games in 1877. Fast forward a couple of decades. Game 3 of the 1932 World Series: the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs. Something huge is about to happen at Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs. The top of the fifth inning, Babe Ruth’s at bat, facing Charley Root, ace of the Cubs’ pitching crew. Looks like Root’s got the Babe’s number, no balls, two strikes. There are 49,986 fans in the stands screaming taunts at Babe Ruth. Thunderous, the noise is shaking the stands. Babe steps out of the batter’s box. With the fat end of his bat he taps the bottom of each spiked shoe and returns to the batter’s box. As the intensity of anti-Ruth hysteria rises, the Babe raises his right hand and points to dead center field some 440 feet away.
Casino Entertainer • 21
Charley Root winds up and flames a fast ball down low. As the ball nears home plate, Babe Ruth swings, bat and ball meet. The ball-bat collision is heard throughout the field, as a blanket of silence covers the stands. The ball ends its rocket-like flight into the center field stands, right where Ruth had pointed. It was to become the greatest home run of all time. And 49,986 fans were witness to baseball history. That was back in 1932. Last year, 2016, a Chicago-based survey group revealed that almost 100,000 people claimed, over the years, to have been witness to the “Babe” event. Here’s my theory: For the love of the game, people want to compete, but many cannot, so they participate by betting on the game they love. It’s a way for them to “have skin in the game” . . . for the love of the game . . . OK, maybe some do it for the love of money?
JOKE OF THE MONTH

Man: “If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put U and I together.” Woman: “They got it right the first time with the N and O.”

Cutting-Edge Slot Floors Keep Players Engaged By John G. Brokopp
Spend any amount of time at your local casino and I bet you’ll come away impressed by just how often the slot machines are updated. After all, that’s how you keep players coming back for more. It requires a delicate balance of product and marketing know-how to understand the game themes and brands that attract solid player loyalty, and to experiment with recently developed products. It also takes courage to remove games from the floor that fail to attract attention. The competition among the world’s slot machine manufacturers is fierce. Their common goal is to see their product occupy as much space in casinos as possible, and the only way to do that is to convince casino owners and operators that their machines are the ones that people will want to play.
May 2017
John G. Brokopp is an author, columnist, and freelance writer specializing in casino gambling and horse racing. Contact him at jgbrokopp1@gmail.com Casinos are eager to bring new penny slots to the floor. I see some of the most trendsetting themes in play, including The Big Bang Theory, The Walking Dead II, Game of Thrones, Bonnie and Clyde, and three variations of Aristocrat Gaming’s red hot Buffalo franchise, including Buffalo Grand, Buffalo Gold, and Buffalo Stampede. Players must realize that today’s slot machines are no more machines than home computers are word processors. They are technological marvels more appropriately referred to as electronic gaming devices. Each and every game on casino floors around the world was meticulously researched and developed before it made its way into the company’s new product line. In addition to coming out with appealing themes using existing technology, a premium is placed on rolling out innovative concepts. Being “the first” is a distinction for which the brain
trusts of the companies strive. Ideas are developed under top-secret conditions so as not to give the competition a heads up. Have you ever thought about the abundance of sensory stimulation in a casino that’s purposely created to get you in the mood to gamble? The electronically generated chorus of the slots and the ornate and brightly illuminated signage combine to make a dance with Lady Luck almost impossible to resist. Casinos also keep video poker fresh by bringing in some of the newest games from video poker king International Game Technology, holder of a portfolio of over 70 themes from which to choose. One of the most entertaining that I have observed is Powerhouse Poker, a penny multihand game in which up to 27 additional hands are awarded to a player when a winning hand is dealt. The design of gaming floors and the placement of machines and tables is a perpetual work in progress to meet player dynamics. Emphasizing the fluid nature of gaming floor inventory and design, game conversions are made and new machines added virtually on a weekly basis to keep the casino on competitive footing. Slot-hit frequency is the great differentiator, but whether a machine
pays smaller amounts more often at the expense of jackpots, or jackpots more often at the expense of lesser awards, it’s all the same to the casinos.
An example of exciting gaming technology is Aristocrat’s ARC™ cabinets, which offer a cinematic experience with sweeping, curved, touch-screen technology. Enjoy premium drama, vision and sound to deliver interactive entertainment like never before. Source: www. aristocrat.com

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19) The planet Mercury opens the month by going in direct motion in your sign, making this a highly creative cycle to brainstorm, network, and maybe take a course to bring your skills up to speed. Although you are working overtime try to get out and socialize and stay upbeat. TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20) Happy Birthday, Bulls! The new moon on the 10th kicks off your personal year, and Venus in Aries gives you some space to kick up your heels and have some fun. Travel is definitely in the mix, and your bucket list of places you want to visit keeps mounting. Pace yourself. GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 21) Stay the course after a rocky three-week period and know your path will be easier. You are headed in a new professional direction and ironing out the bumps along the way. The planet Saturn in your relationship zone will teach you balance in your personal life until December.
May 2017
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 22) The new moon gives you a glimpse of the future as you reflect on long-term plans and financial goals. The planet Jupiter moves back and forth in your residency and domestic sector, making you restless to relocate. It might be wiser to stay put until it is stationary at the end of October.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 23) The alignment of planets in Taurus continues to spotlight your sector of business dealings, legacies, taxes, and any joint financial holdings. Expect to have major monetary negotiations, litigations, or pending investment returns go your way. You are going through a major spiritual awakening now.
LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22) The full moon in Gemini and several other stellar influences ramp up your possibilities to get ahead and land your dream job this month. All systems are “go” for you at this time, and many exciting opportunities come your way. Try not to control events and let things flow.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 21) Romance is on your mind as stellar vibrations light up your relationship sector. If you are searching for your partner, the hand of fate helps bring them into your life when you least expect it. The vibrations of Saturn in your income sector have kept finances inconsistent. Set new career goals.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22) The stars illuminate your consciousness, making you excited and ready to embrace the next chapter of your life. It is important that you don’t try to fix what is broken, but rather move on in preparation for the next adventure. You are moving out of a stagnant period and preparing for abundance.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21) Your identity and professional direction change course as you achieve professional credentials that open doorways. You will not be alone in your endeavors, as you become part of a team with new contacts and associates all summer. Many pending legal, education, and business matters clear up. CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19) The favorable Taurus influence helps you heal emotionally and find love and personal happiness. This is the perfect time to open up again to romantic relationships and friendships. Your ruling planet is in your health zone, helping you take care of any medical or dental issues. AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 19) The earthy planetary frequencies keep you grounded and make finances and investments a priority now. You will be interested in looking at salaries in similar positions as yours, but it may not be time to jump ship until the fall. Travel comes up as does bonding with family. PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20) As the planet Saturn moves into your career zone, you will consider if you are in the right profession or need to go back to school. You are on the brink of a new and exciting change that will put you back on track. You can afford to make a few desired purchases this month.
