A MEMORY IN THE LAND

Known as the Washita Massacre by Native Americans, the Washita Battlefield Historic Site protects the setting along the Washita River where Lt. Col. George Custer led the 7th U.S. Cavalry on a surprise dawn raid against Chief Black Kettle’s Southern Cheyenne village.

The attack took place on November 27, 1868, and was an important event in the Indian Wars era, linking the massacre at Sand Creek, Colorado, to the battle of the Little Bighorn in Montana.

> The Washita Battlefield National Historic Site Visitor Center is located just west of Cheyenne on Hwy 47A, and is open 8am to 5pm daily, except some holidays. The overlook and trail are open daily from dawn to dusk. A walking trail down to the site of the village begins at the overlook.

> > Native Games America, LLC (Native Games) is the creation of Mark Strom, a New Zealand Maori from the northern tribe of Te Roroa and Jeff Martinez of Apache descent. Together, they have teamed with G3 (Global Gaming Group) to bring a wealth of gaming knowledge and expertise to make Native Games a serious future manufacturer and developer of Land-based, Internet and Mobile games. “Native casinos are among the largest purchasers of electronic games, why shouldn’t Natives make them too?” reasoned Mark at NIGA 2014 last spring.

> The companty was formed in 2008 with a

patented device called the Multi Wager Gaming System, which requires wagers to be made in two coin or credit increments. Native Games certified games that utilise this system have better hit frequencies, especially on the higher awards.

For example a Royal Flush, the top hand in the game of video poker, hits around one in 40,000 hands played (pays 4000), whereas in the game of Royal Spoil the same hand hits around one in 6250 hands played (pays 4000). According to Mark, “There are many ways to use the method in game math as the mathematicians can manipulate the two coins in many ways to effect volatility and create dynamic attractive paytables.”

With a team of world-class developers, Native Games has built an international presence connecting with operators from Europe, Asia, Caribbean, South and North America. Plans to roll out certified Class III gaming equipment commence throughout 2014 with California and Wisconsin casinos being the first to feature the new content.

> Mark has been travelling to the US for the

last 12 years and in particular developing cultural relationships within the Native American gaming communities. He hosted a delegation of Native Americans in New Zealand on his tribal lands which was of great significance as they talked about sovereign, economic and social issues that face native communities worldwide. He believes indigenous trade between tribes internationally is a project with huge prospects for future economic development of native communities. “Being able to be involved with my tribe’s development is very important for me.”

3-CARD POKER > > Have you ever played a game of Three-Card Poker? The game is gaining popularity across the nation. It’s different than traditional poker and depends more on luck than strategy. For starters, each player receives three instead of the traditional five cards, so there are no Royal Flushes, Four of a Kinds, Full Houses, or Two Pairs.

> There are two games in Three Card Poker: 1) Pair Plus and 2) Ante & Play.

Bet on one or on both games.

you must raise by placing what is called the Play bet, equal to the Ante. Now you play–no raises.

The dealer must qualify with at least a Queen.

If the dealer does not qualify, you win even money on the Ante and the Play bet is returned. If the dealer qualifies, here’s how the payout works: if you have a better hand, you win even money on both the Ante and Play bets; if you tie, both the Ante and Play bets push; if the dealer beats your hand, kiss both the Ante and Play bets goodbye.

Pair Plus The Pair Plus bet is a straight payout depending on your hand. The dealer’s hand isn’t an issue. You’re dealt a good hand–you win.

> Ante and Play The Ante and Play game is you against the dealer.

First you’ll make your initial bet, the Ante. You’ll be dealt three cards and can decide to either play or fold. Keep in mind that if you fold, you not only lose your Ante but also lose any Pair Plus bet you made. So think carefully. If your Pair Plus bet won anything, you shouldn’t fold. If you decide to play,

Bonus Then there’s the Bonus. If you have a Straight or higher, there is a bonus payout. This is paid whether or not the dealer qualifies. If the dealer qualifies, the play bet wins even money and the payout on the ante is based on the casino’s pay table. If the dealer does not qualify, the payout on the ante is the same as above but the play bet is returned.

> Three-Card Poker’s popularity comes from the simplicity of the game. Since you are playing against the dealer, a camaraderie can develop amongst the players. Are you ready to play?
