PLAYERS TALK Q: I love your magazine—especially the question and answer section, the upcoming games section and Sami’s section.

Those are my favorites but I enjoy reading the whole entire magazine every month. This is a question for either the editor or I suppose it can be a gripe for Sami … My husband plays video poker and I play video keno. He’s always getting down on me because he says I should play video poker. I win (and lose) just as often as he does and I have won quite a few big jackpots with a very small bet. Is video keno really a much worse game to play over video poker?

Janet Jowett – Scottsdale, AZ A: Janet, video poker aficionados, like your husband, pride themselves in playing these slot machines because they have the highest return percentages in the casinos. And, they should pat themselves on the back for choosing to play games that have paybacks of 95 percent and higher. However, just because video poker’s payback percentages are generally higher than video keno’s payback percentages doesn’t mean video poker is necessarily the better game. Numbers can be deceiving, especially in the case of payback percentages. Sometimes the overall payback percentage of a game doesn’t tell the whole story.

What’s also important to keep in mind is the hit frequency of the various wins and how much they return relative to the odds of hitting them. For instance, when playing straight up video keno whose 7-spot pays 7,000 to 1, the odds of hitting this award are about 1 in 40,000. Well, guess what? These are the exact same odds for hitting a Royal Flush! I don’t know about how you feel, but in my opinion the 7,000 to 1 payout for catching a 7-spot sure beats the 800 to 1 payout for a Royal Flush with a one credit bet!

Even though the odds of some keno jackpots are really out there, like the 9-spot whose odds are 1 in 1,000,000, the rewards for coming close are just as sweet. I’ll still take an 8 out of 9-spot for the 4,700 to 1 payout over a Royal Flush any day. And, I only have to wait for this award to come around 1 in 30,000 games!

With long-term payback percentages of over 91%, the long-term odds on video keno are generally better than the long-term odds on most of the penny slots. In fact, in most cases, the odds of winning the highest win on a three reel slot machine is at least once in every 100,000 spins. For video slots, the odds can range from once in every 500,000 spins to once in every 50,000,000 spins! And, most video keno games do not offer incentives to play max bet. So, when you wager more, your wins are just proportionately higher. Therefore, you can tell your husband at least he should be happy you’re not playing video slots!

Have fun picking your spots and playing video keno. Don’t worry about what your husband says. Over the long run, you will be luckier and have more winning sessions if you have a positive attitude and are having fun, and that means playing the games you enjoy playing. $

HOW TO PLAY OMAHA—PART I Not Quite As Easy To Learn As Texas Hold ‘Em But Just As Much Fun!

I

f you’ve been introduced to poker this century, you probably know how to play Texas Hold ‘Em. A game that takes ten minutes to learn and a lifetime to master. Omaha takes longer to learn, so this is the start of a three-part series.

The biggest difference between Texas Hold ‘Em and Omaha is that you’ll get four cards to start with instead of two. Then, you make your best five-card high-hand with the five community cards. The other difference is that you must use exactly two of your own cards with three of the community cards.

If that sounds confusing, it is. Especially when you play the game hi-low; more on that later. First, let’s look at a standard $2/$4 limit game: Betting rounds are the same as Texas Hold ‘Em with a button signifying the dealer spot that gets cards last and acts last after the flop. The first spot after the button posts the small blind of $1. The next spot posts the mandatory big blind of $2.

Still, the ability to make straights and flushes in Omaha is the reason that the second-best starting hand is Ace-Ace Jack-Ten double suited. That starter lets you make both Broadway straights and nut flushes.

After each player has their four cards, the player left of the big blind must call $2, raise to $4, or fold. The action continues around the table with the blinds acting last. All remaining players get to see the flop of three community cards.

To emphasize why there is so much variance in Omaha, let’s look at a big hand that happens in Texas Hold ‘Em: the best starting hand versus the second-best starting hand or Ace-Ace vs. King-King heads-up. With this hand, the Aces will win 82% of the time. That makes it a 4-1 favorite. Nice!

Next, play starts with the first player left of the button who may check or bet $2. If there is a bet, remaining players must call, raise, or fold. After the 4th community card (the turn), the minimum wager becomes $4, and it’s the same after the river or 5th card.

Omaha Tips There be variance, Matey. In Texas Hold ‘Em, a pair of aces is the best starting hand. The worst is 7-2 unsuited. In Omaha, a starting hand of Ace-Ace King-King double suited is the best, but Ace-Ace 7-2 unsuited is weak. There are 1,326 starting hand combinations in Texas Hold ‘Em. There are 270,725 in Omaha.

Unfortunately, most are garbage.

Starting with four cards means there are ample opportunities for your opponents to make straights and then the flushes that crush them. And, no straight or flush on the turn is safe when the board pairs on the river. There are too many ways to make a full house!

14 Arizona Gaming Guide | October 2019 | azgamingguide.com

In Omaha, the best starter of Ace-Ace King-King double suited vs. Ace-Ace Jack-Ten double suited is just a 33% winner (41% tie and 26% loser). The best hand has just a 7% edge! So, make sure your starting hands consist of high cards, preferably pairs, and have a chance to redraw. That means when you don’t hit your pair, you can make a flush or a straight. And when you do have an edge, raise for value!

YOU’RE DONATING $$$ TO THE CASINO If You Don’t Play Perfect Basic Blackjack Strategy

I

f you are not playing perfect basic strategy when you play Blackjack, you are donating your money needlessly to the casino of your choice. For example, if you stand on twelve against a dealers up card of two, you will lose 29.3% of all the money you bet in that situation. If your average bet is $10, it costs you $2.93 to stand. By hitting, you reduce your loss by $.40 or $2.53 per hand.

If you play just 4 hours a week, the amount you donate in this situation may surprise you. Over a year’s time, you will play about 12,000 hands and you will see twelve vs. a two about 75 times. Standing instead of hitting your twelve vs. a dealer up card of two over a year’s time adds up to $30 a year. Do you really want to give your favorite casino $30 more a year? Do you think they need an extra $30? If you're scared of busting or taking the dealer's bust card, you're giving the casino a gift each and every time you stand.

This is only one example of what it costs you to misplay a hand.

Each time that you deviate from basic strategy, you’re donating your money to the casino. How much? The chart below will demonstrate the unbelievable amounts you donate to the casino by misplaying each hand. This chart is based on 4 hours of play per week and an average bet size of $10.

Wrong Play Stand with 12 vs. 3 Stand with A-7 vs. 9 Hit 11 vs. 10 Stand A-7 vs. 3,4,5,6 Stand A-6 vs. 7 Double 9 vs. 7 Stand 16 vs. 7 Stand 16 vs. 10

Correct Play Hit Hit Double Double Hit Hit Hit Hit

Cost of Playing Wrong $10.20/year $09.28/year $99.00/year $32.89/year $21.89/year $19.44/year $37.00/year $12.09/year

strategy player will double on 11 against a dealer’s 10 twelve times in a row and lose all twelve, but on the thirteenth time he will do it again, because he has complete faith in basic strategy.

Hunches and intuition have no place in the game of Blackjack!

While I'm a generous tipper, I never donate my money to the casino. You shouldn't either.

I have a brand new book out called How To Become A Blackjack Jedi. It teaches you everything you need to know and some things that you haven’t even thought of before. Order it on my website at freewebs.com/tjsblackjackcorner/mybook.htm $

Keep in mind that this is only a partial list of misplayed hands.

Can you imagine the amount that is donated by players who routinely play on a "hunch?” These are also the players that complain that they never win and don't know why. Well now they know.

Hopefully this chart is a wake-up call to those of you that know basic strategy, but play hunches and gut feelings some of the time. The difference between players who makes money at Blackjack and those who don't is simple … The perfect basic

CRAPS BASICS—PART III Lay, Place or Buy...Oh My!

I

n my last two articles, I focused on the PASS, COME and associated ODDS bet. Although they are the best CRAPS bets to make, in terms of beating the house edge, they can be boring. Is there a way to make CRAPS more exciting?

Yes there is! They’re called Lay, Place and Buy bets or LPB. They are comparable to the ODDS bet; however, you can make these bets without waiting for a Point to be established. In fact, you can make these bets before the dice are rolled. There is one caveat. Unlike the ODDS bet, these bets do not pay true odds.

To better understand the LPB bets, as opposed to PASS and COME bets, I will explain the concept “with” or “against” the 7.

When you are betting with the 7, you are hoping the 7 will be rolled. When you are betting against the 7, then the last thing you want to hear is “Seven Out.” This expression occurs after a point is established, Buy or Place bets have been made and a 7 was just rolled. Your Buy and Place bets lose. The only expression that is worse is “Point, Seven Out” which occurs when the 7 is rolled immediately after the Point was established and you made a ton of bets. They all lose.

Make Place and/or Buy (PB) bets when you’re betting against the 7. Since a 7 can win on the Come Out roll then these bets are normally Off, that is they won’t lose when the 7 is rolled. Once the point is established you make, or turn on, the PB bets.

There are several betting methods that you can use, depending on your bankroll and how much you want to risk for each bet.

These bets are referred to by different names: Inside, Outside, Across, etc. Keep in mind that these bets will all lose when a 7 is rolled.

Use the Lay bet when you wish to bet with the 7. This bet is the opposite of the Buy bet. The bet wins if a 7 is rolled, and loses if the number is rolled. The Lay bet is unaffected by any other number rolled. This makes it the perfect bet for the Come Out roll, when you want the 7 to win.

To best utilize the Lay bet, bet all numbers (i.e. Lay the line) before the Come Out roll as shown in Figure 2. If a 7 is rolled, all Lay bets win. If a number is rolled, only that Lay bet loses. If a 2,3, 11 or 12 is rolled then nothing happens.

It’s best to have a betting strategy when making LPB bets. I prefer to make PB bets after the Point is established. If a number wins, I increase the bet by 1 unit for that number. I will repeat and double the Lay across bet after each win. Remember, you are only risking the loss of a single Lay bet.

FIGURE 2—LAY BET ACROSS ALL NUMBERS Geez, what are the odds? Knowing the odds is one of the most important parts of the game of Craps. It is the backbone of the game. Figure 3 contains a table showing the types of LPB bets with odds, win amount and payout (Place and Buy bets are in Red, Lay bets are in Green). $

Figure 1 represents various PB bets. The red boxes indicate the numbers being bet. A $1 bet is placed on each box.

FUNK-A-PALOOZA AT THE DIAMOND CENTER SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26 Funkateers will converge at Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment’s Diamond Center on Saturday, October 26, 2019 for Funk-A-Palooza. Featured funk pioneers include the Ohio Players, Con Funk Shun, and Zapp. Tickets start at $30 and are on sale now. Tickets can be purchased through Star Tickets and at Desert Diamond Casino’s Box Office. Doors open at 7 p.m.; show starts at 8 p.m.

The official R&B Music Hall of Fame artist, Ohio Players, has a perfect blend of funk, soul and R&B melodies. With the group’s contagious sound, they have easily sold over a million copies and have been awarded numerous No. 1 hit singles from “Fire,” “Contradiction,” “Skin Tight,” “Funky Worm,” “Sweet Sticky Thing,” and “Love Rollercoaster.” With a total of two gold disc and three platinum records their impeccable musicianship, horn-driven sound, and notorious album covers are still being celebrated and recognized today.

Con Funk Shun has been known for delivering high-energy shows with alluring vocal harmonies, spunky choreography, and well-orchestrated rhythmic sounds. They are, unquestionably, among the pioneers of the funk era, known for their sensual ballads and perfectly woven grooves. They have charted four consecutive Gold albums and one Platinum, along with 20 hit singles, eight Top Ten R&B Hits, and a No. 1 R&B hit, “Ffun.” Their familiar hits: “Chase Me,” “Shake And Dance With Me,” “Ms. Got-The-Body,” “Straight From The Heart,” and “I’m Leaving Baby,” have become timeless slow-jams.

CON FUNK SHUN

Since the late 1970s, Zapp has always been a joyful family affair with brothers, Roger, Lester, Larry, and Tony Troutman, who have released funky, high-energy jams built for dancing, loving and good times. They have revolutionized the genre of funk with their trademark computer electro vocoder talk boxes and bopping grooves. Zapp became a platinum success, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Top R&B tracks thanks to their hip-shaking single, “More Bounce to the Ounce.” Within five years, the band had scored a number of top-10 R&B Hits: “Dance Floor,” “Doo Wa Ditty,” “I Can Make You Dance,” “Heartbreaker,” and “Computer Love.” The group has collected more than four gold records and has continuously drawn audiences worldwide with their sizzling chemistry and revolutionary sound.

Treena Parvello, Director of Public Relations and Communications for the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise, said, “Your favorite hip-shaking tunes and nostalgic-filled rhythms from the late 1970s will be showcased at the Diamond Center on October 26 as part of Funk-A-Palooza! Come out and see the Ohio Players, Con Funk Shun, and Zapp for as little as $30!”

SAMI’S SMACKDOWN

By Sami Becker

DOLLARS & SENSE 7 Things You Should Never Do While You’re At A Casino

D

ear Sami, why is it that so many people at the casino act as if they’ve lost their minds? Your “Bad Manners” article in September’s issue was great and I agree with every single point you made. Yes, people are rude, they’re inconsiderate, they’re not grateful, and on and on. But, people also act very irrationally when at the casino like they take out more money when they shouldn’t, they get drunk, etc. I think you should also do an article about other things besides bad manners.

Dave Koski – Phoenix, AZ Dave, I absolutely agree with you. However, we’re all human and we do things in the moment that in hindsight we wish we can take back. I still have a difficult time reminiscing about my 21st birthday party without sending shivers throughout my whole body. For some reason, at the time, my young self thought it would be okay to do several shots of vodka quickly without any consequences. So, as my party went on without me, I lay horizontal on my bed staring at the ceiling wondering why I had chosen to act so recklessly?

Gambling is an exciting entertainment option, but it’s also very easy to get swept up in the moment and make foolish decisions.

I have established strict rules for myself that I adhere to when I visit a casino so that I don’t have any regrets later. Below are seven things, in my opinion, people should never, ever do at a casino!

1. Never take out money at the casino.

The fees, alone, are exorbitant. During each casino visit, you will win some and you will lose some. Accept the ups and downs that come with gambling. Never, ever allow the downs to make you lose your head. Don’t invest more time and money above and beyond your predetermined bankroll.

2. Never lose track of time at the casino.

There is a reason why there are no clocks in a casino and the lights are always dim. They don’t want you to worry about your obligations outside in the real world. For this reason, make sure you wear a watch and set an alarm on your phone if you have prior engagements you need to attend to.

3. Never play while impaired at the casino.

The lights, the music, and the energy in a casino can really get a person pumped, because it’s an exciting environment. However, you are making an investment with your money so never play

34 Arizona Gaming Guide | October 2019 | azgamingguide.com

when inebriated. There’s a reason why some casinos offer free alcohol.

4. Never play without using a player’s card.

Points accumulated on a player’s card can be used towards cash back and/or free play, food, hotel rooms, show tickets, and more! If you don’t take advantage of the extra benefits that come with using a player’s card, then you’re giving the casino an even greater advantage!

5. Never play if you are angry or frustrated.

If your mood changes so much while at the casino to the point where you become upset, it truly is time to call it a day and try your luck again another time. For those of you who are card or video poker players, going on tilt can cost you dearly.

6. Never lose your focus at the casino.

While there are many distractions at the casino, you should continue to focus on the game you are playing. Schedule breaks in advance if you need to. Expert video poker players and other card players will all confirm that if you are no longer concentrating on the game, you should stop playing.

7. Never lose your head at the casino.

Regardless of the type of casino game you enjoy playing, you have to accept that there will be losing sessions. Casino players that beat a dead horse and feed more money into a machine or at a table game, will usually end up down and seldom ahead.

Cut your losses and stay positive about your next play session at the casino. $

What do you get if you cross a four-leaf clover with poison oak? A rash of good luck!

What do you get when you cross a pillowcase with a stone? A sham rock!

Why should you never iron a four-leaf clover? You don’t want to press your luck.

The CEO was scheduled to speak at an important convention, so he asked his assistant to write him a punchy 20-minute speech.

When the CEO returned he was furious. Cornering his assistant, he didn’t hold back. “What’s the idea of writing me an hourlong speech? Half the audience walked out before I finished!”

“I wrote you a 20-minute speech,” the assistant replied, baffled. “And I also gave you the 2 extra copies you requested.”

I’m not going to limit myself just because people won’t accept the fact that I can do something else.—Dolly Parton I have become my own version of an optimist.
