Carol Watts loves Bingo.

We met up with her and some of her friends at Polish Fest Bingo at the Polish Center of Wisconsin 6941 S. 68th Street in Frankin (414) 5292140. Carol’s friend Sue Nelson says that Carol has been playing Bingo at the Polish Center for about 12 years. Carol’s other Bingo friend Maryann Sweeney is a relative newcomer.

She has only been playing there for about 6 years. All combined, that adds up to years and years of Bingo Fun. Carol has many compliments for the Polish Center. She says, “It is so nice and clean here. They make you feel like family, everyone is so polite and helpful”. Those are some great testimonials for Polish Fest Bingo and The Polish Center.

We talked to Ray Gwiazdowski who manages Bingo at the Center to get the “low down” on their Bingo and other events.

Ray said, “The Polish Center is a wonderful place to play Bingo, we have a lot of fun here. We serve great food too. Every week there is a meal served for only $6.00. This week it’s a Fish Sandwich, French Fries and Cole Slaw. Last Week it was Salsbury Steak, Mashed Potatoes and a Dinner Roll. You can always get a glass of imported Polish Beer for only $2.00. Our Bingo players really love our Home Cooking.”

Ray went on to tell us about some of the other unique benefits provided

Queen of Hearts Confusion Dear Aunt Bingo: I love playing Bingo. I’m retired and this is my evening pastime.

My question is: How often can the gaming rules be changed (by law)? The hall where I play offers Bingo as well as Queen of Hearts games and seem to change the rules when Queen of Hearts numbers get high.

I’m still trying to understand, like now the Queen of Hearts prize is up to $2,300. Tickets are sold all the way up until the day of the drawing: one ticket for $2 and three for $5. A ticket is drawn, and the person comes up and picks one of the remaining cards. If they don’t pick the queen of hearts, they win the amount on the card ($5-$50). But the money that was collected that night isn’t added to the total until after the person has picked a card, and if it’s $20 that’s won, the $20 is subtracted from the $2,300.

Last month they said that three tickets would be picked, but this does not always happen. They are not following their own rules that they read before Bingo starts. I’m going to the captain/inspector.

Change Rule as We Go, via email Dear Change: For readers unfamiliar with the Queen of Hearts game, this is not actually a Bingo game, but a type of raffle. It is considered a wagering activity, however, and is regulated just like Bingo by the state in which it is offered.

Rules vary from place to place, but in general the game is played using a standard deck of cards.

Participants buy raffle tickets that are combined for a weekly drawing. The person whose ticket is drawn gets to pick a card from the deck of cards. If the card selected is the queen of hearts, the player wins the pot. If another card is drawn, it’s thrown out and the game continues the following week with another drawing and

BINGO BUGLE PAGE 3

MAY 2019 the remaining cards.

With some Queen of Hearts games, the weekly raffle winner may get a smaller cash prize if they draw select non-winning cards.

Over time, the jackpot can grow quite substantial—far exceeding even the highest Bingo jackpot— and makes for an exciting time when the queen of hearts is finally drawn and a winner takes home the grand prize.

Following is a sample list of rules for a Queen of Hearts game. Again, these rules may vary from one locale/organization to another: • The game consists of a deck of 52 shuffled playing cards plus two jokers. Each is placed in a sealed envelope bearing a random number from one to 54 and displayed in a locked glass case.

• Players write one of these numbers on each of their raffle tickets. Each session, a raffle ticket is drawn randomly from a large bin, and the envelope that corresponds with the number on that ticket is opened to reveal the card inside. If it’s the queen of hearts, the ticket holder wins the grand prize (60 percent of the total pot; 40 percent of the winning jackpot goes to the sponsor organization). If it is not the queen of hearts, the ticket holder wins the dollar value, if any, of the drawn card.

• Tickets are $1 per chance, with no limit on the number of tickets that may be purchased. Tickets may be purchased immediately after the weekly drawing and up to 30 minutes prior to the next drawing.

• Once a card is selected, it will be removed from play and shown face up on a display board. Each week after the drawing, all tickets for that week’s drawing will be destroyed.

• Winning players are responsible for any and all taxes. A W2-G will be issued for prizes over $1,200.

It’s good that the place where you play announces the rules ahead of time, but it should also provide a printed copy of those rules in case there are questions such as yours.

Before you call an inspector, however, you may want to ask your question to someone in charge. What you perceive as “changing the rules” may in fact be quite clearly spelled out in the regulations. It’s worth asking before taking that next big step. — Aunt Bingo Share your views! Write to Aunt Bingo c/o the Bingo Bugle, P.O. Box 527, Vashon, WA 98070, or email her at STENGL456@aol. com.

Don’t Be a Victim of Pension Poaching There is a law currently making its way through Congress called the Preventing Crimes Against Veterans Act. Its purpose is to add another tool to the arsenal to prevent frauds against veterans.

Those convicted could be fined, imprisoned for five years, or both.

Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) is behind this bill, focusing on what they call pension poaching, specifically, criminals who purport to help veterans get their benefits faster and who charge a fee for services. They prowl Department of Veterans Affairs clinics, assisted-living centers, hospitals and senior housing, claiming they know all the ropes and can get veteran benefits much faster — for a fee.

These poachers seem to focus on veterans who might be eligible for Aid and Attendance benefits, which can put thousands of dollars

PICKS OF MONTH

THE

Creed II (PG-13) — Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) faces off against the son of Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) with the help of his mentor and boxing legend Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone).

The Rocky blueprint is in full effect here, so you won’t be surprised when, say, the fighter comes into the ring too arrogant and loses, or later when a grizzled, tough trainer (in this case, Rocky) breaks the fighter down and rebuilds him in an unforgiving environment (in this case, the desert). What you also should not be surprised to see is attention to detail, themes of honor and commitment to family, and some wonderful character development. Rather than being played-out, it’s well-played — a Rocky IV for the next generation.

Ben Is Back (R) — The bonds of a mother and son are tested on Christmas Eve, as Ben (Lucas Hedges) unexpectedly returns from rehab and is given an ironclad rule for remaining: He must stay within the sight of his mother (Julia Roberts) at all times. As the lure of Ben’s old life tests him time and again, the proximity reveals how addiction and drug use have distorted, marred and even taken lives in a small town. It is an

in a veteran’s pocket each month to pay for in-home care, assisted living and private nursing. What they want in return is a percentage — up front. (Yes, attorneys can charge fees for their services, but they need to be approved by the VA.) While most of us would call this fraud, there apparently aren’t any laws against charging fees.

And yet some people are against making this illegal, claiming we already have laws against fraud.

The bill has come before the last two Congresses, passing easily in the House and getting stalled in the Senate. The short text of the bills hasn’t changed.

If you’re invited to a seminar that promises to help you get your benefits, don’t go. Instead, contact the closest veterans group, such as the American Legion. Ask for the Veterans Service Officer. They won’t charge you for their services.

Remember: The more cash you’re likely to get in retroactive benefits, the more of a target you’re going to be to scammers who want a piece of that money. understandably emotional journey for both, and Roberts and Hedges have done a lovely job of giving insight into the small tensions and big dramatic moments alike.

Instant Family (PG-13) — Rose Byrne and Mark Wahlberg play Ellie and Pete Wagner, a sweet middle-class couple who, ready to be parents (they think), enter the foster system and come out on the other side as parents of not one but THREE siblings who needed a home. Teenage Lizzy (Isabela Moner) is sarcastic and rebellious; young Juan is serious and sensitive; and little Lita is a handful. It’s an awkward and heartwarming and painful process of getting to know and trust one another, while dealing with the very real issues of these kids’ traumatic past, all done with love and humor and sincerity. Based on the real-life story of director Sean Anders.

Vox Lux (R) — Natalie Portman is Celeste, an overblown icon and narcissistic celebrity on a comeback tour while attempting to manage her professional life with a smarmy manager (Jude Law) and her relationship with her daughter (Raffey Cassidy). After surviving a high-school shooting, Celeste and her sister wrote and performed a tribute song that rocketed Celeste to fame along an alcohol- and drugfueled path. Is this a statement on the celebrity of tragedy or a cautionary tale of the instant fame of this generation? I’m still not sure. That it came out in the same flow as Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star Is Born certainly dimmed its star. There will be no encore.

Back at Bingo My good friend, Julia, has had back problems for as long as I’ve known her. She recently spent a month in the hospital and then a rehabilitation facility to make her better. Many of her activities were limited, but the worst of all was that she was forbidden to play Bingo. “Too long sitting in one spot,” the doctors said. So when she called me to say that she had been released and could now play Bingo, we were both elated.

“I have to stand up after every game and walk around during intermission, but I can play!”

She was more than just a little exuberant.

Right away we planned a Bingo trip, just Julia, Kate and myself.

“I don’t want to appear disabled in front of anyone else just now,” said Julia. “Let me get used to it first.”

Arriving at the casino, we first came across Machingo, which Julia wanted to try. It was ideal as

WISCONSIN EDITION

MAY 2019 you could either sit or stand. She started playing while Kate went to check on times for the regular session and I watched.

Julia played several games, having no success. It was not difficult to get the hang of, but was definitely reluctant to pay off. Also, it gobbled quarters at an alarming rate so Julia was happy to leave it and go to regular Bingo.

Kate and I were both careful to keep an eye on Julia, as we did not want this to be her last Bingo outing. But we also had to be careful not to let Julia know we were watching her as we did not want her to feel spied upon. All in all, Kate and I were both pretty tense.

After the first game, Julia stood and walked around her chair three times. “I want it to look like a good luck ritual rather than a disability,” she explained.

I could not understand her reticence, but accepted it as just part of Julia.

Kate thoroughly enjoyed bouncing up and down and was doing it along with Julia, exclaiming, “I never realized this would feel so much better. I think I will try to remember to do it from now on.”

Julia was on, which “gets my blood flowing,” she pronounced.

“I may not win but I am having a wonderful time. Maybe I will do better after intermission.”

At intermission Julia walked all the way outdoors with Kate trailing along. “This is just great,” said Kate as they came back in. “I feel like a million.”

“How’s your back?” I asked and

Julia replied that it felt okay and that she was in no particular pain.

Julia won the first game after intermission, but had to share with two others, which made her winnings pretty small. “It sure is better than nothing,” she said, laughing.

Then we had a new game—at least new to us. It was a diamond with a cross in the middle, which was a bit hard to understand, but we finally got it and very quickly I was on. I began chanting the number I needed until Kate hissed at me to stop, but then there it was, in the monitor, coming up next. I held my breath, but no one called Bingo and I was in. I won.

Hallelujah and happy day!

We went home happy and ready for another wonderful day of Bingo.

Status Update One of the perks of old age is you can speak your mind, and because you are frail and fragile, people don’t want to call you a complainer or some other word that is not quite so polite. Sometimes they even refer to you as a “sweet” or “cute” little old lady. So I have decided to take advantage of my “cute,” “little,” and “frail” status and do a little bitc…er…complaining that I have wanted to do for a long time.

telling me how much they think I should donate: __$50 __$100___$500 (check one). Those go straight to the wastebasket. The rest will get a $5 check if they enclosed a return envelope.

You are a beautiful little Facebook baby, and I hate to tell you that the sign you are holding means nothing. Your Daddy set you up so he could show everyone just how beautiful you are. He isn’t really planning to stop smoking if you get 1,000 likes.

Sometimes people write something nice on Facebook, and then add, “I bet I won’t get one Share.” Your odds are good if you say that.

My transition from busy, working, Bingo playing woman, to sweet, cute, little old lady has been difficult as I have never been sweet, cute, little or old before, so I had to realize some things. One of those is that the handsome young man who opened the door for me today and called me Dear was reacting to my walker, not trying to get my phone number. I have to work on this one. I still like the smile of handsome young men.

Other than that…sweet, cute, little are sort of fun. Old…not so much.

BOB ON BINGO

By Bob Whittmore

A Tasty Note From the Mailbag As you know, I love reading mail sent in to bobonbingo@earthlink.net. The most recent e-mail comes from J. Skidmore in Arlington, VA. Skidmore writes to say: “Bob, I read about your heart attack in last month’s column and am glad you are recuperating. One of the things you mentioned was, that in order to stay healthy, people need to have a better diet.

This reminded me of some of the great food that I’ve had while playing Bingo. Some of the best ‘fast food’ I have ever had has been while playing our favorite game.

“I saw one of the neatest food counters at a Bingo hall while visiting friends in Ohio. They suggested that we play Bingo in a nearby town. It was a charity affair with the profits going to an area fund for scholarships for needy students. The hall didn’t look like much from the outside, but inside was another story.

“When we entered, I found a large Bingo hall that was decorated from floor to ceiling with photos of people who played there regularly. There must have been a dozen volunteers handling the

games. All were neatly dressed. All were wearing bright t-shirts that had the name of the Bingo hall.

“But, the main thing I remember was the food. I don’t think I have ever seen so many homemade pies and cakes and sandwiches in one place in my life … except at the county fair. The nice thing, I found out, was that all of the food was donated as part of the ongoing charity drive. And, to make things even better, all of the food was extremely affordable.

I don’t think there is any better food than the homemade kind.

“Additionally, I won the cover-all at the end of the session and walked away with a full stomach and a full wallet. So, Bob, my evening at Bingo in Ohio might not have been authorized by your heart doctor, but it was certainly a night to r e m e m b e r.

Keep up the good work.”

Thanks for the e-mail. I could almost taste the pies and cakes.

Well, you are right, what you enjoyed that night might now be OFF my diet, but it’s a great example of the kind of fellowship you see at small-town Bingo. Now, don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against Bingo at the big halls, such as here in Las Vegas, where I now live. But, I have always said, if you really want to have fun while playing the game we all love the best, seek out the small halls in the small towns and have BIG fun.

Next time: Understanding the rules of Bingo.

I don’t think I have ever seen so many homemade pies and cakes and sandwiches in one place in my life …

Share and (Maybe Not) Share Alike Hi Readers, Recently, I published a letter from a man who was upset because his cousin won a large jackpot and welched on their agreement to split the winnings. That letter triggered quite a reaction from other readers. A few examples follow. —Guy Hi Guy, It was interesting reading the letter in your column from the person who had an agreement with his/her relative to share their Bingo winnings, only to have the relative cheat them out of their share when the cousin hit a big prize.

I once had a similar arrangement with a friend because, just like these cousins, we decided it would double our chances of going home with prize money. The arrangement lasted for exactly one game: He won $40, we split the prize, and he sat there looking miserable because he clearly didn’t want to share it.

At the end of the session I told

him that it was obvious he didn’t like our pot-split deal and that perhaps it was better if we didn’t do it. I then gave him the $20 back. He immediately brightened up and everything went back to normal. At least for a while…until the second session, when I won $200. He almost swallowed his tongue.

I wish I could say I was a sport about it, but I wasn’t. I laughed right in his face and kept every penny for myself.

Jake, Illinois Hi Guy, You ran a letter in your column from somebody who was upset with her cousin because the cousin broke their agreement as Bingo buddies to split their winnings.

I must give the woman credit for keeping her cool. If I had a deal like that and the person opted out right after a big win the way the cousin did, I think I would have reached across the table and snatched the nose right off her face!

It’s not like this was just a friend…this was a relative, a cousin, and therefore someone quite close. But just like that, for some lousy dollars, she cheated her cousin out of her share and tried to make it seem like no big deal and something she had decided to do well before she won the big jackpot.

So why didn’t she say at the start of the night that the agreement to split their pots was over instead of waiting until she got a Bingo?

Because she’s a liar, that’s why. A liar and a cheat.

If this had been me, I don’t think I’d ever speak to her again.

BINGO BUGLE PAGE 9

And this would not be because of the money. It would be because she put money ahead of our relationship. S-A-D. Laurence C., via email Hi Guy, There is a lesson here: Think long and hard before you agree with a Bingo buddy to split your winnings.

Chances are, one of you is going to win more than the other, and there is a big risk that whoever is the bigger winner is going to feel like he or she got ripped off in the deal.

I’ve been on a number of group Vegas trips and have been invited several times to “pool” my winnings with others in the group. I have said “no” every time.

On one of these trips I didn’t win a thing and would have gotten about $150 if I’d joined a pool.

But two other times I came close to or won over $1,000 and was quite happy I didn’t have to share a dime of it.

Agreeing to split your winnings is a nice thought, but you better be very big hearted if you decide to do it because the odds are 5050 that you’ll give up more than you’ll get.

On June 12, 1970, Ellis took LSD, thinking it was an off day for his team. By the time he realized that the Pirates were scheduled to play the San Diego Padres that evening, it was too late. The drug proved to have no ill effect on Ellis; in fact, he pitched a no-hitter. When he recounted the event to a reporter 12 years later, he said he remembered only bits and pieces of the game, though he felt euphoric. Many years later, after being treated for addiction, Ellis became a coordinator for an anti-drug program in California.

Losing Sucks No matter how good a blackjack player you think you are, you will eventually experience a losing session. How you manage yourself when this happens is just as important as knowing when to double down and split.

Sometimes players lose their money because of their lack of self-control caused by the exciting atmosphere in a casino. I wrote about this in my book, The Ten Best Casino Bets. Here’s what I had to say about this.

When you enter a casino, you are entering a place of business.

Moreover, like all successful businesses, the casinos are run by shrewd businesspeople whose job is first, to keep you playing and happy, and second, to separate you from your money as quickly and painlessly as possibly. To meet these objectives, they create an atmosphere in the casino that can be described as a “Disneyland for adults.” No clocks to let you know it’s time to leave this utopia, no windows to let you see out to the real world, free drinks at the tables, free lounge shows, and, of course, pleasant employees to keep you happy and playing.

And what happens to the gambler when they enter this casino-designed excitement? For most, the rewards of winning all of the casino’s money far outweigh the risks of losing their meager bankroll. Moreover, this exciting atmosphere makes it easy for the average player to feel lucky and go broke at the chance of winning the jackpot.

First, and foremost, in order to be a winner, you must learn to control your emotions in the casino. As casino gambling author Lyle Stuart succinctly put it, “The real struggle when you are playing is, in most cases, not between you and the casino, but between

WISCONSIN EDITION

MAY 2019 you and yourself.” You will find plenty of temptations to keep you playing and losing; therefore, you must develop a sense of timing or awareness (i.e. discipline) of when to play, and more importantly, when to quit.

Here are some specific tips that you can use to avoid the casino’s psychological traps that doom players into losing: • If you are tired from a long drive or flight, now is not the best time to hit the tables. Play only when you are rested and alert.

• Watch the alcohol consumption when you play. From the casino’s perspective, there’s a reason why they offer players free alcoholic drinks (if you don’t know the reason, I’d strongly recommend you stay away from the blackjack tables).

• If you get ahead, don’t be caught in the trap of thinking that you are betting with the “casino’s money.” Once the chips go from the casino’s chip tray to your side of the table, that’s now your money and not the casino’s.

• Keep track of time and set reasonable win goals. Unless you are a card counter, the odds are stacked against you so be content with a modest win. If you manage to get ahead by, say, 30% or more of your starting bankroll, pocket half of your profit plus what you started with, and play with the rest. This way, even if you lose “the rest,” you’ll still be able to go home with a profit.

• Set a stop loss…and discipline yourself to stop playing if you reach it. You have nothing to be ashamed of if you have a losing session. The casinos will always be open for you to try your luck again, hopefully, with better results.

There’s a reason that you bet chips and not cash in a casino. If you were to put down a couple of ten- or twenty-dollar bills on the felt as a bet, you might think twice about doing it. However, once your cash is converted to chips, players often lose sight of the fact that those chips represent hard-earned money. Betting chips rather than cash makes it easy for players to over bet their bankroll, resulting in a quick and painful losing session.

The odds of winning the next hand don’t change just because you lost the previous hands. If you run into a buzz-saw dealer, who consistently draws to 20 and 21 and beats the table, quit, and take a break. Relax, catch your breath, and try your luck at another table.

What's News in Nevada . . .

ACT GETS AN UPGRADE Multi-talented funny man Terry Fator has done a redo of his famous ventriloquist/impressionist act.

Fator made the change as he kicked off his tenth year at the Mirage in Las Vegas. He also just signed a new $100-million contract. The new show’s rundown includes impersonations of dozens of characters. He has added his takes on Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Sammy Davis, Jr., Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin.

STRIP COULD GET TRAMWAY A local Las Vegas publication, the Review-Journal, recently printed a large study that focused on the future of the Las Vegas area. One major section dealt with mass transit. It noted, in part, that more than 42-million tourists come to Las Vegas every year. Several plans are on the table to deal with the crowds. Some of these include a possible Europeanstyle tramway that would run up and down The Strip. Additionally, some are looking at a light-rail line on Maryland Parkway and self-driving “mini-buses” in the Medical District.

MAJOR VEGAS STARBUCKS SHUTS DOORS There are reports that the Starbucks in the Grand Bazaar Shops at Bally’s has closed. It was promoted as a Super Starbucks when it opened in 2015. The

coffee emporium featured a stadium-style grandstand looking onto an oversized projection screen. It’s a second prominent closing for the shops, following the 4300-square-foot Redneck Riviera bar a year ago.

KIMMEL BRINGS SHOW TO VEGAS Talk host Jimmy Kimmel, a native of Las Vegas, tells media that he will produce five episodes of his late-night ABC talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, in Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood. Contrary to the show’s name, the broadcasts will not be aired live. They will be taped the same afternoon of the broadcast starting at 4:30 p.m.

MAY 2019

Phew! Onion Breath Life is an onion. You peel it year by year and sometimes you cry. — Carl Sandburg I’m a southern Ohio gal who was weaned on coffee alongside mustard, gravy, and onion on biscuit sandwiches. I still love them to this day, as do both my siblings. We have onions at every meal including breakfast, much to the disgust of my nextdoor neighbor, Margaret. She hates everything about onions; the smell, the look, the slimy taste in her mouth, or so she says. And don’t even mention meatloaf to her, which she says is full of onions and thus, disgusting. I laughingly threaten to hide an onion in her house and see if she can find it.

We’re good friends, so I know she would forgive me and we’d have a good laugh. Maybe, but more than likely after she finds the onion, she’d throw it at me. Anyway, I’m raving on about this because May is National Sweet Vidalia Onions Month. This type of sweet onion is the state vegetable of Georgia and by law can only be grown in twenty Georgia counties. They were discovered 75 years ago by surprise when a Georgia farmer found his onions were not hot, probably because of sandy soil and a mild growing climate. They contain half the sulfides of other onions and that’s the stuff that causes tears and indigestion. You can get the onion smell off your

fingers by rubbing your fingers over a steel knife blade. Be careful though not to cut your fingers off!

As for onion breath, I can’t help you with that; just hope your kissing partner likes onions as much as you do. Fortunately, mine does.

So, what else should you know about May? For starters, don’t buy any brooms. It’s very unlucky to do so. Now, I can’t remember the last time I bought a broom, although my husband would say I occasionally need one to ride when I’m acting like a witch. To buy a broom in May is to sweep a family member away goes one old superstition. The same goes for blankets or as it’s written, wash a blanket today, wash a dear one away. Well, that’s depressing, along with the superstition that cats born in May instead of catching rodents will bring home snakes.

Yikes. I love cats, not so much snakes. My husband loathes them.

One time I was going to prank him on April Fool’s Day and put a rubber snake in the car under his gas pedal. I decided not to when I visualized him stomping on the gas by accident and driving right through our garage. He would not have laughed. Lastly, in May, don’t forget May 4th, Kentucky Derby Day; Mother’s Day, May 12th; Memorial Day, May 27th. On Derby Day, wear an outrageous hat to bingo. On Mother’s Day be nice to your mother, stepmother, or any other lady who loves you unconditionally by escorting her to bingo and buying her dinner. Do the same for a veteran on Memorial Day, which honors those who lost their lives in military service. Until next month, may Lady Luck blow you kisses as you dance out the door with dollars. Win big. Email me at nlpvzw6172@gmail.com to share your thoughts. And if you sit next to me at bingo and notice my strong onion breath, I’m sorry.

What can I say? I love onions
