PLAY TO WIN Expected Return is high for Joker Wild games Joker Wild (also called Joker Poker) is a unique video poker game because it is played with a 53-card virtual deck of cards that includes one joker. The latter is wild, meaning the joker can substitute for other cards to make a winning hand. There are several variations of Joker Wild, but in this article I ll focus on Joker Wild Kings or Better. Unlike non-wild cards games (like Jacks or Better) where the lowest paying poker hand is a pair of jacks, with Joker Wild Kings or Better, it s a pair of kings or aces. (The reason you need the higher poker hand is because of the addition of a wild card.) The first thing you need to focus on to play Kings or Better smartly is the pay table because there are several of them (some very good, others not so good). The table below summarizes high-return pay tables for Kings or Better. Some will pay 4,700 coins for a royal flush with five-coins wagered, while others 4,000 coins. Winning Ways By Dr. Henry Tamburin The original reason for the 4,700 coin payout was to avoid receiving a W-2G tax form from the casino when you hit a royal flush at quarter denomination. This is because a 4,700 coin payout is $1,175, which is below the $1,200 threshold that triggers the tax form, making the game attractive to players who prefer hitting a jackpot without getting a W-2G. The second column in the table summarizes the best (or full pay) Kings or Better game (known as 4,700-20/7/5 because it pays 20 coins for a 4-of-a-kind, 7 coins for a full house, 5 coins for a flush, and 4,700 coin payout for a royal flush with five coins wagered. The Expected Return for this game when you play every hand perfectly is 101.00 percent, meaning you would enjoy a 1 percent edge over the casino at this game. You ll also find 4,700-18/7/5 and 4,700-17/7/5 versions of See See Tamburin, Page page 2911 Kings or Better Joker Wild Pay Tables (Per coin pay out, assuming max coins wagered) *4,700 coin payout for the royal flush with five coins wagered. **4,000 coin payout for the royal flush with five coins wagered. Player wonders whose hand is it anyway? From Bob: Love your columns. Here s one for you. My wife was playing $10 Three Card Poker. The table was full. The woman to the right of my wife went to the bathroom and her husband saved her seat. The very next hand, the player on my wife s left got a royal flush. All at the table concluded that the royal would have been my wife s had the player not left for the bathroom. I told her that I wasn t 100 percent sure, but I thought the shuffling machine continued to shuffle the cards until dealt and, if that was the case, since there was some amount of time (even a second) spent by the dealer recognizing that the vacant chair was being saved, the outcome of the deal would have been different. What say you? Frank Responds: If it was a continuous shuffle machine, you are right. Just like a slot machine, the cards are being shuffled continuously and randomly and what comes up is not preordained. Chances are your wife would not have gotten the royal. From Vincent: Please help me think this through via your experience and math skills. I think I have found a better way to utilize the Pass Line bet at craps. In craps, the traditional advice is to bet as little as possible on the Pass Line and then take the Odds bet as high as possible once the point is established. I have wondered if the logic I use below should be given some consideration by gambling writers such as you. It might be a new way to look at the Pass Line bet. Traditional logic says to place $5 on Frankly Speaking the Pass Line and $25 as an By Frank Scoblete Odds bet in a 5X Odds game. But now how about this untraditional logic? Place the whole $30 on the Pass Line to take advantage on the very favorable odds of the Come-Out roll being the 7 or 11 you have a two-toone edge on that Come-Out roll because you make the 7 and 11 eight times but only lose on the 2, 3 and 12 four times. Thus, you have an immediate $30 win versus a mere $5 win and you avoid the easy-to-roll losing 7 as you try to make that point. What is your analysis? Frank Responds: Your idea sounds good. Your idea sounds logical. Your idea will cost you six times more money than playing the traditional way. Sometimes the problem with logic is that it is actually wrong. Keep in mind that the Pass Line bet comes in with a 1.41 percent house edge, which means for every $100 you bet on the Pass Line you will lose $1.41. As you know that s one of the best bets in the casino. Also keep in mind that edge covers both the Come-Out roll and the point aspect of the game. On a $5 Pass Line bet your expectation is to lose a mere seven cents. Pretty good if you ask me. Okay, let s do a flip now and look at other craps bets and see where they actually stand. Watch what happens when you put $30 up on the Pass Line. You can expect to win those eight bets when the 7 and 11 show and you will lose those four bets on the 2, See Scoblete, page Page 11 29 10 JACKPOT! MAGAZINE October 15 - October 28, 2015 THE SOUTH S LARGEST GUIDE TO GAMING & FUN www.jackpotmagazine.com

Tamburin, from Page 812 10 Kings or Better that have a lower ER of 99.29 percent and 98.44 percent, respectively. Smart players will play Kings or Better with the highest ER. The second version of Kings or Better (fourth column in table) pays 4,000 coins for a max coin royal flush with a 20/7/5 pay table and it offers a respectable 100.65 precent ER for perfect play. You ll most likely find lower pay tables in casinos for this game, such as 18/7/5 and 17/7/5, with corresponding lower ERs (98.94 percent and 98.09 percent, respectively). I recommend that you play in casinos that offer the better 20/7/5 pay table. You can check if your favorite casino offers Joker Wild Kings or Better by checking the database on www.vpfree2.com. There are also commercially available strategy cards for this game. Check my web store for details. Henry Tamburin is a blackjack and video poker expert. He is the host of the smartgaming.com website and the editor of the Blackjack Insider newsletter (for a free three-month subscription, visit www. bjinsider.com/freetrial). For a free copy of his Casino Gambling Catalog, which contains books, strategy cards, and software for casino players, call (888) 353-3234 or visit the web store at smartgaming.com. Scoblete, from Page 810 3 and 12 just as you stated. But (and this is the BIG but) when that $30 makes its way to a number, which it will 24 times, the house edge becomes immense. It basically obliterates that two-to-one edge on the Come-Out roll. Now, your $30 will lose that 1.41 percent and your expected loss will be 42 cents, which is much more than the loss of seven cents from the $5 Pass Line bet. So $5 with $25 odds is unquestionably the preferred bet. Yes, the Pass Line bet is a good bet but it can be made a far better bet if you follow the traditional model. Odds takes the bet into an even better realm if you can afford taking as much as possible. So low on the Pass and Come, with max odds on them or at least the max that you can afford. Players who enjoy Place bets, even if the bets they place are the best Place bets of the 6 and the 8, also have their logic seemingly right yet such logic still costs them much more money. If you use the $5 Pass Line bet, the house edge as stated is 1.41 percent, a loss of seven cents. The Place bet of the 6 or 8 comes in with a house edge of 1.52 percent, which is pretty close to the 1.41 percent of the Pass Line bet. But in fact the Place bet is much worse because you must Place the 6 or 8 for $6. The expected loss now becomes nine cents. So even though the placing of the 6 and 8 are considered good bets and they are they are nowhere near as good as the Pass Line bet. (Also remember that Come bets have the same edge as the Pass Line bet.) Obviously the other Place bets are skunks. On the 5 and 9 your expected loss on $5 is 20 cents. On the 4 and 10 it is a blood letting. You lose 33 cents on $5. You can see by this comparison how awful placing those outside numbers can be. Yet craps players make these bets all the time. There is a solid reason why savvy gambling writers strongly recommend Pass Line and Come bets. Your expectation is to lose much less money and that means at any given session your chances of coming out ahead are markedly improved.

HEARD IT ON THE RIVER by Rudi Schiffer The naysayers can say what they want, but when it comes to aggressively supporting local charities and organizations, the industry shows the way in the Mid-South. Southland Park gets a lot of traffic from Memphisk so it is not unusual for the property to cross the river and get behind the MEMPHIS FOOD BANK with a creative promotion called CANS OF CARE. The goal is to raise 100,000 cans of food with a nice reward for donors. Player Rewards cardholders will receive a dollar in free play for every two cans they donate with no limit on items that are not dented or have an expired usage date. The drive expires Nov. 7. Dig deep into your cupboards to help the Food Bank. Also coming on Oct. 17 is the GREAT STEAK COOKOFF at Southland. The LITTLE RIVER BAND from Australia will entertain while teams from regional states will cook steaks to try and win a bite of $7,500 in prize money. The event grows in popularity each year and tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com or at Guest Services at Southland. In my last column, I wrote about BEAU RIVAGE casino in Biloxi winning MGM s company-wide award for having the best service among 23 properties. I got a chance to experience that service when I visited this beautiful casino recently and report the award was well deserved. As I sat in the forest of slot machines seeking happiness, I watched what was going on around me... like the frequent appearance of servers, several slot techs and observant floor people, and several ATM machines in the vicinity, not buried away in a corner. At a nearby casino, I hit a hand-pay jackpot and had to go hunting for one of the slot attendants, who were hard-to-find. It s all about top service, folks. Fridays are good days to be in Hollywood Casino during October. Every Friday, you can win $700 in free slot play by being in a Hot Seat when you are burned at any slot machine when using your Marquee Rewards card. The ante increases in the $25K TURN THE TABLES drawings. These give you a chance at $5,000 in FREEBETS. But the big payoff happens every hour in the BIG $100,000 DRAW that has winnings of up to $100,000 in CASH every hour from 6 to 11 p.m. Just earn 150 points from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for your lucky Big Draw number. See The Roots & Boots Tour at FITZ CASINO & HOTEL with SAMMY KERSHAW, DARRYL WORLEY and AARON TIPPIN, this Saturday, Oct. 17, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $45 reserved seating and $35 general admission.

Battle of Bras at Horseshoe Tunica Thursday, Oct. 29 MISSISSIPPI Casinos are going pink in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Expect to see pink this month on employees, on guests and even on blackjack tables. It s all about increasing awareness of breast cancer and the need to find a cure. Caesars Entertainment hosts the Fourth Annual Battle of the Bras to benefit the American Cancer Society at Horseshoe Tunica on Thursday, Oct. 29. Caesars Mid- South male executives, along with Memphis-area male celebrities and executives, will model bras decorated by employees from Horseshoe Tunica, Tunica Roadhouse, and other Memphisarea businesses at the Horseshoe Tunica show. The show is part of an effort to raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society. The event costs $10 and tickets may be purchased on Ticketmaster.com with proceeds from the event benefitting the American Cancer Society. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with heavy hors d oeuvres provided by Horseshoe Tunica.

Scott Barber, regional president, Caesars Mid-South. Caesars sponsors the American Cancer Society locally and nationally, and we are excited to add the annual Battle and the Bras to the many other volunteer and fundraising events we participate in around the Mid-South. Teams of five or more of Caesars Mid-South employees as well as teams from other local businesses will decorate the bras in a way that tells a story related to breast cancer. Employees and the general public will then vote on the bras for cash donations. The bras will be on display for voting and donation collection at Tunica Roadhouse Bellman Entrance from Oct. 15-21, and at Horseshoe Tunica Hotel Horseshoe Tunica is awash in pink lights. Lobby Oct. 22-28. Male casino executives and local celebrities will model the top 10 bras that receive the most cash donations.

The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. and consist of a cash bar and heavy hors d oeuvres sponsored by Horseshoe Tunica; a parade of breast cancer survivors employed by Caesars Mid-South; a live auction and finally, the bra modeling and voting for the main event. Caesars and their employee volunteer HEROs have been an incredible resource for the American Cancer Society, said Clint Cummins, American Cancer Society Memphis.

By Paul Wade HOROSCOPE Good time to make impression and negotiate, Libra Editor s Note: Horoscopes are meant for entertainment purposes only and are for the time period October 15 - October 28, 2015. Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22) During this period you are in a more public position than has lately been the case. The planets prove a source of support if you need to make a good impression, negotiate or discuss important matters with those whose opinion makes all the difference. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You re famous for your strong will and sense of purpose, or notorious for your obstinacy depending on prevailing opinion. Yet curiously, your attitude towards money and material security is changeable. To be in control of the material sphere proves one of your primary objectives. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Saturn back in your sign for two-plus years and can t be disregarded. You have free will, but ignoring the need to streamline your schedule brings with it all the uncomfortable side effects linked to Saturn. Economy, diligence, perseverance and an extended perspective are all favoured by a planet. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have a fixed and set agenda. This applies longer term and also on an everyday basis. But sometimes even you will come to question the true purpose of whatever is on your list. And that might not be such a bad thing either, because eventually everyone must adapt to changing circumstances. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) It would be simplest just to throw in your lot with others. From a financial point of view this is the safest and most lucrative option. Alternative courses have already proven difficult to pursue. Keep in mind that giving from your surplus and not from your substance is the right thing to do. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 19) Neptune remains in your sign for a long time to come. This means a period of occasional confusion, although what you lose in terms of clarity, you ll make up for with an intuitive insight into other people and their affairs. This planet also makes you extremely idealistic. Aries (March 20-April 19) You ll be kept on your toes by numerous duties and obligations. If you re employed, your timetable threatens to overwhelm you, while those responsibilities for which you don t get paid, seem demanding and onerous. Take care of yourself. Taurus (April 20-May 20) You ve been inspired to make decisions subtly and emotionally. The full moon in your sign on Oct. 27 helps you judge how successfully these have turned out. Take stock and make adjustments. Gemini (May 21-June 20) The focus is on your home and family affairs. Where you re living, where you d ideally reside and how well your current situation matches with these expectations, are all matters to consider. Largely, you can be assured that after a period of instability, the prospects are rewarding and positive. Cancer (June 21-July 22) This period sees you embrace a more optimistic viewpoint than you have in a while. It is during this time also that you will learn a great deal about the world; possibly in what would generally be thought of as an educational environment, but more frequently when it comes to your everyday encounters and circumstances that you would not normally expect. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) The burgeoning energy of the past year slowly subsides, leaving you with more tangible resources but with less clear sense, of cutting a fresh furrow and blazing a distinctive trail. Practicality is still your middle name. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) Mars conjoins Jupiter, highlighting a period of good fortune for all your relationships, especially when you can seize the initiative. Though usually you ll take a back seat and are not keen to push yourself forward, there are times a proactive stance is the one to pick.
