Mary is an old slot-playing friend, one who’s a lot of fun to be around. She never met a good luck charm she didn’t like, and when she heard about my brother Jay’s jackpot dance, she devised one of her own. Hers is better.

Looking for a family friendly activity to celebrate the first weekend of Fall? Head on down to Sam’s Town Tunica for the 12th Annual Delta River Cruisin’ Car Show hosted by the Memphis Street Rods.

Make Sure You Know How to Play Your Cards with Players Cards in Tunica
As someone who often travels to Tunica to enjoy all the gaming, food and entertainment it has to offer, I know a little bit about how all those things can add up. So, sometimes it is nice to get a little something back for my faithful patronage. Each Tunica casino offers it own Player’s Cards and rewards programs offering loyal gamers tons of free perks. The more you play, the more points you earn. Free stays, free food and more? Where do I sign up? Well I’d be happy to tell you! Check out my list below with details on the perks and rewards for Player’s Card programs at each of the Tunica casinos.
Double Up Feature
Optional features come and go in video poker, just as they do in many casino games. One that’s been with us for a couple of decades is the Double Up option on video poker games from International Game Technology.
Cornhole: Sport of Champions
The 2011 Smoking Aces Festival & BBQ Championship is taking place this weekend, September 16-17, hosted by Harrah’s Casino. The festival, which we talked about before and which benefits Porter-Leath, is billed as a celebration of some of the most important things in any man’s life: meats, motors, matches, music, malts and margaritas. Taken individually, any of those elements would make for a good weekend, but combine them and you are talking about one heck of a party. The Smoking Aces Festival will be a good time benefitting a good cause, but it’s not a fall weekend without a little healthy competition. We aren’t talking football here, we’re talking cornhole – the “matches” on the list of important m-words showcased by this event.
No Five-Card Draw in Poker Rooms?
My e-mail in August brought a question from a poker player who wishes he could play his favorite game when he goes to casino card rooms.
“I know Hold’em has been all the rage for years now,” he wrote. “I enjoy playing some. But the game I grew up with was five-card draw. I used to play with my parents and brother and sisters, not for money, just for fun. I played a lot of it in the college dorm, too. But I can’t find it in casinos. Why not?”
Airboat Ride of Your Life
For adventure seekers, zooming down the Mighty Mississippi River on an airboat might seem like a no-brainer, but for those of us who prefer our thrill seeking to involve solid ground, riding an airboat might seem a bit daunting. I, without question, typically prefer dry land, but on this one particular morning I let my friends talk me into taking an airboat tour of the Mississippi River.
Different Games, Different Bankrolls
There are no guarantees in gambling, so when a player named George asked me how much money he should bring to play for a while without fear of an early exit, I had to put all kinds of conditions on it.
