Best Of – Free Things To Do In Tunica

enews, entertainment / By

Everybody is watching their spending these days. Some have decided that the first they should cut back on is fun. The truth is fun can be costly at times, but it doesn’t always have to break the bank. I happen to love being able too show just how much fun I can have on the least amount of money, so recently I took it upon myself to try to spend an entire afternoon in Tunica on a budget of, well, ZERO dollars! Crazy sounding, right? Well I will have everyone know that It was probably the most fun I have had in a while and I left about as rich as I came.

Stopovers include the future Bass Landing Park, DeSoto County’s only Mississippi River access.

Setting Your Hand in Pai-Gow Poker

gaming-and-casinos / By

An e-mail brought me a tale of woe from a pai-gow poker novice:

“My friend told me to make my bottom hand as strong as I can,” the player’s lament began. “But when I put a pair of Kings in the bottom hand and a pair of 9s in the top, I was told I arranged them wrong, and the dealer took my money.”

In pai-gow poker, you’re dealt seven cards, which you arrange into a five-card “high” hand and a two-card “second-high” hand. Both must beat the dealer for you to win your bet, but you get your money back if one wins. The deck consists of 53 cards, with the standard 52 joined by a Joker that can be used either as an Ace or to compete a flush or straight.

No player in the history of the game has done more to raise the profile of poker than World Series of Poker champ Chris Moneymaker. He calls Memphis home, but this jet-setting professional poker player visits some of the world’s most exotic locales—Monte Carlo, Macau, Australia—to play the game he loves. Chris took time away from the tables to talk to Down the Road about how he got his start, the famous Hollywood stars he’s played (and taken money from) and what he finds special about Tunica.
