Stories from the Real World & Cyberspace
Special to the Bingo Bugle
By Jeffrey Charboneau
This month: Standard Grill hosts not so standard Bingo
Manhattan Bingo
Sunday night is Bingo night at the Standard Grill in Manhattan’s Standard High
Line Hotel, which, as the hashtag #notyourstandardbingo suggests, is nothing like the
scene in church halls and fraternal lodges.
The New York Post reports that the Grill
has made the game of chance an excuse for
an all-out party, and an appealing option
for young professionals looking to enhance
their evening out. The Standard isn’t alone.
New York City’s West Village restaurant
Tortilla Flats has held Bingo nights for 30
years, giving winners shots of tequila and
T-shirts. There are Bingo nights at Pete’s
Candy Store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
and at the Royal Palm’s Shuffleboard Club
in Gowanus, Brooklyn, where drag queen
Linda Simpson plays host—when she isn’t
overseeing Le Bingo at Le Poisson Rouge.
And rest assured Bingo really does happen,
but includes music, dance breaks, danceoffs, celebrity visits, and lots of alcohol.

State Fair T-Shirts
MinnPost.com says that people-watching is one of the best parts of the Minnesota State Fair, and that one of the specific
things—which makes watching them so
much fun is their T-shirts. To that end, the
site posted a State Fair fashion photo essay,
noting that T-shirts at the State Fair were
“an interesting referendum on the public’s
tastes, interests and general attitudes about
life in Minnesota.” As a follow-up to the
essay, the MinnPost created four online
Bingo cards to reflect the year’s T-shirt
trends at the fair. Examples included Star
Wars Humor, Matching His & Hers, Beer
Label Parody, and Family Reunion (Pre2010). Players were asked to make a note
of what each specific T-shirt said and email
a photo of their winning cards to MinnPost.
Computerized Bingo
Ars Technica has reported that the days
of “do it on a computer” patents may
finally be numbered—at least if a defendant is willing to last through an appeal.
An opinion published by the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld
a lower court’s decision to invalidate two
patents claiming to cover computerized
Bingo. “Generally, the claims recite storing a player’s preferred sets of Bingo
numbers; retrieving one such set upon
demand, and playing that set; while simultaneously tracking the player’s sets,
tracking player payments, and verifying
winning numbers,” explained the threejudge panel. “Variants between the claims
include display capabilities and options
to purchase sets of Bingo numbers.” The
case originated with a dispute between two
competitors, Planet Bingo and Video King,
both of which provide electronic Bingo
services to casinos and other clients. Planet
Bingo sued Video King over the patents,
which the court found to be too abstract because Bingo management “consists solely
of mental steps which can be carried out by
a human using pen and paper.”

Thanks for what didn’t happen
I have been thinking about all my
blessings in 2014 and I came up with a
little different slant this year. It is time
for me to graciously accept the favors

not happen this year. For example in a
year of floods, tornadoes, sink holes,

resembling any of these events came
near our little spot on this earth.
No burglar came around and my
$4.96 is secure in its little hiding place.
The neighbors say no self-respecting
burglar would bother to rob a house
where the owner mows the grass only
once a month.
I didn’t walk off any decks or break
any bones this year. I didn’t even have
a slight cold, no surgeries and I am
not pregnant. No drones flew over my
house and I felt fairly safe going about
my everyday affairs.
I am thankful that I didn’t try out for
Miss America again this year. Whatever happened to those beautiful white
swimsuits we used to wear in the competitions? It’s cold in Atlantic City at
this time of year.
There were no lottery or Bingo winnings this year that I will have to lie to
the IRS about. I didn’t fall back into the
tobacco habit.
So, as I count my blessings and enjoy
my life, I ask our Father God to send
peace, joy, and every blessing to all
of our brothers and sisters around the
world. For this I pray.

Is Bingo a
Four-Letter Word?
There is a phrase in our language that
usually denotes a word that is nasty or evil.
That term is “four-letter word.”
Well, when it comes to playing Bingo,
I am sure we have all either heard or uttered some choice four-letter words over
the years. But, this time around, I’d like to
talk about a special four-letter word that is
certainly connected to Bingo.

can use the same card for every game and
play a different game. It is not only the
numbers on the card and the arrangement
of the numbers, it’s the numbers called and
the order in which they are called.
Because of these layers of randomness,
Bingo is about the purest, most-random
game you can play. And, anyone who
claims the “cards are stacked against them”
in Bingo hasn’t done his or her research.
That brings me back to that four-letter
word, “luck.” It’s that simple. No magic
potions, no special “system” for playing
Bingo. It’s luck. I know that is hard to take
for a lot of people. But, it’s that simple.
Now, of course, there are some ways to
slightly improve the odds. The most obvious is to buy additional cards. But, trust
me, in some odd way, the more cards you
have the more BAD cards you have. It
works both ways, you know.
When I play Bingo each Monday night,
I play at a venue where everyone gets one
card. Even so, I don’t recommend this. First
of all, many Bingo halls would go broke if
we all bought and used just ONE card.

Lucky Lotto News
By Jeffrey Charboneau
Compiled from internet news sources
Lost Lotto
A Long Island auto body shop owner
found out that he has been driving around
with nearly $3 million in his truck for
weeks. Jerry Ritieni bought $20 worth
of lottery tickets, but instead of putting
them in his pocket as he normally does,
he shoved them into the center console
and forgot all about them. A month later,
he was fishing around in his truck to find
a set of keys and found the Lotto tickets.
He brought them into his office at Extreme
Auto Body Repairs in Massapequa, New
York and looked up the numbers online.
“I was going through my numbers one by
one, circling each number that matched
up,” Ritieni told The New York Post. “It
took a minute for me to comprehend that I
just hit the jackpot. I was like, ‘No way, no
way! Holy s—t!’” Ritieni drove to a lottery
office in Plainview, where workers confirmed he was the winner of $2.9 million—
beating the 1-in-47 million odds. “I was
completely shocked, I still am,” Ritieni
said. “My jaw dropped to the ground.”
Minnesota Multimillionaires
A Minnesota couple who just won an
$11.7 million lottery jackpot say their big
plans to use the money include nothing
“out of the ordinary,” with the wife even
keeping her waitressing job. “I actually
really enjoy my job,” newly minted multimillionaire Rhonda Meath said of her
job waiting tables. “I have great friends
here and a great boss, and it’s just really a
fantastic place to work, so I have no plans
of leaving,” she said. Meath, 51, and her
husband, Joe Meath of Bethel, Minnesota,
took home all of the $11.7 million because
Hot Lotto pays the state and federal taxes,
according to ABC affiliate KSTP-TV in
Minneapolis-St. Paul. The Meaths said
they will splurge on a new car but, other
than that, plan to make some charitable
contributions and keep their lives the same.
“Have to still mow the grass and get mail
and put grandkids on the school bus!”
Rhonda Meath said.
Winnings Beneﬁt Store
A man is $3 million richer after picking
up a winning lottery ticket from an Arcata, California grocery store. Perry Scott
bought the winning scratch off ticket at
Ray’s Food Place in Arcata. Scott declined
a media interview, but the word has spread
quickly about his winnings. The $5 California Lucky Life scratch off ticket gave
Scott has the option to receive $2,500 per
week for the next 25 years, totaling $3.25
million dollars, or receive a lump sum of
$1.9 million. Ray’s food place will also
receive a special prize from the California
Lottery. “The store gets a half a percent
commission and so with an over $3 million ticket our commission will be in the
neighborhood of $16,000,” Robert Parker,
store manager at Ray’s Food Place, told
the local NBC News affiliate. “It’s pretty
exciting. We were kind of wishing one of
us employees would have won but we’re
thankful that it was one of our customers.”

BINGO BUGLE Phoenix November 2014
Bingo Challenge
All in good fun, hopefully
Last Saturday Kate and I were a little late
getting to Bingo and so found our seats in
the very first row in front of the caller. It
turned out to be the “cane table” as three
players with canes were already seated
there and two more joined us straightaway.
We introduced ourselves to the other
players and readied for play. The first three
games were unremarkable, but then the fun
started. One “caner” challenged another’s
Bingo and reached across to grab his
card. It was apparent these elderly people
all knew each other well, but I could not
tell how lighthearted the challenge was.
It seemed very serious at the time, but
soon they were all laughing and clowning
around. The challenged player’s card was
good and we moved on to the next game.
This time when someone at our table won, another “caner” leaped up and
grabbed for his card. The winner was having none of it, however, and snatched his
card out of reach. A floor worker arrived
just in time to prevent a real problem,
though they were certainly verbal.
“You people have to calm down,” said
the floor worker, “or I’ll have to ask you
to leave.”
“Leave!” challenged the noisiest one.
“Why you can’t ask us to leave. The bus
don’t come for another two hours. Besides
you’d be lost without us.”
“Well, just be quieter,” said the floor
worker, beating a hasty retreat.
We went on to the next game, a big H as
well as a little h, when the fussing began
again. Oldsters frequently have trouble
with these double games, so I was preparing to help when Joe leaped up, grabbing
his cane and yelling, “Bingo, by damn. I
got a Bingo!”
Ralph challenged him as predicted and
a big fuss began. Then Joe leaned across
the table putting most of his weight on his
cane. Ralph knocked his cane out from
under him and down he went amid much
moaning and groaning.
They helped him up and he seemed unhurt, but very angry about the insult to his
dignity. “What’d you wanta go and do that
for?” he yelled at Ralph.
“Oh, you were just being too picky,” said
Ralph. “I wanted to calm you down.”
The head floor worker came over. “That’s
your last chance,” she said. “Any more
fussing and you two are both out of here.”
The boys looked chagrined, but with grins
lurking under their meek expressions.
“Yes, Ma’am,” they both said.
Soon we were on to the final game, an
Indian star, one of my personal favorites
and I thought it was about time I won one.
We played a regular Bingo on the way,
which was won by someone far away in the
room. Then Ralph, Joe and I were all on at
the same time and we each began chanting
the number we wanted.
“Come on 63,” said Ralph, “Daddy
needs a new prosthesis. Come on.”
I thought this interesting enough to
almost lose my concentration when Joe
started chanting, “Bring me 45. Bring me
45. I need a new walker.”
But someone in the far part of the room
won and I went away wondering how they
would get along without the new prosthesis
and walker they claimed they needed.

Dear Aunt Bingo,
You were wrong to make the 88-year-old
widow, living on Social Security, feel even
worse about her tip after winning $800.
Since she plays at this Bingo hall a lot, she
has probably spent a lot more than she has
won. The agents probably know her and her
circumstances. Tipping is not an obligation;
in fact she did not have to tip at all. Tipping
has become a form of extortion and should
not be expected. Other countries do not tip
in such large amounts; some countries do
not tip at all.
Tipping is a sore spot with many people.
Since most tips are pooled and divided
among all agents, the customer is contributing to the wealth of some unknown entity
who does not pay the employees enough
because their wages are expected to be paid
partly by tips. —A Texas Player, via email
Dear Aunt Bingo,
I have worked in the Bingo Department
of Las Vegas casinos for most of my adult
life. I don’t have any knowledge about any
other places. Every place that I have worked
the Bingo crew was very grateful for every
tip we received whether big or small.
We realize tipping is optional and anyone
applying pressure on a patron to tip would
not be employed long where I have worked.
The Bingo crews make this look like a fun
job and it can be, but you earn every dollar.
We work most of the day on our feet. We
must be exact in our money transactions
both in and out. We perform our duties in
a high-pressure environment while projecting a fun and happy attitude to our patrons.
This is an entertainment business and in
LV the patrons have many places to choose
from. We get to know and love our regular
customers and help new people to figure out
what to do so they can enjoy their experience. The tips we receive enable us to support our families and maintain our homes.
They certainly don’t make any of us rich.
The bottom line is this…if you feel good
about tipping, please do so and we are grateful. If you don’t care to tip, don’t. We’ll be
glad you came to our place to play, regardless.
Starts at 48 #'s and will increase
by 1 number each week until hit.

Dear Aunt Bingo,
As Bingo players here in Las Vegas for
the last 20 plus years, the following is a
breakdown of Bingo costs and tipping.
Bingo began here in the ’90s with a choice
of $3, $4, $7 and $9 packets. No extras! This
often allowed patrons to play more than one
session per day. Today, Bingo can be costly—with electronic Bingo at an added fee
of $2-$3 depending on the type of electronic
chosen and all the added jackpots, each requiring $l-$2 extra per packet for validation
and the dollar increase of each packet price.
Also, with the increased amount of packets
purchased in the machine and allowed, winning has become more difficult.
As for tipping, here is a typical scenario:
Player spends $30 for the game. Played and
lost five to six previous games played. Then
a $50 win occurs. Breakdown: $50 win
minus $30 cost = $20 net. With that win, if
you give the attendant $1 it’s 5% of the net
win. That’s reality.
The casinos should compensate their attendants with the profits they make from
Bingo. Bingo for us is our entertainment,
and we tip whatever we can and feel is reasonable. —MD, Las Vegas, via email
$1,000 COVERALL JACKPOT

In this month’s column we’re wrapping
up our conversation on tipping at Bingo.
I want to thank all the players and workers who took the time to weigh in on the
subject. It is always gratifying here at the
Bingo Bugle when we are able to generate lively discussion that explores multiple
sides of a gaming issue. I hope you found
these letters engaging and informative. I
certainly did! —Aunt Bingo

Some Final Words on
Tipping
Dear Aunt Bingo,
I am a Bingo agent in Las Vegas and
would like to respond to the $20 tip issue.
First of all, to the person that said we
don’t offer a service to our customers, our
entire job is customer service. We explain
the procedure and our packets, we give
advice on the best buy-in for the customer’s
price range, we sell the packets, we assist
on the floor when people need it, we verify
their Bingos and bring them money, and we
daub players’ cards when they have to go to
the bathroom. I have also worked at places
where we had to clean up their trash, wash
tables and clean ashtrays between sessions.
If that’s not serving the customer, I don’t
know what is.
A Bingo agent starts out at minimum
wage and on-call until a full time position
becomes available. (This could take years!)
Most rooms have three or four on-call
agents which means the bottom agent may
get as few as eight hours a month. We can’t
get another job because we need to be available for Bingo.
The going rate for a Bingo tip is 10%.
(Waitresses are up to 15-20% now.) That
means if you win $50 a good tip would be
$5. We seldom get that; we are lucky to
get 1-3%. If we have a lot of new players,
we often get nothing. Tips are gratuities
and while we rely on them we never expect them and are grateful for any amount
we get. The agent was wrong to make the
winner feel bad about her tip of $20 and
hopefully was reprimanded. Bottom line: If
you received good service its only right to
give a tip. A lot of us in Las Vegas make our
living from tips. Imagine how it would be if
players had to go to the cage to get their own
payouts while the game continued.
An added note: If you are struggling to
make ends meet and a $5 tip is going to
break you, maybe you shouldn’t be gambling in the first place. —Bingo Agent, Las
Vegas, via email

Identity theft
How seniors can protect themselves
Dear Savvy Senior,
What tips and resources can you recommend to help seniors guard against identity
theft? My next door neighbor, who’s 79,
recently had her identity stolen and I want
to make sure it doesn’t happen to me.
Cautious Connie
Dear Connie,
Identity theft continues to be a big problem in the U.S., affecting around nine million people every year—many of who are
seniors. Identity theft occurs when someone gets access to your Social Security
number (SSN), bank or credit card account
number, or other identifying information
and uses it to steal from you. While there’s
no ironclad protection against ID theft,
here are some things you can do to minimize your risks.
Guard your SSN: Treat your SSN like
your most prized possession. Never carry
your Social Security card around in your
wallet or purse, don’t write your SSN
on checks (except those you send to the
IRS), and never give your SSN, credit
card number, checking or savings account
numbers to strangers who call, visit, text,
or send e-mail messages to you even if they
seem legitimate. And, don’t carry around
your Medicare card either unless you’re
going to the doctor. Your Medicare card
contains your SSN.
Be wary of emails: If you use the Internet, don’t trust emails that claim to be
from the Social Security Administration,
the IRS or other government agencies. Also
be leery of emails that look like they’re
from your bank, telephone company or
credit card company. Remember that only
phony e-mails will ask for your credit card
number or SSN. For more Internet fraud
tips including a list of common online
scams see onguardonline.gov.
Secure your mail: Empty your mailbox
quickly, or consider getting a P.O. Box
or buy a locked mailbox to deter thieves.
Also, don’t leave outgoing mail in your
mailbox. To put a stop to prescreened credit
card offers that thieves look to intercept,
use the consumer credit reporting industry
opt-out service at optoutprescreen.com or
call 888-567-8688—they will ask for your
SSN and date of birth.
Destroy your trash: Buy a cross-cut paper shredder and shred all records, receipts,
statements, preapproved credit offers, mail
solicitations or other papers you throw out
that has your financial or personal information.
Monitor your accounts: Review your
monthly bank and credit card statements
carefully, and see if your bank or creditcard issuer offers free alerts that will warn
you of suspicious activity as soon as it’s
detected. If they do, sign up for them.
Watch your credit: Check your credit
report at annualcreditreport.com or call
877-322-8228. You can receive one free
report a year from each of the three major
credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and
TransUnion), so consider staggering your
request so you can get one free copy every
four months.
Set up security freezes: You can help
protect yourself by setting up a security
freeze on your credit reports at all three
credit bureaus—Equifax (equifax.com,
800-685-1111), Experian (experian.com,
888-397-3742) and TransUnion (transunion.com, 877-322-8228). With a freeze in
place, no one, including you, can open new
lines of credit in your name. This typically
costs $5 to $10 per person per credit bureau
each time you freeze or thaw your credit
report. Some states offer free freezes for
ID-theft victims.
Take action: If you ever think your
identity’s been stolen, immediately contact
your creditors and financial institutions to
report unauthorized charges or debts, and
close any compromised accounts. Then
place fraud alerts and security freezes with
the three credit reporting agencies, and file
a report with your local police and with the
Federal Trade Commission at ftccomplaintassistant.gov or 877-438-4338.
Savvy tips: For more tips on preventing identity theft visit idtheftinfo.org and
idtheftcenter.org. You can also hire an
identity theft protection service like ProtectMyID, LifeLock or TrustedID to keep
tabs on your identity for you. These companies typically charge around $10 to $20
per month, but the services they provide
are typically no better than what you can
do yourself by following the previously
listed tips.
Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or
visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author
of The Savvy Senior book.
Bill Cosby
Returning to TV?
Q: We watched Lone Survivor last night
on DVD, and the actor who played the
new guy that they were giving a hard time
looked familiar to me. What else has he
been in? —Amelia D., via email
A: Alexander Ludwig, who played newbie Navy SEAL Shane Patton, is perhaps
best known for playing Cato, the career tribute from District 2 in The Hunger Games.
He’ll also play Bjorn (Ironside) Lothbrok—
Ragnar and Lagertha’s now-grown son—in
the upcoming season of the History channel’s Vikings, which likely will air in spring
2015.
Q: I love Bill Cosby’s comedy. Does he
have plans to return to TV? —Robert M.,
via email
A: NBC announced at the Television Critics Association tour this summer that it was
developing a comedy for Bill Cosby, which
could premiere as early as summer 2015.
The series is described as a “multi-camera,
classic extended-family sitcom,” with Bill
as the patriarch.
Q: Like the rest of the world, I was
shocked and heartbroken to hear about
Robin Williams’ suicide. I know he was
working on some movies before his death.
Will any be released posthumously? —Kelli
F., via email
A: The consummate funnyman with a
heart as big as his funny bone left this world
way too soon, as I’m sure we all can agree.
He did leave behind four movies that have
yet to be released: Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, Merry Friggin’ Christmas,
Boulevard and Absolutely Anything.

12 BINGO BUGLE Phoenix Edition November 2014
Thank a Veteran Day
Bonnie and Jean were enjoying an ice cream break while waitng for the folks to call their number
at the Good Life RV Resort.
Bingo buddies, Felix and Mike, were out for an afternoon of fun playing bingo at Knights of
Columbus 11809.
The willingness with which our young
people are likely to serve in any war,
no matter how justified, shall be directly
proportional to how they perceive the
Veterans of earlier wars were treated and
appreciated by their nation. —George
Washington
My Uncle John was a veteran of WWII;
my cousin Gene served in Vietnam. Although they served decades apart they
had one thing in common. Neither ever
talked of his war time experiences. I never
probed, respecting their right to silence and
respecting them for serving their country
in time of need. Tuesday, November 11,
is National Veterans Day and it honors the
service of all U.S. military veterans; not to
be confused with Memorial Day—which
honors those military who died while
serving their country. Veterans Day, every
November 11th, became a legal holiday
in 1954. If that date happens to be on a
Saturday or Sunday, then organizations
that observe the holiday will normally be
closed on the adjacent Friday or Monday,
respectively.
Our country’s first army was created on
June 14, 1775, to fight the British for our independence during the Revolutionary War.
George Washington was its commander.
The flintlock muskets the colonists used for
shooting at the British weighed ten pounds
each and were five feet long. After the
Revolution ended, disabled veterans were
given a government pension. The other
veterans were disbanded and given land
because of a distrust of a trained standing
army. This didn’t last long however because of continuing conflicts with Native
Americans. A new standing army, the Legion of the United States, was formed but
its name was changed to the United States
Army in 1796 and it remains that today.
Since this is the month when we celebrate
Thanksgiving Day, perhaps we should
take a moment to thank those whose every
day jobs are to protect us and our country.
Remember them in your prayers as well
as those who have previously served and
those who have died striving to keep our
country safe. To show your thanks in a
tangible way, take a veteran or someone
still on active duty to Bingo with you. Pay
for their cards and snacks and when they
say, “Thank you.” Reply, “No, I want to
thank YOU!”
And speaking of Thanksgiving, I would
like to once again thank my Bingo Bugle
family, especially Tara Snowden and Dick
Bajai. Thank you to all the Bingo workers
and managers who are the ones who make
it possible for us to play our favorite game.
Thank you to my wonderful husband,
Robert, for his unconditional support for
close to forty years. Thanks to my cousins
Shirley, Mary, Helen, John, and Marle and
my brothers David and Richard for always
reading what I write; not to forget my good
friends the Popes and the Galls plus, my
number #1 fan Caroline and her husband
Chris. And most of all, thank you, loyal
readers. I am blessed. Until next month,
may Lady Luck blow you kisses as you
dance out the door with dollars. Win big
and always be thankful. Don’t forget, you
can e-mail me at [email protected] to share your thoughts.

14 BINGO BUGLE Phoenix Edition November 2014
Addressing issues
With the right kind of environment
Hi Guy,
In answer to your reader who complained
about the strict Bingo manager, to me it’s
a matter of choosing your battles. If people get too chatty and it’s hard to hear, it’s
good to have a manager who will get things
quieted down. If you have unruly people
bothering everyone, God bless the manager
with the guts to stand up to them and make
them leave.
For other issues, I would befriend one of
the junior volunteers you can talk to who
hopefully will have the boss’s ear and can
bring up issues in a way that he will listen
to. I’m sure the workers have meetings from
time to time when they get their assignments
and any news the manager needs to share.
With luck, in that kind of environment he
is more relaxed and open to topics his fellow volunteers want to discuss on behalf of
players. —Tom, Ft. Myers, Florida
Hi Tom,
I like how you think: If you can’t deal
with the “general,” use the chain of command to your advantage by befriending one
of his lieutenants. I’m sure the other workers want to keep him as calm as the players
do. —Guy
Hi Guy,
You ran a letter in your column from a
player who was getting stressed out by a
hall manager who “yells” a lot and is very
strict about how his Bingo operates and the
players behave. The player asked what to do
about this “problem.”
My answer is: Send this guy to us! We
have the complete opposite problem. Our
Bingo manager is very casual about everything—she isn’t concerned if it’s noisy,
or the caller is slow, or how many players
show up. Don’t get me wrong. She isn’t
lazy. She works very hard. But she kind
of lets the games go however they go and
doesn’t pay much attention from the back
room where’s she’s always working.
We’ve had games with so many people
talking you could barely hear the caller.
We’ve had games start 30 minutes late
because the lines got so backed up from
people buying paper and chatting with the
workers. I would MUCH rather have a manager cracking the whip and keeping things
in line and on schedule! —LV, California,
via email
Hi LV,
I was glad to receive your letter because it
illustrates that old saying: “One man’s trash
is another man’s treasure.” In other words,
what one person finds useless or a problem,
another will find valuable and just what they
need.
Like you, I too prefer a hall that is run efficiently by a firm manager. I am not a fan
of yelling or of someone who throws adult
tantrums. But I do like a manager who nips
problems in the bud and makes it clear that
if players in their hall want to cause trouble,
they will soon find themselves on the other
side of the door. —Guy
Hey guys! (And gals!) Write to: Guy’s Turn c/o The
Bingo Bugle, P.O. Box 527, Vashon, Washington 98070,
or e-mail Guy directly at [email protected]. Be sure
to include your name and address (you may request
that your name not be published), as typically Guy will
not include anonymous letters in his columns.

" Some of the recent winners at riverboat Bin go"
Was $1 million beat
the worst in poker
history?
By Chad Holloway
Three years ago, Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Lalibert announced the creation of
the $1 million buy-in “Big One for One
Drop”—the most expensive tournament
buy-in in poker history—to be held at the
2012 World Series of Poker. The tournament proved tremendously successful, as
48 poker pros and philanthropic businessmen came together and raised more than
$5.5 million for charity. As such, an encore
was organized for the 2014 WSOP.
This year’s follow-up tournament, which
attracted 42 players and raised an additional
$4.7 million for The One Drop Foundation,
played out in late June and aired on ESPN
a month later. On one of the broadcasts,
viewers witnessed a hand that members of
the mainstream media quickly dubbed “the
worst bad beat you will see in poker” and
“worst tournament beat ever.”
The hand that caused such a ruckus took
place on Level 13 (50,000-100,000 blinds
with a 10,000 ante), when there were just
three tables left in the tournament. Two of
the players still in contention were Connor
Drinan, who had qualified via a $25,000
satellite, and college-loan magnate Cary
Katz.
The infamous hand began when Katz
raised to 225,000 from under the gun position. Drinan, a young and accomplished
player, reraised to 580,000 from the big
blind. Katz responded with a four-bet to
2 million. Drinan moved all in, and Katz
made the call with the bigger stack.
Drinan tabled the Ad-Ac, and Katz also
turned over pocket aces with the As-Ah.
The two players would chop the pot 95.65
percent of the time, and the only way one
of them could win outright would be if the
board “four-flushed,” meaning four cards
of the same suit ran out.
The 2d-Kh-5h flop gave Katz a freeroll
to the hearts, and wouldn’t you know it,
the 4h on the turn suddenly made it a very
real possibility.
“I feel like it might [come],” said Antonio Esfandiari, the winner of the inaugural
Big One for One Drop. Katz joked that he
had some of that “Esfandiari luck,” and
then the dealer quietly burned and put out
the 2h, which completed the flush and sent
shockwaves through the crowd.
Drinan, the unfortunate victim, was understandably speechless. A day later, Katz
would finish in eighth place, good for just
over $1.3 million. Daniel Colman won the
tournament and walked away with more
than $15.3 million.
Whether or not this stunning hand was
the worst beat in poker history is debatable,
but what happened to Drinan was unquestionably nightmarish.
“Connor Drinan just became the answer
to a wicked poker trivia question,” ESPN
commentator Lon McEachern said at the
conclusion of the hand. “That is brutal.
That might be the worst beat in the history
of tournament poker.”
For two players to be dealt pocket aces
is exceedingly rare, and to have such a
hand end in anything but a chop is also
extremely rare. To have this combination
of rarities occur in a tournament with the
world’s biggest buy-in…well, it certainly
made for a memorable moment.

Bugle Cruise News
Tournament Cruise
2015 itinerary announced!
By Jeffrey Charboneau
Special to the Bingo Bugle
Bingo fans have been clamoring for
news of the 27th Annual World Championship Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise.
And at last, here it is!
The 2015 Bingo Bugle Tournament
Cruise will explore the tropical eastern
Caribbean aboard Carnival Breeze, sailing
from Miami on Nov. 7. Carnival Breeze,
built in 2012, is the third and last of Carnival Cruise Line’s enormous Dream-class
ships.
You’ll find yourself at all the hottest onboard spaces—and on-shore places—when
you cruise on Carnival Breeze. The ship
has among the widest varieties of activity,
dining and entertainment options of the entire fleet. Breeze features a half-mile-long
exterior promenade and an aqua park with
a 300-foot corkscrew water slide called
Twister and another called The Drainpipe.
It also has a 4-D Cinema called Thrill
Theater, the Cloud 9 Spa, a jogging track,
a fitness center, Seaside Theater, Red Frog
Pub, Winner’s Luck casino and bar, the
Liquid Nightclub disco, Punchliner Comedy Club, and Hasbro: The Game Show.
Other features include the Fahrenheit
555 Steakhouse; Guy’s Burger Joint, which
offers burgers custom-created by Food
Network chef Guy Fieri; a Comedy Brunch
on sea days; the Cucina del Capitano, a
family-style Italian eatery with an extensive nighttime menu; a free lunchtime pasta
bar, the Blue Iguana Cantina; and a burrito
and taco made-to-order eatery outside Fat
Jimmy’s C-Side BBQ.
You’ll find yourself scrambling to sample all that Carnival Breeze has to offer
as it cruises to some of the region’s most
storied isles, ringed by rainbow-hued coral
gardens.
Your itinerary includes a stop at St.
Maarten, a 37-mile isle that offers cosmopolitan culture, international shopping, and
world-class cuisine with a laid-back Caribbean atmosphere. Next is Antigua, where,
tradition has it, there’s a beach for every
day of the year. Antigua is followed by a
visit to St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands,
where seafarers from around the globe
have flocked to its harbors since pirates
sailed the seas. Your final port destination
is Nassau, the historic and cultural heart of
The Bahamas and one of the world’s most
popular cruise ship destinations for fine
beaches, shopping, water sports and other
fun-filled attractions.
Between ports, Bingo fans will compete
for $100,000 in cash and prizes in the
Bingo Bugle’s 27th Annual World Championship Bingo Tournament. The player with
the highest winnings after all 60 official
tournament games becomes Bingo Grand
Champion and receives a free cruise for
two aboard the 2016 Bingo Tournament
Cruise.
There’s plenty of other gaming besides,
through the optional Sizzling Slots Tournament, Bingo Bugle Blackjack Tournament,
and Texas Hold ’em Poker Tournament, not
to mention all the gaming available in the
Carnival Breeze casino.
The 27th Annual World Championship
Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise truly
is a life experience not to be missed. Learn
more about this exciting gaming vacation
opportunity by phoning the Bingo Bugle
Cruise Hotline at 888-352-2464 or by visiting us online at bingobugle.com/cruise.

Dear Dream Lady,
I love to cook so I read a lot of recipes
from books, magazines and newspaper
articles. However, I had an odd dream last
night. I dreamed that I received bags and
bags of recipes in the mail—almost like I
was a “Recipe Movie Star” and I had asked
for recipes. I did not. I have enough using
my own resources. Why did I receive so
much unsolicited mail?

Dear Mary,
First, I offer condolences on your mother’s death. Also, I hope you get your health
problems under control. Black squirrels
biting you are bad signs. Black symbolizes
death and/or ominous situations. The biting squirrels tell me more problems are on
the way. I hope this is not a self-fulfilling
prophecy. If the death of your mother has
hit you harder than you thought, please
join a grief-support group. I am sure there
is at least one group in your large city. My
thoughts are with you. —Dream Lady

You might not be familiar with the
National Chicken Council, but it’s
making predictions about you nonetheless. If you ate wings while watching
the Super Bowl, you contributed to the 1.25
billion wings that the council’s 2014 Wing
Report projected to be consumed during
that event.
…Those who study such things say that if
you happen to find lint in your belly button,
it’s more likely to be blue than any other
color.
…The name of the state of Alabama comes
from the Choctaw word “albah,” which
means “plant-cutters.”
…Accident or not? At an evening event in
1989, a bottle of wine once owned by Thomas Jefferson was up for sale. The asking
price? $500,000. It seems nobody was willing to pony up the cash, and at the end of
the night there was no sale. At that point, a
waiter (inadvertently?) dropped the bottle,
destroying the unprofitable item. The bottle
was insured, however, and the merchant
did end up with $250,000.
…The White House was not designed by
an American. It was Irish architect James
Hoban who won the competition to create
the architectural plans for the home of the

…Before he became president, George

Dear Dream Lady,
Recently, I had a dream where I was
bitten by two black squirrels. Nothing happened in the dream before they bit me and
then I woke up. It has been a difficult summer. My mother passed away and I have
had health problems. I keep thinking about
this dream and wonder what its message
is. I could not find anything in my dream
reference books. Thank you,
Mary P., Chicago, Illinois
Dear Frankie,
Receiving recipes tells me people want
to give you unsolicited advice because
they believe you need advice about something. You have avoided a difficult situation that must be resolved. Please take
your others’ advice and tackle whatever is
bothering you with a “solution-oriented”
approach. You will sleep better if you do
this. —Dream Lady

Bingo Challenge
All in good fun, hopefully
Last Saturday Kate and I were a little late
getting to Bingo and so found our seats in
the very first row in front of the caller. It
turned out to be the “cane table” as three
players with canes were already seated
there and two more joined us straightaway.
We introduced ourselves to the other
players and readied for play. The first three
games were unremarkable, but then the fun
started. One “caner” challenged another’s
Bingo and reached across to grab his
card. It was apparent these elderly people
all knew each other well, but I could not
tell how lighthearted the challenge was.
It seemed very serious at the time, but
soon they were all laughing and clowning
around. The challenged player’s card was
good and we moved on to the next game.
This time when someone at our table won, another “caner” leaped up and
grabbed for his card. The winner was having none of it, however, and snatched his
card out of reach. A floor worker arrived
just in time to prevent a real problem,
though they were certainly verbal.
“You people have to calm down,” said
the floor worker, “or I’ll have to ask you
to leave.”
“Leave!” challenged the noisiest one.
“Why you can’t ask us to leave. The bus
don’t come for another two hours. Besides
you’d be lost without us.”
“Well, just be quieter,” said the floor
worker, beating a hasty retreat.
We went on to the next game, a big H as
well as a little h, when the fussing began
again. Oldsters frequently have trouble
with these double games, so I was preparing to help when Joe leaped up, grabbing
his cane and yelling, “Bingo, by damn. I
got a Bingo!”
Ralph challenged him as predicted and
a big fuss began. Then Joe leaned across
the table putting most of his weight on his
cane. Ralph knocked his cane out from
under him and down he went amid much
moaning and groaning.
They helped him up and he seemed unhurt, but very angry about the insult to his
dignity. “What’d you wanta go and do that
for?” he yelled at Ralph.
“Oh, you were just being too picky,” said
Ralph. “I wanted to calm you down.”
The head floor worker came over. “That’s
your last chance,” she said. “Any more
fussing and you two are both out of here.”
The boys looked chagrined, but with grins
lurking under their meek expressions.
“Yes, Ma’am,” they both said.
Soon we were on to the final game, an
Indian star, one of my personal favorites
and I thought it was about time I won one.
We played a regular Bingo on the way,
which was won by someone far away in the
room. Then Ralph, Joe and I were all on at
the same time and we each began chanting
the number we wanted.
“Come on 63,” said Ralph, “Daddy
needs a new prosthesis. Come on.”
I thought this interesting enough to
almost lose my concentration when Joe
started chanting, “Bring me 45. Bring me
45. I need a new walker.”
But someone in the far part of the room
won and I went away wondering how they
would get along without the new prosthesis
and walker they claimed they needed.

TURKEY AMERICANA SALAD
Use your leftover turkey, vegetables (leftover Brussel sprouts, roasted vegetables,
broccoli, cauliflower or asparagus also work
well) and cranberry sauce in this salad,
which is a tribute to traditional Thanksgiving flavors.
New Ideas for
Leftover Turkey
Some folks think that the leftovers are
one of the best parts of the Thanksgiving
holiday. With a little imagination and safe
food handling, you can create a new twist on
leftover turkey and side dishes.
When you reheat the turkey, stuffing or
gravy, make sure it reaches a temperature of
at least 165 F. Here are a few creative ideas
for using your leftover turkey, dressing and
vegetables that are sure to become new holiday traditions!
3-BEAN TURKEY CHILI
Adding the crushed tortilla chips helps to
thicken the chili and adds a delicious corn
flavor to the dish. It’s a great way to use
up those broken chips in the bottom of the
bag!
2
teaspoons cooking oil
1
medium onion, chopped
1
cup chopped celery
3
cloves garlic, chopped
1
tablespoon chili powder
1
tablespoon ground cumin
1
teaspoon salt
1
teaspoon ground black pepper
1
can (28-ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1
jar (16-ounces) hot or mild chunky salsa
1/2 cup turkey gravy (optional)
2
cups cubed cooked turkey
1
(15-ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
1
(15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1
(15-ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup finely crushed tortilla chips
1. Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan over
medium heat. Add onions, celery, garlic,
chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook
until onions are clear. Add the remaining
ingredients and stir until well-combined.*
2. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat
to a simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Serve with shredded Cheddar
cheese, sour cream, chopped onions and/
or jalapenos or the toppings of your choice.
Serves 6.
*Slow-Cooker Option: You can place
all of the ingredients into a slower cooker
at this point and cook it on low for 4 to 5

until well-combined. Add the dressing to
the turkey mixture and toss gently to evenly

baby spinach evenly onto a serving platter,
top with the dressed salad, garnish with celery leaves and serve immediately. Serves 4.
TURKEY DAY WRAP

2
tablespoons mayonnaise

1/2 cup chopped purple onion
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Wrap the tortillas in a paper towel. Sprinkle with water on both sides. Warm in microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. Spread each
tortilla lightly with mayo. Divide the turkey
and dressing, if desired, and put an equal
amount on each tortilla. Add a slice of the
bacon and tomato, and an equal amount of
the coleslaw or lettuce, onions and shredded cheese to each tortilla. Wrap tightly and
serve. Serves 4.

Blackjack tools
Improving your game
There are many good tools on the Internet that blackjack players can use to
improve their game. Moreover, they are all
FREE. Below is a summary of some of the
better ones.
Blackjack Strategy Engine
You can generate a blackjack strategy
table (in color or black and white) from any
set of playing rules (and number of decks)
by using the Blackjack Strategy Engine at
www.blackjackinfo.com. You simply use
the drop down menu to select the number
of decks and then check the rules that interest you (from a list of playing rules), then
just click the “Get The Strategy” button
and within seconds you will have an accurate strategy chart that you can print.
Blackjack Strategy Calculator
This calculator (http://wizardofodds.
com/games/blackjack/strategy/calculator/)
will also generate a basic strategy chart (in
color) for any number of decks and playing
rules. You simply use the drop menu to select the number of decks and rules and the
calculator will generate a strategy chart.
Blackjack House Edge Calculator
If you go to http://wizardofodds.com/
games/blackjack/calculator/, you’ll find
a tool that allows you to input any set of
playing rules and the calculator will generate the “optimal” and “realistic” house
edge, assuming you use the correct basic
playing strategy. (The optimal house edge
is based on perfect composition dependent
strategy and the dealer shuffling after every
hand, whereas the realistic house edge is
based on total dependent basic strategy,
and the use of a cut card.)
Basic Strategy Trainer
The Blackjack Strategy Trainer is a free
blackjack game that will teach you while
you play. You select the exact rules that you
want, and the “Strategy Coach” will warn
if you make a basic strategy mistake. (You
can also turn off the Coach, if you prefer.)
Available at http://www.blackjackinfo.
com/bst/
Hit or Stand.net
This site (www.hitorstand.net) contains a
free blackjack game and trainer that teaches
you blackjack strategy while you play. The
goal of the game is to make a high percentage of correct moves. There are two modes
of play (easy and difficult).
Gamemaster’s Blackjack School
Located at http://www.gamemasteronline.com/BlackjackContent.shtml, you’ll
find 24 lessons that will take you systematically through the process of learning how
to play each hand properly, how to count
cards, how and when to properly bet, and
literally hundreds of other “tricks of the
trade.”
Blackjack Tournaments
For a listing of major (and minor) blackjack tournaments throughout the USA,
check out www.blackjacktournaments.
com.
There are several other web sites that
contain good information for blackjack
players, although they are not free. I’m
going to shamelessly recommend my
Blackjack Insider e-Newsletter that is
emailed to subscribers every month. Each
issue contains articles by paid reporters
that cover up-to-date playing conditions in
different parts of the USA, information on
basic strategy, card counting, tournaments,
plus articles on video poker and craps. You
can receive three free issues of the Blackjack Insider that will be emailed to you
by going to www.bjinsider.com/freetrial.
The second great source of information
for blackjack players is at www.bj21.com.
There you will find Current Blackjack
News, a detailed monthly compilation of
playing conditions in casinos throughout
the USA, plus message boards where semipro and professional card counters will post
(and answer questions from posters on all
aspects of blackjack and card counting).
Why not take advantage of all of this information that is available to you in a click
of the mouse. You’ll become a better player
by doing so.
Henry Tamburin is the editor of Blackjack Insider
Newsletter (www.bjinsider.com), Lead Instructor
for the Golden Touch Blackjack Course (www.
goldentouchblackjack.com), and host of www.
smartgaming.com. For a FREE three-month subscription to his blackjack newsletter, go to www.
bjinsider.com/freetrial.com. To receive his FREE
Casino Gambling Catalog, call 1-888-353-3234
