opening of important collection of music artifacts
TUNICA RESORTS – Tunica’s Gateway to the Blues Museum
celebrated its opening Feb. 19. The museum is located in the Gateway to the Blues Visitors Center on the Blues Highway (United
States Route 61) in the Mississippi Delta - where the blues began.
The Gateway to the Blues exhibition represents one of the most
important collections of blues artifacts and memorabilia in the
country. More than 700 items help to illuminate the story of the
origin and development of blues music in the Mississippi Delta.
“It is with great pleasure that we open the Gateway to the Blues
Museum, the first stop outside of Memphis for blues and music
tourists looking to experience Mississippi’s musical heritage, today,”
said Webster Franklin, president and CEO of the Tunica Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We will forever be grateful of the generosity of Caesars Entertainment, the Mississippi Department of Left to Right – James Dunn, president, Tunica County Board of
Transportation, and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Hood of Dundee, Missis- Supervisors; George Hunt, artist; Webster Franklin, president and

HEARD IT
ON THE RIVER
by Rudi Schiffer
After covering casinos for more than 22 years nothing should
surprise me anymore, but there is always something new out there
when the creative minds of casino marketing folks and their agencies go to work.
Like Borgata’s announcement a few days ago that basketball balls
will be bouncing on its floors soon. Borgata, a Boyd Gaming company, has been approved by New Jersey officials to host a basketball
contest next month where gamblers can shoot free throws from 15
feet at a 10-foot-high basket as they bet against each other, not the
house.
I can see it now. Players from the Philadelphia 76’ers show up on
an off day to compete and that would be just fine according to Joe
Lupo, senior vice president. The pros and any player over 21 with a
Borgata card just has to plunk down $20 to compete in 90-second
rounds to qualify for the final round of 16, with the top four shooters splitting $10,000 and the winner nets $5,000.
The March 21 tournament will be the first of its kind in the industry based on physical skill. With all the wanna-be players in the
Mid-South, this would be a hit in Tunica’s casinos, but needs ap-
proval in Mississippi before it can happen.
Why stop there? How about penalty kicks in soccer, skaters taking penalty shots, home run contests. The business needs a jolt, but
don’t count on physical skills to be a panacea. Check out those waistlines in Mississippi.
A better bet is to aggressively pursue legal sports books in MidSouth casinos and it’s nice to see some new activity picking up in
that area. Debate is needed at the federal level on Nevada’s virtual
monopoly on legal sports betting and Senator John McCain said
recently “we need to have hearings in Congress on the whole issue
so we can build consensus.”
He follows NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who has engaged
other pro leagues in conversations about potential legalization of
sports betting, but to date they remain closed-mouthed with the
exception of the loquacious Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban, who
said… “l’m glad Adam is putting the hypocrisy behind us and putting it all up front.”
Nearer to home, Mississippi State Representative Bobby Moak
introduced last month Bill 306 to approve and regulate online poker. Let’s see how long that paperwork takes to get approved. But it’s
for online poker. Where is sport betting, Bobby?
The pro leagues and the NCAA have been hiding behind a public
stance that sports betting threatens the integrity of their leagues but
not a lot of people believe that as scandals have rocked baseball, the
NFL and college sports. It will happen someday once those hypocrites figure out a way to make a buck from gambling. Bet on it!
St. Patrick’s Day is coming up and FITZ CASINO & HOTEL is
planning a big party for March 17. Enjoy live entertainment on the
Stage Bar, free party favors and free green beer. The Irish-themed
castle will be covered in green. Enjoy free green beer and party
favors from noon to 8 p.m. Share the excitement with live radio

your chance to win $100 every 10 minutes from noon to 8 p.m.
And there’s more. Enjoy the St. Patrick’s Day special Irish Buffet for
$17.99, noon to 10:30 p.m.
GOLD STRIKE Strike will give away four trips to the Final 4
basketball tournament, an Audi Q5 and thousands in FreePlay during the “4 The Love of the Game Ultimate Giveaway,” which runs

Tipping
Guidelines
When you receive good service at a casino, it
is customary to award the person giving the
good service a gratuity (tip). Jackpot! readers
ask us occassionally what the appropriate
tip to leave might be for quality service for
different casino employees. Obviously, many
things factor into this, so please note that the
information below is just a guideline, and
impeccable service would receive a higher tip.
‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡

High Roller/Comp = $5 per round,

said money makes the world go around,
although gravity and love are alternative
agencies preferred by some. Material wealth provides
a yardstick by which folk active in the world of work
can judge their progress. Unless you run a charity,

ultimate reward.

By Paul Wade
!RIES-ARCH!PRIL — This period
is the window of opportunity you. Try not
to be impatient or imagine it is a once in a
lifetime chance as you’ll only undermine your best
efforts. The contrast to the lackluster atmosphere
that existed previously could not be more obvious.
4AURUS!PRIL-AY — The action
this period takes place behind the scenes.
From the outside it may look like little is
happening, but that belies the truth. You come to
terms with needs and expectations. It may be that in
the past others have not appreciated how they have
interfered with your peace of mind. Keep them away.
'EMINI-AY*UNE— Your closest
associations are going through a testing
period, where what remains between you is
held up for review. A few emerge stronger and will
shrug off future challenges. Significant encounters
occur with a profound impact on your outlook
#ANCER *UNE *ULY — Your
professional affairs predominate now.
For many there is an emphasis on your
employment affairs, either in terms of the choices
you’ve made previously or when it comes to the
necessary experience and qualifications to make your
ambitions a reality. Your best option is to cultivate an
individualistic angle for opportunities more lucrative.
,EO *ULY !UG — This period
it is helpful to bear a few guidelines in
mind. Firstly, by thinking positively and
optimistically and by believing in your heart that
events are in your favor matters will turn out as you
want. Modesty and humility win you more friends.
6IRGO!UG3EP— The emphasis
is on other people now. You may feel quite
frustrated and resentful at times because of
the need to gain approval. You accommodate the
wishes of others and integrate them with your needs.
,IBRA 3EP /CT — Those of an
intimate and personal nature are back in
the spotlight. Business partnerships are not
exempt and neither are situations where you’re
seeking reliable and unbiased advice, for example
from your doctor, a financial advisor or a trusted
counsellor. Communication is the key.
3CORPIO/CT.OV— Your mind
is on your financial affairs. You have been
fortunate as opportunities to further your
ambitions have been numerous, particularly when
it comes to your professional interests and career
choices. Keep it going as the cosmos will not always
be so categorically on your side.
3AGITTARIUS.OV$EC— Much is
made about the harsher qualities of Saturn,
including the constraints with which this
it is associated. Saturn is far from all bad. When
implicated in sympathetic alignments with other
planets, the outcomes are easier to take. Such is the
case at this time, as you happily enjoy the dynamic.
#APRICORN$EC*AN— Abundant
activity on the domestic front keeps you on
your toes. The pace is frenetic and leaves
you playing catch-up. Know that whenever you place
another’s interests before you own, people will notice
you really care.
!QUARIUS *AN &EB — Mercury
is in your sign, influencing communication,
ruling thought and your logical mind, so
your thinking is unusually lucid at the moment, your
memory is better than normal and you are able to deal
with complex concepts if you have to, while holding
the details in your mind. Make it work for you.
