would have a 28.7 percent chance
of ruin; however, if she doesn’t go
broke, she will have a 34.4 percent
chance of winding up with some
profit after two hours and 65.1
percent chance of a loss. She will
only wind up with a profit about
a third of the time, which is not
too surprising for any video poker
game. All video poker games are
volatile to some extent; therefore,
you generally will lose roughly two
thirds of your sessions for every
one winning session.
What if her local casino only
offers 8/5 Jacks or Better. Now
her chance of ruin increases and her
chance of a profit decreases. That’s
because she is being short-changed
every time she gets a flush and full
house on an 8/5 game. This will
result in more losses (compared to
9/6 JOB) and a greater chance of
ruin (and less chance of turning a
profit).
Bottom line: This is another
reason why it’s always better to
play the full pay schedules (like
9/6 JOB) instead of the short pay
schedules (like 8/5 JOB).
Double Double Bonus has
a higher volatility; therefore, it’s
not to surprising that her risk of
losing the $100 bankroll increases
compared to Jacks or Better.
Generally, if you want to maintain
the same risk of ruin with volatile
video poker games, you’ll need

October marks 10th anniversary of I-69 here
Paving is underway on sections of I-269, which will begin at I-69 and I-55
by David Grisham
TUNICA RESORTS — This month marks the 10th anniversary
of what we at Jackpot! like to call the I-69 “casino corridor.” The
stretch of Interstate 69 connecting Tunica County to Interstate 55
opened at 2 p.m. on Oct. 3, 2006. When it did, it effectively cut travel time in half from I-55 to the casinos in Tunica.
To mark the opening a decade ago, a collection of classic Studebakers lined up for a
parade. They were the first cars to travel the
section of highway. The cars were soon followed by a stream of newer cars and trucks
that continues flow to this day as folks travel
to and from the casinos on the quick link
between Tunica and I-55.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony commemorated the completion of the section, which is
part of 32 sections of the Interstate 69 project.
Interstate Highway 69 is a federal-aid highway
project composed of a 1,650 mile-long stretch of
national highway. Once completed, it will provide a continous route from the Michigan and Canadian border to the
border of Texas and Mexico.
There is more work currently taking place to extend I-69 east of
I-55 with the Interstate 269 project. I-269 will begin at the I-55/I-69
intersection in Mississippi. Once completed, it will make it easier for
people traveling in northwest Mississippi to go east to west and vice
versa and speed up the trek to and from Highway
61 for a lot of travelers as it connects communities in several states - good news for casinos in
the Mississippi Delta.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), in a recent update,
stated that construction of the Interstate
269 project continues and is on schedule in
North Mississippi.
The Interstate 269 project is the largest active MDOT construction project in the state,
meaning it is sure to be at or near the top of the
priority list. That said, dirt and bridge work for the
entire Interstate 269 corridor has already been completed.
The next phase of the project is made up of two separate
paving projects, the largest of which has been let to contract, and
work is underway. MDOT expects the interstate to open in the fall
of 2018.
“I-269 will be a valuable asset, providing a safer and more efficient way for commercial vehicles to move goods through the
region,” MDOT Commissioner Mike Tagert said. “As growth continues in DeSoto and Marshall Counties, this new interstate will be
vital in promoting economic growth and development in the region.
The construction of I-269 will transform the region by connecting
local communities in several states and will have far-reaching international implications.”
The first section of Interstate 269, from Mississippi 302 to the
Tennessee state line in Marshall County, opened to traffic on Oct.
23, 2015. The agency states that I-269 will be a 30-mile loop around
Memphis through Mississippi and Tennessee upon completion.

Rock group Ratt, country music duo Thompson Square to perform at —
Mid-South Great Steak Cook-off at Southland
WEST MEMPHIS – Southland Park Gaming & Racing hosts its
Mid-South Great Steak Cook-off on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1516. The event, in its sixth consecutive year, will feature rock legends
Ratt, with special guest Jack Russell’s Great White on Saturday, Oct.
15.
New to this year’s cook-off is a second day of entertainment
on Sunday, Oct. 16, headlined by country music duo Thompson
Square, with support from recent finalists from NBC’s “The Voice,”
including the Mid-South’s own Barrett Baber, season eight runnerup Meghan Linsey and soulful singer-songwriter Sarah Potenza.
More than 80 teams from five different states competed in 2015
for a share of $7,500 in prize money. The 2016 prize pool has been
pushed to more than $10,000.
The multi-platinum rock band Ratt, whose sound helped pioneer
Hollywood’s legendary Sunset Strip sound and scene in the 1980’s,
has produced albums certified as gold, platinum and multi-platinum
with hits “Round and Round” and “Lay it Down.”
The American country music duo Thompson Square’s two albums have produced a combined 10 chart singles on the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts. Of these singles, two – “Are
You Gonna Kiss Me or Not” and “If I Didn’t Have You” – have
reached number one.
This cook-off has grown in popularity each year and with the addition of a second day of entertainment the event should be more
popular than ever.
Tickets for the event are on sale now and are available for $30 for
a two-day ticket, with single day passes available for $20, at southlandpark.com, ticketmaster.com or by visiting Guest Services at
Southland Park.
Award-winning steaks will be on the grill at Southland Park.
Ratt and Jack Russell’s Great White will perform on Saturday.
Thompson Square will perform on Sunday.

HOROSCOPE
Good time to focus on your appearance, Libra
Editor’s Note: Horoscopes are meant for entertainment purposes only
and are for the time period October 13 - October 26, 2016.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22) — Mercury has
joined the Sun and Jupiter in your sign. This
is a good time to focus on your appearance
and on creating a good first impression. If you want
to change your hairstyle, shop for clothes or visit the
gym, you have permission of the cosmos to do so.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Venus is
in your sign and helps you rectify minor
wrongs and misunderstandings in an existing
association. It also helps you reach out in a spirit of
kindness and forgiveness to those you’d still like to
feature in your life. This doesn’t come naturally as
you believe lowering your guard conveys a message
of weakness. Be kinder to yourself and others, too.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Putting
Saturn aside, there’s no doubt you’re feeling
tired, chastened and older. There’s no
denying the maturing influence of this planet, which
brings wisdom and knowledge. Think optimistically.
Remind yourself that you’re closer to your goals.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Jupiter
at the apex of your horoscope proves
wondrous for your career concerns. You
don’t take kindly to being told what to do, while your
superiors need to gain your respect and demonstrate
their capabilities. So the chances of you earning your
living in idiosyncratic ways are high, while the idea of
being your own boss, certainly has an appeal…
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — This is a
time for tackling major projects in seclusion:
by yourself and away from public scrutiny.
Mars is in an area of your horoscope linked with
activities behind the scenes, giving you the energy to
deal with more than even you could usually handle.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 19) — The stars
suggest you’re better pooling your resources
with a partner or associate, while remaining
open to outside input where funding and your
income are concerned. A big part of you is still
concerned with personal independence and believes
that you are selling out or backtracking.
THE SOUTH’S LARGEST GUIDE TO GAMING & FUN • www.jackpotmagazine.com Aries (March 20-April 19) — The arrival
of Mercury makes for three planets in
your opposite sign. Those from different
backgrounds, walks of life, cultures, age groups
and parts of the world prove the most rewarding
company. It is by being close to them, you can
get a different slant on your own situation.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Most born
under your sign love eating and enjoy
their food. Your taste could lie anywhere
between the conventional and the gourmet, but your
enthusiasm proves unsurpassed regardless. Resolve
at this time to eat healthily.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Concerns
over joint resources can have a positive
outcome eventually if you bite the bullet.
This might be related to the household budget within
a family or partnership scenario, or it could mean
raising the necessary finance for a big purchase, like a
new home, or to pull off an important business deal.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — In your home
life, you’re enjoying a prosperous phase.
You may move home within the next 12
months to somewhere more spacious and in a better
area. Simulantiously, certain people seem determined
to make life difficult for you. To pin down the culprit
you don’t need to look far.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — The pace of
life heats up for you. There will be plenty
to do at work, lots of people to talk to and
places to go, running errands in your locality rather
than further afield. Much of this proves extremely
rewarding.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Your financial
affairs are to the forefront. You’re aware
some big expenses are lurking round the
corner. You are most anxious about your domestic
and family responsibilities, especially concerning
somebody close you feel you owe a lot to.
