Stories from the Real World & Cyberspace
n This month: A Bingo Phenomenon
By Jeffrey Charboneau
Special to the Bingo Bugle
Bingo Raves
An entrepreneur from Northern
Ireland who co-founded the Bingo rave
phenomenon “Bongo Bingo” that’s
sweeping the United Kingdom is set to
take the event worldwide. Bingo raves
are Bingo gaming parties that include
nightclub-style music and dancing and
have become popular with younger
audiences. Jonny Lacey, 30, from Belfast,
has been flooded with offers to host the
popular parties in venues from Australia
to Mexico—and now plans to bring his
famous Bingo nights to his home city.
Bongo’s Bingo has changed the face of
the popular pastime: Players can win
prizes including convertibles, holidays
to the Caribbean and speed boats. And
it all happens while dancing to ’90s pop
music while Lacey calls out the next
Bingo number. The event was launched in
Liverpool by Lacey and business partner
Josh Burke. The shows quickly became
a sell-out and the pair invested in bigger
prizes and venues, and invited celebrity
guests including David Hasselhoff and the
Vengaboys to host.
A Bingo Attacker
An armed security guard working at
Buckeye Bingo in Waco, Texas, fought off
a would-be attacker, then shot and killed
him in the parking lot of the business, the
Waco police reported. The security officer
was reportedly shot in the hand during the
altercation with a masked man. The man
reportedly approached the guard from
behind and tried to put his arm around him
while reaching for the security guard’s
gun. During the alleged struggle for the
handgun, the security guard was able to
discharge his firearm, and the suspect was
injured. According to police, the would-be

attacker attempted to run into a nearby
alley but fell and later died at the scene.
Emergency responders transported the
guard to an area hospital for treatment of
his injuries. About 150 people remained in
the Bingo hall throughout the incident. The
hall reopened a short time later. No one in
the hall was injured.
Dear S.J.,
I contacted a staff member of the Bingo
Bugle’s Nevada Edition and checked out
what you discovered in the paper. What I
learned, however, is not nearly as sinister
as what you proposed.
First off, it is certainly not unusual for
a person to win more than one jackpot
during a Bingo session. Granted, this
would not result in them changing their
name, but it could result in two photos
being taken. If the wrong caption ended
up on one of the photos, it may be due to
the photographer making a notation error
after photographing the winner a second
time.
Setting that theory aside, it is far more
likely that the duplicate photo was simply
a design error.
When designers are laying out the
pages of the paper, some may use
premade templates to make the job easier.
Sometimes they may use a new template;
other times they may open an old template
and “reuse” the text boxes and photo
boxes, stripping out the old pictures,
stories and captions and adding new ones.
The risk in using an old template,
however, is that sometimes the designer
will fail to remove all the old copy or
images. As a result, the same picture
will accidentally not be removed,
resulting in its appearing more than once.
Alternatively, and far more simply, a new
image may be inserted twice on different
pages in the course of page design without
anyone noticing.
However the error occurred, the Nevada
Edition certainly regrets the mistake.
Interestingly, a number of years ago
the same edition had an error in which
a photo caption described a young male
player celebrating his birthday playing
Bingo, while the photo depicted an elderly
woman at the Bingo tables. That error
made it all the way to The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno, where it was featured in
one of Leno’s segments on funny news
stories.
Finally, in response to your assertion
that casinos hire people to win jackpots
and return them to the casinos…
It seems a bit of a stretch to believe a
casino would risk losing its license, face
criminal charges, or be shut down for
attempting to “steal” Bingo jackpots of
a few hundred or even several thousand
dollars. And when the really big jackpots
happen, casinos go out of their way to
publicize the event, showcase the winner
and entice more players to visit. Would
they really publicize a shill?
While preparing this column, I also
Googled news stories about Bingo scams/
shills at casinos and found virtually
nothing—except for a story from the
1980s on a raid of an Indian Bingo for
using planted players. That said, I of
course welcome input from any casino
Bingo pros out there who know otherwise.

Halloween Night
I begin to get excited as soon as the
giant spider goes up on top of the real
estate office. This year there is also
a giant witch atop the coffee bar two
doors down and I know Halloween is
just around the corner. Our town really
goes out for Halloween decorations and
we have them everywhere downtown
as well as on private residences. The
Hardware Store has a long line of jacko-lanterns on their front railing and
they are added to daily. These are so
creative, but I especially like the ones
with circles for eyes and mouth. They
look surprised and happy. One grocery
store has a huge pile of pumpkins
which they give to any child who
wants one.
This year I am dressing as a witch
which Kate says fits my personality
but I just ignore her. We don’t go trick
or treating, but unless there is a Bingo
game, we go uptown and watch the
kids race around, collecting loot. Many
of our friends do the same, so we make
up a merry group.
This year there was a Bingo game
on the day before Halloween which
allowed me to wear my costume
twice, making me very happy. We
were a mixed bunch at the Bingo Hall,
many of us in costume but also many
holdouts. Rod and Cliff joined us for
the games—which were early and we
planned to go to dinner afterward.
Rod was in a particularly good mood,
dressed as a cavalier and looking very
handsome.
“I don’t know if I should be seen
with a witch,” he said, “But, since it’s
you I guess it will be all right.”
“You should talk,” I rejoined. “Look
at those two,” I pointed to couple
dressed as a pumpkin and a scarecrow.
“They are enough to put you off
Halloween forever.”
The games proved to be the usual
mix except for two Halloween specials.
One, called the “Witching Hour” was a
big X plus a small picture frame. Very
difficult, but Cliff won and announced
dinner was on him tonight.
The second Halloween special
was two small squares followed by a
blackout. It seemed to take forever, but
suddenly I was on and began chanting
for my number. The scarecrow beat me
to it and we were suddenly in a race for
the blackout.
Kate was sort of grumpy, but even
she got in the spirit and was daubing
away like crazy. “I don’t know how I
feel about all of this Halloween gunk,”
she said. “But I guess I can celebrate
some seeing as to how you are going
so all out.”
“Oh, come on,” I said. “You will
have more fun if you just relax and
enjoy.”
And then she won! I was so excited
I couldn’t sit still, but she just sat there
looking dumbfounded. “I didn’t even
realize I was on—and then I won,” she
said. “In another second I would have
missed it. Who’d have believed?”
We all continued to be excited
throughout dinner so I suggested we
drive around town and look at all the
decorations. It was late enough that
nobody would object to a slow car
driving main street.
“Oh look,” I said. “The big giraffe
has fairy lights all over him.”
“Yup,” said Cliff. “That’s one lit up
animal.”
We paused to look at the jack-olanterns at the Hardware Store, one
of which still had a stub of a candle
burning. “I just love Halloween,” I
said.
To which they all replied, “No
kidding.”

dream I am ironing on a small island
all by myself. In another I am sitting
inside a Rolls Royce and the chauffeur
has arranged for me to iron—and in yet
another dream I am ironing in a cruise
ship. I no longer own an iron so I am
intrigued about these ongoing dreams.
Patty H., Chicago, Illinois
Outside influences
n Dreaming affected
Dear Dream Lady,
Lately, I have been having the
weirdest dreams about ironing! In one
Dear Patty,
Your “ironing dream” tells me that
an emotional burden will be released
from your life. The island, Rolls Royce
and cruise ship are all symbols of
independence, comfort and wealth.
Have you been raising a child who
is about to leave home or caring for
a loved one who will no longer need
your services? Whatever the situation,
there is light at the end of the tunnel
so prepare to start enjoying your life.
—Dream Lady
GEMINI: May 22-June 21: Give
yourself plenty of time to sort out complex
commitments that might bind your hands
too tightly. There’s a lot coming to fruition
this month. You’re a gifted communicator,
speak your mind and keep everyone on
the same page. One wildcard associate or
partner can overturn the entire apple cart.
State your intentions clearly and all will
be well.

Lucky Numbers: 29-36
Horoscopes for
October 2016
ARIES: Mar. 21-Apr. 20: Money
issues aren’t as daunting as you imagine.
Seek guidance. With the full moon in your
sign this month you’ll need to involve your
partner or associates with your plans to
budget so have something leftover to save.
Don’t let disagreements over finances rock
the boat, with everyone rowing together,
and making adjustments that are equitable,
it is smooth sailing ahead.
Lucky Days: 14-21
Lucky Numbers: 6-50
TAURUS: Apr. 21-May 21: If you
feel like it’s time to clear out skeletons in
the closet you’re absolutely right. October
is a month for making significant purges
and healing old wounds that have gone
unattended. If none of this appeals to you
then take philosopher George Bernard
Shaw’s advice: “If you can’t get rid of the
skeleton in your closet, you’d better teach
it to dance.”
Lucky Days: 12-15
Lucky Numbers: 1-44
CANCER: June 22-July 22: A new
home life beginning arises after a poignant
ending. Too, your career is ready to shift
into a fast rocket ride to a new destination,
a shift you’ve longed for throughout the
year. You’ll want to face the unknown
courageously. Keep in mind these words
of wisdom from Norman Vincent Peale:
“Fear is never a reason for quitting; it is
only an excuse.”
Lucky Days: 11-21
Lucky Numbers: 9-59
LEO: July 23-Aug. 23: As Venus
moves into your house of creative
endeavors, you fall in love all over again
with your many gifts of self-expression.
The pressing question in October is what
project to put the most push behind. The
full moon on the 16th offers a clue: most
likely involving something you’ll write or
help publish. Whatever the path, this is a
month to celebrate talent.
Lucky Days: 2-28
Lucky Numbers: 24-56
VIRGO: Aug. 24-Sept. 23: Remember
when you were a kid and you just did
whatever was the most fun because
you liked doing it—no thoughts about
accomplishments or rewards. Rekindle
that spirit of adventure in October, revisit
a skill or gift that you let go of a longtime
ago because it was considered unrealistic.
Dear Dream Lady,
Maybe it’s because of all the
upsetting news about the election, but
I am having disturbing dreams about
buying guns and hiding them around
the house. I also dream of large dogs
circling my home. I am not sure where
this fear is coming from because I live
in a safe neighborhood. I am more
interested in how to get these dreams
to stop since I think I know what they
mean.

worst incidents are featured. So, do not

Try music or CDs you enjoy. Also,

Dear Carleen,
Since fear is the consistent element
in this dream, and since you live in
a safe neighborhood, the dreams are
coming from outside influences, most
likely, TV news. Some people have
their TVs on all day and, unfortunately,
turned to the news channels where the
Life’s as real as we make it. Have fun!

LIBRA: Sept. 24-Oct. 23: With
Jupiter, the planet of luck and bounty
in your house of self you are your best
resource right now. It’s time to think big
and step out of the shadows. Profitable new
opportunities bloom under the full moon
on the 16th, the only catch will involve
a kerfuffle on the home front that needs
immediate attention. Quell the disruption
and get on with reaching your goals.
Lucky Days 14-25
Lucky Numbers: 4-39
SCORPIO: Oct. 24-Nov. 22: The
singer Isaac Hayes once said, “If you enjoy
the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the
thorns which it bears.” That sums up the
mixed bag of emotions you’ll experience
this month—there’s the sweetness, but
also the shadow. The full moon on the 16th
throws this dichotomy into high relief. Use
your power to penetrate secrets to find your
way through.
Lucky Days: 10-26
Lucky Numbers 17-41
SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 23-Dec. 21:
The full moon on the 16th brings you some
much sought after relief—a critical insight
regarding the way forward for the rest of
the year; 2016 has been a challenge as
Saturn continues to push you toward more
responsible paths and projects, the sort of
limitations that get on your nerves. Focus
on all the wisdom you’ve acquired so far
and not the labor it required to achieve it.
Lucky Days: 12-16
Lucky Numbers: 8-5o7
CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20:
Don’t be too hard on yourself, you’ve been
jugging a difficult set of circumstances
and strategies while attempting to get what
you want without seeming grabby. But
you can’t please all of the people all of the
time. Be willing to look less than perfect
this month. Just remember this quote from
the writer Jack Heath: “Better the devil you
know than the devil you don’t.”
Lucky Days: 13-39
Lucky Numbers: 8-55
AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 19: It’s
time to start a diary or journal—you’re
buzzing with new ideas and insights—
riding high on inspiration, but how to
catalog it all? Organization becomes
critical on the 16th when the full moon
sets everything spinning and you feel like
you’re pulled in five different directions at
the same time. Prioritize projects to soothe
your mind, and leave the rest to fate.
Lucky Days: 2-12
Lucky Numbers: 31-48
PISCES: Feb. 20-Mar. 20: With
Saturn moving forward now it’s easier for
you to face hard truths about your career.
Your skills and talents need to emerge out
of the shadows; now’s the time to launch
your boat, the tide is in your favor and
many of your friends and family members
are rooting for you, too. The only question
to ponder is the best sort of inspiration to
sustain you for the long haul.

Video Poker
n Tossing a dealt winning
hand
by Henry Tamburin
Most of the time when you are dealt
a winning hand when you play video
poker, you should hold all the cards
and happily watch your credit meter
increase by the amount of the payoff.
But always holding a dealt winning
hand isn’t necessarily the right play
to make in all cases. Take for example
the following hand (assume you are
playing Jacks or Better).
Jh-Qh-Ah-6h-10h
Well congratulations, you were just
dealt a paying flush in hearts. For a
five-coin wager, the payback is 30
coins on a 9/6 Jacks or Better machine
(or 25 coins if you happen to be playing
a short-pay 9/5 or 8/5 game). But wait
a minute! If you take another look at
this hand, you’ll notice it also contains
four cards to the royal flush (10-J-Q-A
of hearts). It’s tempting to take that
certain 30-coin profit right then and
there rather than take the risk of going
for the royal flush and possibly ending
up with a zero payoff. (As the saying
goes, “a bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush.” Really?)
If you hold a four-card royal flush,
here are the possible results when you
draw one card.
You could draw another heart, which
will give you a paying flush. There are
13 hearts per deck. You hold five of
them in your hand; therefore, there
are 7 hearts left in the remaining 47
undealt cards that would give you a
paying flush. (This excludes the K of
hearts, the card you need for the royal
flush. The seven cards that would give
you a flush are the 2-3-4-5-7-8-9 of
hearts). If you drew one of those seven
cards, you’d get paid 30 coins.
Another possibility is you could get
a straight when you draw to the fourcard royal flush. In the above hand, if
you drew a king in spades, clubs, or
diamonds you would end up with a
straight that pays 20 coins.
A third possibility is to draw another
jack, queen, or ace that would give
you a high pair for a five-coin payout.
There are four of each of those cards
in a deck. You hold three of them in
your hand. Therefore, there are nine of
these high cards left in the remaining
47 cards that will give you a high pair
and a 20 coin pay out.
The last possible result is the one
you are praying for; namely, drawing
the king of diamonds, which will
give you a royal flush and a big 4,000
coin pay out. (There is only 1 king of
diamond in the 47 remaining cards;
therefore, the odds of this happening
are 1/47.)
There are no other possible winning
hands when you hold a J-Q-A-10 in
hearts and draw one card (e.g., you
can’t get two pair, or four-of-a-kind or
even a straight flush).
I’ve tabulated the possible results of
drawing one card to the Jh-Qh-Ah-10h
in the table below. The first column
shows the possible winning results,
the second column summarizes the
number of times you could get each
result, the next column shows the
probability of getting each result, and
the fourth column is the product of the
probability times the payoff. If you
sum the last column, you arrive at an
expected value (or EV) of 92 coins.
The latter is the average payback you
can expect when drawing one card to
a four-card royal flush, after an infinite
number of trials.
Putting this into perspective, let’s
assume you are a dollar player playing
$5 per hand (max coins). If you
decided to hold the paying flush, your
return will be a certain $30. If instead,
you decide to hold the four-card royal
flush, your average payback will be
about $92. Yes, some of the times
you will win nothing when you draw
one card and don’t get a royal flush,
flush, straight, or high pair (that will
happen 27 times out of 47); other
times, you’ll get a flush and win $30
(probability 7/47), or get a $20 payoff
for a straight (3/47), a $5 payout for a
high pair (9/47), and, if you are lucky,
a whopping $4,000 payout for a royal
flush (1/47).
When you average all the possible
payouts for this hand times the
probability that each winning hand
will occur, your average payback will
be $92, which is slightly more than
three times the certain $30 payback
for holding the paying flush. Unless
you plan to play one video poker
hand in your lifetime, a $92 average
payback in the long run (by tossing
the winning flush) is a whole lot better
than a certain $30 payback (by holding
the flush).

Sfslac - Selma Police Barbecue Team
Background Check
Well, I did it. The ad said I would
be jaw-dropping stunned, and I was. I
can’t begin to tell you how many times
the ad has interrupted my work and I
just clicked on that little x in the upper
right hand corner. But that guy who
looks up the dirt on almost everyone
was not to be denied and I finally gave
in. He protected himself (he thinks)
from lawsuits by forcing the snoop to
promise not to tell anyone what was
learned.
I scanned my list of friends and
decided that I already knew most of
them better than anyone else. After
all, we do meet together on a regular
basis and discuss our faults and
failures and pray for each other in our
struggle to conquer them. How could
I acknowledge to them that I was so
nosy as to “investigate” them?
There was just one thing to do. With
trembling fingers I typed in my own
name. And yes, I am stunned…not
so much by what he knew as what he
didn’t know. My kids will be stunned,
too, when they find out I never had
any children. I can hear it now. “Gosh
Mom, who are you leaving your car
to?” And what about the stories I told
them about their Daddy in heaven?
I’ve got some explaining to do…even
to myself.
You see, I have always thought
my life was exciting and fulfilling. I
tried everything I wanted to do and
I have been happy doing it. I taught
school, directed a ballet, co-founded a
homeless shelter and wrote a few books
about Bingo. I always wanted to go to
law school. I applied and was accepted
at the age of 58, but just didn’t have
time, because we wintered in Florida,
and the school just wouldn’t rearrange
their schedule to accommodate us.
Now that it is too late to change my
life journey I find out that I have never
sat for a mug shot, been incarcerated,
finger printed or accused of a felony.
I have never been the recipient of a
windfall via divorce, I don’t remember
moving several times to several states
and I wonder who all those people are
that I have always called my relatives. I
have never had an unpleasant encounter
with a police officer. I am almost sure
my memory is still intact.
Why else would I regret that someone
out there has my debit card numbers
and I am out a dollar ninety-five?
