Apparently, Feb. 29 is a big day at Mardi Gras casino.

The casino's Jester’s Leap Year Jam already has almost every machine in use, as of 2 p.m. Friday, according to Mardi Gras' Michelle Dingcong.

"The lines are already out the door," she said.

Still to come: at 7p.m., the first 1,000 Players Club members with their coupons will receive a Mardi Gras logo watch. Those who have their Player’s Card inserted in a slot machine during the Jester Jamboree’s random selection every hour from 7 to 9 p.m. will be eligible to win $500.

The cruise ship industry reports business is down, and one theory being floated is that the slots players are preferring the on-land casinos.

And the thought is the gambling-boat market could get worse: blackjack is coming to the Indian casinos (caveat: there's the thing called a compact and ...) and that's one factor that made the cruise ships unique.

The gambling boat officials point to the economy. Just not enough disposable income floating around out there (sorry!).

So, I'm wondering. Are you cruising less because of the casinos?

To quote Gregory Lewis: Holler back.

So, I had a spare Friday night, and got to hit the bar poker tournament at the Sports Rock Lounge in Pembroke Pines (1828 North University Dr Pembroke Pines 954-704-0290) and left with some valuable multi-table experience.

There were about 100 players -- Friday is the weekly winners' tournament night in the circuit of tournaments operated by Bar Poker Pros. (www. barpokerpros.com). They have about six to eight tournaments a night, mostly across Broward, and

(I'm trying to hit all the bar poker groups I can and at least get them up there, and eventually want to do a list of them on this blog, so, folks, email me links, please.)

Well-organized tournament (Steve, the organizer has casino management experience and his dealers also work all over the place), nice folks at the table, and pretty good play. Not too much limping going on, but certainly not overwrought with all-in bluster, either. Mainly, seemed like the players knew the luck factor cards play: sometimes you outplay people and win, other times, they outplay you, only for you to come through on a suck-out. I sat next to an older lady named Mame, who I liked even though she was originally from New York.

We started with about 4,000 units and I hung in there for about 90 minutes, until the blinds got to 500-1000 and I looked down and still had my 4,000. Gotta learn to try to built it up, not be so passive. So, two hands before the blinds were coming to me and on a hand the chip bully folded on, I went all in with K-9 and lost.

Which brings the question: Anyone have a formula on how to build up chips? Double every hour?

One other quick comment: Bar Poker Pros is trying a rare weekday afternoon outing. It's at 2 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays at Hurricane Grill & Wings, 1905 N. Pine Island Road (Jacaranda Square) in Plantation. Call 954-475-8815.

NFL alumni and current NFL cheerleaders will wash cars for charity from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek west parking lot.

Cost is $10 per car, $20 per truck. The casino is giving $10 in free play back.

Among the players:
Bobby Harden, Dolphins safety from 1990-93; Kerry Glenn, Jets and Dolphins from 1985-92; Dwight Stephenson, Dolphins from 1980 - 87; John Harris, former safety with the Vikings and Seahawks, and Larry Ball, from the 1972 team, which you might have heard of their place in history.

Donations go to the non-profit NFL Alumni Association’s Caring for Kids program.

Based in Fort Lauderdale and composed mostly of former NFL players, the association operates under the motto “Caring For Kids.”

And, just to make sure you know: the players are 'former.' The cheerleaders are current.
A good mix.

So, the bad beat jackpot built up to $233,400 before it hit Sunday night at Palm Beach Kennel Club.

Charles Infantolino's four queens in a game of 7-card stud won him $116,700.

The jackpot had been going for almost two month and is believed to be a record for Florida poker rooms, which just got the OK to operate jackpots back on July 1, when the state changed some gambling rules.

Infantolino, 64, lost to Tasha Johnson, who had a straight flush: A through 5 of spades. Johnson, 29, of Riviera Beach won $58,350.

So, here come the questions:

1.) Because PB Kennel combines the Omaha, 7-Stud and Hold 'em jackpots, are you, as a Hold'em player, a little ticked off, even though the club weights the hands so there's no advantage to play one game or another?

2.) If you won, how much would you tip the dealer?

3.) I'm trying to catch up with Infantolino, but am failing. If you hit it big, would you go into hiding?

News out of the Boyd Gaming public meeting today is that plans to makeover Dania Jai-Alai are being delayed. Reasons cited: the economy and the 50 percent tax currently imposed by the Florida Legislature.

Some legislators have changes to the current 50 percent tax on the board, and depending on whether they go through or not, Boyd will consider, officials said at the meeting.

The delay further depresses spirits at the fronton, which is almost empty for jai-alai matches and has a spacious (read: underused) poker room. Fronton officials offer $5 multitable tournaments at 3 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays just to get people into the door.

Can't hardly blame Boyd, though, a public company that has to report to its shareholders. When the payoff on slots is only $200 per machine per day, it's pretty hard to pump millions into a project -- and takes a very long time for a company to get its money back.

Every casino I walk into, I'm surprised about how versed the patrons -- and the staff -- are about Tallahassee's role in gambling in the state.

If you're a little behind, our John Holland tries to get you caught up with a q-and-a about the recent gambling compact between the state and the Seminole Indians.

Meanwhile, they finally hit the bad beat at Palm Beach Kennel; a straight flush beat out four queens in a game of 7-stud. More details later.

Filling out your Oscar pool today or over the weekend and you haven't seen any of the nominated films (welcome to the club)?

For what it's worth, here's how the offshore betting site Bookmaker.com rates some of the key races. Bear in mind the favorites don't always win in any competition and that betting on these sites is against the law. But these odds, unlike the ones you see posted from Las Vegas, can actually be bet on, so some thorough research went into them.

Daniel-Day Lewis is considered close to a sure thing as best actor for There Will Be Blood. You'd have to bet $15 to win $1 on him. Only a fool would do that but on a pool ticket, it's like a free space.

Julie Christie is also an odds-on pick for best actress for Away From Her but not nearly as strong as D-DL.. You'd have to lay a little more than $3 to win $1.

Javier Bardem is almost as solid a choice for supporting actor for No Country for Old Men. It would take a $13 wager to win $1. Looks like another sure check mark.

Cate Blanchett (I'm Not There) and Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone) are practically co-choices for supporting actress. If you want to split hairs, Blanchett is the slightest of favorites.

No Country for Old Men is a fairly strong choice as best picture although There Will Be Blood would not be the upset of the century.

It would be a major upset if the Coen Brothers don't take the directing prize for No Country for Old Men. Their film is also the one to beat in the adapted screenplay category.

In the category that's often a pool ticket killer, foreign film, Mongol is a slight favorite over Katyn with the others real longshots.

Another tough category, because no one ever sees them, short films, boils down to Madame Tutli Putli and Peter and the Wolf, according to Bookmaker.com.

You're on your own for the rest of them.

NASCAR drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne, Jeff Burton and Dale Earnhardt Sr. will now have their mugs on poker chips.

The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is unveiling the new chips Monday, with Jeff Gordon. They’ll be for sale at the poker cashier cage for $5.

A different chip will be available every Monday through April 14. The schedule: Jeff Burton on March 3, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. on March 10, Jimmie Johnson on March 17, Dale Earnhardt on March 24, Clint Bowyer on March 31, Kevin Harvick on April 7, and Kasey Kahne on April 14.

According to the casino, Seminole Hard Rock’s director of poker, Peter Arsenis, is pleased with the addition of these collectable chips and the buzz it will create on the poker floor. “NASCAR has a loyal fan base attracting people from all over the country. We hope to capitalize on its popularity especially in South Florida by creating some excitement among poker players and casino guests."

It's the second Seminole Hard Rock casino to have the chips, behind Tampa, and will expand to four other properties, the casino says.

As if a casino doesn't carry enough hope: The Seminole Casino Coconut Creek general manager is offering patrons $1 million if debris from the recently obliterated U.S. spy satellite falls on his property.

"They hit it with one shot, so we'll give our patrons one shot," General Manager Steve Bonner said Thursday afternoon.

Bonner says that if any portion of the exploded satellite lands on his turf, he'll have a $1 million drawing. Experts say the debris may take a few days to fall, so the offer ends March 10 (not coincidentally, the date Class III slots debut at the casino, 5550 NW 40th St.). The casino decides whether any debris found is other-wordly, and not planted by patrons with a get-rich-quick scheme in mind.

To push the stunt one step further, Bonner said he is having workers paint a bull's-eye on the casino, likely on Friday.

Palm Beach Kennel reports that its bad beat jackpot, which I wrote about last week, has grown to over $210,000.

You know, I'm wondering if at some point it's affecting action negatively: in other words, everyone gets their cards, no one drives anyone out in case they hit the jackpot, especially if there's two pair on the board.

How would you play it?

How bad are the stripped down Marlins going to be this season? Just about the worst in baseball, according to an offshore gambling site, Bookmaker.com, which puts its money behind its opinions.

The first estimates of the regular season win totals have been posted and the Marlins over/under is 68 1/2 wins. In other words, if you bet over, they have to win 69. If you go under, they can win no more than 68. (They won 71 last season.)

The Pittsburgh Pirates also are at 68 1/2. No team in the National League is lower. The Baltimore Orioles have the distinction of bottoming out both leagues at 65 wins.

As usual, the Yankees are Red Sox have the highest totals, 94 wins. The Mets are high in the National League at 92 1/2.

If you are a hopeless dreamer, you can get 35-1 that the Marlins will win the National League East, 65-1 that they will capture the National League pennant and 100-1 that the team will take its third World Series.

If you are so inclined (delusional), go for the 35-1 on the division. The Marlins would then have to go into three post-season series to win it all. Trust me, they would be substantial underdogs in each.

Let's say you bet $100. Your division return would be $3,600.

Even if you had to take even-money in the first playoff series, and take your original $100 out, this would net you $7,000. Same thing in round two would bring back $14,000. Double up on the Series and you could win $28,000. The actually parlay figure would probably be as much as $50K.

This is a lot better than 100-1 on a $100 World Series bet, which would net only $10,100.

(Obligatory disclaimer: betting through offshore websites is against the law.)

When I go to the track, I’ll put $5 to win on a horse if I like it. If I love a horse, I’ll shell out $10 or $20.

But I can’t imagine anybody in their right mind doing the same thing with their Lotto picks.

As in, “I really like my chances of hitting the 4-11-17-26-39-44 this week. So I’m going to put $3 on those numbers, not just $1.”

Yet that’s what the state is about to allow, in an effort to boost Lotto revenues.

Starting March 5, the Florida Lottery will let Lotto players increase their potential winnings by selling add-on bets to each set of picked numbers.

Those who play the minimum $1 will be eligible for the standard jackpot pool. Those who play for $2 will get an additional $10 million if their numbers hit. And those who play for $3 will get an additional $25 million if they pick all six numbers.

My reaction: Anybody who buys the add-on has to be nuts.

Lotto is already the biggest sucker bet going. For somebody to double or triple their bet on a 23 million-to-1 shot is madness. Shame on the state for trying to boost revenues this way.

Here’s what would have been a better idea: Lowering the minimum bet to 10 cents.

It’s something racetracks have done with longshot gimmick bets such as superfectas. By lowering the minimum, people can get much more bang for their buck, as in 10 different combinations instead of 1.

Imagine if you could get 50 sets of Lotto numbers, not just five, for your weekly $5 quick pick.

That’s something even a sporadic Lotto player like myself could get on board with, even if it meant getting a smaller share of a jackpot.

What do you think? Do you play Lotto? And will you plunk down the extra buck or two for the add-on jackpot?

Poker players have their eyes on a big jackpot at Palm Beach Kennel Club.

The "bad beat" jackpot at the poker room has grown to over $187,000, the highest ever in a state-regulated casino.

A "bad beat" occurs when one player has a seemingly unbeatable hand, only to lose. Example: Your four jacks lose to someone's four queens. When a bad beat jackpot hits, the person who lost gets half the jackpot, the hand winner gets one-fourth, and the rest of the table splits what's left.

Poker action has picked up considerably at Palm Beach Kennel, Card room manager Noah Carbone said.

"It's been a tremendous boost for business," he said. "You'll hear a table where it gets close get louder, then quiet down. But someone's going to hit it."

The jackpot, creating by the club pulling $1 per hand played at each table, has been building for 47 days. It usually hits every nine days, he said. Previous record: $70,000 or so. At Dania, the bad beat hit $52,000 recently (see my Feb. 6 post below; FYI, their PR was wrong, the loser had Aces over Jacks).

In Texas Hold 'em, the minimum hand for a bad beat at PB Kennel is a full house of Aces over jacks. Because there is now such a high payoff for two players to hit four-of-a-kind, for example, at a table, players are staying in with hands they normally wouldn't, Carbone notes.

"People who normally would fold small pairs are trying to hit the quads. It makes sense mathematically because the payout is so high," he said.

PB Kennel also has 7-card stud and Omaha players, and those players are rolled into the same bad beat jackpot, Carbone said. The card room has about 40 tables, usually 30 are the $100 buy-in no-limit Texas Hold' em, 4-5 are low-limit Hold'em, 4-5 are 7-card stud and one Omaha, he said.

To hit a bad beat in 7-card stud, a player must have at least four deuces. In Omaha, at least four jacks. Many places have separate jackpots, he said.

"We wanted the players to still play their favorite games. Not have the stud players obligated to play Hold ‘em," he said. "We did extensive research and ran simulations and projected what level to make it fair."

The strategy also changes for those with killer hands, or should, he said. He noted that one player had four of a kind, and overbet to run other players out. Had she checked, another player would have hit a hand high enough to make for a bad beat.

"It was an $85,000 decision," Carbone said.

I've been holding off on writing about these guys until we get some space in the print version of the Sun-Sentinel, but now I kind of have to. As Leonardo DiCaprio said in Titantic: Hey, I'm involved.

I listen to Poker Talk America on WBZT almost every day from 4-5 p.m., getting tips and insight from the hosts, including Frank Greentree and Antonio Pinzari.

Antonio always says stuff I don't know, and he does seminars that I'd think would be pretty good. (Although I'm also partial to the WPT Boot Camps, which I sat in on once and heard Clonie Gowen and Alex Outhred.)

So earlier this week, he's giving away seminars. Just answer the question: If you have 2 suited cards, what are the odds of flopping a flush?

I knew: it's 118 to 1. Frank had said it the week before.

So, I'm taking the seminar ASAP. And I'll have them start posting their programming stuff each week, because, if you're like me, you need all the help you can get.

Props to the developers of The Isle at Pompano Park. The place has a great feel to it. Nicely designed. Good vibe. Decent slots.

I think it’s a class operation.

So imagine my surprise Saturday when the dinner I ordered at the upstairs bar -- paid for with slot winnings, I'm happy to say -- was delivered to me in to-go containers.

I got my Caesar salad and a gourmet pizza as if I had ordered them in my skivvies at home. The flatware was like something you’d get from a fast-food place -- plastic utensils, salt and pepper and a napkin wrapped in a cellophane sleeve.

“There must be some confusion,“ I said. “I’m going to eat this here.”

But that’s the way they serve food at the bar at The Isle.

I was a little apprehensive when I asked to see a menu and got a tri-folded sheet of paper that looked like it came off a copier. The menu was small, but it was from Bragozzo - chef Luke Palladino’s Italian eatery and wine bar.

I thought about sending it back, but I was hungry. And inside the cheesy packaging, the food was great. The salad greens were fresh and crisp, the dressing thick. The pizza was excellent, especially the light and thin crust.

But to sit at a nicely appointed bar in what purports to be a high-class establishment, eating out of cardboard boxes, brought The Isle down a notch. And it did not go unnoticed. I got several looks and comments from patrons.

“Where’d that come from?”

“You order that here?”

I’ll still go to The Isle. But I won’t order from the bar. Perhaps I’ll take a table at Bragozzo. Or try one of the many other restaurants there.

Have you eaten at The Isle? How was your experience?

I'm taking the easy way out today, referring to three of our on-line stories. Something for everyone.

First, the challenge to Gov. Crist's gambling compact continues.

Second, someone hit the Fantasy 5 in Miramar.

And third, football fans may have liked the New York Giants, but the bookies sure didn't. They lost their tails.

The Dania Jai-Alai Card Room gave away the Bad Beat Jackpot last week, a total of $52,652. Jason Carruth was the lucky loser of the hand and took home half of the Bad Beat, $26,326. The winner of the hand, Philip Liss, won not only the pot on the table, but an additional $13,163 Bad Beat bonus. The remaining players at the table split the remainder, also $13,163.

A bad beat jackpot is won when a player has a usually unbeatable hand, but is still beaten. Carruth finished the hand with a full house, three aces and two tens. He lost to Liss, who took the table pot with four tens. (Two in his hand and two on the flop-turn-river.)

A response to an earlier post on which TV poker show do you watch piqued my interest.

The reader said he prefers "High Stakes Poker" on the Game Show Network.

First, I have Comcast, and after about six months and eight technician visits (honest!) I figured out how to use the extra channels switch and access channels higher than 78.

It was worth it, for Fit TV, and for the High Stakes Poker.

I liked the players' dialogue on the show, and learned about "straddle" blinds and people playing out a hand twice. I know, I don't play much.

Heck of a show, though. Heck of a show.

Twelve points too many to lay on the Patriots in the Super Bowl but you don't really like the Giants and you can't make up your mind on whether there will be more or fewer total points than 54? There are still myriad ways to enjoy the game with more than an emotional rooting interest.

As always, there are more Super Bowl prop bets than there are players on both sidelines. You can get in action fast; there's a line on the coin toss. Either way it's minus 115.

(For future refernce, all odds are based on a $100 multiple. Minus 115 means you lay $115 to win $100--$215 total. In cases where the line is not even, minus 200, for example, translates to laying $200 to win $100 on the favored side. Plus $160 on the underdog means you get back $160 plus the $100 wagered. All lines quoted are from Sportsbook.com, so they are for entertainment purposes only (they make me say that) since betting with an offshore wagering site is illegal in the United States, which should have more urgent things to police.

Maybe you have a feeling about who will win the coin toss. Either way, it's also minus 115.

Think Tom Brady's passing yardage will exceed Eli Manning's by more than 97 1/2 yards? You can get plus 160. If you want to take the yards with Manning, it's minus 200.

Counting just completions, Brady less 2 1/2 is minus 250. Manning with the spot is plus 200.

Brady's total completions is minus 130 for over 25 1/2, even money for under.

You have to lay 290 if you think Brady's first pass will be completed and can take back 230 if you think it will be incomplete. Manning is minus 180 for a completion, plus 150 for an errant throw.

Brady's passing total is set at 274 1/2 yards. Over is minus 215, under plus 175. For Manning, it's 191 1/2 yards with the over at minus 220, the under plus 180.

(For novices, the disparity in prices is known as the "vig." It's the way, theoretically, bookies make their money, regardless of the outcome. The half-points are designed to eliminate ties.)

Maybe you prefer the running game. You can get 20 1/2 yards with the Giants' Brandon Jacobs against the Patriots Laurence Maroney. Either way, you lay 115.

Maybe you're into the team game. If you think the Giants will score first, you can get plus 150. For the Patriots you have to lay 180.

Front-runners might be interested in the "team that scores first wins the game" prop. Yes is minus 240; no plus 190.

Think the first score of the game will be a touchdown? The bookies do. It's minus 215. If you think it will be a field goal or safety, the take back is plus 175.

Those who like to back longshots have a couple of interesting opportunities. You can get 8-1 that there will be a safety but you have to lay 13-1 if you are a naysayer.

Taking the game to go into overtime will get you back 9-1 but you have to put up 14-1 to say no.

There's even a price on the bane of sports: instant replay. You can take either team to use the first coach's challenge for minus 115.

The most delicious irony of all this is how the sanctimonius NFL is beng used as the official arbiter. Sportsbook.com. decrees that all bets will be paid off according to the official stats posted on www.nfl.com.

I play in a home game that's pretty loose, so I can't narrow down the possibilities enough to put players on high cards like Joe Beevers does here at the WSOP.

But I still think I can apply the same logic of figuring out what an overbet really means. Plus, I agree, the better you play, the more hands you don't run all the way down to the river.

Meanwhile, Super Bowl XLII is Sunday. Looking for some good prop bets, if anyone out there has anything going.
