Spotlight 29 casino is proud to welcome multiple Grammy winner, Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee and legendary blues artist Etta James and the Roots Band on September 27. Also appearing are special guests Tower of Power, the band critics call “the premiere bastion of true soul and funk in modern music,” who are on their 40th anniversary tour.
James’ distinguished career spans five decades, making her a true legend in the recording industry. She is a three-time Grammy award winner, NARAS Lifetime Achievement, Rhythm & Blues Foundation Pioneer awardee and W.C. Handy Blues Foundation honoree, and even has her own star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
James has an incredible list of landmark hits to her credit, including her signature tune, “At Last,” along with “All I Could Do Was Cry,”"My Dearest Darling,”"Trust In Me,”"Something’s Got A Hold On Me,”"Tell Mama,”"Fool That I Am” and “Don’t Cry Baby.” In the 1960s, she had a run of charting records that ranked her as one of the most prolific female R&B vocalists of her era.
James was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1993, and two years later, she won her first Grammy, after nine previous nominations. Her second Grammy came in 2003 and her third in 2005 in the Traditional Blues Album category for the album Blues to the Bone.
With 40 years of recording and touring experience, critics still refer to Tower of Power as “a very contemporary sounding band.” With a sound that is hard to describe and best just experienced, Tower of Power blends jazz, funk, rock and soul in a way no group ever has.
Formed in San Francisco during the city’s psychedelic era, Tower of Power has toured and recorded with the industry’s top names, including Elton John, Smokey Robinson, Rod Stewart and Dionne Warwick, and has influenced countless others across generations. The band continues to sell out venues across North America, Europe and Japan, drawing old and new fans, who will often plan their vacations around a Tower of Power concert.
Today the band is fronted by founders Emilio Castillo and Stephen “Doc” Kupka, along with Francis Rocco Prestia, David Garibaldi, Larry Braggs, Roger Smith, Tom E. Politzer, Adolfo Acosta, Michael (Iron Mike) Bogart and Mark Harper.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Tien Duc Vu, 50, pleaded guilty today in San Diego to conspiring to participate in a racketeering enterprise, the “Tran Organization,” in a scheme to cheat casinos across the country out of millions of dollars, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division Matthew Friedrich, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California Karen P. Hewitt and U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington Jeffrey C. Sullivan announced today. Vu also pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit theft from the Nooksack River Casino, an Indian tribal gaming establishment near Deming, Wash.
A three-count indictment was returned in San Diego on May 22, 2007, and unsealed on May 24, 2007, charging Vu and 13 others each with one count of conspiracy to participate in the affairs of a racketeering enterprise; one count of conspiracy to commit several offenses against the U.S., including conspiracy to steal money and other property from Indian tribal casinos; and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. As part of his plea agreement, Vu agreed to have a separate indictment against him transferred to San Diego for plea purposes. The separate indictment, unsealed on May 24, 2007, in the Western District of Washington, charged Vu and four others for alleged violations related to card-cheating activity at the Nooksack River Casino.
The San Diego indictment also charged five separate individuals each with one count of conspiracy to commit several offenses against the U.S., including conspiracy to steal money and other property from Indian tribal casinos; and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
In his plea agreement, Vu admitted that on numerous occasions between approximately early 2005 and late 2005, he participated in gambling cheats together with other alleged members of the Tran Organization at casinos. These casinos include Nooksack River Casino in Deming, Wash.; Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi, Miss.; Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Conn.; and L’Auberge du Lac Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, La.
Vu also admitted in his plea agreement that he and his co-conspirators unlawfully obtained up to $2.5 million during card cheats. In addition, Vu agreed to the forfeiture of $53,500, in the form of a personal money judgment. He also acknowledged that the restitution that he may be ordered to pay by the court at sentencing is not limited by the forfeiture amount.
According to the indictment, the defendants and others executed a “false shuffle” cheating scheme at some of the listed casinos during blackjack and mini-baccarat games. The indictment alleges that members of the criminal organization bribed casino card dealers and supervisors to perform false shuffles during card games, thereby creating “slugs” of un-shuffled cards. The indictment also alleges that after tracking the order of cards dealt in a card game, a member of the organization would signal to the card dealer to perform a “false shuffle,” and members of the group would then bet on the known order of cards when the slug appeared on the table. By doing so, members of the conspiracy repeatedly won thousands of dollars during card games - totaling up to $868,000 on one occasion.
Furthermore, the indictment alleges that the members of the organization used sophisticated mechanisms for tracking the order of cards during games, including hidden transmitter devices and specially created software that would predict the order in which cards would reappear during mini-baccarat and blackjack games.
An indictment is merely an allegation and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Vu’s sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 8, 2008 in San Diego, before U.S. District Judge John A. Houston, in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. At sentencing, Vu faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on the racketeering conspiracy charge and a maximum of five years in prison on the conspiracy charge relating to theft from an Indian tribal gaming establishment.
Vu is the twelfth defendant to plead guilty in the San Diego indictment. Phuong Quoc Truong, Anh Phuong Tran, Martin Lee Aronson, Liem Thanh Lam, George Michael Lee, Son Hong Johnson, Barry Wellford, Willy Tran, Tuan Mong Le, Duc Cong Nguyen and Han Truong Nguyen have all pleaded guilty to charges against them related to this scheme. Han Truong Nguyen was sentenced on May 12, 2008, to 27 months in prison and ordered to pay $1,896,659 in restitution, payable to designated victims in the case. Nguyen was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release. The remaining defendants who pleaded guilty are awaiting sentencing.
The case is being investigated by the FBI’s San Diego Field Office; the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation; the San Diego Sheriff’s Department; and the California Department of Justice’s Bureau of gambling Control. The investigation has received assistance from federal, state, tribal and foreign authorities, including: the Ontario Provincial Police; the National Indian Gaming Commission; the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington; FBI Resident Agencies in Gulfport, Miss., Tacoma, Wash., and Toledo, Ohio; the Indiana State Police; the Rumsey Rancheria Tribal Gaming Agency; the Sycuan Gaming Commission; the Barona Gaming Commission; the Mississippi Gaming Commission; the Washington State gambling Commission; and others.
The prosecution of the case is led by the Criminal Division’s Organized Crime and Racketeering Section (OCRS). Department of Justice Trial Attorneys Joseph K. Wheatley, Robert S. Tully and Gavin A. Corn are prosecuting the indictment in San Diego. Assistant U.S. Attorney J. Tate London of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington is prosecuting the case in Seattle relating to alleged cheating at the Nooksack River Casino.

HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Susan Hensel, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s Director of the Bureau of Licensing, will be part of a panel discussion on gaming at the 48th Annual Meeting and Regional Policy Forum held by the Council of State Governments. The event will be held August 10-13, 2008 at the Sheraton Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The panel discussion will explore the economic benefits and challenges facing both state governments and operators during difficult economic times. Hensel will make a presentation on the status of slot gaming in Pennsylvania including the generation of tax revenues, job creation, and the impact of these businesses on good and services vendors.
The write up for the panel discussion reads: “Legalized Gaming has become an economic driver for many states, bringing jobs, capital construction and needed tax revenue. However, as gaming and competition expands and the economy and gas prices take a toll on discretionary income, demands are increasing for both state governments and operators. This panel, consisting of both state regulators and representatives of the gaming industry will explore the economic benefits and challenges facing gaming.”
Hensel will be joined by Joseph A. Corbo, Jr., President, casino Association of New Jersey, and Vice President and General Counsel, Borgata Hotel casino & Spa; Linda M. Kassekert, Chair, New Jersey casino Control Commission; Ed Suttor, President & CEO, Dover Downs Hotel & Casino; Mr. George Henningsen, Chairman, Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Gaming.
Since the opening of the first Pennsylvania slots casino in November 2006, legalized slots gaming has generated over $1.6 billion in revenues. These funds are being used to provide general property tax relief to all Pennsylvania homeowners, more than double those eligible to receive rebates under the property tax and rent rebate program for seniors, reinvigorate the state’s horse racing industry, and provide thousands of new living wage jobs.
In addition, the seven slot machine casinos currently in operation have injected over $96 million of new revenue into the budgets of the county and local governments that serve as hosts to these facilities. During the next year, two facilities that have received licensing are scheduled to open while two existing licensed facilities are slated to significantly expand.
Hensel, who was one of the first employees of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, was named to head the Bureau of Licensing in November 2005.
Hensel is also the currently the Executive Secretary of the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR), which is made up of twelve regulators from throughout the world, including Australia, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, South Africa, United Kingdom and the United States. Before joining the Gaming Board, Hensel worked on gaming implementation issues as a Special Assistant to then-Pennsylvania Secretary of Revenue Gregory C. Fajt. Before joining the Revenue Department, Hensel was an Assistant General Counsel in the Governor’s Office of General Counsel; a Staff Attorney at the state Office of Inspector General; and Executive Assistant to the Pennsylvania Secretary of Labor & Industry. She was also a general assignment reporter at WHP-TV in Harrisburg and a news producer at WISN in Milwaukee. Hensel earned her J.D. degree from Widener University Law School in Harrisburg, where she graduated cum laude from the evening division and was on the staff of the Law Review. She earned a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
A complete biography for Hensel is available on the Gaming Control Board’s web site at under the About PGCB/Executive Staff tab.
Established in 1933, the Council of State Governments (CSG) is a non-partisan, public, non-profit organization that provides information, research, and training to state officials in all 50 states and U.S. territories.

COON RAPIDS, Minn., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ — When Donny Miller was studying to be a civil engineer, his math professor gave him and two of his fellow students an extra credit assignment for Calculus III: assessing probabilities related to the roulette wheel. They became so intrigued that even after completing the assignment, they looked for a way to beat the wheel. That was the beginning of the strategy dubbed “Every Spin Wins” ().
Miller created the math theory that resulted in his simple easy-to-learn, easy-to-master betting system. While his college pals have opted to enjoy the benefits of the strategy for themselves, Miller decided to share it with others. After two years of providing private training to a select group of students, he partnered with one of his first students, Nicholas Cenaiko, to create EverySpinWins.com, offering the general public a home study course complete with a DVD set and illustrated print manual.
One of the questions answered by the course was whether or not a roulette wheel has a “memory.” According to Cenaiko, “Many people think that if black comes up 10 or 12 times, red must surely be due to come up soon. So they start betting in that direction. But gaming statistics are based on all tables, so what if while one table has 12 spins black, another table across the room or across the street has 12 spins red at the same time? That’s something to think about.”
By simply covering 100 percent of the wheel, but at different levels of chips and at different odds, Miller’s strategy enables players to win additional chips with each spin. Trainees win increments of $500 to $2,000 per sitting and so go unnoticed when they visit casinos. Miller still enjoys going to casinos unnoticed to this day.
The course DVDs were filmed in a private setting but with a real roulette wheel and table. “Though the manuals would be enough, nothing compares to the actual ’seeing is believing’ experience that you can have through the DVDs and their step-by-step instructions,” explained Cenaiko.
The Every Spin Wins Web site went live in late June with no advertising, just word-of-mouth. However, it has already sold more than 100 courses. Visitors to the Web site can see testimonials from those first purchasers.
Buyers receive access to Miller himself via his business telephone number and personal e-mail address, which are included in the course materials. In addition, they can try out the home study course for a full year and if unsatisfied, return it for a refund.
The course will be available for a special price of $795 until September 10, 2008 when it will increase to $1,394. For more information, visit .

Construction of the $300 million casino, located on Michigan Avenue near Exit 104 of Interstate 94, began on May 7, 2008, and is moving forward according to schedule.
“The Tribe is very pleased with the progress that we are making in the construction of FireKeepers Casino,” said Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Tribal Chairperson, Laura Spurr. “We have waited a long time to bring economic development and jobs to not only tribal members but also to the greater Calhoun County region.”
