Summer Thrills and Fun at the Casino
When I rst saw the new eBayTM Video Slots I was amazed—and you will be, too. Before you even sit down to play, the sheer e ect of the display of this exciting new game is literally awesome. And once you do play eBayTM Video Slots and experience the thrilling community bonus, you will play
the game again and again. Read about this incredible new slot starting on page 18.
Summer is here, and it’s time to head for the cool casino. Southern California casinos o er their guests a wide variety of exciting events. Of course there are the thrilling slots, table games, poker and blackjack; but
many casinos also have bingo, headlining entertainment, fun lounges and bars, gorgeous cool-down pools, and fantastic dining. On page 27 take a look at just a few Casino Summer Specials for July.
Celebrate July Fourth this year with a host of casino events, from free concerts and reworks to poker tournaments and bingo marathons. See page 8 for July Fourth weekend celebrations at the casinos.
If you are concerned about gas prices, as we all are these days, take a look at page 27 for the gas giveaways that some Southern California casinos are o ering their guests in July. And don’t forget, many casinos have multiple bus routes to their casinos, so why not relax and leave the driving to the casinos. See the Bus Schedules on pages 24–26. If you’re going to the casino less often these days, take a look at About Gambling on page 6 to learn about how to maximize each of your casino visits.
