FDrom the Publisher...
o you join in the fun each month at your favorite casino, and take advantage of casino promotions? We hope you do. Look at our cover feature this month on pages 18–20, to see a group of happy casino jackpot and promotion winners. Contributor Gail Anders writes about winning and winners of the past few
months at featured Southern California casinos. All the promotion winners were players club members and if you’re not one, it’s definitely time to sign up at every casino you visit. You may just end up winning a brand new car, cash, prizes and travel!
I hope you voted for your favorite slot games in the first annual Southern California Gaming Guide Best SlotsTM. Your write-in choices are being tallied this month, and will determine the 2012 Best Slots. Just a few of the slot categories are Best Video Slot, Best Reel Slot, Best Slot Innovation, plus Best Casino Slot Floor, Best Casino Players Club, Best Casino Slot Tournaments, and more! April 30th was the last day you could vote online and by the ballot that appeared in the April issue. The Reader’s Choice 2012 Southern California Gaming Guide Best Slots will be announced in the June 2012 issue. We hope you will be one of the cash and prize drawing winners. Southern California casinos and their guests love a party, and there are a number of celebrations this May at
casinos. On Saturday, May 5th, celebrate Cinco de Mayo, where you can enjoy great food, special entertainment, and bingo events. Read about the Cinco de Mayo celebrations at featured casinos on page 10.
And I’m sure you won’t forget Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 13th. It’s the perfect day—you could even make it a weekend — to celebrate Mom, or the special woman in your life, at your favorite casino. Southern California casinos have wonderful Mother’s Day feasts, giveaways, special promotions, poker, and bingo events. Read about Mother’s Day celebrations at featured casinos on page 16.

The end of the month brings our national day of remembrance, Memorial Day, on Monday, May 28th, to honor those who have served the nation. Here at the Southern California Gaming Guide, we take this opportunity to remember servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and we thank their families.
And to those in military service everywhere, we appreciate you, and look forward to your safe and speedy return. Enjoy the May holidays and weekends, and remember to always keep your casino play fun.
