| The Horseshoe Casino in Hammond recently added another dining option to its dazzling array of restaurants. J.B.'s Gourmet Sandwiches & Salads opened to the public on Monday, December 8. It is located on the second level of the pavilion previously occupied by the gift shop, which was moved to the first floor. More than a dozen gourmet sandwiches are on the menu, including a scrambled egg, apple smoked bacon and Wisconsin cheddar cheese Panini served hot on grilled Italian bread and served with a fruit cup for $4.50. There's also the signature nine-ounce Jack Binion Burger, as well as an emphasis on Asian cuisine. J.B.'s Gourmet Sandwiches and Salads is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When diners present their Winner's Circle player's card upon ordering they'll receive a 15 percent discount. Chicago-area casinos support charitable causes the year 'round, but it's at holiday time that they can really make a difference. Harrah's East Chicago Hotel & Casino, for example, pitched in to help make the Food For Friends Thanksgiving Eve dinner at the Pacific Garden Mission on South State Street a success. Harrah's donated cash, food, a chef and a team of servers to host dinner for nearly 600 homeless and needy people. Similarly, the Horseshoe Casino Hammond hosted a food drive among its employees. Approximately 750 pounds of non-perishable food items expect to be collected before the drive ended on December 14. The food will benefit America's Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Indiana, the area's largest distributor of food to residents of Northwest Indiana. Anybody who gambles knows that $1,500 in cash-back vouchers in a month represents a whole lot of time in front of the machines. More Frugal Gambling is nevertheless an entertaining and often times light-hearted look at the casino world through the eyes of a woman who loves to gamble and derive satisfaction from milking the casino marketing machines. The second book is The Lottery Book: The Truth Behind the Numbers (Bonus Books, Santa Monica, California). this book is written by someone who knows the ins and outs of the "numbers rackets" known as state lotteries: Don Catlin holds a Ph.D in mathematics and has worked as a consultant doing analysis of new casino games for various slot machine manufacturers around the globe. Prof. Catlin cannot tell you how to win the lottery, but he will make anyone who plays the Daily Game, Pick Four, Little Lotto, Lotto, the mega-millions multi-state games and even an occasional "scratch-off" much better informed regarding just what they're up against when they plunk down some hard earned cash. |
