Jokers Comedy Night Opens at
Commerce Casino January 30

COMMERCE, CA - A new comedy showcase will become a weekly entertainment feature at one of Southern California's most popular gaming establishments. Beginning January 30, 2003, Commerce Casino will become home to "Jokers," the newest comedy venue in the Los Angeles area. Hosted by comedian Rudy Moreno, Commerce Casino's weekly comedy night will showcase top comics, many of whom boast television appearances on shows ranging from HBO, Que Locos, Showtime, Comedy Central to the Tonight Show. Jokers Comedy Night performances will take place every Thursday night at 8:00pm in the
Arena Bar & Grill.

According to Commerce Casino Marketing & Advertising Manager Nancy Friedman, "We are thrilled to combine professional comedians with the fun and glamour of a casino setting - close to home. Jokers Comedy Night will bring a new level of entertainment to everyone that lives in Orange County and the greater Los
Angeles area."

"Jokers is expected to attract customers who appreciate the caliber of entertainment of other well known comedy clubs, such as the Improv or the Laugh Stop," she added.

Friedman commented, "Commerce Casino is known for fun and games on many different levels. Since we offer blackjack, as well as poker with super jackpots and other popular California games, we attract many individuals who might otherwise drive or fly to Las Vegas. What's more, the luxurious hotel accommodations of our recently opened Crowne Plaza Hotel at Commerce Casino have tremendously broadened our appeal."

In addition to top performers and the attraction inherent in hosting a comedy venue within a Los Angeles based casino, Commerce Casino offers ease of accessibility with plenty of free parking as well as valet service. Joker's Comedy Night will take place in the Arena Bar & Grill every Thursday at 8:00 p.m. The Arena Bar & Grill features live entertainment and dancing on Friday and Saturday nights from 9:00 p.m. to 1:15 a.m. and Karaoke/DJ music Sunday through Thursday evenings.

Commerce Casino is located at 6131 East Telegraph Road in Commerce, California, immediately adjacent to the Santa Ana (5) Freeway at the Washington Blvd exit. For more information, call (323) 721-2100 or (714) 879-2100.


MotorCity Casino Issues Slot Club Cards - /Detroit News/ - DETROIT, MI – MotorCity Casino has become the first gambling hall in the Metro Detroit market and the first among Mandalay Resort Group's 15 U.S. casinos to roll out a new convenience for line-averse patrons.

Consumers will have access to cards enabling them to tap into their slot-club cash rebates while at their gaming machines, thus avoiding lines at the club booth. Slot clubs are akin to airlines' frequent flier programs. Gamblers accumulate points redeemable for cash back.

The Point Play program began Jan. 6. About 15,000 of the 400,000 active members of MotorCity's slot group, called Club Metro, have enrolled in and activated Point Play. On Point Play's first day, gamblers redeemed $3,850 at the slot machines. Previously, gamblers had to visit one of two Club Metro booths at MotorCity, which has four gaming floors.

Through Point Play, patrons sitting at the machines may either gamble the money accumulated in their slot-club accounts, or cash out the credits that they receive in the form of tokens redeemable for cash.

Wyoming Tribe Presents Casino Plans - WASHINGTON, D. C. - Northern Arapaho Indian Tribe officials agreed on Jan. 14 to provide U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., with the details of their plan to establish a casino on the Wind River Indian Reservation. The decision to hand over the information is part of the tribe's effort to stop the senator's plans to at least temporarily block the casino with an amendment to a wide-ranging spending bill.

Before the tribe can go forward with their plans, they must receive the Interior Secretary Gale Norton's approval. Enzi is considering sponsoring an amendment that would prohibit Norton from approving any state-tribe class III gaming compact without the state's approval. The tribal leaders also agreed to give Enzi information on their economic development plans that are not connected to gambling.

Enzi has been a strong opponent of both Indian and non-Indian gambling, and even if he does not offer the amendment, his stance is not likely to change. He said gambling is "an economic development mirage." In case they are unable to convince Enzi to hold off on his amendment, tribal officials are working to drum up opposition to it among his fellow senators.
