New Games
You will find 10 brand new “LC.
MONEY” machines, which are nine-line,
slant-top nickel machines that are available
in both 45c and 90c max bet options.
These new machines have two bonus
levels (LC. MONEY and Polar Bear Party).
They are very similar to the “SPHINX”
machines. They are located in front of the
Winner’s Circle and by the restroom on the
northeast side of the main gaming floor.
Also just released are five brand new
“Hot Hand Poker” 5c slant-top machines.
These machines are bonus poker machines
with a double-up feature and animated
“magic hands” that deal the cards. These
machines are located by the restroom on
the northeast side of the main gaming floor.

during June, winners of our Daily Shootout
Tournaments will have a $25 bounty placed

Daily Shootout Tournament. If no one takes
them out of the tournament, they will receive
bounty, and if they win again, the bounty
doubles for the next tournament!
Look for new, expanded hours for the

Freddy Fender to
Perform Ju ne 10
Don’t say you “Wasted Days and
Wasted Nights” by missing Freddy Fender
when his show comes to Chinook Winds.
Fender had to be blackmailed into
becoming a country star. He was so dead
set against the idea of recording “Before the
Next Teardrop Falls” - which became his
biggest hit and earned him a CMA Single of
the Year Award — that his producer had to
coerce him into singing it.
Fender admits that back then, he had
a misconception on what country music was
and that misconception almost kept him from
recording the song that launched his career
nationally. That career includes a substantial
number of country hits - 16 between 1975
and 1979, including “Wasted Days and
Wasted Nights," “Secret Love,” “Vaya Con
Dios,” and “You’ll Lose a Good Thing.” In
addition to helping popularize the Tex-Mex
sound as a soloist, he also is part of the
Grammy-winning Texas Tornados.
The dance show is at 7 p.m. Ticket
prices range from $15 to $30, depending on
seat location. A no-host bar will be available.
“It’s a Celebration” on June 23-25
during the fifth anniversary of the opening
of Chinook Winds Casino & Convention
Center. Look for a good time all weekend
and party hardy with rockin’ entertainment,
fireworks, drawings, gifts, dancing, and “All
You Can Daub” and Anniversary bingo.
Twelve winners will be drawn Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday for a chance to win
$10,000 at the grand prize drawing on
Sunday evening. Four of the 12 each day
will win $500 and become finalists for the
grand prize. Each of the 12 finalists will
receive a key, only one of which will open
the cash box containing $10,000!
Bingo features will include “All You
Can Daub” on Friday night, Saturday Night
Fever on Saturday night, and Anniversary
Bingo on Sunday night.
Three lucky contestants will have
their names drawn on Friday at 4,7, and 10
p.m. for a chance to stash all the cash and
merchants’ certificates they can capture in
the “tornado” cash cube in a 30-second
period (for Winner’s Circle members, 20
seconds for non-members).
Friday at 8 p.m. and Saturday at 7
and 10 p.m., rock out with J.T. Taylor,
formerly of Kool & the Gang. This event will
be held in the convention center to allow
room for dancing, and a no-host bar will be
available. Ticket prices range from $35 to
$45, depending on seat location.
In addition to everything else that’s
happening casino-wide, including free gifts
throughout the house, birthday cake will be
served in the lobby on Saturday at 3 p.m.,
the Siletz Tribe will host a reception in the
showroom from 3-6 p.m., and a fantastic
fireworks display will take place at 10 p.m.
