History

&In February 2016 the Cowlitz Tribe broke ground for their new $510 million casino. Construction was completed in early 2017 and the grand opening was celebrated April 24, 2017.

The Cowlitz Tribe was a landless tribe awaiting approval from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to take 152 acres of land into federal trust. The land is located at La Center's I-5 interchange in Clark County, Washington.

Federal approval was finally granted December 23, 2010 making the land a sovereign reservation for the Cowlitz tribal government, housing, and economic opportunities. This included the tribe's plan to construct a resort casino as described below. Federal support for this project was reconfirmed Oct. 5, 2012.

The first phase of this construction on this $510 million project was the two-story casino which is now finished. An eight-story hotel will be built in a later phase.

Ilani Celebrates 2nd Anniversary and the Opening of Cowlitz Crossing

April 24, 2019

Ilani Casino celebrated its two-year anniversary on Wednesday. Its opening day was April 24, 2017.

In celebration of the event casino offered special promotions and memorabilia gifts to its guests. Leaders of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe also made two announcements about ongoing changes:

• Cowlitz Crossing Grand Opening
  The Cowlitz Crossing opened today on the anniversary date of the casinos. It is a fueling station and convenience store located nearby at 31801 NW 31st Ave, Ridgefield, WA 98642.
  The fuel station sells gasoline, ethanol-free gas and diesel. The convenience store stocks standard items you would expect to find plus local ice cream, coffee and Ilani wine.

• New Parking Garage
  Construction will begin this July on a 5-story parking stucture with 2,600 vehicle parking spaces. It will be completed in late summer of next year.

Ilani Casino Resort continues in a master planning phase. Future expansion project may include a hotel, a Cowlitz Indian Cultural Center and a new tribal headquarters.

The most recent addition was the Cowlitz Ballroom which opened in April last year. It is a 22,000-square-foot addition that provides a 2,500-person concert venue or an 800-guest banquet hall. The balllroom cost $20 million and is the largest in Clark County.

Ilani to build gas station, convenience store

September 05, 2018

Groundbreaking was held for the new gas station and convenience store that will be located near the ilani Casino Resort. On Thursday the ceremony was held. The casino resort is operated by the Cowlitz Indian Tribe near La Center, Washington.

During the ceremony members of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe and casino resort leadership were present.

There will be between 18 and 24 gas pumps. 22 parking spaces. The convenience store will be two floors with an atrium.

The store will offer drinks, tobacco, and some grocery items. Customers will also be able to purchase hot food. The store is planning on offering sandwiches and friend chicken.

The new gas station and convenience store is scheduled to be completed by the end of Spring next year.

UPDATE: Ilani Casino opened its Entertainment Center April 5th

February 14, 2018

In April the ilani Casino Resort is scheduled to open the new meeting and entertainment center. This is also the time the casino will be celebrating the one year anniversary.

The announcement about the opening was made on February 5.

The newly expanded area consists of 30,000 square feet. The Cowlitz Ballroom is 22,000 square feet. It can be made into different size rooms to accommodate different sized events. For concerts the ballroom can seat 2,500 people. It can also be used for banquets. In that configuration, the room can accommodate 800 guests. Smaller events can also be held there. The room can be divided.

The location in the building allows for guests to enter the room directly without needing to walk into the casino area.

Events held there will have access to full catering services, sound, and lighting.

Attracting more entertainment was one of the reasons behind the expansion project. The tribe is interested in providing guests with performers that are nationally known.

Along with the new entertainment center opening, the amount of traffic it will bring is a concern. To offset the issues, the road will be improved. An additional 400 parking spaces will also be added.

They expect traffic to be heaviest during the grand opening of the center. Then Thursday to Monday.

The ilani Casino Resort has been in operation for close to a year. The casino has plans to continue growing and expanding in the future.

FINDING THE BEST SLOT MACHINE

Everyone who has ever played slots for at least five minutes seems to feel that they are qualified to find the best slot machine.

'Best' usually means the 'loosest' slot, meaning that the machine seems to pay out more coins than have been played, at least for a time period.There are as many theories as there are people on how to find this elusive machine.

Some people believe strictly in luck.If they were wearing their lucky hat the last time that they played and won, then they will ascribe their luck to this hat and be sure to wear it every time they play.

Others like to talk to the slot machines while they play.I once played next to an elderly lady who started out telling her machine to 'Be good to Mama, Baby,' followed by an occasional pat on the front of the machine.After about thirty minutes her tune had changed to 'Pay up you tight son of a bitch,' followed by a whack on the machine glass.

Some folks like to test the temperature of the machine before they begin playing.If the machine is warmer than the other machines, then this qualifies the machine as a 'hot' one, suitable for play.

Some people will only insert cold coins into a machine, claiming that if warmer coins are used, the machine tightens up.

Many players believe that slots should be played only at night or on the weekends, or some other variation of timing.

Still others believe that the rhythm used in pulling the handle is the secret.Implementation of this theory includes such variations as the short hard pull and the slow, almost delicate pull.Each has its adherents.

Others use the 'the attendant must know' theory and ask the slot attendant which is the best machine to play.A variation of this is to observe another slot machine when playing and if the machine has not paid a jackpot in a long time, to consider playing the machine as it should be ready to pay.

The location within the casino is also important for many players.Some players claim that aisle machines are the best, while others believe that the loosest slots are hidden in back corners so that they don't get much play.

I wish I could tell you that one of these approaches works.You may consider that I have saved you some money, as each of these approaches have been touted at one time or another in slot publications of dubious value.I recently purchased a slot bookwhich spent several pages describing how hot and cold machines are laid out in a casino based on the author's theory of how casino executives are supposed to think.

I don't have much to say about the 'luck' or clairvoyance theories of slot play.Perhaps some folks got it and some don't.I know that I don't do very well when I rely purely on luck.If luck does work, I have the impression that it is a very personal thing, and I don't have any advice on how you may increase yours vis a vis winning at slot machines.I am going to assume that you are like me and believe that luck comes to those who are prepared, so we will concentrate on becoming more prepared.

The time of day theories are really absurd.Many players believe that the casinos can push a button inside a slot, or jiggle a couple of levers and change the payouts.With the microprocessor controlled slots, the chip itself must be changed to affect the payout percentages.Changing the chip requires the skill of a trained technician and several hours work.It is also an expensive proposition for a casino to be constantly changing its slots.You can rest assured that slot payouts in a particular casino will not change with nightfall or from a weekday to a weekend.

Obviously, talking to the machine or even caressing it, is not likely to have any effect on a computer chip controlled mechanism.Neither is the temperature of the machine (which is probably most affected by the temperature around it) nor the warmth of the coins.Slot machine levers have zero influence on the random number generating chip controlled machines.The machines could just as easily be activated by a button (as are the video slots) or a pull string.The days of handles activating gears which determined the rate of spin of the reels are long gone.

All of these theories may occasionally win some money for their adherents, but consider:Randomly selecting any machine may work just as well.

We are after something a little more definitive.Let's look first at some of the characteristics of the different types of slot machines.

One of the attributes we will look for on any machine is the ability to play from one to as many as five coins without any penalty for playing less than the maximum number of coins.Why?Because we want the flexibility to adjust the size of each wager dependent upon the exact playing conditions we are facing at that exact moment.

This condition knocks out of contention any single coin slot machines.With a single coin slot, the only option we have is to insert a coin and pull the lever.It is a win or lose proposition, with no alternatives other than changing machines.To have the best chance of winning, we will demand the flexibility to vary the number of coins based on each individual machine's attributes.

Illini Casino Slot Machine Poker Game

With this one condition, we will rule out play on any of the single coin mechanical machines.This restriction is not too severe, as these machines can only be found in a few downtown casinos in Las Vegas, and scattered about other Nevada sites.

By requiring that no penalty be imposed for playing with less than the maximum number of coins accepted by a particular machine, we will also rule out a number of multipliers which do impose this penalty.We will not want to play on any Option Multipliers (buy-a-pay) slots as these machines bring additional symbols into play with additional coins inserted so that with less than the maximum number of coins played, the number of winning symbols are severely reduced.

Less obviously, but using the same logic, we will reject playing on the Multiple Pay Line machines, which accomplish the same thing as the Option machines by bringing additional pay lines into play as additional coins are inserted.

A second condition we will impose is that the machine we select to play is a High Frequency machine.By high frequency, we mean that the machine has been programmed to pay off many lower payoffs more frequently rather than a very small number of higher payoffs.

Table 15 compares the hypothetical payoffs of Low and High Frequency slot machines.

Table 15.Comparison of High and Low Frequency Slots

High Frequency Payoffs		Low Frequency Payoffs
Payoffs (# Coins)	Percent of Total Paid Out	Payoffs (# Coins)	Percent of Total Paid Out
2	20%	2	10%
10	49%	5	10%
20	25%	10	25%
100	1%	15	32%
1000	18%
Total Payoffs	95%	95%

Casino Poker Machines

If we look at the payoff schedules on these two machines, we don't have much of a clue as to which is the higher or lower frequency machine.Both machines have similar payoffs, and both machines will ultimately pay back 95% of the coins played.Having the benefit of using this table, we can see that the high frequency payer will return a higher percentage of the coins played on the payoffs of 20 coins or less.If we add the payoff percentages for all payoffs of 20 coins or less on the high and low payoff machines, we find that 94% of the payoffs on the high frequency version are for payoffs of 2, 10 or 20 coins, while only 77% of the low frequency machine payoffs are for 2, 5, 10 and 15 coin payoffs.

For our purposes, the machine paying 94% of its payoffs on payoffs ranging from 2 to 20 coins is the better machine, as it is more likely that we will hit one or more of these payoffs in short-term play.While the lower frequency machine returns exactly the same overall payback of 95%, it accomplishes this by making fewer lower coin payouts and concentrating a higher amount of its payback in the less frequently hit jackpot payoff of 1,000 coins.

In short-term play, we are not likely to ever hit the jackpot payoff.Since 18% of the slot's overall payback is represented by this jackpot, in simple terms, by not hitting the jackpot, our return will be reduced by 18%, a large percentage of the expected payback.

We discussed locations of slots in a general way in the previous chapter.We found that the best paying slots are located in the state of Nevada, and on the average, the lowest paying slots are in Atlantic City.Of course this is from your and my perspective.If you owned a casino, you would prefer the lower payout Atlantic City slots.

Another aspect of finding the best slot machine is picking the best casino in the best location.Unfortunately, casinos are not very forthright on their exact hold percentages so that this task is not always that easy.

We can, however, refine our selection process somewhat without knowing the exact hold percentage of each casino.

First, we know that we should confine our play to casinos.Grocery stores, service stations, bars, airports and other non casino locations often have paybacks of from 50% to 75%.Your money will disappear very quickly if you decide to regularly play the slots at Joe's All-Nite Market.Needless to say, you should stick withlegal slot machines.If you decide to play illegal slots, who knows what extortion will be enacted on you.And you will have little recourse if you are cheated.

The airport slots at McCarran International Airport are notoriously tight, although I have been known to play them on occasion to enjoy a diversion not usually found in the airports of the world.An elderly neighbor of my mother had an interesting experience at the Las Vegas airport.His plane was already boarding when he hit a $100 jackpot on a quarter machine.Realizing that he did not have time to change the coins into bills, he began stuffing the quarters into every pocket he had.When he finally waddled onto the plane, with quarters bulging in every pocket, his pants fell down from the weight of the quarters.The entire plane gave him a round of applause.

There are many theories about where the best machines are located in casinos.Some players believe that machines located at the end of aisle hold the key to fame and fortune, while others will swear by different locations.If you have ever read about slots, it is likely that you were treated to the author's pet theories about where the best machines were.

To try to separate truth from fiction, I devised a simple experimental approach.Playing with a group of friends who agreed to participate in the experiment, we played a number of casinos systematically and recorded the results.In order to limit the number of variables for each trip to a casino, we played only the same denomination machines, e.g. nickel, quarter, dollar or five dollar machines.Our only variation in these experiments was the location of the slots in the casinos.Each trial was at least at hour long, each player used the same session bankroll, and each player played at roughly the same speed.Over the years, I was able to accumulate a number of these trials.While admittedly deficient in a number of ways (for example we played on slots manufactured by different companies, rather than same company slots, and all of our trips were to Las Vegas so that we didn't 'sample' other slot venues), I feel that the results clearly indicate a pattern of placement of slots by the casino executives.

We refined the terms 'loose and tight' to include three categories of machines:

Loose machines were those whose estimated paybacks were from 97—99%.

Middle paying machines paid out at from 93—96%.

Tight slots paid out less than 93% of the coins played.
