todd:When you include cash/annuity, you'll have to downgrade Mass NY.

There is nothing below F, by the way.Too bad.I don't buy scratchers, but I occasionally see someone win a few bucks on one.To be honest, I almost don't play NM lottery, though I've bought Roadrunner tickees a time or two. Mostly I just play Powerball. If it happens to be corrupt, at least it's probably a fancier job of work than I'd expect from anything NM would produce.Need hasn't forced us to get too sophisticated here. We're simple, God-fearing folks who still rely on switch blades and bro... [ More ]

The Report Card will be improved in the future to include scratch games, which actually may help the NM Lottery raise their grade up higher. For example, if they offer a wide variety of games, plus have cash/annuity options for their scratch games, these positives will improve their rankings.There is nothing below F, by the way.

Cash Only:That question's evidently the offspring of being something short of 21 years, but long on 18. You'd probably be doing yourself a service, if you have to ask that question, by making a long route around the casinos here. There's a lot to see and do in NM that leaves you with a pair of shoes to wear home and enough money to buy a ticket out of here. We try not to go overboard with it.... leave your bucks all over the State if it moves you, but there's no point in giving one of the trib... [ More ]

Todd:I'm thinking they worked hard for that D. When this other one's launched you might have to create a special grading system to accomodate a lottery that can't make the grade for an F.Jack

Although I love the folks at the NM Lottery, unfortunately they currently have a grade of D on the State Lottery Report Card.

There is even a Santa Ana wind.Likely so, but you don't whiff it much inside the Santa Ana Star Casino. Not enough Santa Anas to make wind enough to fill the place.Surely am pleased, I am, to see NM, with a State Government I still believe (even after reading the TN Alert thread) needs not bow second-best to any other State for corruption, skulduggery and brassy high-handedness, teaming up with a tribal casino to create a lottery......They're probably auctioning off the algorithms off the back...

Whew.... I play most of my blackjack at the Star.... it's about 8 miles from me. And fourth, the Pueblo of Santa Ana will be able to generate needed funds to support its community programs. Interesting statement. There are about 600 Santa Anas in the world. They have an enormous Hyatt Resort on the REZ, huge casino, etc etc etc.Are they all running around in Caddies? Nope. Most are on welfare.Jack

I hope to be in NM for the first time late this year.

I went to NM a while back, and from what I remember it varies from tribe to tribe. But it's been a while so it might've changed.

Do NM tribal casino players have to be 18 (the NM lottery minimum) or 21

So one side has a 50% payback and the other a 90% payback
