  • Ricky Martin performs Friday, Oct. 23, at 8 p.m. at Lucas Oil Live, with doors opening 90 minutes earlier.
  • WinStar returns 15% of combined electronic-game losses between $100 and $1,700 as bonus play on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
  • The payback maxes out at $255, loads in $15 bonus-play increments and is valid the Tuesday and Wednesday two weeks later.

THACKERVILLE, Okla. – Ricky Martin will play Lucas Oil Live at WinStar World Casino & Resort on Friday, Oct. 23, at 8 p.m., while the casino keeps returning 15% of electronic-game losses as bonus play every Tuesday and Wednesday.

Martin Takes The Stage At Lucas Oil Live

WinStar lists Martin’s Lucas Oil Live show for 8 p.m. Friday, with doors opening 90 minutes earlier, in a theater it puts at more than 6,500 seats plus club-level options. Tickets sell through SeatGeek, and the listing shows no ticket price.

WinStar credits Martin with more than 70 million records sold and two Grammy Awards, and it names “María,” “Livin’ la Vida Loca” and “She Bangs” among his hits. Inside, filming, cameras and smoking are prohibited, and the venue’s bag policy bars backpacks.

WinStar, whose house rules send unresolved machine disputes to the Chickasaw Nation Office of the Gaming Commissioner, sits at 777 Casino Ave. in Thackerville, just across the Red River from Texas. Texas permits no commercial casinos. An earlier report examined how Texans bet billions in Oklahoma and what Oklahoma’s tribes spend to keep it that way, and the Texas gambling sites guide lays out the state’s own legal options.

What 15% Back Means In Dollars

WinStar’s “15% Loss Is Your Gain” promotion page says players who use a Club Passport card at participating electronic games on Tuesdays and Wednesdays are reimbursed 15% of combined losses between $100 and $1,700. On the $100 floor the 15% comes to $15, and on the $1,700 ceiling it comes to the $255 maximum the page states, so losses past $1,700 earn nothing extra.

The payback tracks losses, so it pays only after a losing visit, and it works as a cushion rather than a refund. A player who drops the full $1,700 gets $255 back as bonus play on the card, which leaves $1,445 of the loss standing before a single bonus-play spin.

The page says the bonus play loads to the card in $15 increments and is valid on the Tuesday and Wednesday two weeks after the qualifying visit, framing it as a reason to return. That timing means Friday’s show night earns no payback, while a qualifying visit on Tuesday, Oct. 20, or Wednesday, Oct. 21, would put bonus play on the card for Tuesday, Nov. 3, and Wednesday, Nov. 4. The page points players to WinStar’s official rules for the participating games and other conditions.

Fajitas And A Pink Drink Fill Out The Week

WinStar’s promotions list shows half-priced chicken fajitas and house margaritas at Unión Mesa from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, through Oct. 31, and not valid with other offers. The same list runs a “Power of Pink” drink feature at all casino bars through Oct. 31 for guests 21 and older.

Lucas Oil Live Next Hosts La Mafia, Then Jodeci And Bobby Brown

Martin is the only October date left on WinStar’s events calendar. La Mafia plays Nov. 13 and Jodeci and Bobby Brown follow on Nov. 27, both at 8 p.m. at Lucas Oil Live.
