Atlantic City Casinos Face Evacuation Due to Storm?

2012-10-28 20:08:25 latest-casino-bonuses


A blast superstorm adequately dubbed Hurricane Sandy as it has already killed 43 people when it crossed the Caribbean, is expected to hit the eastern coast of the United States any moment, and New Jersey governor Chris Christie has ordered the evacuation of all Atlantic City casinos and the state’s barrier islands, as well as the closure of state parks by the afternoon on Oct. 28.

Other neighboring states& governors made similar moves, declaring states of emergency and urging coastal residents to move inland. In New York City, they are considering whether to shut down public transportation, and many airlines have already announced potential cancellations and waiving change fees for passengers who want to reschedule their flights.

Hurricane Sandy is expected to reach the coastline on Tuesday and to first hit the area around Delaware. A big threat is the fact that it can run into two major winter weather systems, and create one huge storm.

2012-10-27 12:46:09 latest-casino-bonuses


This week a Finnish punter hit it big at Vera&John Casino, winning over Euro 40,000… in a single spin!

Commenting on his big win, and explaining what he plans to do with the money, the punter identified as Mr. P said: “It&s of course pretty hard to describe how I&m feeling; I am very excited and still can&t believe it.

“The first thing I will do is pay off my loans and then it&s time for an amazing holiday. The rest I will save and keep for a rainy day.”

An announcement came this week from the UK-based mega-jackpot supplier Topjack Games that it has extended its mega-jackpot concept to blackjack, and that its Lloyds-insured Euro 2 million jackpots are available on new Blackjack Millions.

Famous for its ten mega jackpots games available on instant lotto, slots, scratch cards, bingo, video poker, blackjack, roulette and keno games, the company is licensed by the Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority.

Regarding the novelty, Topjack Games founder Nick Lynes said: “Blackjack Millions is the first blackjack game to offer a jackpot prize in the millions. The jackpot will start at Euro 2 million but will rise throughout 2013 to Euro 10 million.

“The side bet on this game increases hold from 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent, making Blackjack Millions a very attractive proposition to the operators we are talking to. We have just come back from EiG where this game was well received.

“We have now signed six white label deals since launch with more on the way. There is a clear benefit to be first to market with these mega jackpots versions of the world&s most popular casino games,” Lynes concluded.

British Academic Criticizes Online Gambling at US Conference

2012-10-26 18:06:15 latest-casino-bonuses


This week, a British academic, Professor Mark Griffiths who heads gambling studies at Nottingham Trent University in the UK, addressed a problem gambling conference in the US, sponsored by the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling, expressing his disapproval of online gambling.

In his address, Griffiths said that online gambling is making regulation harder to achieve, is luring minors into gambling and introducing more types of problem gambling as the technology makes gambling more accessible to gamblers.

Regarding the problem with children gambling, he said that children may be too trusting of websites and believe that points they win on social network sites can be cashed in for money, which is wrong.

Attacking social gambling as well, he wondered: “How do we legislate stopping children from gambling on Facebook from home?” He added that children are learning to play poker online at free sites at an early age, which means that they will already be “accomplished gamblers” when they turn 18 – the legal age for real money play.

Griffiths also turned the attention to women gamblers, saying that they are increasingly attracted to the pastime by the growing number of online gambling sites and the rising use of mobile devices and interactive TV for gambling.

Thanks to the technology, he said, people are able to play at more than one site at the same time, which may boost problem gambling risks. He therefore concluded that online gambling can be a bigger threat for problem gambling development than land-based venues.

He explained this claim by giving an example of gambling while drunk, which is generally not permitted at casinos but can pass unnoticed in online gambling venues. He also said that payment technology developments also make multi-currency wagering easier.
