Pokies to be Slashed
The revelations have prompted calls for access to Pokies to be slashes.
Documents reveal the $1.1 billion was collected by the top 500 hotels, more than two thirds of the total pub poker machine revenue state- wide.
This is equal to a $200 dollar loss by every adult in the state of
Mohegan Sun cuts pay for all employees
The Mohegan Sun Tribal Gaming Authority announced that it will cut the pay of senior management by 10% and by 4% for all none management employees.
The pay of all 9,800 employees will be cut to avoid lay offs.
Pennsylvania Judge Thomas A James Jr.
Reports from the Poker Daily news that on Friday 16th January it was ruled that Texas Hold em was a game of skill and therefore not gambling under state law.
Simply if chance predominates Texas Hold em is gambling. If skill predominates, it is not gamblingu201D;
In the end Judge James asserts It is apparent that skill predominates over chance in Texas Hold em poker
ICE in full swing
The annual casino exhibition at Earls Court Olympia 27th 29th January began with a packed house yesterday Tuesday 27th.
Internet gaming and slot machines dominated the Halls.
However the John Huxley stand at the entrance to the ICE show became the perennial haunt of international casino personnel of all shapes and sizes.
I was delighted to bump into my old boss Jimmy Lizinsky who is a towering and much loved personality in the casino industry.
We spent a couple of hours perusing the stalls and enjoying the technical innovations of the past 30 years.
Poker Tip
Try not to favour internet poker above live action games. Both forms of playing are skilful and should complement one another, to get the best poker out of you.
