No Nudity…Or Gambling in Garden Grove City, Council Says

Well, this news item comes courtesy of a friend who lives in Orange County, Ca. He sent me an email saying the local city council voted 4-0 to ban arcade machines, exposed breasts and smoking at local Vietnamese coffeehouses. It was an amendment to an existing ordinance, which among other things, will ban arcade machines, [...]

People Want to Gamble. Why Can’t State Legislators Give Us What We Want?

There is a debate ongoing in Minnesota about having more gambling options. Fine. I am all for debate. Minnesota residents seem to be for having more gambling options. That’s the finding of a new poll by the Star Tribune Minnesota, a daily newspaper, in which 72% of Minnesota residents said they would like to end the [...]

Some Logic Here: A Case for Taxing Online Gambling Sites, Rather than Prosecuting Them

I’d like to thank Chris Flood, an attorney, for his editorial that I saw online on the Houston Chronicle. Whether you agree or disagree with the actions taken by the US Federal government April 15, Flood puts it all into perspective. So I will excerpt some of what he said. And thank him for the [...]

More New Casinos in Michigan? Could Happen, If Advocacy Group Has its Way

Saw an item in a Grand Rapids, Michigan newspaper about a group that wanted to see 7 new casinos in Michigan — including one in Grand Rapids. The group said it’s gonna start collecting signatures to put the issue on the ballot

“Payday” Party Trouble for Baltimore City Worker Participants

I found this one of the more interesting news items I’ve come across recently. Because on payday, who doesn’t lay down a few bucks on lotteries? Or other games of chance. I’m not advocating gambling away all you have; rather, to have some fun. In Atlantic City, Vegas, if you live nearby. Hell, why not? [...]

Well Here They Go Again, Minnesota Legislators Trying to Raise Money Through Video Slots (If at First You Don’t Succeed, Try Tray…etc)

Anyone who’s been reading my posts for the past few years knows that I’ve been following this story …. it’s just so fascinating to see states that are running deficits trying to make it up through gambling. I am not opposed to this at all. The more opportunities I have to play what I want, [...]

Well, Duh! Duke University Study Shows… Sleep Deprived Gamblers Make Poorer Decisions Than Those Who Have Enough Sleep

I could have told you this. Ain’t it why casinos are open 24 hours…because they like it when gamblers stay late into night. They know what a Duke University Study has just revealed…. The researchers looked at 29 volunteers and found that those who were deprived of sleep tended to make riskier financial decisions than [...]

Hey, All You State Legislators Out There (Reading This)… Legalize Online Gambling, And You Can Balance Your State Budgets

Now here is something interesting I read the other day. It was a report put out by a group (I’d never heard of) called the Global Betting and Gaming Consultants (GBGC). The report said the online gambling market in 2010 increased by twelve percent to $29.3 billion dollars. Pretty amazing, huh? Such an incredible growth rate [...]

Texas Deep in the Red, May Legalize Casino Gambling to Deal with Budget Shortfall

Texas could be the next state to legalize casino gambling. Why? They are $15 billion…that’s BILLION…in the red. So it’s either raise taxes OR legalize casino gambling. Which would not solve all the state’s problems, but will help. At least one bill calling to legalize casino gambling is expected this legislative session

Good News for Vegas Casinos, Gamblers Coming Back (and That Includes Me)

Look, I never have stopped going to Vegas (when I can). So the news that business was down never really affected me personally. But I am glad to see the comeback by casinos in Nevada, as reported by the state Gaming Control Board, which reported that casinos won $10.4 billion last year, a 0.1 percent increase
