Three Former Sumo Wrestlers Busted in Tokyo Gambling Scandal

This is such a cool story, so thank you Tomiko (my Tokyo reader, correspondent) for telling me about it. Here is what she told me. Last week, Japanese police arrested three former sumo wrestlers over a gang-linked gambling scandal that rocked the ancient national sport last year. Sadahide Furuichi, 34, Tetsuya Yabushita, 29, and Shunsaku Yamamoto, [...]

How’s That Huge Gambling Bill Going in Illinois? Stalled in the Illinois House at the Moment

Someone called me the other day to ask, Hey…how is the gambling bill that would expand gambling in Illinois to include casinos in Danville and four other cities (including Chicago)…how is it going? Well, it’s on hold. But the legislation, which was approved by the Illinois Senate last month, is not dead

Gibralter Raising Tax Rates on Online Gambling Firms Based in the British Territory

Many of the online gambling sites I visit have their headquarters in Gibralter, a U.K. territory, but that may all change because the government has announced that it will be drastically inflating its taxes on all online gambling firms starting in January. This is a decision that could prove costly for several online poker sites. Especially [...]

Sneaking in the Back Door: New Hampshire Allowing “For Profit Firms” to Conduct Games of Chance (That’s Called Gambling, Dude)

Very interesting article recently in a New Hampshire newspaper. Seems like a legalized form of gambling appears to be popping up frequently in communities throughout the state’s seacoast towns. But here is the twist. Charitable gaming has been legal in New Hampshire since 1977. That changed in 2006, when the state legislature voted to allow [...]

Chicago Legislators Mull Expanded Gambling, Including Possible Casinos and Slots at Racetracks

Good news for gamblers (like me). Seems like legislators all over the US are coming to their senses. Particularly after the last election. No new taxes? OK then, how are Governors and legislatures going to balance budgets? Gambling. Illinois Senate President John Cullerton says the odds are good for an expansion of gambling in the [...]

Foxwoods in Planning Stage to Develop Internet Gambling Site Based in Europe (Where it is Legal)

This isn’t surprising, but when I saw a news item in a New London, CT newspaper, I had to comment on it. Foxwoods Development Co, the  Mashantucket Pequot Tribe’s St. Louis-based development arm, is in the planning stage of developing an internet gambling site where it is legal— in Europe. Smart move. Very smart. Apparently the [...]

Unofficial Dallas Poll Shows Support for Legalizing More Forms of Gambling as Way to Help Deal with Anticipated $20 Billion State Budget Shortfall

The next governor of Texas will have a major problem on his hand. A $20 billion budget shortfall. That’s right: $20 billion. WFAA Dallas took a poll among likely voters and they said they support more gambling to help the budget. But what will the legislature think about that? Our poll found a majority of [...]

Congressman’s Wife Pleads Guilty in Federal Court: She Helped Her Brother Conceal His Illegal Offshore Gambling Business

This is kind of interesting. You know all about prohibitions against Americans setting up offshore gambling businesses. Everyone else in the world, it seems, can do it. But not Americans. That’s another story (OH, could we use their taxes if it were made legal….) From the HILL newspaper, I learned that the wife of Rep. [...]

Now that Pennsylvania has Legalized Gambling, it’s Going After Illegal Gambling Operations (Big Time)

Pennsylvania, my home state, seems hell bent on become the gambling capital of the country. So watch out Vegas. And definitely watch out Atlantic City. Now, the state’s Gaming Control Board wants to ensure their casinos are receiving maximum revenue. That is why the Board approved grants that will help combat illegal gambling. The Gaming [...]
