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 [...]

New Jersey Governor Vetos Online Gambling Bill, Damn it

Remember a few weeks ago I  talked about New Jersey becoming the first state to legalize intra-state online gambling? Well, scratch that thought. Gov. Chris Christie, he of the hefty heft, vetoed the bill this week. Damn it,  declaring it would break the state’s constitutional limits

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

Super Bowl Game is the U.S.’s Biggest Betting Day of the Year

To the uninitiated, to those who read this and live in Japan, Australia, India…America’s Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event we have every year. And the biggest gambling day ever. People here bet on everything. Who wins. Point spreads. Who scores first. Even who wins the coin toss to start the game. It’s absurd.

Frenchman in Court: Drugs Made Me Gamble, Turn to Gay Sex

Now here is a clever excuse for an addiction to online gambling…and gay sex. A Mr. Didier Jambart, 51, of Nantes, France, is suing the British pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, sayng the drug he took to treat his Parkinson’s symptoms…a drug called Requip, “turned him into a gambling and gay sex addict.”

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, [...]

Whatta Day in the U.S.A.! New Jersey Lawmakers Pass Law to License and Regulate Online Poker (Gambling)

Just a few hours ago I wrote about what was going on in New Jersey. Well, it happened. So here we are … at a momentous time. Mark down January 10, 2011, as an historic day for online poker. And online gambling. New Jersey became the first state to pass legislation to license and regulate [...]
