Special Poker Event in Cherokee, Wisconsin

How does $1,000,000 in prize money sound to you? As my man Blake (Alec Baldwin) said in Glengarry Glen Ross, “They’re sitting out there waiting to give you their money. Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it?” So, are you pal?? Are you man enough to take this $1,000,000 prize all for yourself? Just remember to stick to the AIDA formula: Attention, Interest, Decision, Action.

Bitcoin Gambling on the Rise

This shouldn’t be a surprise for you, unless you’ve lived under a rock for this past 12 months. The popularity of bitcoin is getting bigger and bigger, and soon we’ll be eating bitcoins for breakfast. You won’t have to waste time going to the grocery store, when instead you’ll be eating this amazingly flavoured virtual stuff. Sort of reminds of The Matrix… and it’s pretty scary!! Read more…

Massachusetts Receives New Gambling Resort

The First Light Casino is set to be valued at around $1 billion and when it opens in 2017 it will be the most lavish gambling venue in the New England region. We can only imagine all the amenities this thing will offer. Supposedly, the casino will teleport players directly from their sofas to the casino floor, and serve them free caviar and Dom Perignon whenever they snap their fingers. They’ll also get a massage, facial make-over, manicure and pedicure (even for men) all the while they’re playing cards at the tables. Read more…

Not all gambling houses are greedy institutions that are just after your money. The Eagle Mountain Casino in California has helped build homes for more than 500 families from one a percentage of the money they’ve received through their operations. If only more casinos would do this, the world would be a much better place. Just imagine gambling all your money until you’re broke, but at least you would have been content with the knowledge that you’ve helped someone get a brand new home. Granted, you’ll be homeless, but at least some else will be happy… Read more…

Steve Wynn: “Nobody Likes Being Around Poor People.”

Well, I guess once you become a super-wealthy casino owner, you just stop caring for what the “common folk” think of your product as they they’re not going to consume it anyway. An excerpt from Charlotte Bronte comes to mind, “Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! – I have as much soul as you, and full as much heart!” Mr. Wynn is really a harsh, harsh man. He almost made me cry… I really wanted to go to his new casino, but now I don’t think I’ll ever step another foot inside any of his establishments. Actually, come to think of it, I never have been inside any of his casinos, so what am I going on about??? (This might tell you that the narrator of the story is not very reliable…) But one thing is for sure, and that is “I am as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!” (Network – 1976) Read more…

Thieves vs Slot Machines

Who would have thought that the business of gambling would attract thieves? I don’t really know what this article is about, as I was too lazy to read it, so go ahead and check it out yourself. Maybe the piece is not about thieves and gambling at all. Maybe it’s about aliens on our planet that have taken the shape of high-ranking politicians… Let’s hope that Zhe Terminator still has the killer instinct when it comes to killing aliens. Arnie is the only one that can help us if aliens have taken over, unless he’s an alien himself… Read more…
