Roobet Crash

New owners have begun a  $40-million renovation on the nearly 25-year-old building which once housed the Maxim casino-hotel just off the Las Vegas Strip – what will emerge is the Westin Casuarina Hotel and Spa. Richard Kannapell, regional director of sales for Columbia Sussex Corp. says the project includes “gutting the entire building”, doing some exterior work and erecting a model room which will be open for public viewing in late February. The new hotel, scheduled to debut July 1, 2003, will include a 10,000-square-foot meeting area and an 11,000 square-foot spa. Westin’s trademark “Heavenly Bed” and Heavenly Roobet Crash Bath” features will be included in each hotel room, which will rent from $50 to $199 per night. Columbia Sussex’ casino management company will operate the new property. It currently operates 60 hotels in the U.S. and several overseas markets, including the Horizon Casino Resort in South Lake Tahoe.

 

Study Says More People Gambling

 

More people are gambling, showed a recent study by the Research Institute on Addictions at the State University of New York. The study, reported in The Journal of Gambling Studies, found 82 percent of adult Americans say they had gambled in the last year. In comparison, researchers cited studies showing that 61 percent of Americans gambled in 1975, as did 63 percent in 1998. Gambling was defined in the research as everything from office pools and friendly card games to dog racing and casinos. In a recent survey,  2,630 Americans nationwide were interviewed by phone in 1999 and 2000. They were asked  such questions as how often they gambled and how much they won or lost. Results showed that state lotteries are the most common form of gambling, but casinos account for most of the money. While those who play the lottery (66 percent) …

El Monumental, River Plate StadiumWe changed our flights, sped round the south of Argentina at the speed of light and managed to get to Buenos Aires in time for the weekend and the footy – River Plate playing Olimpio on the Saturday night, a lad in our hostel was going with a girl from Buenos Aires and we were in. Excellent. We walked through the cobbled streets of San Telmo, past the old men in berets with handlebar moustaches sipping red wine on the Plaza and took the bus up to El Monumental, home of Los Millonerios, aka River Plate.

El Monumental

As we walked up 90 mins before kickoff, the air was already full of the crack and boom of fireworks, the police poised on their horses, but not too many fans about to tell the truth. This wasn’t a big game and with the Boca River derby only a week away, people were saving their energies. So us men paid our 10 pesos (2quid/400 yen), the ladies their 5 and we were off into the “Populare” end of El Monumental, the peoples end where apparently under no circumstances should you show any sign of wealth or of being a tourist. Ooh er. After 5 body searches and the confiscation of my lighter (only me, everyone else got frisked once, bloody typical) we got in, greeted by the irresistible rhythm of the drums from inside the ground and the 4ft baton toting policemen on the perimeter. Up the stairs we went (lambs to the slaughter? I was beginning to wonder), greeted by a man with blood covered hands crouched over another in a pool of his own blood, not the best of omens.

Web Gambling Beyond the Singapore Online Casino Cookie Cutter

No Comments

The saturation of gambling sites on the Web is a turnoff for the Net bettor who’s looking for a breath of fresh air. But this boundless pool of online gambling sites isn’t as stagnant as it may appear.

 

It’s easy to get consumed by redundancy amid the gambling portals and search engines that spit out clone after clone, but fear not. . . Variety does exist. Three more sites have been pulled into the spotlight for this week’s excursion beyond the cookie cutter.

 

Horsepower

 

Sounds like the rallying call for an equine comic book hero, but it’s actually a new Internet betting system that’s like no other. Amid a digital playground stocked with electronic versions of every type of gambling imaginable, where the latest and greatest concepts are reinvented on what seems like a daily basis, the Horsepower broadcasting network has made online race wagering about as virtual as it gets.

 

Players can use the Java-based online software to wager 24/7 on horse races that are missing one of racing’s traditional components: horses. Every 90 seconds Horsepower delivers online races featuring virtual horses. Customers can watch 14 e-horses e-race around an e-track and place a variety of e-wagers within Horsepower’s pari-mutuel betting system. You can bet as little as $2 or as much as $100,000 on one horse or up to six horses.

 

The site’s marquee attraction, the “Quick 6TM” bet, gives players a shot at winning a jackpot of at least $1 million with a $2 bet. The rules are simple. Six horses are randomly selected and if they finish in the right order, you walk with a fat wad of cash.

 

If you’re curious and undecided about playing the Singapore Online Casino real-money version, you can check out a Macromedia …

BOOST VC STARTUPS COMPLETE ACCELERATOR SESSION AT SKYBLOCK GUIDE

The very first, largely Bitcoin-focused startup accelerator session wrapped-up on Thursday with a remarkable event that the founders at Boost VC call Demo Day, a high-stakes mashup of final exam and graduation for the 17 fresh companies that were chosen to participate. Seven of the attending startups in the concluding summer session have created products that use Bitcoin in a wide variety of manner. With the course coming to an end, all seven Bitcoin companies have received a $50,000 investment in addition to the countless other benefits, both valuable and priceless, that have come from three months of living and breathing hard work under the guidance and with the motivation of professional, experienced mentors in the center of Silicon Valley. Demo Day is the last chance to shine for these burgeoning companies before leaving the purview of Boost, hopefully with clear direction in mind and solid investments in hand.

 

Adam Draper, Boost CEO, greeted the sharply dressed investors and other invited guests at the clubhouse doors of the posh Menlo Circus Club in Menlo Park, California. Perhaps it was the beautiful, breezy, clear day that caught everybody in a good mood at the swanky equestrian club in the late summer afternoon or maybe it was the impending opportunity to make some serious money while getting an early jump on the next hot new thing; be it Bitcoin, 3D printing or any other disruptive technologies to catch the attention of Draper and co-founder Brayton Williams. While the 200+ attending guests arrived, delicious hors d’oeuvres circulated through the anxious crowd of mingling young entrepreneurs and the eager audience took their seats for a lightning round of 4-minute pitch presentations.

Taiwan mustn’t gamble on casinos

“Don Corleone said quietly, `It is true I have many, many friends in politics, but they would not be so friendly if my business were narcotics instead of gambling. They think gambling is something like liquor, a harmless vice.'”

 

That comment by Mario Puzo’s fictional godfather should serve to remind Taiwan’s government of the always present and close ties between legalized gambling and organized crime. It should also serve to remind the general public that gambling is not “a harmless vice.”

 

The idea of allowing legalized gambling in Taiwan has recently been in the news. Minister of Transportation and Communications Yeh Chu-lan (¸µâÄõ) has been on a tax payer-supported junket to Las Vegas ostensibly to study “tourism” (“Minister jets off to Las Vegas to study tourism,” Aug. 10, page 1). Obviously, tourism in Vegas means gambling.

 

This is not the first time that the government has considered gambling. Several years ago the Ministry of Justice looked into what impact legalized gambling would have on the criminal justice system. At that time the consensus was that the cost of legalization outweighed the benefits.

 

The situation has changed since then — for the worse. Taiwan’s economy is clearly in a downturn and the government is becoming increasingly desperate for a quick fix. One solution that is being considered is gambling. The best metaphor I can use to describe that solution is that it is like drinking seawater to assuage one’s thirst. It looks tempting when one is very thirsty but it merely hastens your death. Legalized gambling will only speed up the death of an economy already in trouble.

 

The reasons for this are several, and they have been clearly shown by studies done on legalized gambling in different parts of the US. The US-basedTogel Hongkong …

Bluffing tokyoslot88

tokyoslot88

This is the first of a four-part series on bluffing. Not only will we show you how, when, and why to bluff, we’ll also tell you about some of the most famous bluffs in poker history.

Bluffing is poker’s magic elixir. It’s the sleight-of-hand where high art and drama reside. It’s the place where myths are made. After all, what’s a western movie without a poker scene with one player trying to bluff another out of a big pot?

To those who do not play poker, or who have only a nodding acquaintance with it, bluffing is where they focus most of their attention when they think about the game.

 

Does this conversation ring a bell?

 

Non-Player: “You’re a professional poker tokyoslot88 player? Wow; you must have a real poker face.”

 

Professional Poker Player: “Why do you say that?”

 

NP: “Don’t you need a poker face because you have to bluff all the time?”

 

PPP: “Actually, bluffing is only a small part of the game, and good players don’t really bluff that often.”

 

NP: “Hmmmmmmm, It’s not like that in the movies.”

 

PPP: [shrugging his shoulders with the resigned weariness of one who’s had similar conversations far too many times] “Well, few things really are…”

 

What Is Bluffing, Anyway?

 

Ask most poker players to define bluffing and they’ll tell you about betting a weak hand with the hope of driving other players out of the pot. After all, without bluffing, poker would be a boring game. Bets would be made, and the best hand would win. Always.

 

Since the cards figure to break even in the long run, without the possibility that someone is bluffing each player would have the same expectation, and when all was said and done, no …

ARTY’S POKER Q & A ABOUT SBOBET88

https://www.simplylearnt.com/

We all get excited about a trip to a convention in Vegas. I’m no different. I looked forward to my trip to Las Vegas for the BARGE Convention and Tournaments for many months. I wanted to be sure that I had plenty of time in town so I booked to arrive a few days before the tournament started. I figured that this would give me time to settle in, and get used to the climate and playing conditions.

Finally the day arrived that I was going to leave. To say that I was excited and looking forward to this trip would be an understatement. The following story was posted to rec.gambling.poker on my return. It made a big hit and many found it humorous. I for one, did not. The airline in this story shall remain anonymous.

Ok gang; here’s my trip report…

I left three days in advance of BARGE (Thank Heavens). The limo fights Sunday evening traffic for two and a half hours to get to LGA in NYC (normally a 50-minute trip). I can hear the driver mumbling under his breath something to the effect that he could have had the night off, if it wasn’t for me. I arrive two hours early for takeoff. I am hyper and climbing the airport terminal walls like a fly, waiting for the flight to be called. Finally, I board the plane, and we are airborne. Hurray!

We are in the air for about 5 minutes (not at altitude, but higher than I would like to fall), when the pilot comes on and tells us that we have to land at https://www.simplylearnt.com/  Newark International Airport, due to mechanical problems. I reach into my pocket and cannot find any Rosary beads to use. I search my carry-on for a bible, no …

A Closer Look at RealTime UFABET Gaming

UFABET

RealTime Gaming has grown steadily since it entered the casino software business in 1998, but 2002 has been the company’s busiest year ever. One look at everything that’s coming out of the RealTime Gaming studios will tell you that. RealTime has carried on its tradition of delivering a top-quality, realistic gaming experience with the release of its Version 2.0 casino software package. This is its ninth casino release in less than two years, and the added features in each new version are attracting more and more players. The highlight of this latest package is the choice of five different Blackjack games.

 

Blackjack has always been a casino standard, but Version 2.0 takes the UFABET game to the next level with the introduction of Caribbean 21, Super 21, Face-Up 21, Pontoon, and Match Play 21. Each game has its own unique bonus opportunities and new rules that allow you to double down more often, split any two cards in some games, win with special card combinations, and play with both dealer cards face-up.

 

Multi-player Texas Hold ’Em and bingo will also make an appearance in the RealTime stable of games. Players told RealTime they were tired of needing multiple casino accounts to play all their favorite games, and the new software addresses that concern. “We want to give the players as many choices as they want when it comes to games, but we also want to make their account management as simple as possible,” says Michael Staw, president of RealTime Gaming.

 

The new releases are backed up by an excellent selection of table games, which include both single-zero and double-zero roulette, four types of poker (Caribbean Stud, Let ’Em Ride, Tri-Card and Pai Gow, and Texas Hold ’Em), War, and Red Dog. Graphics in the games are sharp …
