If you are trying to find a game that is good for you in terms of ease of use and comfort-ability, you might want to look at Wikipedia slot machine to see the descriptions of that form of gambling, which many people enjoy. But if you are already aware that there is only one game that you want to learn and that game is poker, then you just need a tutor to get you on your way.

Is it Gambling or Not?

The problem with many laws is that they are not clear enough for those that are hoping people will follow them. The fact is that anytime a law is passed, you then have those that will spend their time looking for the loophole in it so that they can break the law and then claim that they have not done anything wrong. What seems to be a common sense item now becomes a host of red tape as the “innocent” party then goes about declaring why their breaking of the law is not illegal. We see this time and time again, but lately it has been popping up in the form of legalized gambling. Many want to know if it is gambling or not to offer a slot machine to people to play on a computer. The law says it is, but the loophole lovers say that it is not.

You can go to these online casino slots CA, NJ, PA, it does not matter – and say that these sites are legal. However, many would say that if it looks like a slot machine, and sounds like a slot machine, and plays like a slot machine that it is. But these video poker establishments say that it is not because there is no money going into them. Players walk into these places and purchase “internet time” and get so many sweepstakes entries. They then sit down in front of the computers and skip the surfing on the web and go straight to these free video poker web sites and play video poker. But what about this does not make it illegal? What about this does not classify it as online gambling?

The prizes are predetermined and paid out in cash – just like a video poker game would be, but they call it a sweepstakes and for some reason that makes it legal. Not so fast, say police and other authorities. They are arguing that these places are gambling joints and must be shut down. The law has not specified for illegal sweepstakes/video poker parlors to be illegal – so for now they remain.

“How I Met Your Mother” Star Threatened with Fine

Jo — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 05:16:06 +0000

Actor Neil Patrick Harris has been in the news for a long time. Starting with his portrayal of a very young doctor in Doogie Howser MD, it was destined that he would be the topic of conversations all over the world. After Howser ended, Harris had done some very forgettable roles in various Hallmark movies, etc. but it was not until he teamed up with the ever poplar Harold and Kumar that he made his mark and made up for the lean years. From there he was cast in “How I Met Your Mother” and has been seen everywhere since then.

When he came out as being gay, many were shocked as they had no idea, but industry insiders said that before he announced it many already knew. He has twin daughters that are seventeen months old: Harper and Gideon with his partner David Burtka and they do everything together as a family. Imagine the press’ surprise when Harris is threatened with a fine when one of his daughters was caught playing the slot machines during a recent outing to Las Vegas. He said that they were all having a good time and he thought that there was no harm in allowing his daughter to play the slot machines, but casino security had another idea. It would appear that when it comes to underage gambling that lasvegasnevada.gov has really no funny bone for the comedian.

He says that they took the girls to the casino floor and in retrospect he should not have. He said that a female security guard came up to him and told him to get the girls away from the video poker machines and that it was a $10,000 fine for allowing underage children to gamble. He said that Harper was playing the video poker machine for maybe 25 or 30 seconds and a guard was there telling them to stop.

States Looking to Bring in Video Poker

Jo — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 03:04:31 +0000

There are many states that are looking to bring in video poker because they think that there will be a lot of income that could come from it for the state. The latest to look towards bringing in the games is Iowa and Illinois. They are both looking for an expansion of gambling, although they are going about it in different ways. According to news sources like http://www.foxnews.com/ both are sure that this is the way to shore up their flagging economies and gambling has been proven to bring in money.

Iowa is looking to bring in online video poker, while Illinois is looking to offer online lottery sales. Both are obviously looking for ways to bring in more money and feel that gambling is the way to do that. With so many online sites offering free video poker though, they are going to have to step up their game to compete with what is already out there. For Illinois, this is not really an issue for most of the people that are playing at their site are looking for lotteries to play. But forIowa, as soon as they open the door to online video poker, they are going to be looking at opening a Pandora’s box of online gaming options.

With so many people concerned about the ramifications of adding in online poker and the creation of what they feel will be millions of gambling addicts, the state is concerned about it going to a vote. The opposition feels that the state should learn to live within their means and that means no gambling – while the state says that this is just not an option with the money that they have been given.

Charleston is Playing the Café Game

Jo — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 02:58:11 +0000

It would appear that Charleston is playing the café game much like many other states are right now. By café of course we mean the Internet or sweepstakes cafés as they call themselves where they say that people are simply playing sweepstakes games or purchasing time on a phone card to play or use the internet. Of course what they are really doing is nothing short of online gaming, and these cafés that offer it appear to be popping up all over the country.

There are plenty of great online casinos out there, and you can find them by looking at http://www.gamblingreviews.com/uk-euro-casinos/ but that does not change the fact that many residents feel that online gambling has come to their neighborhood and they want these video poker webs shut down so that they can take back their streets so to speak. They feel that these cafés, with their popping up all over the place, are simply going to bring in crime, etc. with their presence and they want the police to shut them down. The governments of these states are also concerned for there is no form of regulation going on, and there is no one making sure that these places are not ripping off their players.

Charlestonis simply the latest one to crack down on the video poker and to put their web of police around them. They know that they claim that they are actually gambling for free, but they aren’t for they are purchasing the time online. The Charleston City Council is stepping it up this week and working to try and get rid of the ones that are already in town and keep more from coming in.

Addiction is a Powerful Enemy

Jo — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:11:42 +0000

There is something to be said for the way that addictions get treated in our country. If you have an addiction to drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc. quite often you will find that you will go to jail for breaking the law and feeding that addiction. Now, if someone is irreparably hurt or killed, then yes, jail time is in order. But if you are the only victim, or restitution can be made for the crime committed, then jail time is not the solution. Treatment centers for the various types of addiction are the only way that these people can get better. There is no reason to think that there is any other way to treat these people than in an environment that will help them.

Then there are those cases that show that our legal system is seriously lacking in judgment. The case of Patricia Mancuso Janowski, a 62 year old cancer patient who has an addition to video poker machines. Janowski stole more than $1.7 million from her employer over eight years to feed her video poker addiction. Her attorney says that she has been suffering from depression and developed an addiction to the video poker machines which is where she spent the money. Now, this is a whole heck of a lot of money, but Janowski plead guilty to the charges and was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the crime.

First of all, this woman is going to die in prison so this is a death sentence. She did not kill anyone – she stole money to feed an addiction and now she is going to die in prison for it. This is a fate normally relegated to mass murderers – and even often times they don’t suffer the same fate. The prosecutor, obviously trying to make a career for herself felt that the woman’s fate was justified for after all money is more important than a woman’s life. Instead, perhaps they should have steered her towards http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ where she could have gotten the help she obviously needed.

Guinness Book of World Records Has New Entry

Jo — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 06:24:17 +0000

So, when you are looking on CNN.com for information about online poker, you might be surprised to find an entry for Guinness Book of World Records. The two do not seem as though they would go together, yet here they are in the same listing. So what on earth would one have to do with the other? It all comes down to Poker Stars and a previous record that they set as to the number of people who logged into their site. They had already set a record of 149,196 player who all logged into the site at the same time and were playing simultaneously. However, there had been recent talk that the online poker site was trying to figure out a way of breaking that record so that they could get back in the news again – and lo, and behold, it would appear that they were successful.

On Sunday, 200,000 players actually logged in at the same time and more than surpassed the previous record set by the video poker company. The company used incentives to play – like buy ins that were $1 in an attempt to draw people into the site. The tournament was capped at 200,000 players though, which means that they hit the cap for what they could allow in. This means that the number of people could have been substantially higher if the site had just allowed the people to log in. The tournament champion was a Russian player by the handle of “sokoluk1991” and many were wondering if his sign in was his age – which would make him 20. it also makes him $50K richer for his win.

Money Could Be On Its Way

For those that have been waiting with baited breath to see what might come of the Full Tilt Poker debacle, there is some hope on the horizon. There is a German company that is looking to possibly purchase the company and take it out of the country and run it there. But in order for this to happen there are steps that must be taken first and this would open them up to the possibility of paying back their player for the amount of their accounts. One of the biggest problems is that the government released $150 million to the poker site and they were to pay back their players with it. However, this never happened and you have a lot of players out a lot of money.

The agreement that they are looking at would allow Groupe Bernard Tapie to purchase the company for $80 million. The current owners of the company would need to admit to wrongdoing and this would allow players to come after them through the Department of Justice to get their money back. However, Full Tilt has still not admitted wrong doing which is what is holding them back from being able to pursue this option. There is no guarantee that the players would get their money back, but it would open the door to seeing this happen.

The new investors will take the company and run it outside US borders, thus avoiding any problems that might be creating conflicts with the US government over offering any form of online slots game or poker options. However, some want to know why this would be allowed at all without the players being reimbursed first. They say that this has to happen first and then they can look to purchasing it and moving it.
