Top 10 Best and Worst Things about Las Vegas
18 January 2012 | By: Casinotop10 No one has described life in life in Las Vegas better than the blogger VegasRex. Today, we continue to revisit some of his most memorable posts. When you read Rexs work you get a quite contradictive picture of Las Vegas.He loves some aspects of the city and hates others, and sometimes you get the feeling he loves that he hates and hates that he loves.Whats for sure though, Sin City is a place that leaves you with opinions.But is it paradise or pure filth? 10 Best Things about Living in Las Vegas I’ve crapped on Las Vegas quite a bit in the past, oh … six years … but living in the town is certainly not all bad.There are definitely some compelling reasons to move to the city. There are absolutely some things to love about living on Dirt Island.Read the full post>> 10 Worst Things about Living in Las Vegas Ok, Rex couldnt even come up with 10 good things about Vegas.Do you think it was easier to come up with 10 bad things?I must admit that this one was much easier to write. It was so easy to write that I had to force myself to cut it short, somewhere over 5,000 words, and break it into separate articles.So what you have to look forward to is a five-piece article with Rex hating on basically everything Las Vegas has to offer. Its understandable why he finally decided to move.But then again, now he lives in the Portland region, where his hate can be directed towards the high hipster density. And that, my friends, is pure hate from the heart.Read the full post>>

Living in Las Vegas The Uncensored Truth
11 January 2012 | By: Casinotop10 Very few describe life in Las Vegas as it really is the unpolished version, what happens behind the facades. The blogger VegasRex did this. He put all the filth from the town he loves in the spotlight. For a lot of people blogging is more about pleasing your sponsors than having an opinion.Unfortunately this often pays off. Like Rex says,I could have easily spent my days and nights blowing air-kisses and exchanging phony and insincere pleasantries at PR events. Las Vegas welcomes ass-kissing wannabes with open arms, and this is a lure and a temptation that most bloggers simply cannot resist.What made VegasRex unique is that he never sold out. You can agree or disagree with his political rants, but calling him a sellout impossible.I never let the Las Vegas machine corrupt the content. Whether I was right or wrong, popular or unpopular, I took a position and I was always sincere, he says.We were fortunate to have Rex writing for us before he realized Las Vegas was killing him and decided to move to the North West.As a tribute to the best Las Vegas blogger ever, here is a collection of his best, most popular posts on CasinoTop10.Wanna know the truth of Las Vegas?Read on. Vindication is Mine Common sense should tell you that I do not think that everyone in Vegas is stupid. This would be statistically impossible. Not all Canadians have small wieners, and not all Las Vegans are dumb … it’s just that the majority of them do and are.

Awful Bets – Why Do We Make Them?

Awful Bets Why Do We Make Them?
Bad bets attract the equivalent of billions of dollars in wagers from millions of individuals around the world each and every week. Most professional gamblers look on the promoters advantages through the gambler to determine if a specific wager is actually a bad bet. If the promoter has an benefits of three % or far more, it really is regarded a undesirable bet. Every single day hundreds of thousands of individuals buy lottery tickets without the slightest consideration of the promoters advantage. Between the promoter and the Government as a lot as 50 percent is removed from the prize pool either prior to or partly prior to for overheads and after the draw as tax. If that is certainly not negative enough, the gamblers odds of winning a prize of any description are thousands to one in opposition to and the odds of winning the major one are millions to one against. Quite a few of the players making these bets are nicely mindful that they have only a very slim chance of winning a serious prize but most are amazed when shown the mathematical odds against such a win. My wife is properly mindful of the odds except each and every week, she plays a set number of games in Gold Lotto, a local lottery type casino game thats somewhat related to Keno. Bingo is an additional classic example of a bad bet. Thousands and thousands of people wager on it each week. A return of seventy-five pct of the take to players is regarded as a good return in bingo. The odds in opposition to acquiring a bingo and the low return to gamblers make this a classic unhealthy bet. The Massive Wheel or Wheel of Fortune gives the promoter an benefit of about 15 per cent. Fortunately most of us only ever play this at fairs and other charity events so we know our money is going to a great cause. The betting house has an advantage of at least 25 pct when we wager on keno. I know this except whenever I have a meal at a gambling house I invariably bet on a couple of games throughout the course of the meal. Once you location a five quantity line bet in roulette and select the 00 to 3 wager, you may have chosen the worst feasible bet in roulette. On this one the gambling dens benefit is a bit above seven percent. Recall hearing the stickman at the craps table continually extolling you to wager Any craps? It can be a sucker wager as are all of the proposition bets. Electronic poker and Slot machines are all undesirable bets unless you read the placards on the machines. Because of the way in which prizes are calculated for winning combinations, you must constantly bet the maximum variety of coins or the gambling establishment will at all times win. That is why it really is better to wager on a lower denomination machine and wager max than to wager the exact same quantity as a single coin on a higher denomination machine. Right now most people today believe that the betting houses have a incredibly little benefits when you bet on twenty-one. Wrong, unless you might have mastered at least a basic twenty-one strategy. The use of this method changes the house edge from about five p.c to about one percent and this allows a skilled gambler to grow to be a normal winner. These examples of negative bets highlight our willingness to regularly make unhealthy bets. Interestingly quite a few of the men and women making these bets do not look at themselves to be bettors. This really is specifically true for the buyers of lottery tickets and bingo players. Cleaver advertising campaigns have popularized many of the bad wagers to the extent that a lot of folks area them with about as considerably forethought as we give to purchasing our favored breakfast cereal with the supermarket. This really is specifically correct for that lotteries. For the lottery ticket buyers, I believe that it really is the allure of instant riches fueled by the publicity given to the large winners collecting their checks in exchange for what amounts to no more than the cost of a couple of cups of coffee that induces so quite a few to contribute to a prize pool from which the vast majority will never benefit. The rest of us fall into three groups namely those that have made these wagers on a typical basis through an extended period of time without having ever questioning the wisdom of such bets, people of us who are overtaken by a combination of the euphoria of the moment and alcohol and lastly those who thought it seemed like a very good bet on the time. Of course youll find other a lot more scientific explanations for this but the afore mentioned explanations are considerably kinder to individuals of us who make bad bets. Might Lady Luck smile upon you the next time you location your preferred unhealthy wager.

Nevada Casinos Big Losers in 2011

Nevada Casinos Big Losers in 2011
10 January 2012 | By: Seth Shafer The adage “the house always wins” might be true in theory but not always in practice, with the $4 billion loss absorbed by Nevada casinos in 2011 a testament to that fact. It makes the third straight year that the 256 Nevada casinos overall are in the red, although overall revenue did increase from 2010 to 2011 for the first time in five years. Like other US casinos, those operating in Nevada have faced very difficult operating conditions as the lingering recession and high unemployment rates throughout the US have led to fewer tourist and gambling dollars making their way into casinos. Las Vegas casinos have fared slightly better in 2011 due to an uptick in revenue from non-gambling operations such as food, entertainment, and shopping, with convention traffic to Las Vegas steadily increasing and showing signs of life. The situation has been more grim for Nevada casinos outside of Las Vegas, which have fewer entertainment options to entice tourists from the US and abroad. The situation in Nevada is in stark contrast to other gambling areas such as Macau and Singapore, which have both eclipsed the famed Vegas Strip as far as total gambling dollars brought in and are projected to continue to log strong growth in the foreseeable future as more and more Asian gamblers stay close to home, especially lucrative high stakes baccarat players. Some Las Vegas casino groups such as Las Vegas Sands and Wynn have operations in Macau and Singapore, which have softened the sting of continued losses for their US-based properties. Both Nevada and New Jersey (whose own Atlantic City casinos are also struggling mightily) are contemplating shoring up some of their brick-and-mortar casino losses by possibly offering intra-state online poker sites for residents, with both states taking preliminary steps to either pass legislation authorizing online sites or setting up agencies to regulate online gaming if US laws change to allow it.

Pennsylvania Gaming Board Approve Rules for Casino Table Games

Pennsylvania Gaming Board Approve Rules for Casino Table Games
Casino name: Bodog Casino Software: Realtime Gaming Online Since: 1994 Number of games: 100+ Payout: 98.3% Supported Languages: 19 Special Offer: 10% Match Bonus up to Unlimited! Craps news In a favorable scenario, casino operators in the state of Pennsylvania would be able to offer casino table games like craps to its loyal players on July 4th, 2010. When Gov. Ed Rendell approved a casino gaming bill in January 2010 permitting Pennsylvania’s slot machine facilities to add casino table games, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board announced that it would take six to nine months to get the casino games up and running. After the Gaming Board’s meeting on February 17th, 2010 when a second set of temporary rules was approved for the casino table games, Board Head Gregory C. Fajt said that he expects the casino games to be launch sooner. Fajt said that the Gaming Board wants to get the casino games online as soon as possible but do not want to rush the whole process. The board’s staff got a push on creating the regulations, thanks to the state legislature’s prolonged budget discussions last fall that included approving the casino table games legislation. The gaming law permits the gaming board to enforce temporary rules for the casino games, bypassing a 9 to 24 regulatory review process. The temporary rules will be in effect for two years, after which they will be subject to the standard regulatory review process. The regulations approved on February 17th, 2010 will encompass training for casino table games dealers and specifications for table games. Casino dealers would have to undergo training at an accredited dealer school or a licensed casino facility or have at least six months of casino table games experience in another state. Aside from how to run the games, casino dealers would have to be trained in immediately recognizing problem gamblers and in CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Gaming facilities that are planning to conduct their own training, like the Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in East Hanover Township, are required to pass their training programs to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for approval. The rules also require prospective casino dealers to pass a live table exam before they can begin work. 2010-03-04Sophie White

Australia Debates Online Gambling Regulation

Australia Debates Online Gambling Regulation
19 November 2011 | By: Seth Shafer The Australian government is examining different ways to potentially stiffen laws prohibiting online gambling, including an approach similar to the US that would prevent or restrict certain forms of payment processing to online gambling sites. Much like the situation in the US prior to the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2006, the Australian government currently considers all online gambling except for sportsbetting to be illegal, yet that stance has never been actively enforced. That could change if the proposed changes are adopted that would task banks and other financial institutions in Australia with blocking payments to and from online gambling sites. Credit card company Visa and other banks are opposing the potential regulations, claiming that they have no practical way of successfully blocking just those transactions. While the UIGEA proved to be moderately successful in the US, it has also had unintended consequences, including the Full Tilt Poker debacle that saw the site go under owing players hundreds of millions of dollars after it was indicted by the US government. In order to circumvent the UIGEA, Full Tilt was forced to use payment processors that fraudulently mislabeled transactions as well as resorting to crediting player accounts for deposits that were never successfully processed; these decisions helped create the massive shortfall at the company that contributed to player funds not being available to refund players. Opponents of the proposed law in Australia also claim that it could make the country less competitive to other online merchants and services who might avoid the country for fear of non-gambling transactions being blocked or declined as well.
