			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>The Obama administration cleared the way for states to legalize Internet poker and certain other online betting in a switch that may help them reap billions in tax revenue and spur web-based gambling.</p>
<p>A Justice Department opinion dated September and made public on Friday reversed decades of previous policy that included civil and criminal charges against operators of some of the most popular online poker sites.</p>
<p>Until now, the department held that online gambling in all forms was illegal under the Wire Act of 1961, which bars wagers via telecommunications that cross state lines or international borders.</p>
<p>The new interpretation, by the department&#8217;s Office of Legal Counsel, said the Wire Act applies only to bets on a &#8220;sporting event or contest,&#8221; not to a state&#8217;s use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets to adults within its borders or abroad.</p>
<p>&#8220;The United States Department of Justice has given the online gaming community a big, big present,&#8221; said I. Nelson Rose, a gaming law expert at Whittier Law School who consults for governments and the industry.</p>
<p>The question at issue was whether proposals by Illinois and New York to use the Internet and out-of-state transaction processors to sell lottery tickets to in-state adults violated the Wire Act.</p>
<p></span><span>But the department&#8217;s conclusion would eliminate &#8220;almost every federal anti-gambling law that could apply to gaming that is legal under state laws,&#8221; Rose wrote on his blog at www.gamblingandthelaw.com.</p>
<p>If a state legalized intra-state games such as poker, as Nevada and the District of Columbia have done, &#8220;there is simply no federal law that could apply&#8221; against their operators, he said.</p>
<p>The department&#8217;s opinion, written by Assistant Attorney General Virginia Seitz, said the law&#8217;s legislative history showed that Congress&#8217;s overriding goal had been to halt wire communications for sports gambling, notably off-track betting on horse races.</p>
<p>Congress also had been concerned about rapid transmission of betting information on baseball, basketball, football and boxing among other sports-related events or contests, she summarized the legislative history as showing.</p>
<p>&#8220;The ordinary meaning of the phrase &#8217;sporting event or contest&#8217; does not encompass lotteries,&#8221; Seitz wrote. &#8220;Accordingly, we conclude that the proposed lotteries are not within the prohibitions of the Wire Act.&#8221;</p>
<p>The department expressed no opinion about a provision in the law that lets prosecutors shut down phone lines where interstate or foreign gambling is taking place.</p>
<p>Many of the 50 U.S. states may be interested in creating online lotteries to boost tax revenues and help offset the ripple effect of a federal deficit-reduction push.</p>
<p>The global online gambling industry grew 12 percent last year to as much as $30 billion, according to a survey in March by Global Betting and Gaming Consultancy, based on the Isle of Man, where online gambling is legal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winward Casino is a “Golden Oldie” in the online casino world. They have been online since 1998 and they were the pioneers of the “no download” casino concept. Rather than waiting to download a casino program to your computer, Winward Casino let you start playing immediately using online Java technology. Winward quickly grew to dominate the “no download” casino category and they have paid out more than $1 Billion in casino winnings to more than 300,000 players per year. All financial statements and casino game payouts are audited by a major accounting firm. The average player payout is a very high 99.04%. Winward offers one of the most generous sign up bonuses in the online casino business: 100% Bonus of up to $500 on your first deposit. In other words, you can double your money with your first deposit. Winward has excellent customer service available by telephone or online chat 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Winward’s commitment to excellence, both in their high quality casino games and friendly customer support, has kept their customers coming back year and year, which is why they are one of the biggest and most successful casinos on the Internet today.<br />
Now, Winward Casino is bigger and better than ever. Last year, they added a download version of their casino that features stunningly realistic 3-D graphics and sounds that make you feel like you are playing in Vegas. Winward Casino is also the FIRST casino in the world to offer a WIRELESS CASINO that can be played for real money from your cell phone or wireless Pocket PC or Palm devices. Once again, Winward Casino is the leader in online casino technology. And Winward has not turned its back on its original “no download” casino roots. If you prefer to play online without downloading a casino program to your computer, Winward offers all of its casino games in both Flash and Java online formats. You can play more than 80 casino games in ANY format: download, Flash, Java or wireless. No other online casino offers so many options.<br />
But that’s not all. Not only does Winward Casino offer a tremendous variety of high quality casino games, they also offer more banking options than any other casino on the Internet. There is nothing more frustrating than settling down at your computer for an evening of blackjack or video poker, only to find that the online casino has rejected your credit card! Winward Casino has solved that problem by offering the most flexible banking available. Virtually all credit cards are accepted.<br />
With all of the online gaming and banking options that Winward Casino offers, they truly live up to their slogan: “Your Best Bet on the Net Since 1998.”<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="2">If search traffic is any indication, Sanjaya Malakar and Haley Scarnato probably won&#8217;t be going home any time soon from American Idol. </p>
<p>Both are favorites to be eliminated in the coming week yet a review of search engine traffic reveals </font><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">a different story.  The two were among the most searched for American Idols this week.  </span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Malakar has been listed with +165 odds of being eliminated this coming week on American Idol.  This bet would pay out $1.65 for every $1.00 bet.  Scarnato is listed with odds of +265, paying out $2.65 on a $1.00 bet. </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Both are seen as the least talented in the vocal department, yet Scarnato managed to wow judges and the public with a sexy performance this past week, probably the most talked about.</p>
<p>Malakar is gaining momentum as VoteForTheWorst.com and Howard Stern have been prompting their minions to vote for Malakar each week.  Seeing a young fan in the audience cry helped to thrust Malakar&#8217;s popularity even further. </span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Gambling911.com has noted, however, that Sanjaya Malakar searches were heavy long before making it into the Top 12.</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">&#8220;He was the most searched for Idol starting with the Top 24,&#8221; discloses Gambling911.com&#8217;s Payton O&#8217;Brien.  &#8220;His fan site is the biggest referrer to Gambling911 of any other Idol sites.&#8221;</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">This later stat is most interesting since Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks - last year&#8217;s American Idol top two finalists - had fan sites that were the two biggest referrers to the Gambling911.com website.</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Search engine traffic in general shows that the least searched for American Idol contestants are none other than Phil Stacey (last) and Lakisha Jones.</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Stacey was listed with +180 odds to be eliminated this coming week and unless he really outperforms everyone else, Stacey could be a goner.  One note of interest is that DialIdol.com had Phil Stacey among the top vote-getters this past week.</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Lakisha Jones, a judge&#8217;s and oddsmaker&#8217;s favorite, was listed with elimination odds of +6600 this week.  That is some excellent value.  A $100 bet would pay out $6600!  With Jones second to last in search engine popularity and seemingly in trouble with the DialIdol vote-getting results this past week, she could result in one of the biggest upsets in bookmaking history.</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Chris Sligh is the third least popular among searchers.  Blake Lewis is the third most popular.  Sligh&#8217;s elimination odds were set at +800 or $800 paid out on a $100 bet (for the small gamblers, $8.00 paid out on a $1.00 bet.</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Some interesting facts about search engine traffic and American Idol contestants reveal conflicting results, however.  Antonella Barba may rank among the most searched for American Idol contestants in that show&#8217;s history (in terms of searches over a specific time period), yet she got voted off before the Final 12.</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Don&#8217;t discount search engine traffic numbers, however.  This week&#8217;s eliminated Idol has sat at the bottom of search popularity for the past two weeks.</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Based on this data, Stacey, Jones and Sligh are very much on the chopping block over the next two weeks and American Idol is more unpredictable than ever, which ultimately can translate into some pretty big bucks for American Idol gamblers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Pinnacle Sports would have been the least likely of the internet gambling firms to pull out of the US market.  Then again, maybe not.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">It&#8217;s no secret that nearly every professional sports bettor placed his or her bets at Pinnacle Sports over the years.  Reduced juice allowed for betting $104 to win $100 on favorites as opposed to the standard $110 to win $100.  For the savvy sports bettor who had no problem laying down thousands on a game, this amounted to thousands of dollars in savings over the course of a year&#8217;s time.  </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">The problem with Pinnacle Sports, however, is that many of their top players (some of whom acted as agents) have been getting nabbed over the past few years as part of local US and state prosecutions.  </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Three years ago, a major customer of the sports book claimed in wire taps to be a part-owner in Pinnacle Sports.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">&#8220;Pinnacle Sports was regularly brought up during these conversations,&#8221; a source told Gambling911.com at the time.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">While the individual in question - who was in reality a High School principal - proved to have no ownership stakes in Pinnacle Sports, the bookmaker&#8217;s name had already been thrown out there as a result of the wiretaps.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">&#8220;With so many people nabbed in recent localized gambling busts doing business with (offshore) sportsbooks, it is only a matter of time before they (law enforcement) begin to connect the dots,&#8221; our source said. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">In recent weeks, some online gambling operators have fled Costa Rica in the middle of the night.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">&#8220;The Operations Manager of one sportsbook took a US Airways flight to Phoenix under an assumed name over the holidays,&#8221; our source disclosed.  </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Unfounded rumors suggested that FBI agents were descending upon Costa Rica to nab certain sportsbook owners.  </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">&#8220;Some of these guys have such huge egos that they truly believe the BS that is fed to them,&#8221; our source said.  </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">One outlandish rumor last week even had the PokerStars office in Costa Rica under lockdown.  Before Gambling911.com could even investigate, a follow up call confirmed this was just a false alarm.  Most legal experts - including legal counsel for PokerStars - believe that online poker, as a game of skill, is excluded from recent legislation. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">The US Justice Department has always been aggressive in going after those individuals believed to be engaging in acts of money laundering and tax evasion.  Operating an &#8220;offshore sportsbook&#8221; <em>onshore </em>in the United States (as some offshore entities do via agents) quite often gets painted with the same brush as the offenses above primarily due to the rather large exchanges of monies.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">&#8220;These investigations sometimes take up to three years - witness BetonSports - so if you were doing something the Justice Department or local law enforcement agencies deemed to be &#8216;bad&#8217; three years ago, it really makes no difference if you leave the US market now.&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Already, Pinnacle competitors are contemplating ways to capitalize on their departure similar to how PokerStars gained its extraordinary market share  following PartyPoker&#8217;s bowing out of the US market.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Pinnacle Sports has the ability to thrive in the European and Asian market place, unlike most of its US focused counterparts, though it is widely estimated that nearly 60% of its customer base will be wiped out as a result of this decision.    </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some say ban would harm businesses</p>
<p>ATLANTIC CITY &#8212; An Atlantic City without smoking was once akin to a casino without slot machines &#8212; unimaginable. But times have changed.</p>
<p>The city is now poised to stamp out smoking in the town&#8217;s 11 casinos. If the City Council passes the smoking ban on Friday, Mayor Robert Levy can sign it into law after 20 days.</p>
<p>That has casino operators worried that some of their loyal customers might go to more smoker-friendly establishments, such as Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun, the Native American-owned casinos in Connecticut, or even to slot machine parlors in Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>&#8220;Given the economic effects that the imposition of a smoking ban would cause,&#8221; revenues would dive 20 percent, resulting in &#8220;approximately 3,400 employees being laid off,&#8221; Casino Association of New Jersey Association chief Joseph Corbo warned.</p>
<p>State leaders never intended for the casinos to be smoke-free, because when the Legislature snuffed out smoking in most indoor public spaces in January, casinos were granted an exemption. But Councilman Bruce Ward says he found a loophole.</p>
<p>&#8220;The New Jersey Clean Air Act allows a municipality to create an ordinance that gives equal or greater protection (to its people),&#8221; said Ward, a healthcare lawyer who says he wants to protect the city&#8217;s more than 15,000 casino employees.</p>
<p>&#8220;Second-hand smoke inhalation is serious,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;There is no mechanical means to remove it completely,&#8221; Ward said.</p>
<p>The casino interests would love for the bill to be rejected, but they will settle for it to be tabled for further study.</p>
<p>Even if it passes, there is some thought that the casinos might sue on the grounds that the state, not the city, has jurisdiction over the casinos.</p>
<p>Reaction on the casino floors and in nearby stores was mixed. &#8220;I&#8217;ll still come down,&#8221; said Sal Lucchesi, visiting Resorts from Vineland, N.J. &#8220;But it isn&#8217;t very pleasant sitting next to someone who&#8217;s puffing away.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nearby, Jim Lesslie of Mechanicsville, Pa., frowned as he played a 25-cent slot.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been smoking for 60 years,&#8221; he said, &#8220;and I would be less inclined to come to Atlantic City if there was a smoking ban. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s proper for anybody to interfere with what I enjoy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Barbara Gale of Staten Island kept feeding her penny slot, a pack of Marlboros at her side. &#8220;I like it the way it is,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Playing and smoking at the same time is very relaxing.&#8221;</p>
<p>At the Taj Mahal&#8217;s Landau jewelry shop just off the casino floor, new saleswoman Julia Belikova, a Russian immigrant, said, &#8220;I hate smoke. It comes out of the casino floor all day. It should stop.&#8221;</p>
<p>Her colleague Anna Ferris disagreed. &#8220;People will just go to Connecticut or fly to Vegas.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the Boardwalk, Razik Khan was smoking as he stared into his empty gift shop, the Lucky Star.</p>
<p>&#8220;Business has been very slow this year. If people aren&#8217;t allowed to smoke, they won&#8217;t come here. That means less business,&#8221; he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winward Casino is a “Golden Oldie” in the online casino world. They have been online since 1998 and they were the pioneers of the “no download” casino concept. Rather than waiting to download a casino program to your computer, Winward Casino let you start playing immediately using online Java technology. Winward quickly grew to dominate the “no download” casino category and they have paid out more than $1 Billion in casino winnings to more than 300,000 players per year. All financial statements and casino game payouts are audited by a major accounting firm. The average player payout is a very high 99.04%. Winward offers one of the most generous sign up bonuses in the online casino business: 100% Bonus of up to $500 on your first deposit. In other words, you can double your money with your first deposit. Winward has excellent customer service available by telephone or online chat 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Winward’s commitment to excellence, both in their high quality casino games and friendly customer support, has kept their customers coming back year and year, which is why they are one of the biggest and most successful casinos on the Internet today.</p>
<p>Now, Winward Casino is bigger and better than ever. Last year, they added a download version of their casino that features stunningly realistic 3-D graphics and sounds that make you feel like you are playing in Vegas. Winward Casino is also the FIRST casino in the world to offer a WIRELESS CASINO that can be played for real money from your cell phone or wireless Pocket PC or Palm devices. Once again, Winward Casino is the leader in online casino technology. And Winward has not turned its back on its original “no download” casino roots. If you prefer to play online without downloading a casino program to your computer, Winward offers all of its casino games in both Flash and Java online formats. You can play more than 80 casino games in ANY format: download, Flash, Java or wireless. No other online casino offers so many options.</p>
<p>But that’s not all. Not only does Winward Casino offer a tremendous variety of high quality casino games, they also offer more banking options than any other casino on the Internet. There is nothing more frustrating than settling down at your computer for an evening of blackjack or video poker, only to find that the online casino has rejected your credit card! Winward Casino has solved that problem by offering the most flexible banking available. Virtually all credit cards are accepted.</p>
<p>With all of the online gaming and banking options that Winward Casino offers, they truly live up to their slogan: “Your Best Bet on the Net Since 1998.”</p>
