Weekend tournaments at VIP Slots

It’s Christmas Eve as I write this and probably you are doing something other than reading about gambling news and playing at online casinos. Hopefully you’re wrapping presents, singing Christmas carols, drinking eggnog and watching marathons of A Christmas Story on TV. If you love casino games so much that you want to take a break from all of that to play some games, though, VIP Slots Casino has plenty of choices.

The most obvious choice is the Holiday Feast slot tournament, which has been going on all month. The third round of the slot tournament ends on Christmas Day, so you are running out of time to join this part of the action. If

Ladbrokes in second takeover approach for 888 group

Frequent speculation in the M&A sector this year was that Ladbrokes would make a bid for online gambling group 888 and this is apparently about to occur with the UK publication The Telegraph reporting over the weekend that the former is making a £240 million takeover attempt.

Platinum Play running Christmas slot tournament

Online casinos are hoping you’re in the Christmas spirit. Right now you are probably really into the Christmas spirit or hating everything to do with Christmas. It is determined not just by whether or not you are generally a Scrooge, but also by whether your shopping is going well, whether you have enough money to buy presents, whether you’re being bombarded with awful Christmas songs, and more. As for me, I’m being bombarded by terrible Christmas songs at work. Sure, there are some great Christmas songs, but those are overpowered by things like a pack of dogs barking “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.”

If you are in a “bah-humbug” mood, you will probably have no interest in the slot tournament featured in this blog. In that case,

Morongo Tribe involved in another California poker initiative

You have to say one thing for the Morongo tribal band in California – their determination to corner a chunk of the internet poker action in the sunshine state is pretty impressive. This week the news surfaced that the tribe, which previously allied itself with California cardrooms in a similar quest, is involved in the latest attempt to legalise online poker in California, a legislative proposal launched Monday by Santa Ana Democrat Senator Louis Carrea.

The San Bernardino-based San Manuel Band – another tribal casino owner – is the third party in the drive.

The LA Times reports that Sen.

Atlantic City casinos may get tax break

As much as the casino industry is struggling in Atlantic City, those businesses could use all the help they can get. Profits have been down, in part because of the Great Recession and in part because of the competition from casinos in nearby states – such as the new table games in Pennsylvania.

Two Democratic State Senators Jim Whelan and Raymond Lesniak have proposed a bill that would provide a $25 million tax break to the Atlantic City casinos. The tax break is regarding freebies at the casino. The casinos are taxed for all transactions, including coupons for free games and other free promotions given to the players. T
