Striker Papiss Cisse Spotted Playing Blackjack after Wonga Row
August 29th, 2013 by Site Admin
A photograph of Newcastle United player Papiss Cisse playing blackjack at a casino after getting into a row with his club over the issue of its partnership with Wonga, a loan company, is now available.
Reportedly, Newcastle’s partnership with Wonga, according to the terms of which the loan company is sponsoring shirts for the club, has led to a tiff between Cisse and the club. Refusing to wear the shirt because it goes against his religious beliefs, Cisse had requested another shirt, specially tailored as per his requirements.
The Sharia Law prevents Muslims from benefiting by borrowing money, owing to which Newcastle’s Muslim players are unhappy about the club’s sponsorship deal with Wonga. Last week, Cisse announced his decision not to take part in the club’s pre-season Portugal tour.
Now a photograph of him playing blackjack can have a major impact on his stance. Andrew McNally, a Newcastle fan who took the photograph, said that the striker used £5 chips to place stakes of £10 and £20 at the blackjack table in Aspers Casino. According to McNally, several Newcastle fans had spotted him playing blackjack there, adding that this definitely weakens all his arguments against Newcastle’s partnership with Wonga.
Newcastle United has refused to make any comments.

August 19th, 2013 by Site Admin
Blackjack player David A. Hayes filed a lawsuit against Hollywood Casino Columbus after being robbed of his blackjack winnings of $35,800.
Two men broke into his house and stole his blackjack winnings just a few hours after he left the casino. In his lawsuit, filed in the Franklin County Common Pleas Court, Hayes accused the casino of negligence and demanded an amount that would be determined by the court.
This month, the casino’s lawyers responded by stating that Hayes was robbed “because of his own negligence.” The casino, however, admits that Hayes won the cash playing at the blackjack tables.
In his lawsuit, Hayes stated that the clerk at the redeeming counter ignored his request for a check and paid him in cash. He further stated that she asked him produce his driver’s license and took down his address and other identification information, after which she held it up for confirmation so that it became “visible to anyone in the vicinity.”
The police have confirmed that Hayes was robbed at gunpoint in his residence by two men who demanded “the money you won tonight.”
The casino has responded by stating that Hayes lost money because of “unforeseeable misconduct by third parties over whom it had no control.”

10 Companies to Provide Mobile Games for Facebook
August 8th, 2013 by Site Admin
Ten providers of mobile games have agreed to supply casino games, including blackjack and others, for the users of mobile Facebook.
Realizing that mobile devices are becoming increasingly popular, gaming content providers are rolling out more mobile games. Online casinos are also signing deals with providers of mobile gaming software programs to provide mobile gaming services to customers. Online casinos that have failed to provide a mobile casino as a side product are unable to retain their existing customer base and attract new customers.
Surprisingly, the largest social networking site in the world, which has millions of users from all over the world, has still not made mobile games available to its users. Facebook users have already made it quite clear that they would like to play games on the move. The company, therefore, announced that it will provide a new platform for developers of mobile games to launch their titles. Launched on a trial basis, the project aims to give medium and small developers an opportunity to make their titles available to a global audience.
Brainbow, 5th Planet, Certain Affinity, Gameloft, Dragonplay, Outplay Entertainment, Gamevil, Space Ape, KiwiGames, and WeMade Entertainment have agreed to provide mobile games for Facebook, and the list is expected to grow.

August 5th, 2013 by Site Admin
Oaklawn will be offering live blackjack from July 22, Monday. Currently, a video screen is the only way players can view their cards.
Speaking about the development, Bobby Geiger, director (gaming and wagering) at Oaklawn, said that customers have been requesting live blackjack ever since the company launched table games, adding that Oaklawn staff has to invest plenty of time and efforts to make live blackjack a reality. He also said that Oaklawn is hiring and training croupiers for the same.
The cards will be dealt from a shoe with six decks of cards, after which an electronic eye will read them and enable players to place their bets via an electronic system. Stating that the system is very popular in Southland Gaming and Racing, West Memphis, Geiger said that he expects the games to get equally popular in Oaklawn too, which is why the race track is changing all the eight blackjack games it offers.
Oaklawn is also making plans to add over 50,000 square feet to its existing gambling area, and work on the same is expected to begin in May 2014. The move is expected to generate more job opportunities for residents.
