US Target Stores With Illegal Video Blackjack Games
March 11th, 2011 by Site Admin
The gaming laws in the United States are not clearly defined and this leaves room for a lot of confusion and error. In addition to this, denying players the opportunity to play games like blackjack has several of them resorting to playing it in secret.
In Georgia, for instance where the gambling laws are clear to an extent, several stores are coming under the radar of the state authorities for hosting illegal blackjack video games. The latest to fall to this axe was a small relatively non-descript convenience store based in Augusta, Georgia. The store was subjected to surprise raid by local authorities from the county Sheriff’s Office after they were tipped off by an anonymous source about the activities therein. The store reportedly had several video blackjack games operating illegally at the back of the shop and police were able to seize cash worth $100,000 from the games. The shop owner will be facing plenty of charges and a possible multiple year sentence. During the raid, the shop was full of customers waiting to buy lottery tickets as the store was reputed to be very lucky. It was noted that the store owner could have been ignorant of the fact that the blackjack video games were illegal.

Blackjack online players are in for a good treat in the coming weeks as two reputed online gambling enterprises have decided to offer special blackjack tourneys. What’s more, is that the blackjack players will not have to sign up with one or the other casino offering the blackjack events, but will have the choice of playing at any one of the many online casinos across the whole gambling group.
The two groups offering the blackjack tournaments include the English Harbour group and the Go Casino group; both of which are run on Vegas Technology software. If you are already a registered member at one of the Go Casino sites or English Harbour casino sites, then you can try one of the blackjack games and get ahead on the leaderboard. The blackjack tournaments offered by the English Harbour group at sites like English Harbour, Silver Dollar, VIP Slots Casino, Caribbean Gold Casino and the Millionaire Casino are very different from those offered by the Go Casino group.
The blackjack tournament will be held in two rounds; with the first one going on till the 24th of February and rewarding the first 10 players on the board. The second event will begin on the 25th of February and end on Sunday, the 27th; this tourney will reward 220 players.

Online Blackjack Games Are Best Cure for Cocaine Users Says Study
March 2nd, 2011 by Site Admin
Online Blackjack players will be pleased to know that a team of reputed Swiss psychologists have announced that playing online casino table games could have a positive effect on helping cocaine users kick the habit. According to the results of their study, both cocaine and crack users who play online casino games like poker and blackjack will find it easier to quit and are less likely to suffer a relapse into their drug habit. It was also reported that playing blackjack games had a better success rate of curtailing cocaine usage than a 12 step program or a 28 day rehabilitation trip. The study was headed by Dr. Sylvie Petit Jean and Dr. Geneva Francois Crespo who only recently published their findings.
Dr. Crespo, who was part of this study, commented on how blackjack games in particular could prove beneficial. “After cocaine is used, it activates the reward center inside the brain. The brain released euphoric hormones and neurotransmitters such as dopamine, oxytocin and adrenaline which act as a mood enhancer. The same occurs with gambling: the brain perceives a reward from winning or the potential of a reward. The reward causes intense moments of happiness, which compensate for the desire to use cocaine,” he said.

Burglar Blows up Stolen Money on Blackjack
February 18th, 2011 by Site Admin
Dale Eugene Jasper recently proved that his ability to rob people was just as poor as his ability to win at blackjack.
A resident of Edgerton in Minnesota, Jasper visited a Pipestone Country church on Sunday to identify vacant houses. A Pipestone County Deputy observed him walk out of church while the service was still on and make his way to the house of a parishioner. The deputy spoke to Jasper for sometime, after which Jasper drove off to another house and was caught in one of the bedrooms.
The owner of the house later discovered the absence of two $2 bills, which he had placed on the table. Later, Jasper confessed that he had stolen only $4 from that house. Jasper visited another house and stole $30 before calling it a day. He then blew it all up on blackjack games at a casino in Redwood Falls.
Jasper was later arrested and was booked on 3 charges of burglary. In 2009, Jasper had been charged with theft and burglary in Nobles County and was even imprisoned for 45 days before being released on probation. In 2010, he was booked on 9 charges of passing bad checks in Nobles, Lyon, Pipestone, Murray, and Rock.

Bellagio Embezzler Spends $400k on Room Service for Private Blackjack
February 12th, 2011 by Site Admin
Authorities are currently investigating Marla Stevens, a blackjack player who stands accused of embezzling around $6 million. They are trying to verify if Stevens ran up a room-service bill of $400k by playing blackjack in her hotel room with a private dealer. Marla, who stayed with her husband in the Bellagio, has reportedly managed to spend $400k on room service alone. Investigators suspect that she used the funds to play private blackjack.
The Bellagio is a luxury hotel in Vegas, but considering that Stevens stayed in a fairly reasonably priced room which cost her around $600 per day; it is still unclear as to how she racked up such a high room service bill. While the hotel does not allow its guests to charge for items acquired from shops, entertainment venues such as blackjack parlors and casinos to their rooms, it only permits guests to charge for meals brought from certain restaurants. However, Marla could not have spent $400k on room service for food alone.
Robert Conley, a hotelier, voiced his opinion on the issue and stated that luxury hotels would provide a high roller customer almost everything he or she asked for, ranging from cosmeticians and prostitutes to a roulette table or sports point spreads. He also stated that a Las Vegas high roller can order a private blackjack or roulette table to their rooms and even run up a huge room service bill for it.
