We have a week full of online gambling news with headlines about online gambling in Michigan, sports betting in Kentucky, poker in California, and tribal gaming in Oklahoma!
Hello friends and welcome to This Week in Gambling! Our last show before I take a week off to attend the International Casino Expo in London, England. So, I’m filming this early on Saturday, so if something happens… some major big gambling story breaks between now and Tuesday… don’t come yelling at me!
This week’s stories begin in the state of Michigan, where online gambling news was good recently. Legislators had passed an internet gambling bill, but the rules to regulate the activity will not be in place for at least another year! But hey, what do you expect from a state whose motto is literally “Land of Disappointment”?
Next up, its sports betting news from the state of Kentucky. Optimism has turned to pessimism in the Bluegrass State as sports betting regulation was expected to pass, but now rumor has it the legislation will never make it out of the Senate.
Also, poker news from the state of California where “alleged” Poker cheat Mike Postle was finally served papers in the $10 million lawsuit against his sorry ass. He had been hiding in his house for the past several months to avoid this, but he emerged and got served! Then, of course, he saw his shadow and went back inside because, you know… six more weeks of winter.
Also this week, land-based gaming news from the state of Oklahoma, where the governor says that Tribal casinos in his state are now operating illegally because their Tribal Gaming Compact expired on January 1st. Not-so say Tribal gaming leaders… they contend that their compact automatically renewed on January 1st and they’re doing nothing wrong.
I have two new game reviews to share with you this week, and if you like gems in your slots pay attention… these are for you! First up its Grand Gems, a 5 reel, 4 row game with 40 paylines from SYNOT. It comes with wilds, scatters, a bonus round, free spins and multiple with re spins which freeze their winning combinations!
Next up it’s simply Gemmed! from our friends at BetSoft! This 9 real, 9 row game also comes with wilds, scatters and an incredible 40,500 Paylines! You can find both of these reviews on our YouTube channel, along with hundreds more! And while you’re there, do us a favor! Show us some love! Take a moment to click that subscribe button! Don’t forget, no online gambling news next week as I travel.
