The Poker Player Alliance has over 1 Million poker members and is a very powerful non-profit organization.  The organization consist of poker players all over the United States who’s main goal is to protect the rights  of all Poker Players in the United States.  The attitude of the members in  this group is pretty much like any  non-profit organization, they just want their voice to be heard because they feel that they are getting a raw deal.  If you watch the video that they have available for anyone to watch on their web site, the census is that the government is taking another right away from us Americans. They just want to play Poker.

The video on the website is short and sweet, there are four or five members of (PPA) on the video and they are pretty much just telling you how they feel about the laws that prevent them from playing online poker, or any gambling at all on the internet.  They make a couple of great points and if you have not been following what has been going on in the online gambling news recently, they are talking about the new laws that have come into effect that make it illegal to do any type of online gambling.

Another Hot Topic that is rolling around in the (PPA) is the fact that if Presidential Candidate Barack Obama does become President that he is going to pass a law that allows each state to make  the choice whether or not it is legal or illegal to gamble online.  Congress which is currently controlled by the Democrats could pass a law to make online gambling legal now, however, President George W. Bush, who is a Republican, would just simply veto it.  This is why the (PPA) is waiting , hoping  Obama wins the upcoming election.   

The Poker Players Alliance is currently working with Congress to pass a bill that allows the people of the United States to legally gamble online.  They, (PPA) just want Internet Poker to be licensed and regulated and once this happens you know that the government will make some money in the deal.  The people just dont want it be illegal, there are bigger fish to fry, just regulate it, tax it, and let it grow.  Online Poker is already a multi- million dollar industry so why not legalized it, lt people spend their money the way they want to, and everyone will be happy.

Today on Capital Hill a bill was passed that prevents  people from purchasing lottery tickets online.  Before today, people could simply go to their computer and purchase their lottery tickets.  Most of the lottery money feeds the state school systems. With this being said Capital Hill is now taking away from our children. Is this the right thing to do?  The government has  so many different things to worry about in today’s world, why is it they feel the need to take from the kids?

Banks have the job of trying to figure out which gambling sites are legal and which one’s are not.  The problem here is that the banks are not qualified to do this.  So the governments solution to this was to just cut all Internet gambling deposits out of the equation.  Unfortunately this is what is going to hurt the kids in the long run.  This bill might get overturned in the future, however, in the mean time our schools lose funding.  If you remember the Florida lottery was designed Solly to help with the financing of public schools.

Weeding out the illegal online gambling sites now becomes the job of the consumers.  The government agrees that the schools funding is worth protecting, however, we the consumer have to figure out where to put our money.  Another negative aspect of what has happened today in Capital Hill is the bank are going to be way more st-rick on who they accept money from.  In Las Vegas where gambling is legal will also be affected because the banks there as well have been affected by this vote as well. 

The bottom line is this, where are we as citizens of the United States going to draw the line as far as the government controlling what we do on a daily basis.  Are we ever going to stand up to the man..  Lets start here. Lets all write congress and tell them how we feel. This is outrageous, and we should not tolerate this. All these band aids we come up with for problems are going to some day fall off and then we will be in deeper then before.  One day we are going to wake up and we all will have a bar code on are foreheads.  Is that extreme? or is it Biblical? lol Have a great day.

Poker players all around the U.S. are hoping that Obama is going to pass a new law that allows Online Gambling in the U.S.  The on;y way to insure that this law passes is to first get Obama elected as president.  Obama has admitted to being a card player, he has stated in the past that he would rather have the U.S. regulate the Online Casinos than make people criminals because they participate in it.  Poker players at the World Series of Poker are hoping that the law changes soon and they believe that Barack Obama is the man to do it.

Obama is currently leading over McCain in most projections for the presidency, so most of the Professional Gambling Players for the World Series are not worried. The Professional Poker players have made mention that if Obama runs his presidency the way he plays poker, they will sleep good at night.  It has also been said that when Obama does become president the Online Casino market will explode and people all around the U.S. will get to see how much fun and how much money can be made because Online Gambling is now legal.

On October 13, 2006 president George W. Bush signed the SAFE Port Act, which has changed the way the government regulates gambling. It used to be each state controlled  what the rules where. Since the bill was passed now the government regulates it. Well because the Congress is controlled by the Democrats they could squeeze a bill through the Senate, however, Bush would veto it. So we just have to wait for Obama to be there to let it fly.

Assuming Obama is nominated and wins, the Democrats will keep control of Congress and there will be a change in federal law.   It probably won’t take affect until 2010, or even later.  The law will go back to allowing the states to decide. If a state wants to allow the residents to bet online, then they can.  This is how horse racing exist today.  So if you want to gamble online, vote for Obama.

There is a new Online Casino that is being launched by a Malaysian gaming group called Circus Casino.  This casino is owned and operated by Genting Stanley Alderney LTD.  There is only a select few who will be able to play for real money at this web site.  Only individuals who live in the Channel Islands, Isle of Man and people who live in the U.K. All others can still play the games and visit Circus Casino, however they can only play the games for fun.

Genting International owns and operates 44 casinos in Britain and are proud that Circus Casino will be using Playtech Software to ensure the Ultimate Gaming Experience. This software is designed to ensure that all the dice as well as cards appear randomly.  This has been a big concern for the players of Online Casinos.  The player obviously want to know that their gaming is not fixed, in other words they want to know that the games are fair.  most players understand the fact that it is gambling and it not if they win or lose, it’s when and how much?

Genting International is one of the largest companies in Malaysia and they also own and operate  resorts in Australia, America, Philippines as well as the U.K.  They are currently constructing a resort in Singapore that is estimated to cost over 6 billion dollars.  There is going to be a Universal Studios on the same site, which will include a water park, with rides , casinos and 6 hotels.  This sounds like a place I want to go to and try my luck at their casinos.

Circus Casino is backed by a very successful business company and at the rate they are growing I can’t see them doing anything but high end quality jobs. It’s pretty much like whatever Genting International gets involved with or just touches turn to gold.

Online Casinos are on the rage, not only here in the United States but all over the world.  One of the unique things about Online Casinos, is that you can play against anyone in the world.  Online Casinos have come a long way since they have been around, there are several different types of software that they use and this makes the Online Casino business competitive.  If you are thinking about playing games on the computer there are a few basic rules you should know before making any deposits.

Rule number 1 is do some research on the Online Casino you are interested in.  You can Google any name of the casinos to find out more about them.  Another way to find out information about them is go to casino news on the web. What you will find is updated news information that tells you what is going on with Online Casinos currently.  What you are looking for is any negative news concerning specific web sites.

Rule number 2, once you have found the Online Casino you want to deal with spend some time playing for free before you make any deposits.  This is very important because there are some games on some web sites that are not high payout games.  You need to find the games you feel comfortable playing.  There are so many different New Player programs out there and they will give you free money to start with them.

Once you start making deposits and playing for real you will see that the games are geared to keep you in front of the computer for hours on end. This is a good thing because the longer you are online the better  your odds get.  You might at first want to only play for lets say  1 hour, well if you stay longer you will find that you will start winning more.  You always need to play the max bet, this will raise your payout percentage.  Also remember to take your time while playing, there is no time limit. Sit back and relax, enjoy each game.

Atlantic City Is currently involved in a  debate as far as smoking inside casinos. Donald Trump in a interview last week made the comment that he is against smoking in general, however, because he owns a casino , he said that he wishes this new law does not go into affect.  Mr. Trump mentioned in his interview that if the new law were to pass that he would lose millions in revenue on a monthly basis.  Mr. Trump also stated that more than half of his guest that do stay in his hotels as well as his casinos are smokers and he is siding with them.

Smoking is permitted in Philadelphia’s casinos  as well as New Jersey, so Donald is asking all of the other casino  owners to sue over the smoking ban.  Mr. Trump is not a smoker, however he is a great businessman and when he see’s that something is going to affect his profits he will speak up.  Donald Trump is definitely known for his hit TV. show as well as many of his business ventures.

Tom Myers of All Star Casinos made mention in an interview that the smoking ban will cause his gambling revenue to drop 30% and his alcohol consumption % will drop more than that. In Washington 6 casinos have closed their doors already due to revenue loss.  Ironically some local youth sports , soccer, swimming and baseball actually get their funding from Bingo and other gambling taxes.  So as you can see, in the long run this smoking ban will even hurt the kids.

In closing,  is this the right thing to do? Tell people who live in the United States of America that they can’t do what they have been doing anymore.  If they take smoking away from the gamblers, then they will just move to a casino that does allow it.  Like a famous man once said “ Can’t we all just get along. “
