Bitcoin & Gambling News | BTC Price Update, Foxwood Adds 55+ Casino Floor & More Las Vegas Jackpot Winners

Big jackpots are part of the fabric of Las Vegas as a casino gambling town. While the famed Las Vegas Strip attracts most of the city’s visitors, big jackpot hits can be found all over town. Rampart Casino is located in Summerlin, Nevada. Earlier this month, one lucky video poker player won $100,000. They drew a Royal Flush in spades to land the grand prize. Over at Boulder Station in Sunrise Manor, a video keno player took home $250,000 when their 10 numbers came up on the machine. This was on a $1 wager.  Bitcoin Passes Some Impressive Company in Market CapitalizationBitcoin’s (BTC) two-month rally to $15,000 in market price has also raised total market capitalization based on ArmyOfBitcoin.com. Valued at $280 billion, BTC has passed publicly traded corporations such as PayPal, Netflix and Coca-Cola in market cap. Among the nation’s biggest firms, the market cap of BTC would rank 18th. Apple remains first on that list with a market cap of $2 trillion. The driving force behind these market gains is BTC’s position as a hedge to widespread government spending. The current bull run could carry BTC to a new high in market price by the end of the year.Foxwoods Resort Unveils 55+ Casino ExperienceIn an effort to attract older casino players, Foxwoods is designating one floor of its Rainmaker Casino for patrons aged 55 or older.
