from Gambling News Podcast · host EasyMobileCasino.com
Dorothy Boone from Temple, Texas was planning a trip to Laughlin, Nevada which included some casino gambling. Taking the advice of some close friends, she and her husband decided visit Lake Tahoe instead. They ended up at Harveys Lake Tahoe in Nevada when Dorothy landed that big jackpot. She was playing 3 Card Progressive Poker when the winning combination added up to a $1,340,518 jackpot. She told casino representatives at Harveys that part of her plans for the money was to buy a new house. She is also taking her grandchildren to Disney World or Disneyland.In The Second Story, The Encore Boston Harbor Casino Experiences a Slot Machine CrashEarlier this month on a busy Friday night, the slot screens at Encore Boston Harbor went blank. The only message on the machine was to call an attendant. This was the result of an unexpected system outage that shut everything down. The Boston-area casino offers over 2800 different versions of video slots, video poker machines and other electronic table games. While the machines were down, the casino paid out any jackpots by hand. The system was quickly restored and all winners received their funds. Everything was back to normal by 9:30 p.m. at one of the busiest casinos in the area.In The Next Story, Las Vegas Gaming Giants Hope Stocks Can Rebound Three of the biggest gaming companies in Las Vegas have gotten off to a rough start this year. The Las Vegas Sands, Wynn Resorts and MGM Resorts all have close ties to Macao, China. This region has become the casino gambling center of Asia. Those properties were forced to briefly shutdown due to the outbreak of the coronavirus. They have since reopened but the damage to business has already been done. Business started to slide during the busy Chinese New Year holiday ahead of closing their doors. The Las Vegas companies expect the loss to impact first quarter results of their entire casino operations.Lastly, The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Joins the Fight Against “Skill Game”Pace-O-Matic is a large manufacturer of electronic games. It has been distributing slot-like machine games outside the legal casino gaming industry for years. The contention is that these gambling devices are legal because they are based on skill not luck. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board disagrees. Earlier this month, the PGCB decided to join and ongoing legal battle to state its case in the matter. The stance is these skill games are illegal gambling machines. The board’s lawyers also contend that they circumvent the 52 percent tax on winnings. That is what legal state casinos pay on their regulated slot machine winnings. 💵 Gambling News on Our Website: https://www.easymobilecasino.com/games/online-slots/ 🍻 Discover Live Casino Reviews & Bonuses : https://www.livedealerscasino.org/online-casino-reviews/🎰 Get The Latest Slot Machine Reviews & Online Casino Ratings : https://www.casinoslotsmoney.com/online-casinos/🎰 Subscribe To Our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQHM1hq6xNbrgBTFe__1cbg🍻 Like Our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/PlaySlots4RealMoney/.
