Texas lottery legislation seeks to ensure state's share of revenueNews Story
Texas State Sen. Jane Nelson, one of the Legislature's most vocal gambling opponents, has sidetracked a measure to extend the life of the Texas Lottery Commission by tucking in a provision saying that the state must receive at least a 25-cent cut of every dollar wagered in every game.Nelson's amendment to Senate Bill 405, if it survives the legislative gristmill, could doom the already-struggling effort to legalize video slot machines under the lottery's auspices. Critics warned that it could cr

Court finds that skill games are legal in PennsylvaniaReply
Casinos have had to remove several slot machines from the floor because the proliferation of skill games across the state was eating into slot machine revenue and reducing the need for slots. Skill games are considered unregulated competitors in the gaming industry that detract from lottery- or casino-based revenue. Overall it sounds like casinos are mad that people who are not regulated as casinos but are similar to casinos can make money from the same gamblers. Casinos: My

Tennessee Lottery computerized drawings flawed since inceptionReply
I Don't Like It Either! I like to witness the drawing in real time; mechanical, not computerized. Computerized drawings..... anything can happen. When you got a huge Jackpot up for grabs, people are going to be P/O! They're NOT going to be happy campers! To say the least Here in Michigan, the 3 digit game, and 4 digit game are still mechanical. But the Keno, Fantasy 5, and Classic Lotto 47.... I'm not so sure. Everytime I looked at the drawings on tv @ 7:29pm here in MI, and after the

Court rules grandmother, 90, will receive $1.85 instead of $41M jackpotReply
Comparing a Casino in Iowa to one in Nevada is not the same thing RickT811. The following is the news report on the win... I put in $100 and after playing $44, I saw five eagles line up and thought I had won about $3,000, he added. Then I looked up, and the large jackpot on top of the machine had switched from $18 million to $10 million. Then I knew I had won something big. **There is nothing in Pauline Mckee's case that suggests that she played anything close to $100.00 The winner s
