Nevada Legislature hears bill that would create state lotteryReply
I would hope that they would highly consider which games to offer and maybe leave Keno to the Casinos. Nevada certainly should allow every and all multi state games to be sold there. It will be interesting to see what they finally do offer but, as I said, I hope the Nevada lottery stays away from Keno.

Mississippi Lottery could begin funding education by 2021Reply
Had my dog not become diabetic and requires insulin BID, I would travel on the many free flights offered. I had every intention of writing a physical letter to the Nevada Legislature about the chokehold casinos have against a Nevada lottery. It is in their Constitution. Anyway, back to 'southern lotteries' in the Bible belt. So Georgia offers Pick 3 and Pick 4 three times a day; TX does it four times/day, six days a week. You can guess which day they don't play. My point is if there wasn't su

Appeal almost inevitable in Wire Act reinterpretation case, expert saysReply
The Wire Act (placing of interstate bets or wagers on any sporting event or contest) passed in 1961 was aimed at organized crime. At that time there was no Internet or any legal gambling outside of Nevada. In 2011 the Justice Department limited the scope of the Act to interstate sports wagering. In other words a person physically in NY couldn't place a bet on the Yankees using an Internet Nevada sports book, but they could legally gamble within state borders. The KY legislators keep proposin

Mega Millions lottery jackpot swells to $405 millionReply
Bleudog101, When one employee asked a shift boss how come Nevada doesn't have a lottery the shift boss' answer was very simple: The joints want it all. The Nevada 'answer' to a lottery was the progressive jackpot MegaMillions machines. When they first put them in it was kind of spooky watching the jackpot meter advance with nobody playing that particular machine, but they were set up so if anyone anywhere in the state played one ( I think at the time it took five quarters to increase the

Mississippi lawmaker forms group to study why lottery would be bad for stateReply
True, but bear in mind the Constitution of Nevada specifically prohibits lotteries in that state. Wonder who was behind that? Don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out! Love it when NV residents cross the border to CA to play and WIN. American Indian told me where we the $61 (?) lottery ticket was purchased in Arizona and darn close to the Nevada border.

Indiana woman claims Blue Chip Casino owes her $28MReply
Stack47, Over payments are known as 'leakage' and it's just an accepted part of doing business, but when the leakage gets enough to be noticed everybody gets heat. Players who complain they got shorted when they didn't are known as 'claim jumpers'. Another part of that is claim jumpers look for toursits who appear to not know the game and claim those players' winning bets. Once a person establishes themselves as a known claim jumper the casino will purposely not pay them and call security

$540 MILLION: Mega Millions buying frenzy sparks another jackpot increaseReply
This is one of the times I'm glad I live in the sticks, we don't even have lines here. From what someone posted about the frenzy on the Nevada - California border Nevada should really rethink their no lottery policy. I'm trying to make sure more than opne person wins, played a ticket today and played the same numbers for the clerk (which will probably go over like a lead balloon here but what the heck). That insuires you have someone rooting for the same numbers.

Nevada lawmakers discuss lotteryReply
I'm not pro or con Harry Reid but I see nothing wrong with Americans taking a piece of the action from foreign interest. I doubt there will ever be lottery in Nevada as long as the casinos and unions keep him in power. I'd assume the casinos and unions have control over most the politicians in Nevada so if they don't want a lottery, whomever they helped get elected to an office will be against it.

Nevada lawmakers discuss lotteryReply
The internet gambling bill was just to help his masters in the casinos and unions put the offshore guys out of business and rake in more for themselves. Harry (girly voice) Reid will never allow lottery in Nevada if he is in a position to stop it. That leopard won't be changing his spots anytime soon. I doubt there will ever be lottery in Nevada as long as the casinos and unions keep him in power.

Harry Reid pushing to legalize online poker for American casinos, horse tracksReply
Ried ain't doing it for Americans , he's doing it for the people that saved his azz in the past election. That was the casino unions of Nevada. There has to be a pay back and some pockets lined! I'm all for online betting, but it is solely to enhance the casinos of Nevada.
