Sylvester Stallone Gambles On Not Dancing With The Stars, by Greg Tingle - 9th September 2010

Hollywood hunk and all round macho man, casino entrepreneur and you name it, Sylvester Stallone has politely declined an invitation to appear on TV smash hit 'Dancing With The Stars'.

Gambling 911 and Media Man danced with the devil to secure more detail for the loyal readership...

Expendables writer, director, and actor Sylvester Stallone has passed on an invitation to make an appearance on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.

The 64-year-old gambling entrepreneur and actor was contacted to participate in the 11th season of the dance show comp, but decided against gambling with his current successes.

Stallone was far from the only famous name to pass up the invite; British entrepreneur Richard 'Virgin' Branson, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, actress Kirstie Alley, and actor Time Allen also declined.

Celebrities set to be taking part in this season’s show include singer Michael Bolton, reality television’s Audrina Patridge, David 'The Hoff' Hasselhoff, Brandy, and Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey. Gambling911 and Media Man management will also not be dancing nor appearing, before you ask.

Conrad 'Money' (MM tag) Green, the executive producer for the show, said in a statement to the press "We've approached a lot of people over the years. People say no for a variety of reasons. Some people like the show but think they suck at dancing. It's a lot easier to say no than it is to say yes... Every season you move things forward."

Check local listings for details, and don't forget to keep checking the one and only Gambling911 website for odds on many of the world's best television shows and all manner of entertainment industry based betting.

Stallone fans might like to check out his Rambo slot game at PartyCasino.com
and Rocky slot game at Noble Casino

Richard Branson's Virgin Games features RB in bingo and has also just released The Lord Of The Rings slot and The War Of The World's slot.

Australian Casino Wars: Casino Strike Action!, by Greg Tingle - 9th September 2010

Australian and international pundits... you want casino and gambling action and news? Here it is maties. The world famous Australian Casino Wars continue to generate heat and excitement around the world. It's not only the main two players in Australia - James Packer owned Crown Casino and Tabcorp owned Star City Casino, but now almost certain strike action from the staff is on the cards. Rampant rumours suggest that another "strike" or two is also possible, but that may be jumping the gun! Media Man and Gambling911 don the bullet proof vests and grab the baton and plastic handcuffs. It's lights, cameras, action, strike!...

Crown Casino Workers To Strike; Rumours - Star City Casino And Others May Follow Trend...

Australian land based casinos can still operate in times of strike action, which is a very good thing for the powers that be at Crown Casino (and potentially a number of others).

Crown Limited is one of the biggest employers of Melbourne - ites - (for the moment). Let us also not forget that Crown are also a major supporter of our friend (and maybe yours) Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest.

Multiple thousands of workers at Crown Casino will likely be on strike during this year's Spring Racing Carnival as part of a significant industrial campaign for better pay, and perhaps conditions.

Crown staff will vote on the possible strike action in the coming weeks after Fair Work Australia approved the ballot. Insiders are hoping they don't get the equivalent of a hung Parliament, which was the state of Australia's senate for roughly 2 weeks, before Julia Gillard was reappointed the Prime Ministership.

Staffers are seeking out a 13.5% pay rise over three years and have flat out rejected Crown's 11% offer.

The LHMU (Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Union) state secretary Jess 'Witty' (Media Man tag) Walsh said Crown Limited had posted a sizable $300 million profit and could afford the increase.

She advised any strike action would involve dealers, food and beverage staff and gaming staff.

"Members should be voting over the next few weeks, so the industrial action would occur in early October - it probably lines up with the spring racing carnival. Experienced, properly-trained staff are vital to ensuring gaming and alcohol are served responsibly at Crown. But Crown has sent a clear message it does not value the loyalty, dedication and experience of its staff. It only cares about one thing: making more money, whatever the cost to the community or its own staff. It has told staff it cannot afford a fair wage increase and needs to make changes that could cost experienced dealers almost $5000 a year, despite its $300 million profit."

Crown chief executive David 'Cashed Up' (Media Man tag) Courtney said talk of strike action was not unusual towards the end of long negotiations (the previous enterprise agreement ceased on 30th June).

He tipped Crown's 11% offer was equal to that accepted by staff at Burswood Casino in Perth, Western Australia, and more than the 9% accepted by staff at Sydney's Star City Casino.

He said Crown was hopeful of avoiding strike action.

If there was strike action the casino would continue to operate, Courtney said.

Tabcorp is tight lipped on the speculation and tip offs that another strike may hit their Star City Casino in 'Sin City' Sydney. Reef Casino and Lasseters in Australia's top end region would not disclose or confirm if they were about to suffer "strike action" (one kind or another), and no, we are not talking about aggressive boat people or the Australian or foreign Navy vessels, aircraft carriers or the like.

Insider rumors tip that they may be another kind of "strike", but that may be just heat coming from the readership of the likes of the very loud Media Man, Casino News Media and Gambling911.

A Media Man spokesperson said "Regarding the talk of another kind of strike in the Australian casino sector, don't look too deep into it. Our journalist and correspondent friends are known for talking things up, mind you, stranger things have happened in the past like the casino shaft man, Ferrari thief man, and even a couple of bomb threats a few years back, so I guess anything is possible. We think the hard working staff might just get the pay increase, and hopefully it won't negatively effect the share price. Mr Packer's operation is still pretty much head and shoulders about the competition so it should still be fair winds, and let us not forget the Packer and Warnie X factor, so Crown will keep powering for the foreseeable future in any event."

Australian Sporting Codes To Gamble With Integrity Officers, by Greg Tingle - 7th September 2010

Major Australian sports are set to get integrity officers, a pitch largely brought in my the casino like sports betting aspects of many sports, which has seen the integrity of the sector severely threatened over the past year, with the recent Aussie - Paki cricket match fixing being the most recent high profile brown stain. There was also a number of NRL, AFL and snooker matches questioned, and its obvious that affirmative and real, effective action is needed. For the corrupt people in and around sports betting in Australia the party may soon be over. Media Man and Gambling911 probe the sector quizzing movers and shakers, some on record, to help us find the way forward in the sometimes murky world of sports betting both down under and further afield...

Numerous high profile Australian sports betting experts has called on the major sporting codes down under in Australia to each appoint a specialist to oversee "gambling" - sports betting. Don't even get us started if it should be classified as a game of skill or game of chance. Might depend on if your an insider or an outsider. You know the drill.

Current leaders in the sports betting sector in Kangaroo and Koala land include James Packer 50% owned Befair, Centrebet, Sports TAB and Sportingbet.

Sportingbet chief Michael 'Sure Thing' (Media Man tag) Sullivan has been very forthright with his belief to see a crackdown and more safeguards and the like in place for the industry.

The sure one advised the amount of dollars being gambled in Australia mixed in with sporting bodies often having a "professional relationship" with the betting agencies, gave strong reason for the need to change.

"Not just Sportingbet but all the major operators have got relationships with the NRL so it's probably time to appoint an integrity officer because betting in this country is incredibly transparent," Sullivan told the press.

"The cricket betting is underground with Indian bookmakers who turn over billions of dollars with absolutely no transparency whereas here it's regulated, transparent and taxed. It's not just the NRL - the AFL, Cricket Australia and Tennis Australia have to embrace the idea (of a betting expert) and go to the next level because there's no doubt our turnover is starting to be very significant in both codes."

His stern and well informed comments came after reports suggested investigations into a suspicious plunge on an unusual "exotic betting option" in a rugby league match between the Canterbury Bulldogs and North Queensland Cowboys could be extended to include 6 NRL games.

A greater scandal is ongoing over an illegal betting surge in cricket, with three Paki "players" (performers?) suspended for now following a spot-fixing scandal over bowling no balls in the 4 Test against England.

In excess of 80 cricket matches will be probed into as part of a broader investigation.

Gerard 'Dollars' (MM tag) Daffy, who leads relative newcomer sports betting agency Sportsalive, advised Australia was the best regulated betting country in the world, despite some knockers not being totally convinced.

"Several other countries are copying our model of information sharing and knowing your client," Daffy said.

New clients opening accounts must pass a 100-point security check.

"It's the same as opening a bank account. We have that information, the industry regulators have it, AUSTRAC (anti money laundering group) have it and as we're finding out now, the police have it."

Daffy was happy to go on record and say you couldn't just pick up the Yellow Pages in India and look up a bookmaker because they were illegal.

"If you can believe the stories there's over $100 million a day bet illegally in Mumbai alone. John the bookie operates in a shed in Mumbai. The law says he doesn't exist but he holds a million dollars a day."

Daffy reckons illegal Mumbai bookmakers turned over in one day what Australian bookies combined held in a year on cricket!

They offer punters hundreds of wagering options including the toss, minutes lost through rain, which end the umpires would stand and how many players would be wearing sunglasses. Betting on no balls is under the spotlight at the moment, but no word on bets about if Australia's John Howard will get a job as an official in Paki land or India. Might be about 100,000 to one.

Bookmakers contacted by news media said they'd co-operated fully with the current NRL betting probe, handing over relevant betting sheets on the Bulldogs-Cowboys match.

None had been asked for any more particulars on any other NRL games.

St George Illawarra coach Wayne Bennett said it was time to stop the "exotic bets" on sports.

"It is an issue for the game, there's no doubt about that," he told Network Ten.

"They've just got to stop the multiple (betting options). There's just too many variables that can be manipulated too easily. I'd like to think we're all honest people, but that's not the case."

A number of offshore based gaming and sports betting companies are rumoured to have an interest to ramp up down under and eventually even have offices in Australia including PartyGaming - Gamebookers - bwin, Virgin Games and even BetUS, which has a stronghold in the UFC niche, which Aussie's have taken a liking to. Experts think that betting on pro surfing and some snow sports could be growing markets, but snooker remains on the nose, following betting and fixing scandals last year. It's unclear if the scandals will slow down or speed up overseas operators kicking business along in Australia, but interest is sky high and is likely to remain so for some time, new government or not.

A Media Man spokesperson said "Yes, I believe the sports sector needs more regulation, as does the igaming sector in general. Betting and online games are not going to go away. The internet is a global medium. Kids no now to beat filters with proxy and the like. Corruption needs to be stamped out, and more regulation and safeguards are the way forward. We need more quality people and brands in the mix. Betfair has Hugh Taggart, Centrebet has Neil Evans, Virgin - Richard Branson, PartyGaming with Jim Ryan. Maybe our former P.M John Howard might be up for the role. If it's on Australian soil, I think the Australian public would like it. Liberal leader Tony 'The Bruiser' Abbott, a former boxer, would be able to also talk sports and sports betting shop with Howard more often. It would be great for the business of sports with integrity, politics, and make more interesting sports media fodder. Hopefully the Australian Labor Party can help get this sports betting situation right, but I have my doubts. I expect Betfair and Centrebet to maintain their top positions and to drive forward innovation and safeguards."

Readers, what do you think of having sports betting integrity offices for Australia? Are you an honest John, or are you susceptible to do the wrong thing, given half a chance? Tell us in the forum.

Readers, know the odds, bet with your head, not over it, and have fun. Good punting.

Australian Politics Porn And Gambling Prober Quits, by Greg Tingle - 7th September 2010

Australia remains one of the world's hotbeds of political scandal, much to do with porn and other adult activities such as gambling. Yep, those Aussies love their vice, as evidences by digital footprints and porn probes a plenty. Yesterday a woman charged with heading up a porn and gambling probe quit, and more heads are expected to roll as the Labor party continues to cull dead wood, at cuts and overall wastes of space, all of which the Australian public ultimately pays for. Media Man and Gambling911 continue to dig up info on Aussie polies who just love their vice, be it porn, gambling or other "questionable material". Yep, we play 'Thought Police' and 'Big Brother' on the political brains who are supposed to be serving the Aussie public, but we give them a very good serving just to even the score...

Female Porn And Gambling Prober Quits Over Fallout; Media Pressures...

Down under in Australian political scandal is running wild, and some even compare it to 'Casino Jack', Bill Clinton and Eliot Spitzer magnitudes.

Readers will recall that last week Australian politics lost Paul 'Porn Laurette' (MM tag) McLeay. We also covered that former MP Ian McDonald has been seeing leaving gay sex clubs (paid for the Australian public), while he was supposed to be working - No Working Out or Making Out!!! and Rev Fred 'Nifty' Nile (Media Man tag) has also been skating on thin ice.

The Australian media was also not immune by porn scandal, with former ABC TV host
Andy 'Mummy Media' (MM tag) Muirhead of get this... The Collectors, being found to be a collector and huge fan of kiddy porn!!! Even Rupert Murdoch's News Corporations' Aussie website portal, news.com.au has been listed by some Australian government 'Big Brother' lists as being "porn". James Packer's Betfair sports and political betting website also made the Aussie internet filter "blacklist". Australia certainly has porn and other illegal, and would be illegal, material on its brain.

Hey, here's a joke just to keep things a bit light... Why is snooker like sex? Because if you don't sink the pink, you sink the brown lol.

Swinging back to business at hand and back on message, moving forward (thanks Julia Gillard), the Aussie parliamentary staffer who commissioned an unauthorised audit of internet use which forced the sudden and spectacular resignation of a minister just last week has now... wait for it...resigned!!!

Lisa 'Vagina Diaries' (Media Man tag) Vineburg, a HR exec in the New South Wales Department of Parliamentary Services, left her position after it came to light she had ordered the I.T department to trawl through the computers of all ministers and MPs, their staffers and all non-political employees in Macquarie Street. It's been reported in Australian press many times over the years that the human resources sector has some of the most seriously screwed up types of all, and this appears to be yet another example of that widespread belief.

Raw as naked data, which strongly suggested about 5 people had recorded an "usually high level of activity" or "hits" from adult or gaming websites, was subsequently leaked to the media, and the media (including us) subsequently had a field day, or actually, field week with it. Yeah, field week, with plenty of sneaks, and inside peeps, and yet more leaks, some into Tweets.

When quizzed by a journo about the report, the Minister for Ports and Waterways, Paul McLeay, resigned, and the Christian Democrats MP, the Reverend Fred 'Nifty' (MM tag) Nile, was forced to admit a staff member, David 'Dead Cunning' (MM tag) Copeland, looked up such websites for "research purposes" (hello Japanese whaling scientists out there in internet land).

Vineburg "took it upon herself to audit everyone in the building", a senior parliamentary leak said. Well, looks like she caught out a few who looked at pink bits, including herself.

The former HR probe Vineburg could not be contacted last night. Her relationship status is not known at this time, nor her preferred genre of movies, documentaries, magazine titles or gaming brands.

Las Vegas casino evacuated after bomb threat

LAS VEGAS — A man claiming to have a bomb around his chest prompted an evacuation of a Las Vegas casino for several hours.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal and Las Vegas Sun report that the threat Saturday turned out to be a hoax and the man was arrested after the incident at Arizona Charlie's Hotel and Casino.

Police say the man apparently wanted to commit "suicide by cop." His name wasn't immediately released.

Police say the man walked up to the security desk inside the casino and showed a security guard what he said was an explosive device.

Guards persuaded him to go outside and evacuated the resort. The incident also prompted the temporary closure of the Boulder Highway outside the casino.

Australian Casino, Betting And Political News, by Greg Tingle - 5th September 2010

The Australian and Asia Pacific casino, gambling and political scene has never been hotter. We've got Aussie casino king James Packer doing deals with Shane Warne, Crown Casino and other Packer interests on fire (in a good way), more on the Australian - Paki cricket fixing scandal, a legendary Aussie gambling yarn, PM Julia Gillard getting swayed by anti pokie campaigners, News Limited being named by Govt 'Big Brother' as a porn site, PartyGaming : PartyCasino VS Virgin Casino "war", Aussie casino wars, WWE pro wrestling - WWE gambling connection, bible bashers being fingered on internet porn and more. Media Man and Gambling911 continue to fight the good fight, and deliver censorship free news to your laptop computer. Sniffer dogs Bluely, Timmy and the gang hit the trail encountering kangaroos, koalas, Tasmanian devils, whales, dolphins, tuna and even sharks... yes crew, its feeding time again...

Politics, Gambling And Porn At Work: Labor Minister Quits; More Fallout On Cards...

A Labor minister has been busted by extremely naughty (and wasting the public's money). Another minister is knocked out in NSW. Paul McLeay has resigned after being busted for using a work computer to visit gambling and adult sites. Rev Fred Nile's office also have porn tracks on their computers. Who will be next? A tote should set up odds on who and when. Does Labor still have a major sources of leaks? We think so, given the info been directed our way.

Real Life And Death Underbelly: Dennis "Greedy" Smith; Crown Casino Death Plot...

It's that's time for your real life 'Underbelly' true crime fix. Once upon a time there was an alleged plot to kill former Crown Casino boss Lloyd Williams and an Oriental VIP whale and empty their pocket of towards $15 million bucks. Well, its alleged no more. Following the death of Melbourne crime figure Dennis "Greedy" Smith revelations have come forward that it is a true story. Retired police sergeant Brian "Skull" Murphy this week advised Smith was the mastermind of a 1997 attempted heist to hijack and murder Williams and the gambler en route from Melbourne Airport to the casino. Smith, who passed away in the Royal Melbourne Hospital this past Monday after a series of heart attacks, was traced to a number of other high-profile robberies including planning the 'Great Bookie Robbery' and went on to use the proceeds to establish his colourful and somewhat dangerous Aussie Bar in Manila, Philippines. The bar became quite the haven for Aussie and international fugitives and crooks. 'Greedy' reckoned he killed a man there who tried to rob him, and who would doubt him. It was the plot to murder one of Australia's richest men that has long been legendary bar room yarn told by the well-known former Victorian detective "Skull" Murphy. It has been denied by the key insiders until now. Murphy was tipped off about the plot and then told Williams. He advised one of Williams' staff at the time, Ron 'Winning' (MM tag) Winsall, had gifted him $5000 bucks for tipping off the casino boss about the cunning plot. At the time, Williams told the press that he didn't "believe a word of the story" but Murphy said it was all true blue, kill a bird with a strong, and hope to die. It was this week, Williams verified the story. When informed of Smith's death, Williams went "Well, thank goodness for that." Murphy advised Smith's gang had plotted to intercept (think Ned Kelly meets Mad Max meets James Bond) Williams's car on the Tullamarine Freeway and rob the gambler, who was understood to be carrying roughly to $15 million in cash! "My informant said that they were prepared to kill Williams, his driver and the gambler to get the money," said Murphy. The keen gang had carried out rehearsals of sorts, done surveillance and had established a "safe house" in Essendon. High-calibre weapons had been purchased for the dirty deed. They dropped the plan after the tip-off.

Australian Casino Wars: Star City 'Sin City' To Take Fight To Packer's Crown...

Star City Casino in 'Sin City' Sydney is whale hunting, and it's apparent they are hunting for the same breed of whale high rollers that James Packer's Crown Casino and City of Dreams have taken a liking to. Get ready for this...a $100 million fleet of jets (think Thunderbirds A Go) and its harbourfront to be modified into a wharf of sorts to shore up the world's biggest yachts which will attract gambling "whales" to Sydney. Well, that's part of the plan. Thing is, 'Our James' already has a lot of the key relationships with whales (and big dolphins), so maybe relationships may be tested over the coming year, depending upon the type of bait, lure and rod used. Whale VIP's will treated like royalty (hopefully better, since we're talking Australia) and pampered with luxurious penthouse suites fitted out with kitchens designed by some of the nation's best chefs. Yeah, but where's the casino babes (not already snapped up by Team Media Man and the Gumleaf Mafia)? That info may be under wraps and 'Not For Publication' (like stuff in the Chris Masters book sharing the same name). The casino's US management is also aiming high on entertainment, hoping to lure super stars like Michael Buble and Elton John who would headline concerts after its forecast $890 million makeover is completed at the end of next year. In the U.S high end casinos like Wynn have used a similar bait in country rock god Garth Brooks, who Steve Wynn pushed heavily. The 'art of war' tactic is designed to establish Star City as Asia's gambling leader. This would therefor have to surpass James Packer's Crown Casino in Melbourne to actually be successful, and at the same tie compete with dragon like competition from lucrative whale friendly casinos in Macau and Singapore. Casino boss Larry 'Moneybags' (Media Man tag) Mullin...known for his 15 years running US billionaire Donald Trump's gambling empire, advised a "no-holds-barred" approach was required to make Star City a must-see destination for the biggest gamblers, known as whales. Yep, its a casino "war" on steroids folks, as Media Man and G911 have been tipping for over a year. "The only limits are our imaginations," he told News Limited during an extremely rare tour of the casino's existing high-rollers' room, which will need to be revamped. "The game plan is to put us on the map so people travelling around the world put this casino on their lists as a place they have to visit. "There's nothing Sydney shouldn't be first for. It's the bigger and better positioned city. For the premium level, it will offer the pinnacle of what the world has to offer." In excess of $100 million has been set aside to purchase a number of long-haul private jet aircraft to fly whales non-stop from the orient to down under Aussie land. Currently under consideration are aircraft such as the Bombardier Global Express, the sort owned by Frank Lowy and Packer; the Gulf Stream 550, billed as the world's most advanced business jet; and the Boeing Business jet, which is used by Australia's Prime Minister (which one may argue would not be a good look, because of the knifing of Kevin Rudd, a well known figure in Asia. We're whale "hunting" but not "whale killing". Crown is the only Australian casino that offers offer private jets. Mullin disclosed the casino hoped to redevelop the jetty area into a wharf complex that would attract the owners of the world's largest ocean-going private yachts. "That area is the sleeping giant," Mullin said. "We'd love to accept those kinds of boats...the only issue we would have is that they fit under the Harbour Bridge." The consultants who created the Colosseum entertainment venue in Las Vegas' renowned Caesar's Palace will oversee the design of the new entertainment venue, which will fit 3000 to 4000 people. Yep, an all mighty war is raging that might have been right at home in the Roman Colosseum, but 'Sin City' is getting it instead. We're going to wait a little longer before rushing out to but Tabcorp shares, and suggest you do the same, but its your God given right to choose sides. You can taste the blood already as the war causality tally count is set to rise, be it officially or unofficially. Ah, the things that go bump in the night outside the entrance to Star City.

Macau: City Of Dreams Revenue Up 40% For Packer...

Packer has backed another winner. Go Aussie. Macau, the only Chinese territory where casinos are legal sees revenue up 40% to $2.2 billion in August at its 6 operating casinos. Rev peaked 6% to $16.35 billion in the past 8. A jump in the number of high-stake tables and the return of high-rollers (what Tabcorp and others are hunting for) after visa constraints were lifted was a key driver for the impressive result. Crown's 2 Macau casinos - Altiri and City of Dreams, are owned in a joint-venture, Melco Crown, with Chinese tycoon businessman Lawrence Ho. Melco Crown had been previously besmirched by some for struggling to match up to its US and regional competitors. Now Macau is generally more healthy for the casino business that those Las Vegas show offs and big mouths. Numerous analysts had flagged concern Altiri and the flagship $3 billion City of Dreams resort could not maintain their 12.5% market share in the expanding local market. However, it was reported this week that Melco Crown had in fact increased its market share to 19% in the first half of August after sitting at 15% in July. Media Man hasn't see the real books, but we trust them as much as you can for a land based casino. Although the August revenue figures were impressive, as insider said the growth was partly driven by higher capacity in the Macau casino market. "You're not seeing all the operators go up by 40 per cent. However, Macau is surpassing everyone's expectations. Packer was stripped of his title as Australia's richest man last year after his mixed and largely failed stab into the US casino market. A leak said on Packer's Macau "I think things have definitely improved over the past six months. They've improved their marketing campaigns and they've reconfigured the set-up of their main gaming, so that's improved the yield they're getting from the floor. And the opening of the Grand Hyatt hotel at the City of Dreams late last year improved the gaming volumes at the casino." Yep, Packer is still on a roll. Don't bet against him.

Aussie PM Julia Gillard Broken Promise Again To Clubs NSW; Clubs Australia...

PM Gillard has broken a promise to Australia's 4000 registered clubs after cutting a deal with independent Andrew 'Witty & Wild' (MM tag) Wilkie that will mandate smartcard technology to limit gamblers' losses in return for his support in the hung parliament. Numerous leaks and insiders say Wilkie will be lucky to last 6 months, let alone a full 3 years in Parliament, based on the amount of enemies his is making on both sides of politics. An insider leaked "He's a very prejudiced, discriminatory type of person. He tries to force his own beliefs down everyone's throats. He doesn't listen to everyone. He hates the Aussie tradition of having a punt. Bit of a mummy's boy. Kind of reminds us of the old Kevin Rudd". Rudd was stabbed by Gillard with a 'midnight knock' by 'faceless Labor men", before the blood had to be mopped up off the floor. Clubs Australia executive director Anthony 'Buster' (MM tag) Ball said the Prime Minister had backflipped on an agreement to consult the industry before making any changes to gambling and he threatened to lobby the 3 rural independents (Rob Oakeshott, Tony Windsor and Bob Katter), who will decide what government will win. Under the deal, pre-commitment technology will be delivered to every poker machine by 2014 and withdrawals from ATM machines in venues with poker machines will be limited to $250. The PM said she would override state legislation if state premiers failed to take action, but overnight Victoria and New South Wales said they would back the move. Constitutional experts said the commonwealth appeared to have the power to override the states, which net in $3 billion a year in tax revenues from electronic gaming. The pre-commitment technology requires gamblers to use smartcards, to track how much money they spend on the poker machines and to limit their total losses. Gamblers would be able to opt out of the scheme if they wanted. But, should we believe Julia Gillard based on her track record? The Productivity Commission recommended this year that smartcards were the "most effective way to target problem gamblers". It recommended gamblers should be able to "opt out". Wilkie championed Gillard's commitment to force gambling reform by using corporations law to override unco-operative states as "unprecedented". Under the deal, the Aussie states must agree to implement the cards by May 31 next year. Ball told press that forcing gamblers to "pre-commit" to their pokie spending, along with introducing limits on ATM withdrawals, would close rural clubs, cost jobs, inconvenience recreational gamblers and club users, and do nothing to alleviate problem gambling. "She's done this without consultation and without any evidence to support it as an effective harm minimisation measure. Julia Gillard wrote to Clubs Australia and committed herself to consultation in developing gambling policy. That commitment has been broken." The NSW government grabbed more than $1 billion bucks from poker machine taxes in the past financial year. A senior NSW government source... let's call him 'Leak #100' said he did not think the commonwealth had the authority to legislate rules on use of pokies. "And if they think they can make an impact on state revenues, they'll have to compensate us". Acting NSW Gaming Minister Jodi McKay said Gillard's announcement was "exactly the sort of conversation we have been looking forward to having with the federal government". Constitutional law expert and Australian Catholic (a religion!) University vice-chancellor Greg 'Christ' (MM tag) Craven said the PM should be able to achieve poker machine reform across the states within the limits of Australian law. Professor Craven said Gillard should be able to legislate mandatory pre-commitment technology in electronic gaming machines because the commonwealth had the power to make laws with respect to corporations. The Victorian government welcomed Gillard's proposal. Gaming Minister Tony Robinson said the state had taken the lead by working towards implementing pre-commitment technology on all gaming machines. RSL & Services Clubs Association chairman Bryn Miller said he expected the reforms would undercut the revenue of his clubs but the move was preferable to introducing a maximum bet spend. Rumors are starting to circulate in and around the Australian club, hotel, casino and entertainment industry that Gillard, Andrew 'Witty & Wild' (MM tag) Wilkie and Nick 'Mr X' Xenophon are currently making some powerful and very dangerous real life Underbelly type enemies and that they should exercise extreme caution. One clubber whispered in a straight shooting fashion "Labor knifed one of its own. Have a stabbing guess at what us fellas might do when the opportunity presents, and it will". A Media Man insider was overheard with "A real life Underbelly meets Casino Jack meets Casino the movie situation is brewing here. There's going to be fall out. A full on dictator type Aussie government in Australia won't be tolerated much longer in Australia. The people are angry, and some are calling for blood. You might hear a phrase come up...Aussie Gumleaf Mafia. Fact is often stranger than fiction, especially in this world."

WWE Pro Wrestling Company Does WWE Poker: WTF - Grooming Kids For Poker?...

The World Wrestling Entertainment company, headed up by Vince McMahon, fresh off an Aussie and China tour, is ramping up WWE Poker, with it getting promoted on the official WWE website. There's a forum and various tournaments, using the names of superstars, wrestling moves and the like. Years ago McMahon rival Eric Bischoff dabbled in mixing wrestling and gaming together with mixed results. EB's website says this on some of his business activities: BHE licensing has developed brand strategies, licensing opportunities, and retail distribution for entertainment brands including WWE, Playboy, Socko Energy, Hulk Hogan, LG, and WalMart. BHE licensing is currently working with Rainmaker Gaming Technologies and ID Gaming for a November launch of a Hulk Hogan branded line of slot machines at G2E in Las Vegas. Swing back to Vegas in 1999 and it was the then World Wrestling Federation who bought a casino but it never got past concept stage. WWF proposed to open on the property best known as the Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino, but now known as the Royal Resort Hotel and Casino. It's understood they sold it roughly a year later for a few million dollars profit. McMahon now doing WWE Poker may be a politically dangerous move, given his wifes' Linda McMahon's high profile position in American politics. WWE Poker isn't anywhere close to being listed on PokerScout (yet) which lists the world's most popular poker rooms, dominated by PartyGaming's PartyPoker, PokerStars, PKR, iPoker, Full Tilt, Microgaming and others. WWE toured Australia last month but no mention was made of poker or gambling, online or offline. A few years ago Ric Flair's association with gambling, namely Lotto, was tipped as a reason the company further distanced themselves from 'The Nature Boy'. TNA pro wrestler, Kevin 'Big Sexy' Nash (formally 'Vinnie Vegas' and Diesel) has some links to online gaming and gambling on his official website, which may be a one off in the industry. Media Man on the other hand has pushed the envelope as has a number of gambling and gaming campaigns running on their Wrestling News Media website portal, featuring PartyGaming, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair. WWE Poker is not particually impressive as yet, not to say that it won't become a body slamming hit with both Yankees and Aussies. Most of McMahon's other WWE entertainment themed side projects of late have been successful including WWE Studios, WWE action figures (Mattel) and WWE Comics. His past bombs included WBF (bodybuilding) and WWE backed American Football entitled XFL. At least he knew how to sell a land based casino for profit, so give the devil his due. Oh, McMahon has joined Facebook, plugging himself into the social media phenom, but thus far seems to have resisted his own official Twitter account, but his company and wrestlers are Twitter maniacs (in a good way). Side note, Hulk Hogan finds himself having numerous fake Faceook and Twitter accounts springing up on an almost weekely basis. Fakes are one of the main dangers of the internet world, but thank god there's only one Gambling911 and one Media Man. Often imitated, never, ever, duplicated!

The Late News...

Australian 'Gumleaf Mafia' fighting back against the 'Thought Police' and 'Bible Bashers', with some serious campaining planned, along with Clubs NSW exposing Australian Labor party lies. More resignations tipped from ALP... MP's doing the wrong thing. Sports: Pakistan Cricket team could be banned from Australia for life. If you have a bet, please bet with your head, not over it, and for God's sake, have fun.
