Tabcorp May Take On US Private Debt!...
Australian gaming gaint Tabcorp Holdings is looking at refinancing options as debt repayments near, and declared a preference for placing bonds in the US private debt market, its finance top brass says.. The firm would consider Australia dollars and other currencies, but the US traditional private placement market would be a natural place to revisit since the company has issued $US1 billion ($A1.11 billion) of bonds there, chief financial officer Matt Bekier told the press. "Ideally, I'd like to get 12 to 15-year money," Bekier said.
Traditional private placements in the United States have been a popular source of funds for Australian companies looking for long-dated debt. 7 Australian borrowers raised a total of $US2.2 billion so far this year. Bekier also said he was committed to keeping the firm's investment grade ratings, as Tabcorp embarks on an $860 million expansion strategy. Tabcorp is trying to fill a looming hole in its earnings from 2012 when it and Tatts Group are due to lose their duopoly on gaming machines in the Australian state of Victoria. This month, ratings agency Standard & Poor's warned it may cut Tabcorp's BBB-plus ratings due to higher debt levels after spending money on a revamp of Sydney's Star City Casino. "We want to remain investment grade, whether they are BBB flat or BBB-plus," Mr Bekier said. The lowest ratings for investment grade is BBB-minus. Bekier said his main focus was ensuring gross debt did not exceed a ratio of 2-2.5 times the firm's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. He did not say where the ratio stood currently, though it was within that range. "That is, to me, the bigger metric," Bekier said. As to whether Tabcorp would consider raising equity to protect its ratings downgrade, as suggested by a Merrill Lynch research report, Bekier is unequivocal. "The idea we would raise equity just to maintain a specific rating is a bit outlandish," Bekier said. Tabcorp has $450 million of debt maturing in just over one year and is looking at refinancing into long-term debt. Typical buyers of US traditional private placements are "buy and hold" US insurance companies keen on long-dated paper to match their liabilities. Bekier said the Australian dollar bond market would always be part of Tabcorp's funding strategy but would not be its core, mostly because of the firm's focus on long-term debt. The gaming outfit could also sell Australian dollar retail bonds, as it did last year when all other long-term funding avenues were shut in the wake of the global financial crisis. However, Bekier highlighted the high costs associated with selling retail bonds. "It was relatively expensive," Bekier said, adding that the all-in cost of issuing retail bonds was around 100 basis points above what Tabcorp could get elsewhere. Unlike Japan and New Zealand, retail bond offers are rare in Australia, where bonds are typically reserved for professional investors. The Aussie authorities introduced this year measures to to ease documentation and speed up the lengthy process to give that market a boost. Yet Tabcorp's Bekier said the regulators would have to go much further still to attract borrowers. Looks like the Aussie Casino Wars are taking on more of an international flavor. Debt anyone?
Greens Exclude Themselves From Cabinet: Betfair Fun And Games...
The two Greens members of the Tasmanian Cabinet have excluded themselves from Cabinet deliberations over Betfair. Greens leader Nick McKim and the Greens Cabinet secretary Cassy O'Connor 48 hours ago exercised their right to abstain from Cabinet deliberations on an area of policy difference. Labor members of Cabinet approved legislation to enact a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Government and the online betting agency Betfair before the March state election. It includes a reduction in the company's state tax contribution, a move opposed by the Greens. McKim says it is simply a policy clash that will happen from time to time in the power-sharing Cabinet. Bartlett says it's the first time the Greens Cabinet members have abstained from deliberations under the power-sharing model. He says the difference was handled with maturity. "The spirit of cabinet is a very positive one," he said. Bartlett says the rest of Cabinet supported legislation to reduce the company's state tax contribution to secure its future in Tasmania for another 10 years. "This is a clear indication that this relationship is maturing and that the protocols that we have put in place to provide for certainty and stability are working." Liberal leader Will Hodgman says it is a split that highlights the uncertainty and instability of the Labor-Green Government. His statement did not indicate whether the Liberals would support the Betfair bill. Political analyst Richard Herr says if the Greens oppose the Betfair bill, the Government will need the support of the Liberals to pass the legislation. "Well the Government will realise that if it proceeds to present this to the House and the Greens do not support it and the Liberals don't support it then it will fall over, it'll fail," he said. "Either they're betting the Opposition will or they are manoeuvring to oppose the legislation in hopes that it will embarrass the opposition." Stay tuned to Media Man and Gambling911 for more political and gaming fun and games, and Packer's Betfair (now understood to be off the ACMA blacklist) is tipped to remain in the thick of the action.
Punters Remain Excited On Aussie Election Result...
Australian punters wagered as much as $10 million on the election poll, with 1000s taking their changes on the craze that is election betting. There's is no sign of when the bookies will pay out or even when betting markets will actually close. Many are still taking bets on the final results two major betting agencies reported a flood of money rushing back to Julia Gillard on Monday afternoon. Prime Minister Gillard is neck and neck with Parliamentary Secretary Bill Shorten for the top job, says many punters. Betfair insiders Daniel Hoare went on record with "By Friday afternoon we had somewhere around $2.5 million on the federal election market overall. But at that point in time about mid-afternoon Friday there was about $3,000 a minute being traded on the election. That market now is bordering on $3.5 million. In the past few hours there's been a significant move towards Labor. This morning the Coalition were red-hot favourites to find a way to form government, but for some reason in the past few hours those odds have tightened right in for Labor and it's almost pretty much a toss-of-the-coin market at the moment and it's heavily fluctuating as we speak." Analyst Neil Evans from online betting agency Centrebet also noticed an increase in the total amount gambled and advised about $5.5 million has been wagered through Centrebet. "Certainly in the main book, the prime ministerial book, the market's still powering away," he said. "Hung Parliament punters of course have been paid and those who took the Coalition with the start, they're all in the winners' queue and of course most of the seats, but the battle goes on. It's been a very big day for the Australian Labor Party, who went from being favourite for so long out to a clear outsider overnight, with negotiations continuing. "But they've been backed from as high as $2.75 right down to $1.85 equal now with the Coalition. So the momentum back with Labor, the Coalition coming a long way out from $1.40 out to $1.85.". Some academic research suggests betting trends are a more reliable indicator of a likely election result than opinion polls. Newspoll, which is published in The Australian newspaper, was the closest to predicting the result with its final poll on Saturday. "We came out with a 50.2 two-party to a 49.8 in favour of Labor, which shows that we're very likely to have a hung Parliament. It was so close to 50-50 it wasn't funny," said Newspoll chief executive Martin O'Shannessy. Most of the other national polls showed a narrow Labor win, with the party ahead of the Coalition 52 to 48 on a two-party preferred basis. Newspoll had also been predicting a 52 to 48 result for most of the campaign and Mr O'Shannessy admits to being slightly nervous about Saturday's poll. "Obviously when you see a change like that, and especially the big negative swing in Queensland, you worry. "Then you look at it and you think well, a big move like that is much more than what you'd expect from sampling error, so the odds are then hundreds to one against it actually being sampling error. "And so while your hands shake, you have to remind yourself of the rules of sampling and you know and go with it."
Australian Punters Back Coalition To Form Government...(But Keeps Changing)!!!
Aussie bookies have installed the coalition as the favourite to form government following an inconclusive result from Saturday's federal election.
Aristocrat Not Concerned About Poker Machine Rules And Regulations...
Tougher rules and regulations on Aussie pokies are not likely to be a big ticket item of the new federal government, the gambling machine manufacturer Aristocrat Leisure has gone on record with. The company's half-year results went public less than 48 hours ago, and showed a 23% drop in revenue and a net profit of $49.5 million, Aristocrat's chief executive, Jamie Odell, advised he did not expect a new government would act soon on recommendations of the Productivity Commission's recent report on gambling, and did not factor it into his outlook. The report, published way back in June, proposes $1 bet limits with a maximum of $20 to be fed into a machine at any one time and recommends a pre-commitment system by 2016, for players to set a limit on the amount they are prepared to lose. The former prime minister Kevin Rudd referred the report to a council of state governments to consider. First things first...Once the election results are known, the new parliament may include the independent anti-pokie campaigner Andrew Wilkie. The Greens, who support greater restrictions on poker machines, will hold the balance of power in the Senate. 'O' told analysts earlier in the week that it was too early to know what all this might mean, and any changes would need to be managed "in an orderly manner through new product coming through. In the short term I'm not factoring anything in around the government because, like you, I don't know which government we will take or what influence that will have, but I would think with all the other issues around it wouldn't be the first cab off the block." Aristocrat's profit includes a $12.7 million sale of an asset, but also represents a turnaround from the $33 million loss the company reported this time last year, and its $157 million full-year loss. It reported encouraging results in its biggest market, North America, where profit rose 5.5% in local currency, but it made a 199 million-yen loss in Japan. Aussie revenue fell 22% and profit fell 46% to $11.8 million. Odell described the local result as unacceptable and attributed it to difficult market conditions "legacy issues" within the company. Aristocrat reported some good news with strong sales in Macau and in Singapore's 2 new casinos but Odell said he expected trading conditions to remain difficult in most markets. "We do not expect any improvement over the balance of 2010." Aristocrat declared an unfranked 3.5% dividend to be paid on September 30. Profit results were roughly in line with expectations, and shares rose 2.62% to close off at $3.52.
James Packer: Casino And Media King News Report...
James Packer's pay television investment group Consolidated Media Holdings last week said it would not seek a new standstill agreement with Kerry Stokes' Seven Group Holdings when the current agreement expires on September 10. The 2 groups reached the agreement last year following Seven raids on Consolidated Media, which raised Seven's stake in the group to 19.9%, compared to James Packer's 40.8% holding.
Mildura Jewel Casino Prop: Up To Public...
If Mildura wants a casino now is the time for the city’s “movers and shakers” to back the proposed $400 million development. That is the view of the man behind the Mildura Jewel entertainment and convention centre plan, casino and property developer John Haddad. In an exclusive interview with the Sunraysia Daily this week, Mr Had dad said the time for him to “push” the project had lapsed – it was now up to Mildura to show it wanted the development. It was a development he labelled “a once in a lifetime opportunity” for Mildura, one he hoped people would see as critical to underpinning the city’s future. “It’s a Mildura thing now, not a John Haddad thing anymore,” he said. “I’m not pushing it now – I’m standing back. “I’ve put the project and the idea together for everybody to look at. “I’ll await the outcome. “All I will say is that it’s an extraordinary opportunity that has been handed to Mildura by the government, to be able to decide whether it wants the Jewel or not.” Casino proponents have been buoyed in recent weeks by the level of backing from various interest groups around the city. Last week, a group calling itself the Mildura Progress Action Group met for the first time, its immediate aim to gain information on the development and the processes needed to move it forward. It followed earlier backing from the newly formed Advance Northwest Association, a resident-based, pro-development lobby group.
South Australian Govt Missing Millions Thanks To Online Gambling; Could Be National Trend...
Online gambling is clearly understood to be diverting tax money from state coffers as punters go colder on poker machines and give online pokies from the likes of PartyGaming, Centrebet, PKR, Virgin, Roxy Palace, Captain Cooks Casino and Media Man white label type deals a go. The most recent figures show a significant dip in the amount gamblers pour into the state's pokies and a $10 million annual fall in tax revenue. State Government analysis shows punters put $729 million into pokies in the past financial year, compared with $750 million in the 12 months to June 30, 2009. The result is the lowest annual outlay on poker machines for 6 years and has resulted in a Government gaming tax revenue drop from $292 million to $282 million in the past year. Experts say mass-media advertising campaigns have driven a dramatic rise in the popularity of internet gambling, which sidesteps traditional tax regulations. South Australian pubs and clubs have also suffered an $11 million revenue hit, which comes as smoking bans look to further harm the sector. Australian Hotels Association general manager Ian Horne said competition from both sports betting and online gambling outlets was placing major pressure on the industry. "The sports betting market is expanding enormously," he said. "Just look at the betting options for the federal election. The promotion of betting odds was unprecedented. It's becoming the normal way of life to bet on anything and everything." Horne said poker machines had been unfairly "demonised" while other gambling options were considered socially acceptable. A spokeswoman for Gambling Minister Tom Koutsantonis said the decline could be attributed to reduced household expenditure for recreational activities. "This expenditure is also affected by the Reserve Bank's increasing of interest rates over the past 12 months," she said. The spokeswoman also said the Government was working to reduce the number of pokies, despite figures showing 7 more in use now than last year. "There is always some variation in the number of live machines, as gaming venues may not use all of their entitlements, for example during renovations," she said.
"The Rann Government is committed to reducing pokie machine entitlements by 3000. "So far the Government has removed more than 2200 gaming machine entitlements from SA venues." Treasurer Kevin Foley has warned the state to brace for a tough September 14 Budget, saying the lingering impact of the global financial crisis has diminished revenue. Media Man and Gambling911 have strong reason to believe that online gaming and gambling will continue to grow in the Australian - Asia Pacific region, and many land based venues will continue to be hit hard.
A Media Man spokesperson said "Online gambling and gaming is here to stay in Australia. The internet is of course a global medium. Website portals, affiliate programmes, and media agency deals help determine where the traffic, players, entertainment dollar and media coverage goes to. Even Fairfax Media, News Limited and Google are big industry players now. YouTube may ramp up also. Website portal developers such as us have also done well. This is all fueled by media and gaming press speculation, and remains hot fodder for news articles. PartyGaming, Virgin, World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker remain some of the biggest brands that often get major articles in mainstream press, so of which we help facilitate, be it officially or unofficially. Smart Australian casino operators such as Crown Casino are starting to plug into the action, exampled by Crown accepting PartyGaming - PartyPoker.com online poker players as part of their Aussie Millions promo last year... one by an Aussie, and will be doing the same again this year. Google is pushing forward with Google Games on the back of Pac-Man. Marvel Entertainment, Sega, DC Comics and even Harrah's are expected to ramp up. Gambling911 and Media Man will remain in the thick of the action, even though gaming and sports betting are only 2 of about a dozen of sectors covered. Many media companies are heding thier bets are offering strong coverge, while also covering many of industries like tech, politics, entertainment and the like. Some brands like Party and Virgin are in a number of sectors which is very exciting and profitable. Online variations of Cleopatra, Monopoly and Sinatra remain the top slots, with Tomb Raider enjoying a second wind, with 3D games like Heist on the upswing too. The industry is looking forward to a further improved remainder of the year, and punters will be able to benifit from great promos and deals, so its a win - win - win".

Is Crown Casino Management In A Battle With Chef Gordon Ramsay?...What's Cooking?...
That's the question on the lips of Australia's foodie and casino industry. Numerous Australian editors and journalists are now saying the fight is on. Too many cooks in the kitchen, or not enough good ones, and what's happened on eh bean counter (money making and paying) front. Chef Gordon Ramsay is understand to be at war with Crown Casino, and its hotter than Hell's Kitchen. This news comes less than six months after media "custard tart" (Media Man inside joke) launch of his flagship restaurant in the Metropol complex section of Crown. Ramsay's Maze and Maze Grill are rumored (not fact - don't call the lawyers) to be flushing down the loo towards $20 grand a friggen week after the casino invested more than $10 million bucks on refurbishing the eateries and the like, leaked a number of sources, one known to MM and G911 as "Deep Throat" (not real name, nor a star in the movie sharing the same title). The restaurants' financial woes have soured and porked relations between Crown powers that be and the foul-mouthed chef, who are now commenced negotiations over Maze's future! A Network Nine reality TV show was previously on the cards but now looks to be in doubt. Crown pays roughly 6% of gross sales and a small percentage of profits to Gordon Ramsay Holdings, a deal which provides things like branding and marketing. Ramsay is understood to invoice Crown for the salaries of Maze's chef de cuisine Josh Emett and several senior cooks and assorted staffers. Crown is understood to not have its taste buds satisfied from the biz deal in recent supper sittings, as Ramsay's hospitality empire continues to suffer from the global slump in corporate dining. Sweeeet has turned to sour, and figure pointing goes on to who is a goose, turkey. Speculation also runs rife is Maze will last to see this Christmas' turkey roast dinner party. Crown Casino spokesman Gary O'Neill denied that Maze has gone sour. He spoke with Fairfax Media on the matter and advised "I don't know who has been calling you or for what reason but there is absolutely no truth in that accusation whatsoever. Crown has a very good relationship with Maze. It has exceeded our expectations quite significantly. A large number of people are going there." He also said Maze and Rockpool Bar and Grill were Crown's best-performing restaurants, both by patron numbers and dollars spent. He didn't get into what Maze's profits may or may not in fact be, and bean counters are silent. Restaurant deep throats told our friends at Fairfax Media that Maze and Maze Grill, which combined have more than 250 seats, have struggled somewhat to serve 100 covers a day, particularly early in the week. "Obviously winter is a factor and most places are quieter this time of year, but Mr Ramsay has certainly had a tough introduction to Melbourne,'" one local restaurateur shared. A spokeswoman for Gordon Ramsay Holdings said its agreement with Crown was strictly confidential. 'Ms X' she said Maze was meeting expectations. The king of the chefs also faces problems outside Australia. He was recently hit with a tax bill for $US2 million ($A2.3 million) by United States authorities and is now dealing with a series of lawsuits from unhappy creditors. Ramsay was also forced to close his restaurant in Cape Town last month and sold ("fire sale style")his TV production company for £40 million ($69AUD million) just last week. He disclosed that restaurants in New York, Paris, Los Angeles and Prague were "haemorrhaging" up to £200,000 pounds each month at the climax of the financial recession. Last year, Fairfax Media published that other exclusive Crown eateries were struggling, largely attributed to the global economic downturn, including once ultra exclusive Bistro Guillaume, which won Gourmet Traveller's best new restaurant back in 2009. At the time, owner Guillaume Brahimi and Crown management denied any problems, but it has since closed. Funny that. Punters, is Ramsay's goose cooked? Hot air or hot under the collar of bean counters? Off with his head, or not? Got a beef? Tell us in the forum. You be the judge, jury and executioner!
Burswood Casino Accused Thief Hid Jewels Inside Own Body...
Yuk. Those jewels would have sure required some polishing. International readers, please don't confuse the "jewels" with the proposed 'Mildura Jewel' casino in Melbourne, just saying...Western Australian Police have now formally charged a mug er man...with stealing after he allegedly concealed jewellery inside himself after smashing a display case at Perth's Burswood casino. A glass panel in the display case in the gaming area was smashed in the early hours of Saturday, police told press. A suspect was later located but a search failed to find any stolen items until some dislodged from inside him (via his anus - arse we understand), police said. "He was then transported to Royal Perth Hospital for X-rays and further property was recovered," Inspector Gary Lewis advised. 6 rings and a necklace worth a total of $329,000 were recovered and a 29-year-old man is in custody after being charged to appear in court at a date to be determined. That's what we call an expensive and uncomfortable toilet sitting.
Australian Punters Back Coalition To Form Government...
Aussie bookies have installed the coalition as the favourite to form government following an inconclusive result from Saturday's federal election. Sportingbet Australia has the Coalition at $1.40, while Labor is at $2.80. Sportingbet Australia chief executive Michael 'Mr Sums' Sullivan advised it looked very hard for Labor to form government, and punters had instantly backed the Coalition to come to an agreement with the 3 re-elected independent MPs. "The Coalition are a clear favourite, as it is hard to see how a Labor government relying on support from a Green and essentially conservative independents would ever reach a consensus and be able to function effectively," Sullivan said. Sportingbet opened the book on Sunday with the Coalition at $1.50 and instantly took two bets of $5000 at $1.50 and $1.45. A rival agency, Centrebet, has the Coalition at $1.40 and Labor on $2.85. Ah, what a different a few days can make. Who are you picking? Don't be shy.

Aussie Millions Poker Championship At Crown Casino This January...
Folks, mark it down in your diary. Australia's richest poker tournament is coming back to Crown in Melbourne this January. Americans might be up for a 20 hour or so flight to get down under, but there's nothing on the planet quite like Aussie biffo, and we hear that Tyron Krost, Stewart Scott, Joe Hachem (2005 WSOP champion), Tony Hachem, Tony G, Shane Warne and Jeff Fenech are ready to serve up biffo in giant size quantities. Insiders are hopefully that Annette 15, Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu and Annie Duke will bring their poker feuds down under. Maybe some one will end up in the river! (pun intended).
Readers, is it time for Crown and Burswood to get their own branded online casino games like 'Underbelly' and 'Kerry Packer'? Has Crown now got its security levels to the right level? What other developments would you like to see at Packer's world of entertainment? What's your favorite casino games and why? Tell us in the forum.
James Packer VS Kerry Stokes: ConsMedia War May Erupt...
When now relaxing or make the big decisions at Asia Pacific's most successful casinos, James Packer continues to build up his media empire. Let's take a peek shall we...An understood "peace deal" between Packer and Kerry Stokes over control of Consolidated Media will end next month with the two competitors set to raise the stakes. ConsMedia revealed its annual results yesterday and the executive chairman, John Alexander, said the standstill agreement would not be renewed! A media war to add to the casino wars! "It is a 12-month agreement that will expire and business will continue as usual" he said. Last year, Mr Stokes's Seven Network used a $243 million hostile share raid to increase its stake from just over 4.8 per cent to 19 per cent, then agreed to stop buying ConsMedia shares in exchange for two board seats. With the addition of Ashok Jacob from the Packer camp, this gave the board 10 directors - more than twice the number of the company's employees. ConsMedia's revenue comes from its 25 per cent share of Foxtel and a 50 per cent stake in Premier Media Group, whose other owner is News Limited. Premier produces and buys sporting content for pay television. It generated $447 million in revenue this year, up 2.9 per cent, and contributed $54 million to ConsMedia's net profit, a rise of $1.2 million. The Foxtel share contributed $29.9 million to profits, up $5.1 million. During the year, ConsMedia sold its 25 per cent share in the job site Seek.com for a $305 million profit and sold a Sydney property for $50 million. Despite the sales, the company's net profit fell 8.2 per cent to $392 million, as the previous year was boosted by ConsMedia selling down its stake in PBL Media, which it now values at nil. Punters, its all very complex, but Packer has another war on the horizon, and is set to do more media deals, not just throwing around the dice and shuffling the deck in the casino and gaming sector. You want more... ok, just a teaser.. Packer, through Consolidated Press Holdings, has a 47% stake, up from 38% last July. Channel Seven has a 23% share. Industry analysts expect the buy-back will eventually give Packer a 51% stake and Stokes 25%. What happens next might be up to the Gods. "For Stokes to take out Packer he'd have to offer a pretty big price," 'Mr X' tipped. "Packer's not going to take out Stokes - he could have owned 100% of it previously. So it's whether they get together and privatise it together and take out the minorities, but they'd have to pay a bit of a premium to do that." ConsMedia declared an unfranked dividend of 6¢ to be paid on Red October 15. Hopefully, red turns to green, as it goes in the UFC and formally in the WWE, before blood all but disappeared. Packer's favorite non blood sport is polo, if you forgot, and he also loves sailing the ocean in his prized Arctic P, sometimes catching up with mates overseas like Tom Cruise from 'Top Gun' and 'Mission: Impossible' fame. What Packer has shown is more than possible is cementing his place at the top of the world's gaming, gaming and tourism sector, having the Crown Limited empire ranked in numerous top 10 lists like Forbes, Google and WSJ. That's with or without the media empire arm, recently his media getting a boost from Bondi Beach based media icon David Gyngell, a part of the Media Man "Gumleaf Mafia" media puzzle (ask us over a beer). Packer's main business focus remains casinos with a lifestyle and tourism edge, but continues to hit runs in traditional media and new media. The world awaits a 'Kerry Packer' and 'Underbelly' slot game. Comon' Crown top brass, we know you read this. See you at Bondi Icebergs.. a bit easier than a flight to Melbourne, Perth or Macau...maybe Berg's Gaming hey.

PartyGaming News: Rocky Slot Game Hits PartyGaming - Noble Casino
Rocky Slot Game Hits PartyGaming - Noble Casino
The new Rocky slot game has become Playtech’s most sought after title as online gaming fans flock to box as Rocky Balboa.
The great features of Playtech’s video slot have made the game one of the most popular of all time. Rocky Slots sets the pace for PartyGaming and Playtech, with Pink Panther soon to follow.
Rocky Slots traces the fortunes of the kind hearted south paw Rocky Balboa from the 1976 film starring Sylvester Stallone. The game has fast and well designed features and game play as well as a pounding soundtrack to match...this really gets the excitement and adrenaline flowing! Bonus features include a special Knockout Bonus round where players can pick Rocky’s opponents, watch a ten round boxing match and win big money.
Playtech have upped the ante with Rocky Slots as the game features more advanced graphics, better sound and more sophisticated detail than other similar games. This makes Rocky Slots an absolute knock out to play.
The spinning reels sound like a punch bag to make players feel that they are hearing Rocky train in his favourite Philadelphia gym. Players need to spell out ROCKY on the 5 reels in order to receive an instant 5x total bet payout. And if you manage to achieve this in the free spin rounds you will receive a massive 10x total bet payout!
Perhaps the more impressive feature of the Rocky Slots game from Playtech is the Knockout Bonus Round. This is where players choose from three prize fights to spar against Rocky in a ten round match – including the famous film world champion Apollo Creed. The player watches the stunning fight from a front line seat, featuring real footage from the fight scenes in the film.
During the Knockout Bonus Round players have the chance of winning up to a 30x total bet payout if Rocky manages to knock his opponent out in a fast enough time. Go Rocky!
PartyGaming also offer PartyCasino.com which offers dozens more movie and TV themed slot games, as well as other online casino games that can be played for free or played for money.
PartyGaming was established in 1997 and is listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Australian Political Betting: Labor To Best Liberal By Nose Says Punters, by Greg Tingle - 20th August 2010
Australia approaches D Day for the political election. It's showdown time for PM Julie "Jungle Girl" Gillard VS Tony "The Bruiser" Abbott. Get your budgie smugglers, running shoes, boxing gloves and best Aussie accent ready. Media Man and Gambling911 get you ready to go a full 15 rounds...
Australian Labor will retain government at tomorrow's federal election by about 5 seats, according to punters, but word on the mean streets of 'Sin City' Sydney says its an even match.
But 2 key Sydney electorates are headed back to the Coalition and The Greens (aka Greenies) will win a seat in the House of Representatives!
That’s the ruling of punters on betting giant Betfair, who’ve wagered almost $2.5 million on the overall outcome of tomorrow’s poll, giving Prime Minister Gillard a 67% chance of retaining office at a current price of $1.44. Centrebet odds follow this pattern.
Tony Abbott’s Coalition has been solidly backed in the past 24 hours, but remains the underdog to win at $3.20, offering it just a 33% chance of victory.
While the overall analysis and number crunching is positive for the ALP, punters are convinced that the political career of one Maxine McKew, former ABC TV presenter, is just hours from ending.
"Mad Maxine" (Media Man tag) is the $2.76 outsider to retain her prized seat of Bennelong, out from $1.48 just two weeks ago. Coalition candidate John "The Tennis Ace" Alexander has firmed into $1.50 after being backed at a high price of $2.65 early last month.
The key Western Sydney seat of Lindsay is headed back to the Coalition with Fiona "Surefire" Scott the $1.72 favourite to best Labor’s David Bradbury at $2.10.
The Greens are being tipped to make history in the seat of Melbourne with Adam "Buster" Bandt now the $1.41 favourite to steal that electorate away from Labor at $2.90.
"Punters on Betfair concur with polling data that suggests this will be a closely fought contest, but they are confident Labor’s vote will hold up sufficiently for it to retain office," Betfair’s Mathew "Tipster" Thompson shared.
"This is also likely to be a unique election, with the seat of Lindsay to go the way of losing party for the first time since its inception in 1984.
The Greens were also well placed to win Melbourne from the ALP despite forecasts suggesting Labor will actually pick up seats in Victoria, he offered.
"With close to $2.5 million wagered in Betfair’s election winner market by close to 1200 individual punters, this is a reliable reflection of voter sentiment and is a positive poll for Julia Gillard on the eve of election day," Thompson said.

If your going to have a bet, please bet your head, not over it, and for God's sake, have fun. Vote early and vote often... just kidding. It is not known who Betfair and Aussie gaming king James Packer will vote for, but we have our suspicions. Let's just hope that the darn internet filter proposal doesn't further hinder Betfair or other Packer (or Media Man) enterprises, or cost any more Australian jobs. Malcolm "No Bull" Turnbull (Liberal, for those not sure), be patient. Insiders still say you will be Australian Prime Minster in 4 years time if you want the job and can last the distance. May the best man (or woman) win.

Australian Casino, Poker and Political News, by Greg Tingle - 14th August 2010
Australia continues to pump out some of the world's most interesting and unique casino, gambling, and political news this week. Melbourne remains on real life Underbelly alert, Mildura may start a pro casino political party, Aussie casino wars and more. Media Man and Gambling911 continue to bring you the best. Aussie casino king James Packer still may be sailing the high seas, but the news rolls on regardless. Load up the sniffer dogs, kangaroos, koalas, Tasmanian devils... it's a whale of a hunting time down under.
Victoria: Mildura Backing Jewel Casino Plan With Political Plan...
Dozens of business interest groups in the north-west Victorian city of Mildura are mobilising behind grand plans for a $400 million plus entertainment complex and casino development in the region. The Progress Mildura group was formed at a meeting of about 50 people 2 sleeps ago, with the goal of supporting the Jewel Casino proposal, seeing the dream become a reality. Committee member Ben Ridley advised the group is trying to clarify government regulations, but isn't ruling out standing or supporting a state election candidate in November. "Once we know what the actual process is that needs to be followed then we will make a decision as to which direction we take," he proclaimed. Update...Candidate May Run...
Progress Mildura was formed at a meet up earlier this week and advised it is in a fact-finding phase about the best way to push for the project to go ahead. Committee member Ben Ridley says the Member for Mildura, Peter Crisp, attended the group's meeting and didn't give a clear indication of whether he was for or against the project! "That probably disappointed a lot of people - I think they probably wanted to know either way if he was for it or against it and I think that's something we really need to assess quite quickly," he said. But Mr Crisp says he does not know enough about the proposal, or whether the Government is intending to allow a second casino licence in Victoria. "Until we know whether there is a second licence on offer and what the terms and conditions are... then we don't know what we are making our minds up on," he said. Ok, tell us the just facts Jack, with a dose of colour.
NSW Lotteries $100,000 Battle With Scratchie Punter...
There's been a number of "false wins" and disputed cases regarding winnings in lotto, casino and online casinos of late. We won't give you a big list, but you wont find campaigns for the bad eggs on the pages of Gambling911, Media Man or Casino News Media. Puter Bale Kuzmanovski was excited when he scratched the lottery ticket his wife had purchased him as a birthday pressie. He eyed off an image of a swimmer next to the word ''bathe''...its a win, so he thought. The size of the prize was considerable. Believing he had won the big one... $100,000 "Kasino" (Media Man tag) Kuzmanovski felt an "explosion of elation". Hold it there...NSW Lotteries argued the point. The swimmer did not match the word "bathe", it argued. The correct image was a bathtub. The symbol Kuzmanovski had chicked sratched was only a winner if it was accompanied by the word "swim". The case then went to the Federal Court and, this week, Justice Steven Rares gave the nod to Kuzmanovski. He ordered NSW Lotteries to pay up the $100,000 prize. The matter began way back in July 2007 when Elizabeth Kuzmanovski bought her husband two $5 Pictionary scratchies from a Parramatta newsagency. After his apparent win, he and his wife turned their thoughts to how they would spend the money...reducing the mortgage, a family holiday to visit his grandmother in Macedonia. But the next day the newsagent put the card through the machine, coming up with the "not a winning ticket" message. Kuzmanovski said he had been deeply angry, felt cheated and spent a sleepless night.
The couple argued in court that "bathe" meaning "swim" was the definition given in at least four dictionaries sold in Australia. Lotteries NSW countered with the Macquarie Dictionary meaning: "Chiefly British: to swim for pleasure". Justice Rares concluded that "an ordinary and natural meaning in Australian English usage of 'bathe' is 'swim'". NSW Lotteries will have to pay 3 years' interest on the prize and the Kuzmanovskis' legal costs. Got to love a happy ending.
Tasmania: Reducing the Impact of Problem Gambling...
New laws come into effect today which will strengthen the gaming exclusions regime for self excluded gamblers.
The Treasurer, Michael Aird, said the new laws were part of a broader package of measures introduced last year to address problem gambling in Tasmania.
“Today’s measures were developed in response to the findings of the first Social and Economic Impact Study, following consultation with the Tasmanian Gaming Commission and key community and industry groups,” Mr Aird said.
“The Tasmanian Gambling Exclusion Scheme will be strengthened by simplifying the types of exclusions available and introducing a minimum period of six months before exclusions can be revoked.
“Currently a self-exclusion notice can be revoked by the person at any time. The new six month minimum requirement will support a person’s decision not to gamble during the early stages of their exclusion where the urge to gamble may be high.
“In addition, there will be a three year maximum period for all exclusions. After three years the exclusion will expire at the time of expiration people will have to re-apply.
“This will help to make sure that information and records, including photos, are kept up to date over time."
Secretary to Cabinet, Cassy O’Connor welcomed the self-exclusion guidelines, which complement the $3.5 million in funding already being spent this financial year for harm minimisation measures.
“If we are to achieve healthy, happy and financially sustainable Tasmanian families, we need to minimise the harm caused by problem gambling,” Ms O’Connor said.
“I am determined to work within government and with the community to move promptly and decisively on this.
“We are committed to progressing reform while continuing to fund prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, research and community information on the risks of gambling.”
A full list of these measures is available at www.gaming.tas.gov.au.
Coffs Manager Stole To Fuel Pokies Addiction...
A female fed her gambling bug nicking more than $20,000 while working as the manager of an Australia Post outlet, a court has heard. Eve Marie Elworthy has appeared for sentence in the Coffs Harbour Local Court and will find out her fate on 18 stealing charges when she reappears in December. The 46-year-old committed the offences while working as the manager of the Warriwillah Post Office, adjoining a small convenience store, between Bathurst and Orange back in in 2006 - 2007. Police prosecutors proved over the course of 6 months she made multiple copies of money orders paid to the post office, pocketing the proceeds. On one occasion she served a customer, collecting his payment of $581 towards an energy bill. Investigations found she stamped the bill as paid but never processed the payment! Only after the customer received an outstanding bill from Country Energy weeks later was the matter taken up with Australia Post. Elworthy was discovered when Australia Post auditors checked the financial records of the business in January 2007. A sum of $11,754 was found to be missing. In a tape conversation, Elworthy admitted to stealing money and gambling the proceeds at local clubs. The court was told the licensee of the store was required to repay the outstanding amount. In June 2007 the licensee again contacted auditors on the suspicion Elworthy was again stealing money. Another audit was undertaken and a further $8953 was found to be missing. Again in a taped conversation, Elworthy made admissions to making out multiple money orders and keeping the money to pay for gambling debts and bills associated with the general store. She was charged by police with embezzling $7250 between November 24, 2006, and May 4, 2007. In March 2008, Elworthy attended the Taree Police Station to answer to the charges.

Kiwi Gambler Screwed By Own Casino Ban...
A bloke who won $NZ60,000 ($48,040) playing poker at an Auckland casino was refused the jackpot because he had banned himself from the premises for gambling too much. Sothea Sinn, 28, scored the prize playing Caribbean stud poker at Auckland's Skycity Casino, but casino staff refused to pay, saying he was banned at his own request, The Dominion-Post newspaper said. "I was absolutely gutted," Mr Sinn told the paper. Mr Sinn said that in 2004 he demanded the casino ban him and his girlfriend because he was gambling too much. He said he thought the ban had expired but casino staff said he had agreed to undergo counselling before re-admission and had not done so. Mr Sinn said he would take his case to New Zealand gambling authorities. G911 and Media Man advised punters to check there bad status with their venues of choice, as to avoid getting screwed. The same system is also applicable to online casinos.
Pokies Get Green Light In Township...
Campaspe Council has given the green light for the installation of 50 electronic gaming machines at the American Hotel in Echuca. The business closed in 2009 but is now planning to reopen, and says the poker machines will form an important part of its financial operations.
At its meeting last night council voted to grant a permit on the condition that a percentage of the gaming machine earnings is returned to the community. Mayor Peter Williams says despite community concerns over poker machines there were no grounds to refuse the application. "A number of councillors spoke about how they do not personally support gambling or gaming machines, however one has to consider this not from a personal position but from a planning position," he said. Other councils have taken note of the case.

Victoria: Mildura Backing Jewel Casino Plan With Political Plan...
Dozens of business interest groups in the north-west Victorian city of Mildura are mobilising behind grand plans for a $400 million plus entertainment complex and casino development in the region. The Progress Mildura group was formed at a meeting of about 50 people 2 sleeps ago, with the goal of supporting the Jewel Casino proposal, seeing the dream become a reality. Committee member Ben Ridley advised the group is trying to clarify government regulations, but isn't ruling out standing or supporting a state election candidate in November. "Once we know what the actual process is that needs to be followed then we will make a decision as to which direction we take," he proclaimed. Update...Candidate May Run...
Progress Mildura was formed at a meet up earlier this week and advised it is in a fact-finding phase about the best way to push for the project to go ahead. Committee member Ben Ridley says the Member for Mildura, Peter Crisp, attended the group's meeting and didn't give a clear indication of whether he was for or against the project! "That probably disappointed a lot of people - I think they probably wanted to know either way if he was for it or against it and I think that's something we really need to assess quite quickly," he said. But Mr Crisp says he does not know enough about the proposal, or whether the Government is intending to allow a second casino licence in Victoria. "Until we know whether there is a second licence on offer and what the terms and conditions are... then we don't know what we are making our minds up on," he said. Ok, tell us the just facts Jack, with a dose of colour.
NSW Lotteries $100,000 Battle With Scratchie Punter...
There's been a number of "false wins" and disputed cases regarding winnings in lotto, casino and online casinos of late. We won't give you a big list, but you wont find campaigns for the bad eggs on the pages of Gambling911, Media Man or Casino News Media. Puter Bale Kuzmanovski was excited when he scratched the lottery ticket his wife had purchased him as a birthday pressie. He eyed off an image of a swimmer next to the word ''bathe''...its a win, so he thought. The size of the prize was considerable. Believing he had won the big one... $100,000 "Kasino" (Media Man tag) Kuzmanovski felt an "explosion of elation". Hold it there...NSW Lotteries argued the point. The swimmer did not match the word "bathe", it argued. The correct image was a bathtub. The symbol Kuzmanovski had chicked sratched was only a winner if it was accompanied by the word "swim". The case then went to the Federal Court and, this week, Justice Steven Rares gave the nod to Kuzmanovski. He ordered NSW Lotteries to pay up the $100,000 prize. The matter began way back in July 2007 when Elizabeth Kuzmanovski bought her husband two $5 Pictionary scratchies from a Parramatta newsagency. After his apparent win, he and his wife turned their thoughts to how they would spend the money...reducing the mortgage, a family holiday to visit his grandmother in Macedonia. But the next day the newsagent put the card through the machine, coming up with the "not a winning ticket" message. Kuzmanovski said he had been deeply angry, felt cheated and spent a sleepless night.
The couple argued in court that "bathe" meaning "swim" was the definition given in at least four dictionaries sold in Australia. Lotteries NSW countered with the Macquarie Dictionary meaning: "Chiefly British: to swim for pleasure". Justice Rares concluded that "an ordinary and natural meaning in Australian English usage of 'bathe' is 'swim'". NSW Lotteries will have to pay 3 years' interest on the prize and the Kuzmanovskis' legal costs. Got to love a happy ending.
Tasmania: Reducing the Impact of Problem Gambling...
New laws come into effect today which will strengthen the gaming exclusions regime for self excluded gamblers.
The Treasurer, Michael Aird, said the new laws were part of a broader package of measures introduced last year to address problem gambling in Tasmania.
“Today’s measures were developed in response to the findings of the first Social and Economic Impact Study, following consultation with the Tasmanian Gaming Commission and key community and industry groups,” Mr Aird said.
“The Tasmanian Gambling Exclusion Scheme will be strengthened by simplifying the types of exclusions available and introducing a minimum period of six months before exclusions can be revoked.
“Currently a self-exclusion notice can be revoked by the person at any time. The new six month minimum requirement will support a person’s decision not to gamble during the early stages of their exclusion where the urge to gamble may be high.
“In addition, there will be a three year maximum period for all exclusions. After three years the exclusion will expire at the time of expiration people will have to re-apply.
“This will help to make sure that information and records, including photos, are kept up to date over time."
Secretary to Cabinet, Cassy O’Connor welcomed the self-exclusion guidelines, which complement the $3.5 million in funding already being spent this financial year for harm minimisation measures.
“If we are to achieve healthy, happy and financially sustainable Tasmanian families, we need to minimise the harm caused by problem gambling,” Ms O’Connor said.
“I am determined to work within government and with the community to move promptly and decisively on this.
“We are committed to progressing reform while continuing to fund prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, research and community information on the risks of gambling.”
A full list of these measures is available at www.gaming.tas.gov.au.
Coffs Manager Stole To Fuel Pokies Addiction...
A female fed her gambling bug nicking more than $20,000 while working as the manager of an Australia Post outlet, a court has heard. Eve Marie Elworthy has appeared for sentence in the Coffs Harbour Local Court and will find out her fate on 18 stealing charges when she reappears in December. The 46-year-old committed the offences while working as the manager of the Warriwillah Post Office, adjoining a small convenience store, between Bathurst and Orange back in in 2006 - 2007. Police prosecutors proved over the course of 6 months she made multiple copies of money orders paid to the post office, pocketing the proceeds. On one occasion she served a customer, collecting his payment of $581 towards an energy bill. Investigations found she stamped the bill as paid but never processed the payment! Only after the customer received an outstanding bill from Country Energy weeks later was the matter taken up with Australia Post. Elworthy was discovered when Australia Post auditors checked the financial records of the business in January 2007. A sum of $11,754 was found to be missing. In a tape conversation, Elworthy admitted to stealing money and gambling the proceeds at local clubs. The court was told the licensee of the store was required to repay the outstanding amount. In June 2007 the licensee again contacted auditors on the suspicion Elworthy was again stealing money. Another audit was undertaken and a further $8953 was found to be missing. Again in a taped conversation, Elworthy made admissions to making out multiple money orders and keeping the money to pay for gambling debts and bills associated with the general store. She was charged by police with embezzling $7250 between November 24, 2006, and May 4, 2007. In March 2008, Elworthy attended the Taree Police Station to answer to the charges. She has had her case moved to Coffs Harbour since relocating to the area. Elworthy is due to reappear on charges of dishonestly intend to cause a loss to Australia Post on December 8. Granted bail, she has been required to undergo gambling counselling. We wish her well with her challanges.

Underbelly Real Life With Pokies And Gunfire, by Greg Tingle - 14th August 2010
Australian casino news sees the crime theme level hit fever pitch. With a script right out of Hollywood, Melbourne sees real life Underbelly return, with bloodshed, bullets and a pokies connection. The Underbelly scenario follows yesterday's report of Melbourne Crown Casino Chinatown high rollers getting busted for drugs, a curious casino chips connection and the works. Media Man and Gambling911 once again don the bullet proof vests and call on the sniffer dogs with this special report from the war zone. 3, 2, 1 rolling and action...
Underbelly real life has appeared to return to the now mean streets of Melbourne, down under in Australia.
Evening peak hour traffic in downtown Lygon Street, Carlton. One Aussie bloke dead as wood inside the doorway of a pokies pub, another fella lying on the footpath outside the venue. A gunman darts across a public park, reloading his weapon on the run.
The deceases were said to be middle aged, both gunned down at close range. A 3rd man was has been detained in custody, being questioned over the murders.
Earlier that fateful day, in another part of Melbourne, another man lay dead. Just before 11am, a gunman jumped out of a sedan in Conifer Avenue, Brooklyn, in the city's industrial western region. He strolled towards the bearded figure of Macchour Chaouk, who was standing in his backyard, and fired several rounds into his chest.
Everyone is looking to see if there is connection between the two bloody baths. Let us also recall the Crown Casino Chinatown crims who got busted for drug dealing around the same period, with a somewhat casino chip connection, often spotted in Crown's Mahogany Room (they won't be coming back to play nor mingle).
65-year-old Chaouk, a Lebanese - Australian man with the rep of a low-mid level crime boss, had died a violent death. Police made little secret that they were looking closely at a rival crime family, which had been engaged in a vicious turf war with the Chaouk clan. Turf is often associated with the patch used for drugs, distribution, deals... you get the idea.
Melbourne police advised a 57-year-old Altona North man was arrested over the shooting at a residential address in Altona North.
Chaouk had served time in the slammer for a for number of drug offences and was charged and acquitted of murdering a drug dealer. The crime figure was involved in two blood feuds: one against the notorious Haddara family; another against Victoria Police force, who in circa 2005 shot dead his son Mohamed when its officers raided their suburban Brooklyn home.
It was last month when papa and two surviving sons, Omar and Waleed, were arrested and guns were confiscated in a series of raids by coppers. It came within a couple of weeks of a drive-by shooting in a nearby suburb that left Sam Haddara with nasty facial wounds. Omar was charged, and reluctantly bailed by magistrate Fiona Stewart on the grounds he avoid the family home.
"There is an ongoing war between two families and the court should be extremely worried about the danger posed to the community by it," Stewart said.
These happenings bring back memories of Alfonse Gangitano and Lewis Moran's Carlton Crew.
The shootings took place in Players on Lygon, a pokies den across the road from Argyle Square. Witnesses to the shootings say they heard between five and eight shots above the noise of rush-hour traffic.
Reloading the weapon as he ran for his life, the killer dressed in midnight black, reached the other side of the popular park before giving up the pursuit.
He then strolled back across the park and into the pokies venue. Several more gun shots were heard in the region. He has returned apparently to finish the job, perhaps engulfed in hate and fueled by the smell of blood.
Homicide Detective Sergeant Wayne Woltsche said the shooting as "outrageous and callous." He said he didn't believe there was a connection between this crime and the earlier murder.
"Two people have been shot in the streets of Melbourne. It is a fairly callous crime. Whether it is an execution, I cannot say."
Police sealed off the Lygon Street crime scene, they were still preping to remove Macchour Chaouk's body from his Brooklyn house under police guard.
Footage captured from a Network Nine helicopter showed Chaouk's wife, dressed in Islamic black, prostrating herself on her husband's body as it lay covered by a sheet in backyard on the family home.
Abour an hour and a half after the murders, three kids, aged one, three and five, who were inside when the killing occurred, were taken from the home, wrapped in what looked to be blankets.
Twenty minutes later, after the arrival of a grey assault vehicle, an army of 11 heavily armed Special Operations Group police officers entered the home to make it safe for detectives, forensic experts and the like.
Family and friends, including 19-year old offspring Omar, still on bail waiting to face weapons, drugs and fraud charges, waited outside for many hours after the shooting as police sealed off the area to the public and curious types. He was not allowed inside until a touch after 3pm.
An aging neighbour heard shouting and several rapid-fire gun shots at the house, on the corner of Geelong Road and Conifer Avenue, just before 11am. Schools in the area locked students in their classrooms, neighbours advised they were not surprised by the killing. They were also aware of the strong potential for further gunfire and murders in their neighbourhood, with one sharing, "It will never end now."
Several described Chaouk as a "friendly man", although all were aware of his family's criminal reputation and then some. "He was always pleasant to me," one man said. "I guess you don't shit in your own nest."
Detective Superintendent Murray Fraser said that at 10.55am a gunman stepped out of a car in Conifer Avenue and fired several shots through the back gate, killing Chaouk. Attempts were made to revive him, but he was dead as before paramedics arrived.
Quizzed whether inquiries were centred on the family feud, Superintendent Fraser went on record with "That's a fairly obvious inference to draw at the early stages. At this stage there is no evidence that we can really rely on to take that matter any further but we have to look at that as an avenue of inquiry, no doubt . . . and we will obviously have to keep an open mind."
Probed if he thought there would be revenge attacks, he shared "That's an issue that we have to plan for. There has been a history of conflict involving the Chaouk family."
Before yesterday, the most violent make up of that history had been the drive-by murder of Mohammed Haddara in June last year. Chaouk's 22-year-old nephew, Ahmed Hablas, was charged.
Hablas's legal eagle, Alan Swanwick, advised his client feared for his life in custody as members of the Haddara family had vowed to take revenge. Those fears will be heightened considerable be it Chaouk id dead.
Back to the Lygon Street killings, suspicions are of an unrelated drug deal gone to *hit.
Lygon Street may never be quite the same, and no doubt these real life 'Underbelly' happenings are ongoing to boost interest in the Network Nine smash hit. Insiders say they will include the pokies connection, and perhaps also draw upon more history with Crown Casino, having a hard time stopping the rumor mill. The TV version of 'Underbelly' has yet more material to work with, as it prepares to screen the Brisbane and Gold Coast - Surfers' Parasise versions.
Unfortunately this 'Underbelly' themed report is real life and we call for calm.

Victoria, Mildura - Jewel Casino Proposal Getting To Next Level...
A Mildura based community group will round up the troops and assemble to support a Mildura casino following an impressive presentation from champion casino pitch man and developer Don Carrazza this week. "CasinoMeister" (Media Man tag) Carrazza spoke to more than 50 punters at The Office Wine Bar and Lounge re the positive progress of the Mildura Jewel convention centre project aka Jewel Casino... you got to love those long names and the adds ons to add value. Many people at the meeting responded saying a community group should be established to help gather support for the prop and also gain bi-partisan (both Labor and Liberal parties) support. A subsequent meet up for this Monday was arranged to assemble the passionate mob er group. Carrazza told the gathering Mildura’s community needed to show support for the casino. "Mildura at the moment needs a boost. We lost 60,000 acres of land with irrigation; that’s got to be replaced. If we stuff around for too long the people who want to fund this project will walk away. As a community we have to make these politicians understand what we want" said the likable pitch man.

Several described Chaouk as a "friendly man", although all were aware of his family's criminal reputation and then some. "He was always pleasant to me," one man said. "I guess you don't shit in your own nest."
Detective Superintendent Murray Fraser said that at 10.55am a gunman stepped out of a car in Conifer Avenue and fired several shots through the back gate, killing Chaouk. Attempts were made to revive him, but he was dead as before paramedics arrived.
Quizzed whether inquiries were centred on the family feud, Superintendent Fraser went on record with "That's a fairly obvious inference to draw at the early stages. At this stage there is no evidence that we can really rely on to take that matter any further but we have to look at that as an avenue of inquiry, no doubt . . . and we will obviously have to keep an open mind."
Probed if he thought there would be revenge attacks, he shared "That's an issue that we have to plan for. There has been a history of conflict involving the Chaouk family."
Before yesterday, the most violent make up of that history had been the drive-by murder of Mohammed Haddara in June last year. Chaouk's 22-year-old nephew, Ahmed Hablas, was charged.
Hablas's legal eagle, Alan Swanwick, advised his client feared for his life in custody as members of the Haddara family had vowed to take revenge. Those fears will be heightened considerable be it Chaouk id dead.
Back to the Lygon Street killings, suspicions are of an unrelated drug deal gone to *hit.
Lygon Street may never be quite the same, and no doubt these real life 'Underbelly' happenings are ongoing to boost interest in the Network Nine smash hit. Insiders say they will include the pokies connection, and perhaps also draw upon more history with Crown Casino, having a hard time stopping the rumor mill. The TV version of 'Underbelly' has yet more material to work with, as it prepares to screen the Brisbane and Gold Coast - Surfers' Parasise versions.
Unfortunately this 'Underbelly' themed report is real life and we call for calm.

Victoria, Mildura - Jewel Casino Proposal Getting To Next Level...
A Mildura based community group will round up the troops and assemble to support a Mildura casino following an impressive presentation from champion casino pitch man and developer Don Carrazza this week. "CasinoMeister" (Media Man tag) Carrazza spoke to more than 50 punters at The Office Wine Bar and Lounge re the positive progress of the Mildura Jewel convention centre project aka Jewel Casino... you got to love those long names and the adds ons to add value. Many people at the meeting responded saying a community group should be established to help gather support for the prop and also gain bi-partisan (both Labor and Liberal parties) support. A subsequent meet up for this Monday was arranged to assemble the passionate mob er group. Carrazza told the gathering Mildura’s community needed to show support for the casino. "Mildura at the moment needs a boost. We lost 60,000 acres of land with irrigation; that’s got to be replaced. If we stuff around for too long the people who want to fund this project will walk away. As a community we have to make these politicians understand what we want" said the likable pitch man.
