You can say it is not a problem or a concern, but it is a fact of what is happening in the highest majority of casinos where the losing customer is sought out by his/her instantly available 'credit line advance'.

"According to the PNP-AKG, Chinese nationals look for gamblers losing big in Manila casinos. Agents approach the target and offer to lend them casino chips in exchange for the individual signing a promissory note. The victim is often required to surrender their passport at this stage.

If the victim wins, the lender requires a 20-30 percent cut of the money. If the victim loses and cannot pay the loan, he is detained in a nearby hotel, where they're often beaten and tortured on camera, images then sent to his family."

"Lim, who was a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) employee, reportedly went to the casino with a friend to gamble last Monday. After losing much money, the Chinese suspects allegedly offered to lend him P500,000 worth of casino chips in exchange for 20 percent of his winnings.

The victim also lost that money and this led to his alleged kidnapping. The suspects reportedly told him to contact his family in Malaysia to pay his ransom."

"Once victims lose anew, they would be abducted and the syndicate will demand their relatives to pay a huge sum of money. The group would even go to the extent of filming the victims while being tortured to force their relatives to pay".

On-Line Gambling versus Practice Only, Same Website

My friend did a test over the past few weeks, to be exact the past 16 days he said.  He ran the same wagers for 64 sessions of 3 things:

1)   Practice on-line with Free Wager game only, without using the free chips;
2)   Practice on-line with Free Wager game with the free practice chips in play;
3)   Real money on the website game.

  #1 and #2 are different.  I already talked to several people about this and it sure took a lot of explaining!  Why?  I do not know why it was so hard to understand, but like most things people either do not want to believe or have reason to ignore, it makes it that much tougher for them to grasp.  But there is a huge difference.  Please understand. 

He used the exact same amount of wagers as well as the exact same units for each and every wager.  He varied his wagers at times, following patterns as well as the total opposite.  But, he always did the exact same thing, for the exact same amount of hands and in the exact same order.  He also clearly used series of alternating wagers.  Again, all wagers were the exact same for all three types as listed above and for every single shoe.  He wagered exactly 25 hands per shoe with four shoes of each type.  All three types were with the same website. 

He won a total of 390 units with Type #1
He won a total of 2,840 units with Type #2
He lost a total of 355 units with Type #3

Lets talk about #3 first.  I will not assume or claim that the website monitors any of its on-line wagers and rigs anything.  I would have to have him conduct at least 50 of these to get that assumption.  While I do not gamble on-line, I have talked with many people that have.  Some do win, while numerous people do loose.  Some of those that do loose, I know they are very conservative gamblers and very short session length players.  What they do on-line, I am not witness to.  I just know what they tell me.

Now #1 and #2.  I have done both on-line and at the same website my friend did the above test.  I have clearly noticed over the years, that I have been able to easily win on their practice Bac game.  I mean, without keeping stats myself, I would assume I win at least 75-80% easily of my practice sessions using the Type #2, with the free chips producing a running total, etc.  I have lost considerably lost more of the Type #1 games in comparison to the Type #2 games as well.  Again, I have never played for money on-line, so I cannot comment with any personal experiences regarding that.

I do know with the amount I have played at practice on the websites, I am pretty confident that they slant it towards the player/consumer, to entice him into playing for real money on their site.  I will not go so far as to say, that they cheat or rig their real money games in favor of the website/casino, but I am pretty sure that the ratios of the consumers win on the practice types without real money are higher than that of the real money Bac games. 

And after all, it would not be illegal by any means to rig a free game towards the consumer/player would it?  Be careful with the on-line stuff, even believing what you are calculating with their free games. 

Personally I would not use their free chips for those of them that offer an option to play betting free chips versus just running the hands and watching.  If you do the latter, just run the hands and watch and keep notes, you will see you might just win more when you do wager with their free chips, which would be completely contrary the reality of the game.

Wynn Resorts CEO's letter to Governor detailing their proposal to reopen the casino:

There are hundreds of them.  This press release will outline an overview.  The emails and the calls from the boiler rooms are in full effect without a doubt.  Just about every U.S.A.O. District has a task force formed and in place.  There has already been numerous indictments and arrests in reference to this.

Money, Money, Money. 

I can only imagine how brilliant these people thought they were.  Bet they were hip, had all the clothes and bling jewelery and everything else that they always wanted to buy.  LOL.

Here is a link to the American Greed show, give it time to load. 

I cannot find the other one, but this one will explain it all.

Cyber crime and the Lottery Scam.  Spelled out and detailed. 

I saw a documentary on American Greed and another news show the other week.  Personally I have never fell prey to any scam on the internet as far as buying or falling for something where direct money is rendered.  My only actual experience was having to completely bring down my business computer system due to clicking on an email that I assumed was from a major credit card company of mine and having malware installed on my computer and then finding out, that it was all false and thus, my education in malware, etc.   The only other thing I learned about the internet fraud field was in reference to purchasing things with a credit or debit card and how valuable it is to use a separate card for internet purchases so your high limit valuable cards cannot be compromised by hackers or small internet companies selling your information, etc.

I receive numerous emails as well as phone calls and texts each and every day regarding all the scams, the lower interest rates, the $500 or $1,000 dollar gifts from all the major credit cards-hotels and assorted other scammers pretending to be the national well known company.  As well as the insurance company, the free vacation specials, the IRS tax calls, and all the other creative threatening scams. The list is huge.  I delete each and everyone of them, each and every day.  As well, I compare all of them to most all the promises of 100% money making, multi thousand dollar per day gambling systems. 

But after watching those two TV new shows that were extremely well put together, I finally seen the inside to the whole lottery scam field and it is not a little thing by any means. If you have wondered anything about this lottery thing, read the following.  There are so many key points in its success and those are explained.   

Try and catch the TV show on American Greed, the trips to Jamaica mad by the show and the US Law Enforcement officials will show you the actual mansions the people putting on the scams were living in as well as other things that went along with all of it.  But like the gambler, greed got them and landed them in prison.  Just about the same as a casino gambler that starts to win and cannot control himself, greed will get you and control you just about every time.

Atlantic City, on the right track! 

Social distancing and common sense, not isolation and economic disaster that will lead to individual and family ruin imposed by governmental concerns.

The strong will survive (maybe), the weak will be tremendously hurt (with some permanent closures), everything's going to change and it'll be bare-bones operations for quite some time. Like it or not.

I agree with and endorse everything said in this city council video made last night. We need to reopen the whole country, maybe some certain sections or some certain areas that have extremely high infection rates and fatality counts happening  but 90% of the country's geographic area needs to be reopened and there's no reason why it should not be.
