Gambling with an Edge --- August 2

[BobDancer]

We announced
a visit tonight by gambling tax expert Anne Fried-Lefton. Unfortunately I got
my dates wrong and Anne is actually scheduled for NEXT week, and does indeed
promise to be there. She was willing to speak tonight anyway if we were really
stuck for a guest, but it wasn’t the right time for us to insist. She was in a
pretty bad traffic accident recently, and while she will recover, currently she’s
on a lot of pain meds so she’s not at her best.

 

Shack and I
are going to continue on the televised game show theme tonight. While not
directly related to casino gambling, it’s not that far removed. Getting on
these shows and doing well against other opponents requires many of the same
skills you need to compete in casino tournaments, poker, and other casino
games.

 

Plus a reader
sent in a Jeopardy! story for me to share that is a lot of fun.






GWAE may be heard live
Thursday evenings from 7-8 in Las Vegas on 1230 AM or from www.klav1230am.comfrom
anywhere. The shows are archived the next day on bobdancer.com. You may
subscribe for free from iTunes to get the podcasts delivered automatically to
your device.

Bob, if you are stuck for VP topics on your radio show, there have been a lot of posts recently about the changes made in AC. A new law eliminated the requirement for the New Jersey Gaming Commission to have inspectors in casinos around-the-clock and made the Division of Gaming Enforcement responsible for certifying gaming revenue. The Division of Gaming Enforcement also took over responsibility for registering casino employees and non-gaming vendors, licensing gaming vendors, and handling all patron complaints.




 
It would be interesting to hear from someone in the AC DGE, and ask them how they determine that VP machines are fair and in compliance with their regulations.

Interesting suggestion. And that would a good topic. Does anyone have a contact within DGE who can assist me in setting up a contact? Bob
