I'm at a loss for words.

Atlantic City betting on free-throw contest to re-invent gambling

I think DB should give that a shot. Ads are all over the radio and interviews with Brogata exec. I used to watch wheelchair basketball. Some of those guys are really good. Shooting from the foul line should be interesting for them. Most have excellent arm and upper body strength. DB will probably chime in on this at some point.

I think their plan is just that to offer more hands on sports type interactions. Don't know about other games. Burned a lot on midnight oil as a kid playing Risk and Stratego with the neighborhood gang especially on rainy day. Even after we were married some 42 plus years ago, we had a few Risk house parties. Grand Funk RR, Led Zep, and Quicksilver, and Pink Floyd booming all the while of course. Some 60's stuff thrown in too, though by the early and mid 70's it was all about rock.

Better double check next time you plop down an entry fee for an Atlantic City HORSE tournament...

    And don't forget to check the paytables and the RNG...

OR, for the really ambitious, their are games like PANZERKRIEG which simulates the war on the eastern front during World War 2, but only focuses on the SOUTHERN Russian front (i.e. The Steppes where armored warfare thrived)......I would love to play for real significant money!
