With the 2014 congressional elections coming up on November 4, it is interesting to take a look at Hillary Clinton's stance on the subject of online gambling regulation. While there has still not been an official statement by Clinton on whether she will make a second presidential run for the 2016 elections or not, analysts believe that the first option is very probable. Views on Land-based Gaming Clinton was supportive of land-based gaming back in 2000, although the case was specific. The region in question was Niagara and Clinton offered support for plans to build a new casino there, explaining that if a new casino will attract more tourists to the region which used to be a tourist capital for America – she will support it. In the same year, Clinton also supported plans for a tribal casino. Online Gaming a Mixed Bag With all that has to do with online gambling, Hillary Clinton's views seem mixed. Clinton voted in favor of the SAFE Port Act in 2006 which also included the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA), something that deeply affected online gambling establishments in the country since then. Two years later in 2008 however, Clinton supported a study dedicated to determining whether online gambling can be safely regulated in the US. Clinton Administration Policies Considering the later indication and the generally favorable positions shown by Clinton in questions of land-based gambling, a Clinton administration could very likely take favorable views on online gambling as long as safe solutions are put in check to prevent problem gambling and other issues. The projected high revenues of iGaming in regulated states like New Jersey and established online casinos opening online sites like Tropicana Casino just recently, might all serve as an important factor for favorable views on iGaming by a future Clinton administration.

From Monday 27 October, the 2014 Mobile and Tablet Gaming Summit will be hosted at the Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel and Casino. The intention is to bring together the leading casino operators and innovators from both the online and offline markets. Future of US Market Over the duration of the summit, key players will be discussing the perceived obstacles that are preventing the industry from capitalising on mobile gaming potential in the US. This is a pressing issue for all involved in the US market as analysts predict the national mobile gaming market will be worth in excess of $100 billion by 2017. Issues to Discuss However, barriers to reaching that value include technology relating to geo-location, payment processing, and player registration. Of course, these are not the only barriers with the power to negatively affect the industry, but attendees would need a lot more than two days to discuss the future potential for the widespread legalisation of online gambling in the US. New Jersey Update With the summit being hosted in Atlantic City, there will be a special keynote address delivered by Senator Ray Lesniak. Principally, Lesniak is expected to share key details on the return of PokerStars to New Jersey. Sports betting will be another area of discussion, with New Jersey expected to launch a mobile offering to replicate the Nevada market. Special Mobile Panel From the various discussions and workshops due to be hosted, one of the most valuable is a panel discussion with five online gambling players from New Jersey. The players will provide invaluable insight for operators into what is still a fledgling online gambling market. In particular, the discussion will focus on the potential improvements that can be made to the mobile gambling market in New Jersey. That discussion will be hosted on Tuesday 28 October.

The Dallas Cowboys face-off against the Washington Redskins tonight from their home in Arlingtonת Texas. The Cowboys have been red-hot, going for seven wins in a row tonight against the 2-5 Redskins, struggling to get back in contention with RG3 still questionable. It will be an amazing Monday Night Football match up as both teams bring a ferocity to the field, which could propel either one to the win tonight. Injury Report The Cowboys have been relatively healthy this season with few major injuries. Things have changed though, following the back injury, which Tony Romo suffered last week making him questionable for tonight. Colt McCoy, third string QB could be called upon to run the offense tonight, something that he would have never thought possible when the season began. In addition to Romo, LB Bruce Carter, DE Jack Crawford, S Jakar Hamilton, and DE Anthony Spencer are all questionable, while WR Dez Bryant is probable. The Redskins are on the other side of the injuries spectrum with their star QB, Robert Griffin III, still questionable after his severe ankle injury. That injury alone has been the main reason for their last place NFC East standing. NT Chris Baker, RB Alfred Morris, and LB Perry Riley Jr. are all probable, while S Ryan Clark and CB Tracy Porter are still questionable and Tanard Jackson is suspended. Bet Live with bet365 The odds are as attractive as could be for punters looking to make a quick bet on the underdog, as the Redskins are at 4.50 to win, while the Cowboys are in a commanding odds lead at 1.22. There are hundreds of online betting markets available at bet365 including Point Spread, Correct Score, markets according to player or quarter and over 200 more. bet365 Sports is one of the biggest providers of NFL sports betting and accepts bets from punters around the world. Prediction The Cowboys are the obvious favorites for tonight's game, but expect the Redskins to cover the spread. They lost their 2013 game against the boys by only one point, and without Romo at 100% the game will be close. We're predicting the Cowboys over the Redskins 24-20.
After Microgaming announced in February that it was developing an officially licensed slot game based on the wildly popular fantasy TV series Game of Thrones, the software developer has finally released a promo video that can be found on YouTube. Within the video, a number of important features have been displayed. Enjoy the video now before the slot arrives in its expected release date of December. An Innovative Design Microgaming has long been known for attempting to exhibit innovative thinking within its video slots. One such approach has been for the global casino software developer to give players 243 ways of winnings instead of utilising a payline system. Interestingly, Microgaming has decided to give the players the choice of which they prefer in the upcoming Game of Thrones slot. Before starting the game, players can opt to play with 15 paylines or 243 ways of winning. Visual Appearance Following the introduction, the video actually shows you the gaming interface for the Game of Thrones slot. Around the five reels of the slot there is a bronze finish to match the logo of the show. For the reels, these have been displayed in the form of scrolls. On those scrolls, the key symbols are the sigils from each of the main houses from the show. In addition, high value playing cards help to pad the symbols out further. The Special Features A blockbuster slot like Game of Thrones needs to have enticing special features. Microgaming as attempted to realise this aim by giving players free spins when three or more of the Iron Throne symbol land on the screen. During free spins, video clips from the show will be played. Then there will be a choice to serve Houses Stark, Baratheon, Targaryen, or Lannister. Quantity of spins and size of multiplier will vary for each. Where to Play Look for the slot at Microgaming-powered casinos, such as Platinum Play Casino, BETAT Casino, and Jackpot City Casino.
Nevada Leadership Nevada state is continuing to lead, guide and shape the online gaming market. Participating in innovative models of commerce and offering increasingly adapted platforms are two ways in which they do so. Two significant new poker titles are scheduled to launch towards the back end of 2014, both under the auspices of 888. The two new sites to be launched as back end introductions at the end of 2014 are a Treasure Island site to be powered by 888, and another site owned outright by 888. All-American Poker Network Platform They will be added to the current version of the WSOP online poker room to form the All American Poker Network Platform Nevada. The goal is to provide benefits to a significant new stream of deposit bonuses and businesses as business activity and user volume increases, the player competition tightens and gaming providers increase their own competition for new users and gaming traffic. The New Model of Interstate Gaming Commerce As of early, 2015 Nevada and Delaware will become the first states to join forces in offering cross-border online poker entertainment to their players, paving the way for the pooling of jackpots and integration of commerce via P2P individual interstate interaction, so that other states may also view and embrace similar and evolving interstate models as well. Delaware Kick-Start to Inspire States? Delaware is a state that stands to experience a significant and telling impact in the future. Currently, thought the state allows gambling, the state continues to struggle to reap significant benefits, due to the limited market that the small state population represents. If Delaware can benefit from sharing customers and jackpots across states, this would represent a significant evolution in an online gaming model that would yield greater revenues to all states, and could spur the acceptance of more rapid acceptance and regulation of gambling from an increasing amount of states.

The San Francisco Giants have a chance to win their third World Series in five years, if they can win on the road tonight. This series has been one of the best to watch in recent years, as the battle has gone back and forth since Game 1. Currently 3-2 in favor of the Giants, the Royals are hoping their home field advantage will help them get the win in Game 6 tonight. In Game 5, the Giants, led by their all-star pitcher, Madison Bumgarner put on a clinic, allowing only four hits and didn’t allow even one run. This guy is posting numbers that no other pitcher has even done in a World Series, and San Francisco are just one win away from yet another championship title. The Battle on the Mound Both Royals and Giants are hoping their pitching staff can get the job done. The Royals are going with Yordano Ventura, making his fourth start and fifth appearance overall. He has a 4.42 postseason ERA and led the Royals to victory in Game 2. The Giants put their eggs in Jake Peavy’s basket, hoping he can seal the deal and not force a Game 7, which would be played at Kauffman Stadium in Missouri. In all of his eight postseason starts, Peavy has yet to last longer than 5 2/3 innings and is 0-1 against the Royals. Odds and Prediction The odds are stacked against the Royals to win the series, with bet365 sports posting them at 3.50 to win outright, while the Giants are at 1.32. There are a number of pre-game markets available to punters interested in testing their skill and their luck. There are also markets for Correct Series Score, which could land one the largest payout of the night. It should be all she wrote after tonight. The Giants have pulled away from the Royals and should close out their third championship in five years tonight. It may not be a shutout, as it was in Game 5, but the score should be around 6-3 in favor of the Giants.
The U.S. Powerball is one of the most popular lotteries in the world and it is responsible for creating more than just a few millionaires over the years. On Wednesday, October 29th, the next draw will take place and the jackpot is estimated at $142,000,000. Much like most other big lotteries, the U.S. Powerball jackpot is rolled over with every draw in which the main prize isn’t won. This means that the ticket sales from another draw get added to the amount and it just gets bigger and bigger until someone claims it. The record for this lottery is at $588 million, which is more than most people even dare to dream of. It only takes a bit of luck to land the winning ticket and cash in on the ridiculous prize. How to Buy Tickets Tickets for the U.S. Powerball are sold in retail stores in most states. American players can simply go and purchase tickets with the numbers they wish to play. This would mean that potential winners from other countries do not have access to the huge lottery but there are online stores that offer a solution to this problem. The Lotter and Lottery Master are the two biggest and most reliable websites when it comes to buying online lottery tickets and they cover all the major lotteries in the world. Various services make it easy to buy tickets for the draw and also claim the prizes. Playing the U.S. Powerball The U.S. Powerball is very simple to play as it is based on six total numbers. Five of them are from a range of 1 to 59, while the sixth, also known as the Powerball, is from a range of 1 to 35. When the draw will take place on Wednesday, the numbers will be selected at random from the two separate drums. Winners will then be able to claim their prizes based on the numbers on their tickets. All 6 must be matched for the jackpot.
