Hot News in Indiana as Firefighters Win Big on US Powerball

Two firefighters can set their old life ablaze after winning a huge $200,000 jackpot in the US Powerball.

Robert Clark and Phil Shalley, both from Silver Lake, Indiana, have 50 years of fire brigade experience between them and won the massive windfall after matching five numbers, but not the Powerball number itself.

The lucky winners, who are regular Powerball players, say they’re not sure how they will spend their winnings but they will certainly spend much more time on the golf course!

One lucky winner won 11.000 € the first day Kings of Chicago is live at Vera & John

During August 24 Vera&John online casino launched popular video slot Kings of Chicago. The same night one lucky winner won 11 000 euro.

Expectations for the new slot machine from Net Entertainment was sky high, which also appeared with the greatest clarity when Kings of Chicago was one of the most played slots at Vera&John on Wednesday. Several happy winners were the very first day to sign for their profits. Happiest was probably still a 35-year-old man from Sweden who scooped the 11,000 euro.

U.S. media to lawmakers: Regulate online poker now!

Online poker in the U.S. is basically off-limits since the “Black Friday” shutdown of April 15, 2011. Of course, as with most examples of prohibition, this really hasn’t hurt the popularity of online poker, it’s just blocked access to the game.

In the months since Black Friday, and especially in the past few weeks, some of America’s leading news sources have continued to come out in favor of regulating online poker — and fast. Here are the best examples of those editorials.

Chicago The U.S. anti-online gambling stance is “senseless,” says the Chicago Sun-Times, pointing out that “there’s no federal law on the books criminalizing poker, and there never has been a federal court ruling that online poker is illegal.

“So, frankly, if there were any justice within the Department of Justice, we’d all be sitting in front of our laptops drawing to an inside straight by the end of business today.”

 Las Vegas
“Life changed drastically for professional online poker players in the wake of what many have come to call Black Friday,” writes the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

“Yet this entire industry is being forced offshore. Why? To ‘protect’ American adults from the dangers of playing poker in the privacy of their own homes?

“Congress, having done all the harm it could arrange at present, is now on vacation. Once they return to Washington, Nevada’s delegation could find worse ways to spend their time than to push for legalized and sensibly regulated Internet poker.”

 D.C. “Frankly, we’re tired of getting pushed around and treated like outcasts when we’re doing nothing wrong,” a Washington Post writer blogs. “Poker is as American as baseball and apple pie, and the game involves math, psychology, money management and a variety of other nuanced skills that make hitting a 90-mph fastball look simple.”

Baltimore
“Online poker is an unusual industry because it has actually asked the federal government to be taxed and regulated. It would be better for all concerned if that were the case,” according to the Baltimore Sun.

 “If the government really wants to protect Americans from losing money on bad financial decisions, I have a long list of companies for them to go after. Dozens of companies wrecked the U.S. economy by pushing bad mortgages and bad mortgage-backed securities using questionable selling tactics that bordered on fraud and misrepresentation.”

Fox News
Even super-conservative Fox News, big supporters of guys like Bill Frist and George W. Bush — who are responsible for the UIGEA in the first place — weighed in with this profile of the effects of the loss of online gambling income in the U.S.
