After a complaint by a television veiwer the ASA investigated the advertisement of Ladbrokes Casino.com, it played on the idea that people seeking trills had the choice of either doing daring stunts like, ‘diving with sharks with raw meat attached to them’ and ‘diving with sharks dressed as a sea lion’ or playing at Ladbrokes Casino.

While the advert to most was just amusing, to one particular viewer it was neither funny nor appropriate.

Ladbrokes not one to let a little banned advert stop them, yesturday put a one-page ad in the sun and racing post. howevr this time the ad was aimed at the person who had complained.

The print adoffered a reward of £20 to find the person who wrote to the advertising regulator. It was in the style of a mock-up of a police photo-fit, underneath was printed ‘Missing (a funny bone)…’

Two casino players have been charged for cheating at the Foxwoods Resort casino. Local players Richard S. Taylor, 42 and Mattie E. Tarlton, also 42, were arrsted by police and charged with first-degree larceny, cheating during gambling and conspiracy. The cheating took place when dealers would take late bets at blackjack tables. The dealers would then receive payments at a later date in a different location.

Cheating in casino’s is now a rarity however some still takes place. Its extremely difficult for modern day casino’s to monitor dealers and players, however increased technological security has helped this problem. Before CCTV several security and section managers would be needed to overlook the games. Now most modern casino’s have a security room and dedicated team to identify possible cheaters. Several techniques can be used one of the most famous being the ‘Roulette Mix Up’. This involves several players and a great deal of skill and timing. Much of casino cheating is to do with psychological alteration. Their are often split seconds when the dealer looks away form the board or table.

These are the periods when cheats make their move. The classic Poker light move has been being used for several years. Some cheats have worn contact lenses or glasses which help identify cards. Richard Marcus spent several years of his life as a professional casino cheat and has his own internet blog explaining the moves in detail!

Jason Kidd, an NBA superstar who currently plays for the Dallas Mavericks, is giving up his recently won gold medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing to the people at Wynn casino in Las Vegas.

It’s not that Kidd has some gambling debt he’s settling up, he’s just coming through on a promise he made to Elaine Wynn while he was staying in the casino for multiple weeks straight.

“Last summer, we stayed at the Wynn for a lifetime, close to three weeks,” Kidd said. “We met at a banquet, we got to talking, and she really understands the game.”

Kidd promised Elaine he would give her his gold medal if he won one at the Olympics in Beijing because of the way he was treated during his lengthy stay at the casino.

“I told her I’d make a deal with her, that if we won the gold medal, I’d give it to her,” Kidd said. “She thought I was kidding. But I told her I had one already, and the way they treated us at the Wynn, it was the least I could do.”

Kidd had already won a gold medal previously and wanted to do something special for the Wynn casino. Most people will find this act hard to believe because I know if I had a gold medal, I’d keep it for myself.
