Atlantic City casinos on pace for $3 billion in gaming revenue. http://bit.ly/31AynS5

ATLANTIC CITY — Sports betting, online gaming and two new properties are helping to push the casino industry toward a revenue benchmark in 2019 it has not reached since before the market began to contract.
The industry has reported revenue increases for 16-consecutive months, dating back to the dual openings of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City and Ocean Casino Resort in June 2018.

Online gaming — legalized in 2013 — has contributed more than $339 million in revenue this year, a 57% increase over the first nine months of 2018. http://bit.ly/31AynS5

24. (New York) Motorists could be facing in tolls on the state thruway after 2020, there’s no end in sight to the continuing dispute between the state of New York and the Seneca Nation of Indians over the payment of casino revenue sharing and folks living in the 27th Congressional District probably won’t pick an interim successor to Chris Collins before April. http://bit.ly/2Jp0nlf

25. (Massachusetts) Gaming regulators want to know the exact status of federal litigation around the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe’s quest to secure land in trust before making a decision about moving ahead with the state’s third casino license, though Gaming Commission members appeared in no rush Thursday to begin accepting applications for a southeastern Massachusetts casino. http://bit.ly/2JCnEjZ

26. (Virginia) A petition drive seeking to reverse the Norfolk City Council’s approval of a land deal for a waterfront casino resort fell short Thursday, with backers failing to gather enough signatures to put the issue before the city’s voters. http://bit.ly/2MKX2PC

27. (West Virginia) Despite a slow start, mobile sports betting revenue in West Virginia has continued to grow. The Charleston Gazette-Mail reports that the West Virginia Lottery Commission announced Wednesday that the apps’ revenue topped $1 million last month. The apps produced about $25,000 in revenue during their launch week at the end of August. Lottery Director John Myers says growth has been consistent as the apps continue to mature. http://bit.ly/2WfIwlO

28. (Florida) It looks like a rock ‘n’ roll guitar that Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page would have played. But this one is 450 feet (137 meters) tall and is a light-beam hotel that the Seminole Tribe wants to become South Florida’s latest tourist destination. The Guitar Hotel had its grand opening Thursday on the tribe’s land in Hollywood, once only a trailer park and some smoke shops. http://bit.ly/31SMnXy

29. (North Carolina) The New Bern Police really hit the spot Thursday morning. Literally.

31. (Las Vegas) Nevada-based Full House Resorts has partnered with Wynn Resorts International to expand its sports betting offerings.

A look back at G2E 2019. http://bit.ly/2N7r9kA
by Buddy Frank

Without a doubt, the opening question when any two gaming pros gather for the next few weeks will be: “What did you think about G2E?” My go-to answer about this year’s edition is a single line: it was the best show in years.

But that’s the shorthand version. If you have time to mull over lunch, here’s a bit more detail:

License deals – Brand names were again everywhere, but few, if any, were new. The jury is still out on how long the last big one, James Bond, will last, but overall brands haven’t really been that strong for several years, Wheel of Fortune notwithstanding. Due to their high cost, many branded slots are released in a WAP format with higher fees based on a percentage of coin in. Yet today, most slot directors seem to prefer the less expensive lease model of fee per day. Who can argue with the amazing success of “88 Fortunes,” “Lightning Links,” or “Dragon Links”? Those, and many more, from Buffalo to Dancing Drums, have become major hits with no superstars attached. This trend looks here to stay; the Las Vegas Strip may be the only exception. However, I did hear some grumbling that one or two vendors were boosting the prices on their non-brand leased games, so don’t be surprised if there is some future operator pushback even on those hits.

Best of Show
Here's a subjective view of the best games that were on offer last month at the Global Gaming Expo. http://bit.ly/2PFdYc2
by Frank Legato

For most of the year, this space consists of articles written in standard, objective news style. However, in the wake of the annual Global Gaming Expo, I like to use one column to offer my purely subjective, first-person take on what I considered to be the best slot games launched at G2E.

Mind you, this is by no means to say certain games are better, will earn more, or will outscore other games in terms of win-per-unit or other measurements. These are simply opinions, based on 35 years of writing about slot machines, on what I considered the standout offerings at G2E.

Casino Chip-Tricks of the Week by Stephen Au-yeung: Pendulum.

Branding of games may always be either 'trendy' or not. Either way, the casino managers and the general public know that such ''name brands' come with marketing fees paid by the PLAYERS irrespective of the casino managers having to first front the money to the brand name owners. Most players would rather play Plain Vanilla than play Trendy Name at a lower return.

Casinos seem to be at the center of any business news press release simply few other industries are even close to booming.

Top 10 poker podcasts http://bit.ly/2Ka2Yjr
By Tadas Peckaitis

Quality podcasts featuring knowledgeable people talking about their particular areas of expertise are a great source of information, and can also be a lot of fun for those interested in that particular niche.

If you’re interested in finding a good poker podcast, but don’t feel like searching on your own, this is the quick overview of the top 10 podcasts that should not disappoint you. http://bit.ly/2Ka2Yjr

10. TwoPlusTwo Pokercast
Although TwoPlusTwo Pokercast has stopped issuing new episodes, we can’t fail to mention it an article on the top 10 poker podcasts.

9. Heads Up Poker Podcast
As you might guess from the name, Heads Up Poker Podcast features mostly interviews with professional players. The host, Steve, travels the world and sits down with the players to talk poker in general, tournament and cash games strategy, and more.

8. Weekly Poker Hand with Jonathan Little
Released every week, as suggested by the name, Weekly Poker Hand with Jonathan Little is a strategy-focused podcast that offers a variety of advice on how to improve your game by looking at different hands and situations and breaking them down in detail.

7. The Mindset Advantage Poker Podcast
If you’re looking to improve your play in ways that go beyond just strategy and math, The Mindset Advantage podcast is just what you might need. Hosted by Elliot Roe, the man who has worked with many accomplished poker players, and now partnered with Run It Once, this show offers tips and practical advice on how to become mentally stronger, set your goals, and always bring your best game to the table.

6. Ante Up Magazine Podcast
The Ante Up Magazine podcast is probably the longest-living poker podcast, having first aired back in 2005. It is currently hosted by Christopher Cosenza and Scott Long. That the show has been around since 2005 shows that the people behind the scenes know what their listeners want and how to serve it in a fun and enjoyable manner.

5. DAT Poker Podcast
DAT Poker podcast is hosted by Daniel Negreanu, Adam Schwartz and Terrence Chan, alongside Ross Henry. Negreanu, of course, needs no introduction, but Schwartz and Chan are also familiar names to true fans of poker. Namely, the duo was running the famous TwoPlusTwo Pokercast until 2018, when it was canceled, so they know a thing or two about hosting a quality poker show.

4. Tournament Poker Edge Podcast
For those looking to improve their tournament strategy and acquire new knowledge through this particular format, the Tournament Poker Edge podcast is likely an excellent choice. The pod is hosted by Clayton Fletcher and includes a number of rotating professionals who stop by to share their poker strategy tips or do some hand analysis.

3. Red Chip Poker Podcast
This is a podcast brought to you by a popular training site, so it's not a surprise that they concentrate purely on strategy topics. Airing once per week, the Red Chip Poker podcast is designed to deliver you very solid strategy tips.

2. Poker Central Podcast
If you want to keep up with the news in the poker world, then you should definitely find time in your schedule for the Poker Central Podcast. That’s right, the biggest poker channel around has its own podcast as well, and you can listen to any of the episodes for free whenever you feel like it.

1. The Poker Life & HSPLO Podcast
Hosted by Joey Ingram, aka “Chicago Joey,” The Poker Life Podcast is one of the more versatile and entertaining options out there. Thanks to his contacts within the community, Ingram has been able to interview some of the biggest names in poker, such as Berry Greenstein, Shaun Deeb, Lex Veldhuis and Mike “Timex” McDonald.

What makes Joey’s podcast so entertaining to watch is that he keeps up with what’s going on, and he’s not afraid to ask “tough” questions. Many of his podcasts have dealt with major controversies in the poker world, such as rake hikes by PokerStars and the presence of bots on Americas Cardroom.

Ingram’s success is largely due to the amount of work he’s willing to put in to prepare for his shows, be it an interview or whatever else. For a prime example, look no further than the work he put in during the recent Mike Postle/Stones Gambling Hall controversy. He’ll spend the required amount of time to prepare for the podcast and make it interesting for those tuning in.

Conclusion
There are quite a few other poker podcasts out there you might enjoy, like Thinking Poker, Postflop Poker Podcast, Top Pair Podcast and Poker Stories. It all depends on what exactly you’re looking for and how much time you have to spend.

These podcasts can be a great way to pass some time while driving home from work, traveling or chilling at home. The best way to go about it is to check an episode or two from different podcasts and see which ones suit you best. When you find the ones you like, smash that subscribe button, and you’ll always know when there is a new episode out.
