Quote:A New Jersey casino says it will become the first casino in the United States to let hotel guests gamble from their rooms over the TV set.
Atlantic City's Borgata will offer its E-Casino to hotel guests starting Feb. 18.
It lets guests with player's cards set up electronic accounts and risk up to $2,500 a day. Slots and four kinds of video poker will be the first games offered.
The casino says the technology can be expanded to include gambling over hand-held devices anywhere on casino property, and eventually, full Internet gambling - if New Jersey approves it.
The technology is currently used on large cruise ships. It will be available in all 2,000 of the Borgata's rooms.

they are forcing you to pick, porno or gambling.
I replied that there's already casinos in Vegas doing the hand held thing.
I'm right, right?
FYI I think the Vegas thing is only for sports betting but didn't tell her that part.
As with gambling on the internet, I'm going to have to leave this one alone.
I am not sure how a pin keeps the kids from playing. It's as if they're sitting on a stool next to a player in the casino.

That was my first thought of waking up to someone blowing their brains out in the next room.
It gives the kids that you left in the room something else to do. :-)
