Online Gambling Roundup Aug-04-09
Good Morning and welcome to the regular Golden Rule of Gambling round up of online gambling news. Here is Tuesday’s gambling roundup, which begins over at the Ultimate Bet blog where, in one of the stranger poker blog posts, Liv Boeree talks about boxing Pokernews presenter Melissa Castello….
So you may have heard about a certain little boxing match that happened a few of weeks ago called “Rumble near the Rio”. This came about when Pokernews approached me with the proposal that I box their presenter, Melissa Castello. Now I have never boxed before in my life, but it has always been something that I’ve wanted to try, and as I never like to turn down a challenge, I readily accepted. It then occured to me that maybe I should do some research into Melissa and her background, as knowing me it’ll turn out she was once an MMA champion or the like. The research unveiled the fact that yes, she had fought before. Fought significantly. Apparently she’d been quite the scrapper a few years back and had been in bar fights with bottles and broken noses and god knows what else. However, by the time this had come to light the PR ball had gotten rolling and turned the fun boxing match into quite the monster with press conferences, huge blow up posters boasting our vital stats and official boxing licences! Whatever cold feet I may have tried to get were basically nowhere near enough to stop the relentless march of the match, so I resigned myself to probably getting beaten. Even more so when I heard that Melissa had been training every day with a personal boxing coach and I only managed to squeeze in three training sessions due to playing poker each day.
The day of the fight was awesome. Pokernews had set everything up really well and a surprisingly large crowd turned up to watch and cheer on each side.

Now it is over to The University Of Nevada, Las Vegas site
which has an interesting post by gambling law expert Nelson Rose this Tuesday morning called “Almost the Law” :
Law school classes are conducted using the case method. Students are given published court opinions
and then questioned on what they deduce the law is. This produces lawyers with the mistaken
belief that the first place to look when conducting legal research is reported
cases.It is dangerous to forget that the final say on the law still usually means a bill
that has been approved by a legislature and signed by the executive.With a few important exceptions - Indian gaming, interstate horseracing and Internet gaming - it is state legislatures, not the federal government, who determine the most important issues involving legal gambling…

Finally, for this roundup,
We check in on our friends at 32Red
where big cash jackpots are the discussion topic :
With it’s guaranteed million pound jackpot, it’s easy to become mesmerised by Mega Moolah when it comes to progressive jackpot slot machines. The hype when it reaches a certain figure, the media attention the game receives and ubiquitous novelty sized cheque and grinning player are all part and parcel of the Mega Moolah experience, but there are other slots - other slots that carry huge payouts that are sometimes overlooked. One of which is King Cashalot.
Since the folks at 32Red have brought up the subject of slots, don’t forget to take a look at our guide on how to Play fruit machines online. You can find out more about 32Red and see how we rate them compared to their rivals ( Rushmore Casino and Ladbrokes Casino etc.. ) at the Reputable & Trusted Casinos section of our main site Golden Rule Of Gambling.
In my opinion largely underplayed, King Cashalot starts at a more than attractive £250,000 guaranteed payout and is generally the 2nd most generous casino game at any single time at 32Red. The graphics are great, the interface clear and simple but, more importantly, the jackpot is hit frequently, and we’re proof! 32Red has had a number of huge winners, one of which currently holds the King Cashalot record with a staggering $1,987,698 jackpot win on just her second visit to the online casino. As you can see, left to accumulate King Cashalot is quite capable of emulating the venerated Mega Moolah.
