Casino Attacks Continue in Australia - Gambling911

Unfortunately more serious casino news out of Australia.

News Limited and wires report the latest in a string of attacks and bashings in and around Australia's land based casinos and gambling dens.

FORMER AFL star Jonathan Hay was attacked and kicked in the face in an apparently random attack at Crown casino.

Hay was celebrating his 30th birthday with friends when a gang of seven thugs forced him to the ground just after 2am Sunday.

The former All-Australian fullback suffered bruising and a cut to the head in the latest episode of mindless CBD violence.

It would appear on the surface that online casinos, online casino portals and the like, are gaining another advantage from their land based cousins by default. Of course online casino don't have actual muggers, however one still needs to watch out for online casino stings and low acts, like they type that were documented on the United States version of 60 Minutes last year.

I would like to see Crown Casino offer an online casino portfolio, perhaps showcased by a Kerry Packer themed game. PartyGaming of course has a Frank Sinatra and The Godfather slot, so why not a Packer game?

PartyGaming's PartyPoker, Noble Poker, and Euro Partners Titan Poker, and a few other brands, are offering satellites to the Poker Cup at Crown Casino later this year beginning in September. Let's just hope the live events are incident free. Insiders are looking to confirm if Mike Sexton, Chris Moneymaker, Daniel "Kid Poker" Negreanu, Annie Duke, Phil Hellmuth, and Tony G are likely to attend. Those individuals may or may not add to aggressive play et al on location. Folks are extremely interested to see if poker Doyle Brunson will turn up, as Mr Brunson has been in a war of words with some of the folks at Party over the past few years, and the word on the street is that Party is interested to talk serious shop with the powers that be at Crown (and Star City). It's got all the makings of a real life battle royal, and a serious mix of personalities. You can bet that Crown's James Packer will have security at an all time high, comparative to when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes stayed at Crown a few months ago.

It's in Crown's best interest to beef up security to protect its customers, visitors and reputation.

Atlantic City wants $20M a year to promote itself

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Many Americans know that "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."

That's because the nation's largest gambling market spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year to promote itself.

But Atlantic City, the nation's second-largest gambling market, has no such luck. It has a racy slogan — "Always Turned On" — but not the money to spread it far and wide.
Struggling with the worst recession in their 31-year history and trying to hold off competitors springing up all around them, Atlantic City's 11 casinos want to spend $20 million a year to promote the oceanfront resort.

They would like New Jersey's cash-strapped state government to help, saying it would be an investment that would repay itself through increased tax revenues and contributions to statewide projects.

A spokesman for Gov. Jon Corzine's office had no immediate comment, but the state just went through a wrenching budget crisis of its own, passing a $29 billion spending plan that is $4 billion less than last year's and that eliminated popular tax rebates for some taxpayers.

Casinos also are looking for smaller sources of funding closer to home, such as diverting some luxury tax revenues or using money from a casino reinvestment panel for marketing.

The goal is to come up with a stable source of funding to get Atlantic City front and center in the nation's consciousness for years to come.

"Our job is to change perceptions of Atlantic City and bring more people here," said Jeff Vasser, president of the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority. "We are in the most expensive media market in the nation, where our key customers come from — New York and Philadelphia. We also want to get into Washington and Baltimore.

"You can't do it for a short period and then be done with it," he added. "It takes a minimum of three years to make an impression and become part of public consciousness and let people know what's really happening here."

Joe Corbo, president of the Casino Association of New Jersey, said the resort needs to spend at least $20 million a year to promote itself. The convention authority's current budget is $11 million, funded mainly from a $2-a-night tax on casino hotel rooms, and $1 a night on noncasino hotels.

The association notes that Las Vegas spends nearly $250 million a year to promote itself.

Atlantic City makes about two-thirds of its money from slots, but has been losing business to new slots-only parlors in Pennsylvania and New York and because of the recession. For the first seven months of this year, Atlantic City casinos won $2.3 billion, down 14.9 percent from the same period in 2008.

But the resort is holding aces. It has gourmet restaurants, spas, shopping and luxury hotels that differentiate it from its competitors.

"There are about 30 million adults who live within a tank of gas of Atlantic City and many of them are not yet aware of the multidimensional nongaming attractions that are offered in Atlantic City," Corbo said.

Atlantic City's casinos are not in a position to finance or even contribute to an expanded marketing effort right now, casino officials say. The Three Trump casinos are in bankruptcy, the Tropicana Casino and Resort just emerged from it and Resorts Atlantic City is fighting off a foreclosure bid. The Atlantic City Hilton Casino Resort is struggling as well. (Credit: AP)

Final Chance To Win Your Macau Seat

Players hoping to win their seat into the main event of next month's Asian Poker Tour (APT) Macau Festival are being given one last chance this weekend through a series of satellites at PartyPoker.com and the iPoker Network.

This year's APT Macau Festival will run from August 12 to 23 at the Galaxy StarWorld Hotel And Casino in the former Portuguese colony with its main event featuring a buy-in set at $4,438.

However, those short of the cash for this buy-in can win their seat for next month's tournament courtesy of leading online poker site PartyPoker.com and the iPoker Network.

Last year's six-day event has been transformed into a record-breaking twelve-day extravaganza creating Asia's first festival of poker. The APT Macau Festival will also feature the largest range of side events ever seen in Asia with high-limit games and sit-and-go tables running throughout.

The APT Macau Festival will also serve as the backdrop for the first Chinese-language poker film, provisionally entitled Poker King, which is due to star A-list Chinese actors and pop stars.

"Next month's APT Macau Festival will be bigger and better with twelve days of non-stop poker action and fun," said Chris Parker, Chief Executive Officer for the APT.

"The APT Macau Festival will feature a side events schedule never seen in Asia before including several new formats that will stir the curiosity of poker enthusiasts at all levels. For those that have not yet reserved their seat to what is sure to be a very memorable event, this weekend marks the last chance for players to qualify through PartyPoker.com and the iPoker Network. Make sure you don't miss out on your APT Macau experience and the chance to win some life-changing prizes."

In 2008, the event attracted some of the most famous names in the game including Doyle Brunson, Jack Binion, Johnny Chan, John Juanda, Huck Seed, Liz Lieu, Todd Brunson, Kenny Tran and Poker Pack members Nam Le, Quinn Do, JC Tran, Steve Sung, David ‘Chino' Rheem and Kwang Soo Lee.

Full details on the upcoming APT Macau Festival can be found at AsianPT.com.
