Wow! That's huge. Congrats to her. Can't either imagine to win that BIG! that's a lot.

Gaming software company Playtech appears to have fallen foul of the Hindu community after an online slot game called Lakshmi Gold was released in which some of the religion’s holiest deities are used as symbols on a reel.

Hinduism is the predominant religion of India, and as well as being the world’s third biggest religion with around one billion followers, it is also the world’s oldest religion. Whereas Christianity began around 30BC and Islam in 610BC, Hiduism’s sacred texts the Vedas were written down around 1500BC.

Nevertheless, Playtech apparently thought it was a good idea to produce a Hindu deities themed slot machine, which features Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, fortune and beauty as a bonus symbol in a five reel 25 payline video slot. A hymn to Lakshmi is even played during free spins. In addition, Lord Ganesh the god of wisdom is also known as the remover of obstacles and his appearance signifies, in this case, a jackpot payout.

The Detroit Lakes Middle School choir will perform “America the Beautiful,” and the members of DLMS band will also play “Taps.”

Detroit Lakes VFW Commander Andy Foltz will lead the program.

DL isn’t the only town hosting activities on Monday, however:

In Vergas, Sanders will speak again after the parade, which begins at 9 a.m. downtown. The ceremony will be in the Vergas Village Cemetery.

When Hollywood Casino Toledo opens its doors to the public for the first time Tuesday, it hopes thousands of people pour in with cash to lose. But casino bosses also will be on the lookout for a different class of gamblers -- those who have proved they can beat the house.

They are simply called "card counters" by those in the gambling industry, and what they do is not illegal, but if they are spotted on the casino floor they'll be asked to leave.

Macau’s $34 billion gaming industry has an obstacle. With 28 million visitors and 21 percent economic growth last year, Macau is confronting a severe labor shortage.

The Chinese city, one of two of the country’s special administrative regions along with Hong Kong, is the world’s largest gambling hub by revenue and is close to full employment. As a result, casino operators such as Las Vegas Sands, Wynn Resorts and Hong Kong-traded Galaxy Entertainment are having trouble finding workers as they seek to draw more of the Chinese tourists who drove gambling revenue up 42 percent last year. Rules requiring firms to hire from Macau’s population of about half a million are driving up wages and have casino operators competing for card dealers, construction workers and executives.

Of late the popular Microgaming Mega Moolah progressive jackpot has been reporting frequent hits. Mega Moolah secured its place in online gambling history when it paid over €6 million to a River Belle online casino player in May 2009. Thereafter it sort of settled in payouts between 2.5 million credits and 4 million credits, but over the last six months the payouts have begun to nose dive. Originally the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot was networked to the four Mega Moolah slot games – Mega Moolah, Summertime, Isis and 5 Reel Drive. Then in the summer of 2011, the branded slot game The Lord of the Rings was also attached to this network.

Does it bother you that an online casino paid a Utah woman, Kari Smith, who needed money for her son’s education, $10,000 to tattoo its Web site on her forehead? Or that Project Prevention, a charity, pays women with drug or alcohol addictions $300 cash to get sterilized or undertake long-term contraception? Some 4,100 women have accepted this offer.

Michael Sandel, the Harvard political theorist, cites those examples in “What Money Can’t Buy,” his important and thoughtful new book. He argues that in recent years we have been slipping without much reflection into relying upon markets in ways that undermine the fairness of our society.

That’s one of the underlying battles this campaign year. Many Republicans, Mitt Romney included, have a deep faith in the ability of laissez-faire markets to create optimal solutions.

Is it too early to declare Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation chair Paul Godfrey’s casino resort plot for Toronto’s waterfront dead, finished, kaput?

City staff’s report on the pros and cons, whys and wherefores of that project isn’t due for five months, but a confluence of events in recent days is spelling curtains for the casino.

The five signs of the apocalypse where a casino is concerned:

1. Godfrey seems to be setting his sights eastward, pumping a casino in, of all places, Ottawa. He was in the capital last week talking up the plan with a captive audience of biz leaders and city councillors.

2. The port lands is out of the running. Arguably, it was never a viable option, but it’s even less so now that Waterfront Toronto’s development plans for the eastern waterfront won’t be put on that fast track the brothers Ford were betting on.

But more to the point, the port lands is all infill, so parking at a casino resort would have to be above ground. Using casinos’ one-parking-space-per-slot-machine ratio – OLG is contemplating 5,000 slots – that’s too much valuable real estate to consign to cars. And that’s not even counting spaces for retail or a possible hotel.

3. There are jobs to save in the mayor’s backyard in Etobicoke. Putting a casino anywhere in Toronto would effectively kill the slots at Woodbine, which the racetrack relies on heavily for revenues.

Slots are subsidizing a struggling horse racing industry that provides jobs for Ontarians (it’s the second-largest agriculture-related sector in the province), some of them living in Etobicoke.

4. Ontario Place is not an option. John Tory, who heads up a group looking at future uses for the amusement park, is pretty unequivocal on the subject of a casino, despite continuing speculation in the press that the province sees it as a possible site.

Tory’s words to me: “I was from the outset lukewarm about more casinos generally and also about a casino at Ontario Place. I have not received a card, letter, email, smoke signal or any other message whatsoever from anyone in the government trying to make a case for or otherwise advocate a casino. They have left us to do our work.” In other words: not going to happen.

As for the Ex, lobbying firm GCI has joined the ranks making tracks to City Hall on the casino file, recently registering to represent the interests of Caesars Entertainment Corporation.

The mayor has his designate, Etobicoke councillor Mark Grimes, chairing the board of governors of the CNE. But downtown councillors are strenuously opposed, and they seem to have council’s votes on their side.

Also, the Greater Toronto Hotel Association, which has also registered to lobby, isn’t exactly diving into the casino business with both feet. It’s taking a wait-and-see approach. But if I had to read between the lines of GTHA head Terry Mundell’s comments to me, I’d say he’s leaning toward skeptical on the yes-no meter where a casino is concerned.

5. Lastly, and also important to consider, is that Strategic Communications poll last week showing public support for a casino tilting almost two to one against when people are asked if they’d accept one in their backyard. Shelley Carroll was right. Siting this thing is going to be harder than finding a location for an incinerator.

The big players from Vegas say they don’t want anything to do with it, but Woodbine could still emerge as a compromise. It’s relatively isolated, at the nexus of Highway 27 and Rexdale Boulevard; there are some 650 acres of wide-open, undeveloped land; and slots and a racetrack are already there. The stalled Woodbine Live plan might provide further impetus.

But there, again, council would more than likely balk, reasoning that what’s bad for the waterfront is bad for the people of Rexdale, too.

And, all that being said, the timing is all wrong. OLG is looking to sign a deal with someone, anyone, by the fall – it issued its RFI, or request for information, two weeks ago – and council is unlikely to make a decision until October at the earliest.

For a number of reasons, the provincial Libs aren’t as keen on casinos as some think. Never have been. For starters, it ain’t gonna win them any votes, either in Toronto or in rural areas that rely on gambling revenues and would be decimated by a honkin’ resort sucking up an already saturated gambling market. Then there’s the fact that this whole plan to “modernize” gaming is Godfrey’s idea. The Grits have been playing Mutt and Jeff on the file, bluffing all along.

Online gambling is where the big cash is, and that’s the market the Libs really want to exploit. It’s where the big players like MGM are heading.

The Libs would be happy to sell off some gambling assets they have now. It’s right there in black-and-white in OLG’s RFI. The Libs also quietly passed a regulation requiring municipalities to consult with residents. That markedly reduces the odds of anyone’s agreeing to take a casino. A fairness commissioner is being appointed to oversee pitches that come OLG’s way after it releases its request for proposals, expected sometime in the next few days.

The more the casino wheeling and dealing plays out, the clearer it’s becoming that Godfrey’s rolling snake eyes on this one.

Can you feel it? Can you hear it? Bovada's online casino is paying again, and it's not just quarters rattling down to customers. It's cold, hard, cash.
