Watch the excitement of this Marine and his friends as he wins $2.8 million dollars. How cool is that? Although the odds are against you in a casino, jackpots are still won. And sometimes those jackpots are pretty big. One time I was playing at the Pioneer Hotel and Gambling Hall in Laughlin, Nevada when a lady won $2.4 million on a progressive slot machine. Another time my wife and I were sitting next to a lady that won $26,000 on progressive bonus poker at Laughlin Golden Nugget. But I digress. The point is that yes, people really do win humongous jackpots – once in a while. Someday I’ll find the photos of my big wins and post some of them here. Now continue on and watch this Marine as he and his buddies get a load of this 2.8 million dollar jackpot. Warning: Contains some profanity (they are Marines)

Casino ‘Wars’ Break Out In Northeast – Tax Breaks Sought
At one time, racetrack casinos contributed to as much as $239 million a year to the tax coffers of Delaware. But now the state’s casino revenues have fallen tremendously as a result of the growth of gambling destinations throughout the Northeast. This has prompted the industry to ask for tax breaks.
Delaware’s democratic Governor, Jack Markell stated, “It’s a different world for the Delaware casinos,” . Markell supports reducing the tax burden on casinos by as much as $20 million a year to allow them to compete with the expanded competition.
In the past ten years, more casinos have opened in the Northeast than in any other part of the country. The expansion has caused a shakeup in the Northeast region. New projects presently [Read more…] about Casino ‘Wars’ Break Out In Northeast – Tax Breaks Sought

But when I read about a lady’s comment that taking turmeric had the curious side effect of eliminating her gambling addiction, my jaw dropped! The moderator of the article at The Spokesman Review was just as surprised as I was. But what if her claim was true? What if taking turmeric really could help people quit gambling?
Now I’m a gambler and a turmeric user and I have to tell you that I haven’t noticed such an affect. But I was intrigued by the notion of using a spice to cure gambling addiction.

Gambling Increases Happiness of Seniors
The overall happiness of seniors may be directly linked to their gambling. Casino gambling and busloads of seniors seem to just go together.

Studies show that the happiness level of elderly folks spikes sky-high when they’re gambling.
