Gamblers in Dandenong lost more than $102 million, while Geelong has also pipped the $100 million mark for the first time.

Read MoreThe two techniques that are mandatory to becoming an educated and prepared video poker player are: 1) how to read a pay schedule with additional education to know the difference between short/partial pay and full-pay versions, and 2) strategies for all the VP types/games. PAY SCHEDULES In a grouping of video poker machines, known as banks or carousels, all of which may look exactly the same, casinos will often 'mix-in' several VP machines with inferior pay programs (short/partial pay). Most often in such a bank of regular non-progressive, non-bonus VP machines, only 1 or 2 may be the Jacks or better 9/6 (nine coins for a full house, and 6 coins for a flush), while the rest are 8/5, 7/5, or even worse, 6/5. This means that one player, on the 9/6 ...
Read MoreIf you like to gamble online, your luck may be about to change for the worse. After the House failed to approve the original Internet Gambling Prohibition Act in July, its champion, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Virginia), has been rewriting it in hopes of attracting additional support. The proposal "says that no money orders or checks or credit cards can be used in an Internet gambling transaction," says Michelle Semones, a spokeswoman for Goodlatte. "If you take away that convenience of using your credit card, you'll lose a lot of customers there." Goodlatte's original legislation failed to reach the necessary two-thirds supermajority because it morphed from a straightforward gambling ban into a way for special interest groups to win exceptions. Some conservative groups pulled their ...

Read MoreEvery poker player knows the oft-told 10-2 story, but nobody tells it like Doyle himself. It was exciting to hear this poker legend gleefully describe each moment in vast detail, as if it were yesterday when he won the championship event of the World Series of Poker in two consecutive years with 10-2 both times. It is a story that deserves to be retold over and over in the memoirs of a poker legend. But first, Doyle said there was a little-known fact about him. He was also the first person to win a cumulative million dollars in tournaments at the WSOP! Besides winning nine WSOP bracelets and finishing in the money 23 times, Doyle also distinguishes himself by being a member of the Poker Hall of Fame and an inaugural inductee to the World Poker ...
Read Morehen people start agreeing with me, I always feel I must be wrong.” Oscar Wilde must have had poker in mind when he wrote that. You only have to play on the Internet for a short while to hear the hordes of unlucky experts bemoan their misfortune at having to play with idiots who don’t know a good hand from a bad one. “How can you call a raise with that rubbish?” they will ask. “It was obvious I had aces or kings!” If I am being abused verbally by other players about how badly I am playing, I always feel this is a good sign. These “experts” confuse their understanding of the mechanics of the game with the skill required to win consistently. The very idea that everyone knows what is correct is evidently wrong when applied to poker...
