Gamblers at Atlantic City casinos may someday be able to place bets while standing in line for dinner, in a lounge, or beside a swimming pool. The proposal comes as Atlantic City is feverishly trying to come up with new ways to attract customers.
Station Casinos’ sports book operations added well-respected race and sports book veteran Chuck Esposito, who will take over as Director of Race and Sports Book Operations at Sunset Station in Henderson.
On the Mark | It’s been nothing but New York owns New England, Eli is better than Brady when the pressure is on and Coughlin is a hero. Best of all was Benjamin Lyons betting $1,000 on the first score of the Super Bowl being safety and winning $51,000.
Vaccaro’s Views | As Dandy Don Meredith once so eloquently said, "Turn out the lights, the party is "finally" over." For us in Nevada the meaning really resonates for all of us. One can only imagine if we did not have this spectacle called the Super Bowl.
Some players seem to believe that whatever the winning amount shown on a slot machine is the amount that the casino has to pay. That’s the argument being used by Pauline McKee who says she won $42 million while playing a penny slot machine.
