The Final Countdown

Get ready for the last scene in the  2009 World Series of Poker. As the year is drawing to an end one of the biggest poker event in the year, is also drawing also to the last scene on November 7.

November nine

The only question remaining is who will win the finals. Though every player is guaranteed to win at least $1,263,602. The people remaining in the final round are the following:

  1. Jason Mercier – 3,198,000
  2. James Akenhead – 1,398,000
  3. Praz Bansi – 1,160,000
  4. Barry Shulman – 1,090,000
  5. Markus Ristola – 784,000
  6. Antoine Saout – 701,000
  7. Matt Hawrilenko – 674,000
  8. Chris Bjorin – 518,000
  9. Daniel Negreanu – 438,000

Their are many guesses and predictions that who will win in the end,  will it be Jason Mercier, or Chris Bjorin they are lucky or just play their hands smart. I personally opt for Matt Hawrilenko.

As if Michael Jackson were not even dead.

Before Michael Jackson died he had many plans for the future, he wanted to go on a  3 year world tour, introduce a new album, make a movie, and to open a casino in Las Vegas. Though he was in debt 100 million dollars, from getting sewed from former associates. But now the movie “This is it” was predicted to bring billions of dollars to the Jackson bank, and it probably will since it is even rumored that Michael Jackson will get an Oscar for his movie.

Jacksons plans for the future

Jackson’s Zombies already has a great uproar since 1982 when the film was produced. The “Thriller” would have even gained more popularity with the casino that was to open in Las Vegas. The Casino was to crawl with the undead based on the worldwide hit  the ‘Thriller’.  The film is supposedly sending chills down peoples backs even today as they watch the movie. Though compared to modern technologies some of the effects, and stage setups would be said to be extremely cheesy it did bring something new in it’s time.  I placed a few clips from the movie here, check it out and see if you will get creeped out from seeing the zombies.

*$* So just imagine between the two clips if the planned zombie casino would appear, would you play with a few zombies walking around trying to catch you? Or your money? Well just watch out for what you wish for it might actually come true.

Gun Lake Casino

Well no one can say their is no business in running a casino this proves the Gun Lake Casino opening on Indian territory, in Michigan. Though the tribe is on the brink of bankruptcy, the ground breaking for a  new Casino just took place yesterday, on September 17th. This a $200 million project, that the tribe has difficulty to gather, since banks have tightened standards. If you have never had seen a plan about how a casino is built here is the procedure this casino is following:

  1. 83,000 square foot facility, that will cost $157 million
  2. the construction period that will take up to 10-to-12 months
  3. Opening day

“Step one of the Gun Lake Casino will create 600 direct jobs with a total average annual compensation package of approximately $40,000; 1,000 indirect jobs; and $30 million per year in direct purchases of goods and services. Seven hundred and fifty construction jobs will be created over the course of construction.”

The Casino is scrambling to scrape together the money they need, while the Casinos in Michigan also face troubled times. Now the question that popped into my mind while reading this, is why would anybody be so set on opening a new Casino? In thees difficult financial times?  Well, I guess their is still good money left out their for the casinos to acquire. Though their where many layoffs in Casinos in Michigan, where it was not unusual to lay of 100 workers at a time. But with all the financial difficulties ahead of Gun Lake Casino they still believe, in completing the new Casino. Who knows maybe this Casino will survive and flourish… after it is built, that is.

Tournament Prize, 3 new Harley bikes.

Tournament Prize, 3 new Harley bikes.

Las Vegas,

3 Harley bikes,

Vegas Casino


Just saw the news that their is a bike week in Las Vegas, where the give away 3 Harley motor bikes. The prize will be given away by Golden Nugget Casino. Well maybe, I am just so enthusiastic about this event since I have never played in a Vegas Casino.  But the the opportunity to win something is always tempting. This event will be held from October the 1st to 14th, at the same time the Bike Fest will be held, where all the bikers will meet up.

A few other items that Golden Nugget Casino is distibuting:

  • 2010 Softail Deluxe
  • 2010 Road King
  • 2010 V-Rod Muscle

But not only that Golden Nugget Casino will be offering $80,000 for the winner in the Wheelin’ & Dealin’ Blackjack and Poker Tournament. Which will also take place at this time October 2 – 4, 2009.

Sadly the entry fee is not as uplifting as some might expect which is $500, but the bright side is that you get to participate in both tournaments (poker & blackjack).

Commerce Tournament

Commerce Casino is located in Los Angeles, downtown . The casino opened it’s doors to the public in 1983. In addition to the main building it also has a shopping arena, a grand hotel, restaurants, and many more luxury to those who can afford it.

casino, tournament, prize, Los Angelos, poker,

But the reason I am writing this article is because the Commerce Casino complex held a tournament and the prize is $2 000, 000!  But the good news is this event is still going since it started on Sept. the 10 and ends on the 27. Their is still time to the 27, to have a chance in winning the prize.

Since today, in the internet world many people favor online casinos over a land-based casino (including me). But this event attracted more people than any non-WSOP event, 3,967 players are expected to attend the event. This may because of the great tournament director: Matt Savage, or because summer has ended.

One extremely appealing event scheduled is the $335 knockout tournament, where you receive $100 for every person you eliminate from the game. So if anyone has doubt about this event check out Commerce Casino it self.

Note: Commerce Casino will be introducing a new Players Rewards Card that will be required for Tournament Registration.  The previous Players Card will no longer be valid as of 7/22/09.  We urge everyone to apply for their new Players Rewards Card before the Commerce Hold’em Series or at least 2 hours prior to the event you want to play at the Casino Services Desk located next to the Gift Shop.  We expect long lines if you do decide to wait til the start of any event.  Thank you and hope to see you in September!

A new Casino Comparison

Since this is a new blog I thought of introducing a totally new gambling site Casino Center which gave this blog it’s  name. Where the the author compares different casinos, and introduces the special events presented by the casino. Their are popular, and unknown poker and casino sites that get listed. But one of my favorite future is that it has clear and short game rules described on the Rules and Tips page.

A few negative aspects that hit my eye right away, is that it has no news page. Which is one of the key factor for these pages, and it is ‘unforgivable‘ if it is left out, on this page it is left blank. Another downside is that this page introduces the casinos on the main page with fact, what kind of games are given, what payment methods are accepted and so on.  Which is fine if you like facts. :)

But a unique aspect that I found on this page is that it has a lot of plain facts on the casino/poker reviewed for example what kind of software runs behind the casino page, or the features,  but it informs the players of the upcoming tournaments, or the bonuses given, etc. The other future that that is quite useful is that that useful tips are given for the games as mentioned above ‘short but sweet‘. A few games like the ancient Chineese lottery ~ Keno is introduced as one of the most popular games.

All in all the page has some unique aspects, that help the players to an amazing game play either in poker, slots, bingo, or a challenging tournament. While offering a wide range of choices from casinos.
