Growing like kudzoo or the most awesomest infection you've ever had - casinos are everywhere. This is their story.

Agua Caliente Gets iPhone App

The folks at Palm Springs, California's Agua Caliente Casino (who also own the Spa Resort Casino) have unleashed their very own iPhone app onto the world.

The guts of it include a... slot machine app (I hit the jackpot on first spin!), a login to your players club account, show & entertainment guide, a profile of the stuff they've got each of their resorts and something called "Scoop" for which the button says "Please Wait Loading".

It works. But it's sloppy as all get out. Unless you are an Agua Caliente high roller (*ahem* MikeE) there is little reason to put this on your phone. Ok, I laughed when I saw the "Queensryche Cabaret" act advertisement: "playing the hits plus never heard before selections." WTF? If you've got dibs on Operation: MindCrime III, I'm all ears.

Meet Bellagio's Doppelganger, Winn Cambodia

Nestled deep in the Svay Rieng region of south eastern Cambodia, a hundred miles north west of Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City, is Bellagio's doppleganger, which bears a logo that causes even another double take.

Welcome to Winn Cambodia. No shit.

Marina Bay Sands Photo Jackpot!

The Marina Bay Sands, owned by the same folks who brought you the Palazzo Las Vegas, the Venetians in Las Vegas and Macau, the Sands Macao and the Sands Bethlehem in Pennsylvania, is due to open on April 27th and VT roving reporter Dramman has uncovered a batch of killer photos in the stream of Flickr user William Cho.

Here's just a few of the jaw droppers, click on them to see hi-res:

Indiana Casinos: Card Counters Get Lost

My Uncle is a professional card counter in Atlantic City. His days usually start with a bloody mary and scrambled eggs, followed by a hot bath wherein he finishes the New York Times crossword puzzle in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee. He then hops in his White Caddie and goes to Trump Plaza, Showboat or Tropicana where he plays a coupla hours of blackjack. Just before dinner he meets up with some of the other guys in his crew where they divvy up the winnings between them then he goes home. This has been his "job" since the mid 1980s.

The casinos know that he is a card counter. Nearly all of the casinos have at one time or another waved him off the 21 tables, and always with a friendly admonition from a pit boss that goes something like this: "Sir, you're too good for us at blackjack, but we welcome you to play any of our other games." He's learned that as long as he doesn't press too hard when the count is in the players favor, the casinos will let him keep playing. As long as they don't "fish out" the watering hole, they'll still be allowed to go fishing.
