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

Rhode Island Offers Aerosmith Branded Lottery Tickets

The great state of Rhode Island has released "Dream On" scratcher lottery tickets, branded after the classic song by Aerosmith. I guess it was only a matter of time before state lottery commissions started brand scratcher lottery tickets in the same way that slot machines are branded in traditional casinos.

Here's a tv commercial touting the Dream On scratchers:

The company which supplies the "technology" to the states, GTECH, has also made games for the World Series of Poker and the Three Stooges. For their participation, Aerosmith gets an up front licensing fee and a bonus based on sales of the tickets.

Paging Gene Simmons.... Gene Simmons to the cash money licensing desk.

A New Day At Black Hawk

We've got a great guest post today from reader Shadeymonk, who headed up to Black Rock the other day to see how the new rule changes have shaken things up there. Great stuff here for the CO contingent... Take it away Shadey!

Let me start off by saying that Black Hawk didn't even feel like it used to, and that is definitely a good thing. In order to really get how much things have improved, I feel I should explain what Black Hawk used to be like and then how it was different this time around.

Phish In Indio For Halloween 2009?

Book your flights, book your hotel rooms, book your tickets... all signs are pointing to Phish playing a three night Halloween weekend throwdown in the heart of California casino country on October 30, 31 and November 1st.

Five or so years ago, Miss Monkay and I headed out to Indio, California (near Palm Springs) to go see Radiohead, Kraftwerk, Stereolab and a slew of other freaks playing out there. After scorching in the 115 degree desert heat for two days, we tapped out and decided to get the hell outta there and head back to LA... hitting as many casinos we could on the way back.

Pennsy Gov Opens Door To Table Games

Live in PA? Hate slots? Hate driving to Atlantic City? Do something about it... contact your local state representative and tell them that you want table games in Pennsylvania casinos.

Why? Governor Ed Rendell said he'd consider the idea should the state legislature sent him a bill authorizing it, stepping away from his long professed opposition to table games.

Agua Caliente Casino Resort and Spa Review

Having tried almost all the major southern California casinos, I found myself coming back again and again to Agua Caliente Casino Resort and Spa in Rancho Mirage about 20 minutes east of Palm Springs.

There are several reasons why I like Agua Caliente over other properties despite it being further from me than most local casinos: the drive is easy and scenic, the service is good, the casino rocks, and the hotel itself can rival most of the better options in Vegas. If you want the nitty gritty, read on.
