• Luck Of Draw, Roll Of Dice And A Spin Of The Wheel

DOVER TOWNSHIP -- It all came to Rocco Promutico in a dream. On a day when he had shoulder surgery, back in 1998, Promutico had a very vivid dream: He was sitting at a table in a casino, playing a game called "Six Shooters." "I was playing a game that I had never seen before," Dover Township resident Promutico said. "When I woke up, I was able to sit down and draw out a whole sketch of how the game was played." From that sketch came the basic structure of a game called "Roll 6 Poker," which last month was transformed into a New Jersey Instant Lottery game. Since the first blue, yellow and red Roll 6 Poker tickets went on sale throughout the state Jan. 26, nearly $2 million of the $3 tickets have been sold, said Foster Krupa, Instant Game marketing manager for the New Jersey Lottery. Krupa said it is unusual for one person to design a game that is picked up for distribution by the state lottery. "It's not every day that a single person comes out of the woodwork and comes up with a game that is a great concept," Krupa said. [...]

• Insurance Is A Poor Bet At Blackjack, But Not Uniformly

Anyone who's ever sidled up to a casino blackjack table knows "the book says you're not supposed to take insurance." If not before, a neophyte will surely hear it from the veterans when the opportunity to make the bet first arises. Some of the veterans, of course, will be rationalizing why they're doing it anyway. Insurance is a side bet, which can equal up to half of a player's original wager. Available when a dealer has an ace-up, insurance pays 2-to-1 if the dealer has a blackjack and loses otherwise. Say you bet $10 and take $5 insurance. If the dealer flips a 10 you loses the $10 main bet to the resulting blackjack but win $10 on insurance; it's a wash. On other than 10 in the hole, you lose the $5 and the round proceeds. There's a twist when you have a blackjack yourself. Without insurance, you push if the dealer also gets lucky, or else win $15. With insurance, you win $10 either way; this is why insuring a blackjack is sometimes called "taking even money." [...]

• Indonesian Man Wins Record Jackpot - Online

London, UK -- The largest online progressive jackpot recorded in Indonesian history was won by InterCasino player 'Dicdinata', who won a 1,510,876,928 Indonesian Rupiahs ($178,802) MEGA-jackpot on progressive Multi-Player Caribbean Poker from his home in Jakarta. "We have always had strong players from Asia," says an excited InterCasino casino manager Ryan Hartley, "I'm honored, but not surprised, that we have broken the record for paying the largest-ever jackpot in Indonesia. We have made a concerted effort to make InterCasino available to people from all over the globe, and I am happy that our efforts are being reflected in our winners," he continued. InterCasino's popularity across Asia is booming as players take advantage of their Chinese and Japanese language sites, which are not only translated into local language, but also regionalized to make players who use the local language sites feel comfortable with familiar navigation and web page structures. "Besides our English site, which allows play in Dollars and Euros, we have local language sites in Chinese, Japanese, French, Italian, German and Spanish. We also offer support in local language for players at each of those sites. We believe that if a casino is going to be global, it needs to dedicate the resources to its international players," added Hartley. Dicdinata's MEGA-jackpot win came only one week after becoming a player at InterCasino, yet his win of over one and a half billion Indonesian Rupiahs is among the largest Caribbean Poker progressive jackpots ever paid out online. On average, InterCasino pays out over $1 million a week to its lucky winners.
