• Internet Gambling : Amendment May Derail Ban Bill

WASHINGTON -- Momentum to ban Internet gambling came to a screeching halt Wednesday when a House panel voted 16-15 to attach an amendment that broadens its restrictions. The dramatic outcome came down to a final vote cast by Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., on a key amendment by Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah. With the House Judiciary Committee deadlocked at 15-15, Waters walked over to the chair of Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the ranking Democrat. After a brief discussion, Waters announced her vote in favor of Cannon's amendment, which would remove exemptions granted to technologies employed by state lotteries and the horse racing industry. "I was trying to think of the effect of this amendment and what would happen if it passed. I wanted to slow this (Internet gambling ban) down," Waters said. "I was trying to ferret out how to signal my distaste with it all," Waters said. "We need to stop piecemealing what we are going to allow and not allow on the Internet." The vote on final passage of the Internet gambling ban proposed by Rep. Jim Leach, R-Iowa, was only slightly less compelling.

• Morris County Mother Gets ‘Kick’ Out Of Slot Win

ATLANTIC CITY - A Ledgewood woman said she was about to leave a Wild Wild West Casino slot machine Friday night when she felt her unborn child kick her stomach. Thinking it was an omen, 34-year-old Valerie Johannessen said she continued to play. Three pulls of the handle later she won a $4,434,930 jackpot. "I was about to leave. I had played $50, and the machine was rejecting the money I was trying to put in the bill changer, which means to me that I should play a different machine," Johannessen said. "But the baby started kicking," she said. "So I said to myself, 'The baby is telling me to stay.' Now I can't believe this is happening." Johannessen and her husband, Gregg, play the same Wheel of Fortune 50-cent machine each time they visit Atlantic City, and won $1,000 on the machine a few weeks ago. This time she took home a check for $221,746 and will receive an equal sum annually for the next 19 years. [...]

• BoDog Puts Survivor Scandal To Rest

Nearly six weeks ago BoDog Sportsbook & Casino was forced to stop accepting wagers on Survivor 6: The Amazon after discovering CBS employees were wagering on the outcome. While many members of the media questioned the authenticity of the story, Sunday's final episode of Survivor 6 proved, once and for all, that CBS employees were in fact using insider knowledge to profit. "We had no doubts about these people being employees of CBS. Our investigation made it quite clear that these people were working with the network," said BoDog President, Rob Gillespie. "The accounts in question had been correct on the previous two shows in wagering on the eventual final two survivors. This time they were wagering on Matt and Jenna." And, to the surprise of nobody at BoDog, the two final contestants on the show were Matt and Jenna, with Jenna eventually taking the $1-million prize. Jenna was originally a 12/1 longshot. [...]
