• Meet Ronald: Winner of the World's Largest Ever Online Jackpot

Ronald H. became an instant millionaire when he won the largest ever online jackpot at Golden Tiger Casino (www.goldentigercasino.com). Golden Tiger Casino is a member of the Jackpot Madness network (www.jackpotmadness.com).

• iGambling Bills: Stark Choice for U.S. Congress

The Leach / Kyl bills’ clumsy attempt to prohibit Internet gambling could backfire, while the Conyers bill offers a sorely needed study of this new form of gambling. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 18, 2003 -- As the U.S. Congress again takes up the issue of Internet gambling, Congressional representatives are faced with bills that take diametrically opposite approaches. Rep. Jim Leach’s bill, H.R. 21, attacks Internet gambling by cutting off its financial underpinnings, placing enforcement burdens on financial institutions, while Rep. John Conyers’ bill sets up a commission to study how to best respond to and potentially regulate the industry. Today, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee held a hearing on a proposal by Sen. Jon Kyl, S. 627, which contains similar language to Rep. Leach’s bill. The Interactive Gaming Council, a longtime advocate of regulation and licensing of online gaming, believes the Leach / Kyl bills would exacerbate the problems they seek to address. According to Rick Smith, executive director of the IGC, “The Conyers bill offers the best opportunity to protect U.S. citizens and deal with the issues that accompany this type of gambling.” [...]

• From 'Let's Roll' To Rolling The Dice

This is how war makes its debut: as a television program. We sit and watch weapons halfway around the world seek targets of opportunity. We watch the president in the Oval Office, with photos of his daughters in the background, saying, “We will accept no outcome but victory.” And this time the network doesn't return to “Fear Factor.” There is no need. George W. Bush's war is now my war, your war, our war. Even those of us who disputed his arguments, disparaged his diplomacy, dismissed his logic and distrusted his worldview are left with one ironic, collective hope. We have to hope he is right. Watching soldiers who look so very, very young, thinking of refugees and civilians, we are all reduced to one common denominator of a wish. We have to wish that the administration's rosiest scenario -- a quick victory, few casualties, regime change, democracy -- actually comes true. Those of us who worry that this war will recruit another generation of terrorists, uproot allies and further destabilize the Middle East want one more thing. We want to be proved wrong. [...]

• Casinos expect war slowdown

ATLANTIC CITY - When the bombs start dropping on Baghdad, if it comes to that, casino executives some 6,100 miles away expect to feel reverberations in the form of lost business. "Obviously, if the country goes to war, the whole nation is going to be focused on that," said Robert Stewart, spokesman for Atlantic City's largest casino operator, Park Place Entertainment. "I think there will be a period of time where people are watching the television and seeing what's going on. The question is, How long will that period of time last?" he said. "A lot of that will depend on how well the war goes." [...]
