The Atlantic City Council have passed a preliminary law that is expected to go into effect around April of 2007 that will make it illegal to smoke on any casino floor.

The casino will be built on the site of the former Bethlehem Steel Co, and the town is now planning a visitor’s center on the same site. The visitor center will house bathrooms, food and drinks, a souvenir shop, as well as a concert hall and information on the history of the area.

Bingo Rules the World

Who hasn't heard of the game of bingo. I know I grew up playing bingo at school and camp. A game that everyone can play; easy to learn and easy to win. Since the emergence of the game that we know today roughly 75 years ago, bingo has traveled the globe causing a stir much like a tornado. Bingo is the hottest new craze covering the age groups of 30 to 45 years olds. And it is one of the gambling industries leading moneymakers!

How and When

Bingo originated as a national lottery in Italy over 450 years ago. It was adopted several centuries later by the French changing the name slightly to Le Lotto. Originally a lottery based game, and based off of lottery today, you can see why the French called it the Lotto.

Coming to the States and transforming rapidly to the common game we all know, bingo has stayed pretty much the same game in the United States but changed into an all out gambling game in the UK and Australia.

Where and Who

In the US, bingo is played mostly for charity at VFW halls, and churches. But is widely played between groups like this and the elderly citizens of our fine country. Otherwise, bingo has rocked the UK for the last 40 to 50 years as a major gambling outlet and is a multi million dollar venture for the European business person.

With major jackpots in the UK alone of up to 1 million pounds, I would have to say that it is no small charity that bingo is today in the UK. Surpassing all countries with the amount of bingo players and bingo halls, the UK is the worlds leading bingo playing country I the world.
