The Nevada Cancer Institute has been called the official charity of the WSOP in Las Vegas.

WSOP participants can assist the non-profit charity by visiting the “Ace’s Club” throughout the tournament. The lounge offers food, beverages, massage and a game room. All proceeds go to benefit cancer research, education and treatment at NVCI.

“We are thrilled to be a community partner with the Harrah’s organization, and are thankful for their dedication to the health and future of the community,” – said Sandra Murdock, president and chief executive officer of NVCI.

Lots of players every year enjoy a great variety of games during the World Series of Poker run by Harrah’s Entertainment. But there is an opinion that the WSOP could be much better if the games like Badugi, Chinese Poker, Five-card draw, B.O.R.E.D. and Guts were on the tournament slate.

Badugi is the ultimate lowball game for action junkies played regularly during the WSOP in Vegas Casinos.

Chinese Poker is getting more popular with pros playing for high stakes.

The game requires all cards to be shown, so, comments and debates over whether players used optimal strategy in arranging their hands are unavoidable.

Most poker players learn to play five-card draw as kids. The idea of offering a bracelet event in five-card draw is unusual, but it gives a chance to revisit the nostalgia of childhood and the chance to attract casual poke fans, as almost everyone understands five-card draw.

B.O.R.E.D. is a mix of games including Badugi, Omaha 8, Ruzz, Stud 8 and 2-7 Triple Draw. Tons of action with three drawing rounds apiece will be offered in Badugi and Triple Draw, traditional split games – in Omaha 8 and Stud 8, lowball stud game – in Razz.

Guts is the tournament for poker players who are gamblers. Everyone has played it at some point. And watching professional gamblers play this game for high stakes can become an outstanding show.

According to the study of the Oregon Department of Human Services free online gambling turned out to be the most dangerous form of gambling among the state’s students. The survey shows that 33% of children between the ages of 12 and 17 have gamed online free of charge.

Wendy Hausotter, problem gambling prevention coordinator with Oregon Department of Human Services said: “It disconnects them from the reality of the situation. We’re afraid that they’re going to want to do this more and more. If they do this with money, they’re at risk for many things”.

Having studied the results of the survey, state official plan to meet with gambling prevention specialists to find the way out of the risky situation and get the message out.

Potential customers can play for free on almost all online gambling websites. To play for free, all you need is your name and email address. These two things obviously do not show the age of the player. On the other hand playing online for free, you do not wager real money or anything of value. So, it follows that “free online gambling is a misleading term”. And popular websites from ESPN all the way to ABC offer online office pools (for example March Madness), which in their basics are nothing more than free online gambling.

CircusCasino.com is the first online casino brand launched in GB by Genting International Plc. Genting International operates 44 casinos in Britain. Having received an approval from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission for an online gaming license, Genting International will start its online business in the latter part of the second quarter.

To be run by Genting Stanley Alderney Ltd (GSAL), the casino will offer over 100 casino, card and table games.

Still, investors have some concern regarding Genting International’s financial position. On the one hand, the cost of Genting International’s integrated resort project in Singapore is on the rise. On the other hand, its British operations have been affected by lower business volume, higher net debts written off and increased gaming duties.

Genting International claims that the launch of Circus Casino was not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets and earnings per share of the company for the financial year ending Dec 31.
