Never once in this lifetime has there been anything like this - a casino offering free slot play money if you get vaccinated for COVID-19 during a special event. And not just one, but two if you’re up for the Pfizer doses. The Columbus, Ohio, Hollywood casino has made a rather strange deal for players due to the low vaccination rate in the area. Only 36% of individuals in the region have received a shot, so the gambling industry took it upon itself to fix the issue.

The Nevada Gaming Commission voted unanimously on Thursday to approve a settlement with MGE for a $60,000 fine. Why? Simply because players in the casino weren’t wearing masks while playing, and the casino’s staff did nothing about it. Yes, you read that right. Individuals who chose not to wear masks and a casino that allowed them to make that personal choice are in trouble and have to pay up for their disobedience.

The lottery is the most popular form of gambling across this planet. Many participate, but only a few win life-changing payouts. Typically, the chances of winning a big lottery jackpot are 1 in almost 14 million. But Pennsylvania is experiencing a jaw-dropping win after win. And no, not just $5 here and there - we’re talking about million-dollar prizes.

If you win money on a Lottery ticket, you best sign your name on it or hold on to it tightly until you do. It’s better not to go announcing it to the whole either before cashing it. But what do you do if a store clerk is the one trying to cheat you out of your winnings? A woman from Boston serves as an excellent example of what to do in that situation.

Things can get wild at casinos, and not just because people try to rob them. Some try to cheat, others get way too drunk, and many simply cannot act right. A woman from Chicago, Tiara S. Johnson, 29, threw a fit of her own on June 23. She and her friends arrived at the Hard Rock Casino and didn’t even make it through the entrance before casing a massive scene and injuring an officer.
