    No one yet has the full story on the infamous June 29 Northwest Airlines Flight #327 from Detroit to Los Angeles, on which thirteen Syrian musicians acted so suspiciously that passenger and WomensWallStreet.com writer Annie Jacobsen feared she was about to be killed by terrorists. The identity of the band remained unknown for a while until I identified them as the backup band for Canaanite crooner Nour Mehana, whom I dubbed the "Syrian Wayne Newton." Regardless of the behavior of Nour Mehana's band, Ms. Jacobsen's story has focused international attention on the very serious issue of terrorists sizing up our...

    A union representing roughly 1.8 million teachers and other educational workers used taxpayer-funded dues to book a trip to a famous casino and to pay for meals at luxury restaurants. The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) spent over $370,000 on expenses at Caesars Palace, a luxury hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, disclosure forms show. In addition, the AFT also used dues collected from its members to help pay for trips to Europe and South America, as well as to pay off five-figure tabs at upscale restaurants. “My suspicion is that this is a case of ‘rank hath its...

    Terrifying doorbell video has captured the moment a Florida couple was ambushed, shot and robbed just outside their home after hitting a slot machine jackpot at a casino. Kim Chambliss and her boyfriend Val Delacruz were targeted by two masked assailants soon after they cashed their $3,300 winnings at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa on Aug. 2, Fox 13 reported. The two alleged perps — later identified as Marcus Jenkins, 34, and Tristin Wright, 36 — had watched the couple gamble and play the slots for roughly two hours before tailing them home just before 5 a.m.,...

    GOP Rep.

Cheatle neither confirmed nor denied that was the case.

    A New Jersey woman said she won more than $2 million on an Atlantic City slot machine — but the casino isn’t coughing up the dough, leaving the septuagenarian “very anxious” about being unable to help her homeless son. Roney Beal, 72, claims she hit it big on a Wheel of Fortune slot machine at Bally’s Casino in February, but when she went to collect her winnings, the casino claimed the jackpot was due to a technical glitch and therefore didn’t count, she told The Post Saturday. “I just feel it’s not right that they don’t pay out,” Beal said....

    Suffolk OTB will break ground on a $210 million expansion of Jake’s 58 Casino Hotel ahead of its competitors vying for the coveted NYC casino licenses. “We’re not vying for one of the licenses, and as a matter of fact, I think that wherever those casinos are located, we are going to be able to compete very well,” Suffolk OTB CEO Phil Boyle told the Post. The expansion — the first since the casino opened in 2017 — is expected to increase annual revenue by as much as 42% and double terminals to 2,000 and increase parking from 600 spaces...

    VIDEOAll night we kept going up and then down then up and then down. Here is a sample when we were $1 down. Normally when we lose our entire $20 we initially put into the slots we stop but it was February 10, Chinese New Year, so I "splurged" with an extra buck into the slots and... we were up again! The problem was that even though we hit a bunch of lucky spins they did not yield much. At the end of the evening we lost our $20 but, hey, we had fun with that whole Chinese New Year...

    ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The COVID pandemic forced most U.S. casinos to close for months, causing payrolls, revenue and earnings to tumble. But the forced shutdowns and highly regulated recoveries also taught the industry useful lessons that will endure even after the pandemic is a distant memory, panelists at a major casino conference said Thursday. Speaking at the East Coast Gaming Congress, executives from several major regional gambling companies and one of the world’s largest said the changes they were forced to make because of the pandemic had some benefits.

    Steve Cohen has finally laid his cards on the table. The billionaire Mets owner finally unveiled his long-awaited Queens casino plan Tuesday — revealing a sprawling $8 billion gaming center, hotel, and music venue near Citi Field that he has dubbed “Metropolitan Park” after the team’s full corporate name. The proposed entertainment playground, which will be operated with Cohen by Hard Rock International, also offers the community goodies such as 20 acres of green space and access to Flushing Bay. “It’s time the world’s greatest city got the sports and entertainment park it deserves,” said Cohen.

    Detroit's casino workers are currently on strike after union contracts expired at all three of the city’s gambling facilities. Walkouts in Motor City began Tuesday at noon, carried out by some 3,700 casino workers across five unions. The Detroit Casino Council, the body that represents the procession, has been seeking better wages and benefits - a common theme in the US as of late as the cost of living continues to sky-rocket. Strikes, as a result, have been widespread - with nearly 34,000 autoworkers also striking in the city, and more than 160,000 Hollywood actors still seeking higher wages and...

    VIDEOThe last time we went to the casino a couple of weeks ago, Lady Luck blessed my wife with net winnings of almost $400. This time it wasn't that much but at $230 net (after deducting our original $20 and the final $20 when we stopped cold turkey) it wasn't nothing to sneeze at. As I mentioned in this video that amount would pay (using GroupOn) for three the Brazilian Steakhouse dinners for both of us. The big secret of WINNING is to RESPECT Lady Luck by QUITTING when ahead. By doing this Lady Luck continually blesses my wife and,...

    VIDEOIt's absolutely AMAZING how lucky my wife is at the casino. Many of you have seen my previous videos of just how lucky my wife is. We came out of the Caesar's casino in Pompano Beach (where the old harness track was) as winners FIVE TIMES in a row. However, a month ago on the sixth try there we LOST. That's the bad news. However the GOOD NEWS is that due to our money management we only lost $20. We took that as a sign that Lady Luck didn't want us to take too much of an advantage with my...

    VIDEONot only did my wife WIN again at Piggy Penny slots on July 14 but we were entertained by the spectacle of a masked LOSER who had lost hundreds, possibly, over a thousand dollars on the same machine right near us. As you can see we stuck to our strategy of playing only the initial $20 and cashing out while ahead and to play that same $20 again until it was played out. Thus by respecting Lady Luck we are also rewarded by Lady Luck in stark contrast to the angry LOSER near us who melted down upon seeing my...

    A trial for a Las Vegas police officer accused of stealing nearly $165,000 in a series of casino heists is set to begin Monday with prosecutors painting him as a gambling addict who grew increasingly desperate under a crush of debt. Prosecutors claim Caleb Rogers, 35, carried out three robberies over a span of four months while armed with a weapon issued by the police department. Rogers' attorney, Richard Pocker, said the government's evidence allegedly tying Rogers to two of the robberies is weak. He accused the FBI and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department detectives of pressuring two people, including...

    VIDEOMy wife loves the images of fat rich piggies on slot machines so, naturally, on July 3 she played the machines with that porcine image. Our strategy, as always, was to put $20 into the slots and to cash out whenever the winnings go over about $30. That way the most we can lose for the evening would be limited to the initial $20 in the machine. After cashing out we place another $20 in the machine and if we lose that then we are done for the day. However, if we win again we repeat the process of cashing...

In this video, you can see yet another example of my wife being blessed again by Lady Luck at the casino. As typically happens, she was down to almost nothing but then suddenly the winds of fortune suddenly reversed. This happens so frequently that it is eerie (but I'm not complaining).

    In the aftermath, the Trump administration signed off on a bump-stock ban that went into effect in 2018. It’s been challenged in the courts. We never got a solid motive for Paddock’s rampage, only a lot of conjecture. Every avenue regarding this investigation wound up being a dead end. For years, we knew nothing about Paddock’s motivations for committing mass murder until now, but skepticism abounds as the new theory is that the casinos were mistreating him. After nearly a decade of investigating, Paddock committed the worst mass shooting by a single person in US history because he felt disrespected...
