Online invitations to May’s extravaganza have been posting on sites such as TwoPlusTwo and invite players to “Compete in this prestigious event.” The man, after whom the event is named, Phil Ivey, is himself a celebrated seven-time bracelet winner and he also reached the final table of last year’s World Series of Poker Main Event. His excellence and tenacity in all types of contests, from cash games to tournaments, and stretching through almost every type and hybrid of the wonderful game that is poker have all contributed to making Ivey among the most dominant and respected players currently playing.

Friday May 21st will see a cocktail reception that will mark the tournament’s registration, and both of these events will take place at Aria’s Deuce Lounge. On May 22nd the $1 million event itself will take place and will conclude with the tournament winner playing against Ivey himself heads-up for a mouth-watering $250,000. The tournament runner-up will win an enticing $70,000 in cash, third place will net $40,000, fourth position $35,000, fifth place will take home $25,000, sixth place will net $15,000, with the seventh and eighth-placed players boosting their bank balances by $10,000 and $5,000 respectively.

The big clash between Ivey and the winner of the tournament for the quarter of a million dollar prize will happen in the Ivey room immediately after play is concluded. In order to knock out Ivey the player will be required to oust the player that many believe is currently poker’s finest all-round performer, holder of seven WSOP bracelets and poker’s all-time highest money winner.

The Aria itself is owned by MGM mirage and MGM also own many other casinos both in Las Vegas and around the world. The venue often plays host to a clutch of top poker pros and also boasts ‘Bobby’s Room”, which demands a minimum $20,000 buy-in and features two tables.

Aria itself also has a 24-table poker room and plays host to a full range of poker and poker hybrid games. The Aria Casino poker room opened in December 2009 to great acclaim and there is absolutely no question that May’s events should be among the most exciting in the world of poker for some time.

There will be certain differences to past versions, however; one of which will be that the new version will offer the chance to win an additional $5,000 in a race to play the most hands for smaller players, as well as another Points Chase that will continue to reward online poker players and all winning gamblers with an exciting range of prizes, the theme of which will be based on the coming World Cup soccer tournament set to get under way this June.

The race structure set up by the RedKings game will require that poker players choose their level of RedKings points that they are confident of attaining every day and then ensure that they reach their set targets. Players will be able to choose a range of points targets, from 25 to 500 points per day, and for every day that a player hits their target, they will earn themselves one Race Point. This is critical, as it is the Race Points that will win players the prizes being offered, not pure wins alone.

Players deciding to go for the lower ends of 25 or 50 poker points per day will face additional enticements from RedKings as they will be eligible to win an additional $5,000 which the company will pay out to players playing the most hands throughout the duration of the promotional period. Those players winning at the higher end of the point spectrum will also be able to choose from an enticing range of prizes such as 50 inch flat screen televisions, a $2,000 home theater system and a high-end laptop that will seamlessly stream all of the World Cup action to them in the event that they are away from their TV sets. These prizes are in addition to players’ winnings generated by their Race Points. The promotion, starting on May 3rd, will run right through until May 30th.

There were relatively few women playing poker when Rosario first started out, she commented, and while since  then the number of women involved in the game has increased they are still a relative minority compared to other players. Rosario, who now lives in Southern California in order to be near to Los Angeles’ many casinos is typical of what the University of Connecticut’s gambling experts have termed an evolving gambling culture and one that continues to attract more and more women due to the increased opportunities for active gambling games such as poker and craps.

Jonathan Beazley, who is an interventionist at the University of Connecticut’s Counseling and Mental Health Services, has also seen first-hand the number of gambling women rise higher and higher during the period of the past decade. He believes that, as our societal ideas regarding women and gambling have evolved, women have gradually felt more and more accepted into the general gambling culture and the games connected to the culture. He added that, as a result, there was considerably less stigma attached to women who gamble.

Research has indicated that college women are still gambling less than their male counterparts are, and men are still twice as likely to develop gambling problems. In 2008 women aged between 20 and 29 that called the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling’s Helpline accounted for just 9.6% of the total of problem gamblers, whilst men within the same age range accounted for 23.3%.

It is widely believed that part of the added attraction for women is the heavy and glamorous TV coverage of poker, as well as heavy advertising for other forms of gaming, whether at casinos or online. Some also believe that women are actually better suited to poker, as their egos do not interfere with the playing of the game.

Hintze’s time over the past few years has largely been spent in pursuit of information regarding the scandal, citing her determination and desire to uncover more information with regards to educating and informing the poker public, and also finding out just who was responsible for the scandal. Hintze herself was able to obtain computer screen shots of the accounts of those cheating in the scandal, which she got from the administrative systems of both AP and UB. These images, when put together with her undoubted knowledge of just how the systems operate, convinced Hintze that the co-founder of Absolute Poker was fairly certainly the one behind the cheating scandal.

Hintze then posted a selection of the screen shots on her blog during the course of the last weekend as well as accompanying explanations of just what the viewers were looking at. Her first screen shot illustrates basic account information for Tom’s player account, called ‘PotChopper’, which was set up in June 2005. After this, she displays a screen shot from UB’s anti-fraud system, called ieSnare. The program was capable of seeing AP accounts after the two poker providers collaborated in order to set up the CEREBUS Network. The image itself displays records of the PotChopper account’s loggias to UB, and the information contained included dates and times of logins as well as a possible unique computer identifier and IP addresses.

Hintze follows up with more screenshots from AP, which illustrate logins corresponding to a unique user identifier that was ascribed to Tom’s computer and his own user ID was matched with logins to the foremost super user account called Potripper. She then posted screenshots of logins by tow further proven cheating accounts, called Doubledrag and Graycat, which display close associations to the same user ID and IP addresses. 

In order to further illustrate her point that Tom was overseeing the cheating accounts she put up a screenshot of PotRipper’s financial history, with the account getting a $70,000 transfer from Doubledrag on September 20, 2007. The next day the AP system noted the account as a result of its size and withdrew $70,217.25 from the account. Five days after this Tom took out $85,000 from the account.

The overall reaction to the postings has not caused a massive reaction, with some posters praising her journalistic work and endeavors and some calling for the sacking of Tom, although responses have been more muted that may have been expected.

The final hand of the game saw Baldwin shoving his big blind stack boasting an A-5 of hearts, with Williams tanking before finally calling with a pair of pocket deuces. Then came the flop-A-7-6, which granted Baldwin the top pair and put him very much in the pole position to comfortably double up. It was just at this point that disaster befell Baldwin as a deuce hitting on the turn improved Williams to a set and left Baldwin drawing dead.

Speaking to Poker News Daily after the tournament Williams spoke of his relief at coming out on top in the tournament, stating that the win has been some time in the making. There is a core group of other players, he added, including Nenad Medic, Tuan Le, Michael Mizrachi, Joe Cassidy and himself. Phil Ivey, Nenad, Grinder and Tuan all had won the match previously and he said it felt good to win the match once as well.

Meanwhile John O’Shea, who was the short stack coming into the WPT Championship final table, was knocked out of the tournament in sixth position, pocketing himself a useful £199,000. Billy Baxter, who dropped a $4.4 million stack against Williams, was pushed back into fifth place. Baxter then open-shoved in holding A-Jack of Spades, with Williams calling holding K-10 suited Hearts. To everyone’s surprise, the flop came out A-Q-J, which gave Williams the nuts, whilst giving Baxter pairs. Baxter came away with a decent $246,000 consolation, and Williams suddenly found himself holding half of all chips in play heading into four-handed play. Next to depart was the high-stakes professional David Benyamine, with Shawn Buchanan also falling shortly after.

Manitoba’s Lotteries Minister, Steve Ashton, speaking from the provincial capital of Winnipeg, stressed that although the provincial government was looking into the issue no final decision had yet been made.

The reason that the Manitoba government is looking at developing the online gambling industry is that it wishes primarily to offer players alternatives to the many offshore sites that they will be able to trust with confidence. Ashton’s government group is looking into either setting up a website of its own or forming a strategic partnership with other provinces with regards to setting up a common multi-provincial site that would provide online casino games for gamblers.

There is little doubt that extra tax funds from the venture was a pull, and this was indeed mentioned, although the overriding concerns stated by most were in regards to the need to ensure that such an official site would ensure that players seeking online entertainment in Manitoba would have access to a site that had inbuilt safeguards such as transfer limits, secure payments and age checks.

There is no question that government-run gaming web sites are gradually becoming legal in other Canadian provinces, with Quebec allowing Loto-Quebec the opportunity to offer online gaming, including poker and sports betting. In addition, British Columbia Provincial Lotteries has been running online games for more than five years and will soon offer such casino games as poker, blackjack and roulette. Additionally Ontario, Manitoba’s neighboring province, is exploring legalizing online games with a view to offering them to gamers. The Federal government has yet to comment on the issue, although the case would appear to be growing.

According to Ashton, most people involved in online gaming would prefer to have a well-regulated and official site. The CEO of the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, John Borody, concurred stating, “Let’s not put our heads in the sand. It’s out there, so let’s look at opportunities. There’s definitely an opportunity to intervene and that can only been done through a government site.” He added that the only remaining issue was just how the government should intervene when someone experienced problems.

The Safe Gaming System offers users and the industry alike what has been called a “two-pronged approach” to the problem, firstly aiding by helping those players already registered with the service to set themselves affordable limits for their gambling based upon their own personal income and expenses. SGS urges its users to set aside both time and money limits well in advance of getting involved in gambling and away from “the enticing atmosphere of a gaming venue.” As a result, it claims that players will thus be able to think much more rationally with regards to their limits and capacities and will therefore be able to set reasonable personal limits.

The second prong of the SGS approach is that it provides a dedicated mechanism for players to successfully and safely fund their online casino accounts. The first step in this is for players to open an SGS account and then fund their online SGS account for what is termed a “budget period”. In order to do this they must pre-purchase their agreed ‘affordable gambling limit’ and will then be given a Safe Gambling System debit card which they can subsequently use to fund their various accounts at all online casinos accepting the SGS debit card.

SGS has confirmed that in order to be eligible players will be required to agree they will only use their SGS account funds in order to gamble online in addition to not funding their online gambling by any other source. As soon as registered players have reached their pre-agreed gambling limit for an agreed period SGS will refuse to accept any more funds from the player for that budget period. At this point players will need to wait for the beginning of the next specified budget period before being allowed to once more gamble.

The second such service is provided by ImpulsePay, a new age verification service – something that has become an issue in a number of countries, most recently in Canada. Online casinos would need to add the ImpulsePay ‘Buy Now’ button on their web site and the gambler would need to click on the button and then enter their cell phone number. They would subsequently be sent a secure individual PIN via SMS that they would have to enter at their chosen casino website. This would inform the online casino whether or not the cell phone number in question was registered to someone aged 18 or over.

The second version of Unibet’s web site was launched in 2001 and was subsequently translated into 12 languages and now boasts customers in over 50 countries. In 2003, the updated company website was launched featuring the company’s new products such as live betting as well as online casino products.

Unibet has subsequently expanded and has more than 4 million customers worldwide in more than 150 countries. As a result of such constant and stable growth patterns, Unibet has enjoyed a remarkable last year, and it reported an excellent 67% year-on-year after-tax profit increases for the year 2009. Before tax profits for the final quarter of last year stood at £8.7 million, which represented a remarkable recovery from losses of £300,000 in 2008.

Unibet’s CEO, Petter Nylander, was understandably upbeat in the wake of the company’s profit figures and pointed to strong customer support for the brand as well as the company’s successful sport book and risk management services to external customers as the driving factors behind their success. “It represents another all-time high for the company, with a high winnings margin and gross winning revenue resulting in a particularly strong fourth quarter of 2009,” Mr. Nylander said.

He also pointed to the company’s successful participation in the global sports book market. Additionally, the company, also during the fourth quarter, made an early sale and redemption of a Euro bond it held and anticipated savings of between 4-5 million Euros in costs compared to what would have happened had the company held the bond through to maturity.
