Game Review: Wii Sports Resort
My shoulder hurts. It’s probably the number one reason why I find william hill online to be one of the more realistic sports games I’ve ever played. The pain I feel in my shoulder is similar to the pain I experience after a round of frolf. Is that sad? Disc golf is just one of the two dozen plus games offered on Wii Sports Resort. There’s bowling, golf, ping pong, archery, canoeing, water skiing, and more. And most of the games offer multiple variations. The key to the game is the Wii Motion plus. It’s a piece of hardware that connects to the bottom of the traditional remote. It’s probably what the Wii was supposed to be when it was initially released, but the technology wasn’t there yet. Now, instead of just tracking motion up and down and left and right, the game can sense when you turn your wrist. This makes games like frolf and bowling and ping pong just about as realistic as they get. If you’ve got a Wii, I’d suggest you get this game. But if you do, be sure to the get the new version of the game that comes with the second Wii Motion Plus. For someone reason, the first release of the game included just one, which didn’t make much sense. You can order the new version on Amazon for about 70 bucks. It’s worth it. And my next Wii purchase? I’d expect it to be the New Super Mario Bros. I’ll let you know how that game plays as soon as I get my hands on it!

After Black Friday Full Tilt saw their business devastated with the loss of their American market. After making a deal with the US Department of Justice (DoJ) where they agreed to pay back their former clients in the US Full Tilt reneged claiming not to have the money. This led to them having problems with the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) leading to their poker license being suspended and a hearing is just around the corner to find out whether their license will be renewed by the AGCC. That hearing will take place on the 19th of September and it is highly unlikely that there will even be a viable company for the license to be granted to, should the AGCC move in favour.In this train wreck of a case things have gone from bad to worse, the case on the 19th is generally presumed to be the tipping point. The lawyer for Full Tilt and the several companies who run the site has been Jeff Ifrah and his associates until now, though there has been a growing amount of rumours as to whether he continues to represent the firm which in turn has led to speculation as to whether there is any money left in the company to pay them with. After releasing a statement on their finances in August the site claimed that they had been the victims of a massive financial fraud to the tune of $42 million by one of their payment processors. They also claimed that seizures by the DoJ accounted for over $115 million.This explanation satisfied few in the industry amongst players and pundits alike who reckon that hundreds of millions of dollars have been made by the site over the years of its operation. That Full Tilt Poker currently has no money is not in dispute but what happened to all of the money is a question that has yet to be answered to the satisfaction of players who have yet to come to terms with the loss of all their money. The hearing on the 19th is stated as being public but after the hearing, held in July which was also publicised as public was quickly held behind closed doors there is little faith that the 19th of September will shed any more light on the situation.

Funny post on the Alosta Rounders site some guy named Bert got MANHANDLED for 100 and had to hand over signed money to Alosta Rounders member Tim J. The Alosta Rounders are probably the most famous western-European poker collective, and they obviously dont need the 100. Therefor, Tim J. decided to use the money. as interior decoration. Ha!

by Tuesday,23 Aug 2011 In the wake of Black Friday Full Tilt Poker have slid further and further down the totem pole Full Tilt Poker have paid off the 250,000 that was outstanding for their online gaming license to the regulator the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC). This means that the poker website could now be a more attractive prospect for investment, or at least that was the thinking behind the AGCCs decision to allow them to continue negotiations with a consortium of European businessmen who are interested in buying the crippled poker giant. The roots of Full Tilt Pokers demise lie in the events that occurred on April 15th 2011 also known as Black Friday. On this day the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) swooped down the top three online poker companies in the world and ejected them from the US market by freezing their bank accounts and their URLs preventing them from operating in the United States. In the wake of these measures the poker firms, Full Tilt, Poker Stars and Absolute Poker were forced to comply with the demands of the DOJ which included repaying their American clients all of the money that they had in their accounts and not marketing themselves in the US. In contravention of this deal Full Tilt Poker failed to pay back their former clients in the US and ended up having their gaming license suspended by the AGCC as a result. The public hearing in the swanky Belgravia neighbourhood of London was supposed to be a full and frank discussion of the issues affecting Full Tilt Poker but instead turned into a farce when the hearing was put behind closed doors after a request by the full Tilt lawyer. As things stand the website has until September to secure a bid for their site from this European consortium behind closed doors. What has really made Full Tilt Poker a source of ire for the online gaming community is that when the AGCC suspended their license they stopped trading and ensured that every single player was unable to gain access to their money wherever in the world they were located, regardless of the laws of their country. Other poker rooms, such as William Hill Poker have been seeing a lot of new players coming to them since the collapse of Full Tilt Poker with the William Hill brand proving a strong incentive to players looking for a safe place to put their money while they play poker.

by Thursday,8 Sep 2011 The WPT are to hold 5 additional tournaments in the 2011/12 season which are to be screened by Fox Sports The best poker tour in the world just got even better with the addition of five new tournaments to each season. The World Poker Tour (WPT) will now be stopping at two additional cities in the USA and another three in Europe. Jacksonville, Florida and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania are the two new tournaments being held in the US with Malta, Prague in the Czech Republic and Ireland playing host to the new tournaments on the massive poker tour. Season X of the WPT kicked off with the WPT Spain, held in Barcelona in May and has been moving from strength to strength ever since. The extra tournaments reflect just how popular the WPT has become all around the world. Since former US online poker professionals have been moving away from the USA in order to continue to practise their trade the extra stops will make it that much easier for the pros to make it to at least one or two of the tournaments over the course of the season. Since online poker was effectively taken away from US players interest in being able to watch the pro players at work has exploded with various television networks cashing in on the demand to watch high stakes poker. The WPT has been no exception to this with Fox Sports Net (FSN) showing the tournaments in their entirety and will be broadcast from the start of 2012. As well as the tournaments being screened there will also be two, one hour specials looking behind the scenes of the WPT and poker in general. This will compete with ESPNs coverage of the final table of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) as well as the poker covered by other television networks. Along with the new tournaments the WPT have also announced the formation of a Champions club which will afford special perks to all players who have won a WPT event. These perks include a personal concierge as well as VIP treatment at all WPT events. On top of this there is also a WPT champions cup engraved with the name of every WPT champion as well as a crystal trophy for the WPT player of the year. The first of these crystal trophies is to be awarded to Andy Frankenberger the season IX player of the year.

Residents in the north end of Broward County have had to travel to Hollywood in recent years if they wanted to experience the pleasures of Vegas-style casinos. The Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood is the closest thing that South Floridians have to a Las Vegas casino.That was before the Seminoles spent $150 million to upgrade their Coconut Creek casino. The upgrades were finally completed this past week and the Seminoles are celebrating the achievement in grand style with an opening that included a visit from Foreigner and Ty Pennington.The Extreme Makeover host was on hand to usher in a new era of gambling in South Florida. Gone are the old, worn down slot machines that helped open the Creek casino, replaced with the latest in slot technology. The slots in the casino now are all linked not only to other slots in the Creek casino, but in Seminole casinos throughout the state. It has created an atmosphere of big winner hopefuls.”I have come here since the casino opened,” said Larry Newstreet. “I never thought I’d see the day that this casino rivals Las Vegas, but outside of lacking a hotel, this casino now has it all. I’m excited for the new restaurants, slots, and the fun atmosphere that has been created.”The past few years have seen the Coconut Creek casino go from a small slot parlor, to a world-class gaming facility. The Seminoles are considering their next project, which would be to build a hotel similar to the one they have at their Hollywood casino.The entertainment has been upgraded at the casino as well. Before the expansion, the casino relied mostly on local acts, bringing in national acts only on a rare celebration occasion. Already in the first week since the casino was upgraded, Foreigner and Louie Anderson.One of the biggest additions to the casino has been the Stax, a large poker room that is now home to major tournaments and round the clock cash games. Poker players have swamped to the casino to try their skills against other top players in the area. February 4, 2012Posted By April GardnerStaff Editor, CasinoGamblingWeb.comSubmit News!
