Washington Gaming Regulation

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

The Washington Gaming Commission oversees all authorized gaming in the state. The commission is made up of nine members. Five are appointed by the Governor to six year terms. These appointees are subject to the advice and consent of the Senate. There are also four ex-officio members, two each from the Senate and the House. The commission is an autonomous agency.

Washington, like California, has cardrooms. The significant difference is that cardrooms can only be ancillary businesses designed to support a main business of a restaurant, bar or tavern. The profitability is also strictly limited by statutory limitation on the charges. Until recently the club could only charge $3 per half hour per seat. A recent change in law allowed this to be raised.

The Gaming Commission also has responsibility for other gambling. These include sports pools, charitable gaming, amusement games and pull-tabs. There are a large number of tribal casinos within the state that are under the oversight of the commission.

The state does not tax the card clubs. However they can be taxed by localities.

The Washington Gaming Commission is large by California standards. They have about 135 staff people. They have an ongoing and open process of negotiating compacts with the Indian tribes.

Buy Casino Gambling Ship

Friday, June 8th, 2007

Look, the only thing we have been talking here was online gambling staff. Let us take a little brake for a while.

If you think of owning your own casino, you can BUY A CASINO SHIP!!! Why not?

Don’t know where to get it? No problems, I got one for sale… well. almost for sale:

John Connelly’s President Casinos Inc. is in discussions to sell its St. Louis gambling vessel, the Admiral, according to an individual close to the deal.

Best known here as the patriarch of the Gateway Clipper Fleet, Mr. Connelly owns about a third of the publicly traded, St. Louis-based President Casinos.

The Casino Queen has operated on the East St. Louis (Illinois) riverfront since 1993, across the Mississippi River from St. Louis.

Mr. Connelly said he would sell the Admiral for $175 million and “not a penny less. The boat is well worth that.”-wohhhhh no. online casino results much cheaper!!!! But of course it is not so luxurous.

Few casino boats pictures:

Casino Software Development Methods

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

What methodology is the best to design a good working casino software?

There are plenty of them. Agile methods has recently become very popular. Why?

Agile software development is a conceptual framework for undertaking software engineering projects that embraces and promotes evolutionary change throughout the entire life-cycle of the project. Agile methods emphasize realtime communication, preferably face-to-face, over written documents.

Agile methods are adaptive rather than predictive. Engineering methods tend to try to plan out a large part of the software process in great detail for a long span of time, this works well until things change. So their nature is to resist change. The agile methods, however, welcome change. They try to be processes that adapt and thrive on change, even to the point of changing themselves. (more…)
