The ruling also said a Franklin Circuit Court judge cannot hold further hearings on the issue. “This is a tremendous victory for Internet freedom and the rights of Kentucky residents who enjoy playing online poker,” said John Pappas, executive director of the Poker Players Alliance, in a statement. It has been estimated that about 13,000 Kentuckians play the online casinos. Jay Blanton, a spokesman for Gov. Steve Beshear, said the state did not receive the ruling until late Tuesday. “We want to take some time to review it.

Let me continue with the exciting history of the Bingo game.

To refresh you memory about the how the story began I will remind you that contemporary Bingo is a straight descendant of Italian Lotteries, played as long as in 1530s.

Long after it was brought to the US from Germany in a form of game played with the help of carton cards and beans. It was called Beano for that reason.

Lowe by name, but also brought him fame and fortune.

Allow me telling you more details about this magic transformation of an unpretentious Beano game into a very popular and highly profitable game of Bingo. Read the rest of this entry »

Did you know that contemporary Bingo game descends from the Italian National Lottery Lo Giuoco del Lotto d’Italia, that was first organized in 1530? Today the Italian State lottery is indispensable to the government’s budget, with a yearly contribution in excess of 75 million dollars.

One night he was returning back home tired and exhausted, when he decided to drive on to Jacksonville, Georgia in order to start his business appointments at the earliest.
