The Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas will host a new “World Series of Slots” event which offers a prize pool of over $250,000. The event, which will take place on the 16th until the 18th of April this year, is set to attract slots players from across the globe.

While the entry fee, which totals in at $599, is notably more expensive than online slots tournament buy-ins, this does include a $100 food and drink coupon, as well as breakfasts. The top prize on offer is $100,000, but there are also prizes for 349 other players.

To take part, all you have to do is call 800-777-5687 or visit www.GoldenNugget.com. Alternatively, if you’d like to take part in free slots tournaments, we recommend you visit JackpotCity Casino.

A recent study has found that 58% of residents surveyed in Massachusetts supported plans to introduce slots at race tracks – turning them into ‘racinos’ – as well as opening casinos. Clyde Barrow, who conducted the survey, suggested that “public support for expanded gaming remains strong because most people have concluded that the fiscal and economic benefits of expanded gaming outweigh any potential negative social impacts”. However, 50% of those surveyed also suggested that resort casinos and slot machines may increase gambling addiction in the state.

The report has been criticised by anti-slots groups, who suggest that the survey does not take into account the costs involved with setting up casinos. However, others have noted that such costs will be off-set by later state revenue and the amount of jobs a new casino industry in would bring to Massachusetts.

Dublin City Council has considered banning slot machines from the city, after it was revealed betting shops were keen to offer video gambling machines in their stores. In a move similar to the prohibition period in the United States, as well as the more recent efforts of Russia to ban casino gambling, Dublin council members suggested they believe slots should be “prohibited”. The proposed legislation was agreed on by “cross-party subgroup” members of the council and will be discussed at the upcoming Dublin City Joint Policing Committee.

Following the fall out between Aqueduct Entertainment Group (AEG) and New York’s state lottery division, Governor David Paterson has suggested lawmakers need to pick a new company to award the lucrative New York slots and casino contract to. The legislation concerns a proposed casino at the Aqueduct Racetrack and Paterson, who has come under fire for his involvement in the decision to initially award AEG the casino contract, has suggested that the new “slot machine vendor” should be chosen in an “apolitical manner”.

AEG lost the casino contract late last week, when it was revealed their investors had failed to provide state lottery officials with adequate financial records. At one point, AEG counted the likes of Jay-Z and Reverend Floyd Flake as investors, until both walked away from the company just days before AEG lost the contract. When the casino racetrack proposal was initially drawn up, both MGM and Wynn Resorts expressed interest in supplying the racetrack with a casino.
