A player has won almost $183,000 at Rivers Casino on a slot machine.

The unnamed male casino guest received a jackpot pay-out of $182,966 on the $1 Quick Hit Platinum slot machine and is the largest winner in the Rivers Casino history.

Quick Hit Platinum game is a Vegas-style slot with five columns and three lines, if a certain number of logos are hit, the player wins the progressive jackpot - which can add up significantly.

"It is so exciting to see our guests set records like this one," said Craig Clark, Rivers Casino general manager.

He added: "The entire casino erupts when we have a big winner - our team members and other guests join in the celebration. Congratulations!"

Opened in August 2009, Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh claims to have awarded more than $380 million in jackpots - with a jackpot defined as a win of $1,200 or more.

The share price of Cambodian casino owner Entertainment Gaming Asia has fallen below the minimum requirement of the Nasdaq Stock Market, threatening the gaming company’s US listing, according to a statement posted on EGA’s website last week.

EGA has been given 180 days – until October 14 – to lift its share price from $0.87 to the Nasdaq’s minimum of $1 and must hold that price for at least 10 consecutive days, according to the April 23 announcement. If, however, the company fails to reach the target within this period, a second 180-day grace period may be granted before EGA’s stock could be delisted from the exchange.

“The company will work to regain listing compliance and believes that it has options available to ensure continued listing on Nasdaq,” reads the announcement from the casino developer owned by Melco Group, a Macau gaming giant.

“Management and the board of directors are evaluating these options to determine the optimal course of action.”

At market close on Friday in US the firm’s price sat at $0.82.

EGA operates two Dreamworld-branded casinos on Cambodia’s border with Thailand. The company’s Pailin province operation – valued at $2.5 million – houses some 26 gaming tables and 52 electronic gambling machines (EGMs).

In Poipet, EGA operates a gaming floor with 300 EGMs.

The firm also supplies 670 EGMs to NagaWorld, the country’s largest gaming operator.

The Nasdaq noncompliance notice is the latest in a string of bad results for the gaming company after recording a 9 per cent revenue slump from $26.8 million in 2012 to $24.3 million in 2013, according to the firm’s 2013 annual report, which notes that further losses are expected.

“For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $5.2 million and may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future,” EGA’s annual report says.

To add to the company’s woes, the annual report states that EGA’s NagaWorld contract expires in 2016 and “there can be no assurances that we will be able to renew the contract under similar conditions, if at all”.

In January, EGA announced it was walking away from its Pailin casino operation, which opened in May 2012. The firm wrote off its initial $2.5 million investment in the venture, citing a failure to lure gamers from across the Thai border.

Staff at EGA yesterday confirmed the company was still overseeing operations in Pailin. However, they declined to provide any further details on the struggling casino.

Michael Ting, gaming analyst with Hong Kong-based CIMB, said NagaWorld’s monopoly on the Phnom Penh gaming sector makes it difficult for smaller-scale operations to compete, especially in luring high-roller clientele.

“Going forward, Cambodia’s border casinos’ piece of the pie might begin to decrease unless they start to attract higher-spending clients. So far the attraction hasn’t shown,” he said, adding that a lack of information from casinos in Cambodia’s border towns makes it difficult to asses the situation.

“In regards to the border casinos, if Vietnam or Thailand do establish a gaming market, that will certainly affect their gamer numbers and profits.”

NagaWorld holds a monopoly agreement as the only gaming operator allowed within 322 kilometres (200 miles) of Phnom Penh until 2035.

EGA and Melco Group did not respond to requests for comment.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A woman who prosecutors say left her 4-year-old daughter in a car for hours while she gambled at a casino has been sentenced to 5 days in jail.

Twenty-five-year old Alicia Brown of Baltimore pleaded guilty on Thursday to reckless endangerment. In addition to jail time, an Anne Arundel County Circuit judge ordered her to serve three years of probation and to stay out of casinos and gaming facilities.

Authorities say police were called to a parking garage at Maryland Live! Casino in Hanover on Dec. 31 for a child left unattended in a car.

Prosecutors say security video showed the car entering the garage about 10 a.m. The child was found about 6:30 p.m.

Presidential hopeful MK Binyamin Ben-Eliezer (Labor) frequented casinos in London, the “Uvda” program hosted by journalist Ilana Dayan and which airs on Channel 2 revealed on Wednesday.

According to an investigative report conducted by the program’s team, Ben-Eliezer would frequent “exclusive and discreet” clubs and did so up until 2002, when he was serving as a top government minister.

The investigative reporting found that Ben-Eliezer had membership cards for five different casinos including exclusive clubs such as 50 St. James, Palm Beach Casino and Crockfords. A membership card for these establishments costs around £1,000.

When initially asked about his visits to the casinos, Ben-Eliezer denied they had ever taken place. When he was later asked about a specific casino, he reportedly admitted that he had visited it once but just to eat dinner.

When confronted with membership cards that were found from the various casinos bearing his name and personal details, Ben-Eliezer he admit to visiting these casinos, but insisted had never engaged in gambling.

Responding to the report, Ben-Eliezer’s media advisor told the program, “Ben-Eliezer has a large family in London, and visiting casino restaurants is a legitimate pastime. Entry to such a restaurant requires issuing a membership card. Ben-Eliezer did not engage in gambling when visiting a casino.”

The report on Ben-Eliezer is the latest twist in what has been a stormy race for Israel’s president.

It follows allegations of sexual harassment against presidential candidate, Minister Silvan Shalom of the Likud party.

The charges began with a woman who claimed to have been harassed 15 years ago by the minister when she worked in his office; Shalom denied knowing the woman. The file was later closed given that the statute of limitations had expired on the case.

Critics assert that the police decision to try Shalom on a case that obviously was no longer valid given its 15-year-old age was meant to bring forward other complainants. The original complaint was made somewhat suspicious given that it was submitted a week after Shalom began submitting his candidacy for president.

In addition to Ben-Eliezer and Shalom, MK Reuven Rivlin (Likud) has expressed interest in running as well, and is the most popular candidate among the Israeli public, as recent polls suggested.

Another candidate is former Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzik, who has begun to collect signatures from MKs and, according to one report, may be endorsed by Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman if Shalom withdraws from the race over the allegations against him.

Other candidates in the presidential election include Nobel Laureate Professor Daniel Shechtman, who recently announced his candidacy, as well as former Supreme Court Justice Dalia Dorner, president of the Israeli Press Council.

MK Meir Sheetrit (Hatnua) also threw his hat in the ring recently and has been endorsed by his party.

The industry specialists at Super Casino have taken a look into a study that claims that online gaming makes players more social.

As online gaming becomes increasingly more popular, more research is being conducted into the social tendencies of players. One such study was recently undertaken by Nicholas Taylor, an assistant professor of communication. Observing and interviewing players in a range of controlled settings as well as naturalistic settings such as internet cafes and conventions, Taylor made a number of annotations. He found that it was common for these players to meet many people through these games whom they will never likely meet in person, yet despite this they treat them no differently to their “real life” friends. He also noted that it was not unusual for these people to have game play on simply as background noise.

Taylor also remarked “It’s a common stereotype that we deal with, that if a player spends a lot of time in game, somehow that detracts from their ability to socialize in real life and detracts from their ability to have healthy relationships which, of course, isn’t true”.

Specialising in live TV casino games, whilst also providing a collection of online blackjack, roulette, slots and video poker games, Super Casino are expects in blending online and offline gaming. A representative from the firm shares their thoughts on the matter.

“We live in a technology focused world where the barriers between online and offline interactions are becoming increasingly blurred. Online gaming provides many with the opportunity to meet people from across the globe whom they have something in common with. What could be unsociable about that?”

With live roulette games broadcast on Channel 5 and Sky channel 862, Super Casino is the longest running and most popular online TV casino in the world. Famous for providing a realistic gaming experience online, Supercasino.com offers games to suit a variety of tastes, including roulette, blackjack, card games, table and video poker as well as a selection of Super Casino slot games and arcade games.

The next GTA V DLC release looks like it might finally contain casinos and, hopefully, casino heists. Well, let's put it this way. If the next GTA V DLC introduces casinos, as the leak below seems to indicate, then there's nothing stopping us from robbing that casino any way we can, right? And it seems only natural that if Rockstar is going to give us some GTA V DLC heists then a casino would be the flashiest, freshest setting they could find. There were plenty of fun heists in the main game, but who wants to rob another bank or military warehouse? Let us storm a casino 'Ocean's 11' style and we'll happily pay $5, $10 or $20 for GTA V DLC. And, according to YouTube personality ECB2, there are new references to casino-favorite roulette hidden in the GTA V source code.
