Affleck has admitted to previous struggles with alcoholism and addiction and he reportedly relapsed after a 2013 skiing injury led him to self-medicate.

An anonymous source says that Ben's wife, Jennifer Garner, helps him maintain appearances, but when he attends Hollywood functions by himself, Ben allegedly gets "messy" drunk.

The insider says: "There have been times lately where he he's been so drunk he's the dude passed out on the couch after everyone else has gone home. Either that, or he's the dude who's all over the tall, attractive model type."

Those closest to Ben are rumored to be worried by last weekend's incident, as in the past, Affleck's gambling has increased as his drinking worsened.

In the week leading up to his admission to a Malibu rehab center in 2001, the actor and Oscar-winning director reportedly won $800,000 gambling at the same casino he was kicked out of on Saturday.

Ben has stated in the past that he began drinking heavily while still in his teens. His father is a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for over 20 years.

Q

Betfair has always been the type of site I gravitate to when I'm looking for an all-round online gambling experience. This site incorporates its iconic betting exchange product, as well as an unbeatable online casino when it comes to games and special offers.

It doesn't hurt, of course, that Betfair is one of the UK's most trusted names and promises players a safe and secure gaming platform off which to play.

Just when you thought things couldn't get any better at Betfair, along comes the news that the site is offering UK players the chance to use cash to pay for their online betting entertainment, thanks to a new deal between the group and the online cash payments provider, Ukash.

I was thrilled to hear on Friday that Betfair has signed up with Ukash to enable players to buy vouchers and fund their accounts with them.

Paying with Ukash at Betfair

If you haven't yet heard of Ukash, it's time that you did. The online cash payment provider essentially allows you to use cash to shop and play online in a safe and secure manner. This is the perfect solution for players who don't have a debit or credit card, or don't want to enter their personal information to pay online.

Betfair confirmed that all customers who pass strict verification processes will, from now on, be able to make cash deposits into their accounts using Ukash vouchers.

These vouchers can be bought from over 50,000 sale points in the United Kingdom - which means that there is absolutely no reason for missing out on this great way to play and pay.

Even better, you can use Ukash to withdraw your winnings in cash.

Betfair: Innovative and Respected

It's not only players (like me!) who are thrilled about the deal between Betfair and Ukash. The groups themselves expressed their delight in a join statement recently.

According to the CEO of Ukash, Betfair was the world's first successful betting exchange and is a company "respected for its innovation and values".

"They are a great British success story and this makes our cooperation even more satisfying," he said.

Also commenting was the group operations director of Betfair, Ian Chuter, who reaffirmed that Ukash is a secure and easy method of deposit and withdrawing, and supports the group's wider, on-going aim of making it easier for customer to transact with Betfair.

SPARKS, Nev. (MyNews4.com & KRNV) -- The Vegas-based company that owns Rail City Casino in Sparks says its system for processing credit and debit card information has been hacked.

James Prendergast, outside council for Affinity Gaming -- the company in question -- told News 4 today that all company locations are affected.

Prendergast also said the company does not know when the hacking began, but does know that data was compromised until April 23 of this year.

A report on the breach is expected by month's end.

LAS VEGAS >> Slot machines are now ringing at the boutique hotel replacing Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.

The Cromwell celebrated its soft opening Monday evening by welcoming guests into a 40,000-square-foot casino featuring 434 slot machines and 66 table games.

The hotel's 188 rooms and suites are not open to the public until May 21, but the gambling area, the Interlude cocktail lounge and the Curios retail shop are open for business.

Caesars Entertainment spent $185 million to transform the Old West-style Bill's casino into The Cromwell, adding hardwood floors, black and white tile shower walls, and plush seating to the hotel rooms.

The Cromwell will also include a restaurant by celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis, a rooftop pool and Drai's day and nightclubs.

LOS ANGELES, CA -- InvoTech Systems, Inc. announced Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort implemented InvoTech's UHF-RFID Uniform Management System to automate uniform tracking, accounting, and reporting for 20,000 newly designed uniforms. Soaring Eagle also installed InvoTech in the property's uniform distribution center to establish 100% accountability and reduce replacement expenses. The InvoTech Uniform System interfaces with the White Conveyors U-Pick-It System to automatically deliver uniforms to staff.

Centralized system assigns and tracks specific uniforms for each staff member
"We recently fitted our staff of 3,500 with new uniforms that match the property's décor. We installed the InvoTech system to protect our investment," said Heidi L. Smith, uniform manager for Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort. "In the past each department handled its own uniforms. We expect substantial savings with InvoTech's automated, central uniform control. The system will reduce replacement costs by tracking each article and assigning specific uniforms to staff members. It will also help us operate more efficiently." Soaring Eagle previously managed its 20,000 uniforms manually.

InvoTech gives complete ROI payback in one year
"Properties that implement InvoTech's UHF-RFID Uniform, Linen, and Laundry systems report a complete ROI payback in about one year," said Oswald Lares, director of sales for InvoTech Systems. "The Uniform System eliminates 100% of unaccounted losses associated with employees and daily laundry activity. InvoTech automates recordkeeping to eliminate overcharges from outside laundries. The system also cuts annual purchases 5% or more and reduces laundry expenses 3 to 5% and delivers up to 20% greater labor productivity."

Waterproof UHF-RFID tags on every garment verify accountability
Soaring Eagle ordered new uniforms for all departments from multiple vendors. "Waterproof UHF-RFID tags were attached to each uniform. Our lead vendor did this before the uniforms were delivered to simplify the uniform management process," Smith said. "The pre-tagged uniforms were assigned to each staff member in the InvoTech system to track accountability and transfer responsibility. I anticipate the secure, verifiable accountability will save us a great deal."

Smith explained Soaring Eagle is located in a college town and has many students on staff. "Many of our students are family members with the same last name. InvoTech quickly identifies which family member has each uniform to eliminate the possibility of confusion. If one changes a job assignment or brings us a damaged garment, we can track accountability and inventory in real time."

Other InvoTech clients include MGM Resorts International, Hyatt Hotels, Marriott, Hilton Hotels, Universal Studios Florida, Wynn Resort Las Vegas and Macau, Madison Square Garden, MSR-FSR Laundry, Empire State Building, Loews Hotels, Mandarin Oriental, and other leading companies. InvoTech's international customers include the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel; MGM Grand Macau; Four Seasons Macau; Grand Hyatt Shanghai, China; Burswood Entertainment Complex, Australia; Sheraton Seoul, Korea; Resorts World Sentosa Singapore; and Palace Resorts, Mexico.

A controversial Alabama gambling operator who boasts of his ties to Al Sharpton wants to open a $400 million resort casino at Stewart Airport — just 60 miles north of the Big Apple.
Luther “Nat” Winn, CEO of Greenetrack Inc., serves as a board member of Sharpton’s National Action Network.
“As a board member of the National Action Network, he continues to support the fight for justice and equality for all,” Greenetrack’s literature says of Winn, who was active in the civil rights movement.
Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange last month raided Greenetrack’s gambling parlor in Eutaw and other facilities in an ongoing legal dispute on whether its ”electronic bingo” games were legal. Winn insists Greenetrack is following the law.
Greenetrack — which currently operates one gambling parlor and racetrack in Alabama — would have to find financing for what would be the largest project it has ever undertaken: an 80,000-square-foot casino, a 350-bed hotel, two restaurants, a convention center, and an entertainment space for concerts.
Greenetrack has strong New York political connections. Charlie King, a former executive director at both Sharpton’s NAN and the state Democratic Party, is a Greenetrack lobbyist. Juanita Scarlett, a member of Al D’Amato’s Park Strategies firm who used to work for Mario Cuomo and Eliot Spitzer, is the group’s publicist.
For his part, Sharpton, in a recent Post interview, insisted he had nothing to do with Winn’s New York gambling venture and was not playing holy roller for a casino.
“I don’t know anything about that,” Sharpton said of Greenetrack’s casino bid. “They haven’t talked to me about it.”
The Town of Windsor in Orange County and Greenetrack are negotiating a 99-year lease agreement to develop the 140-acre site for a casino.
“We’re excited about the prospect of developing at Stewart Airport in Orange County. We believe Greenetrack’s model and history of spurring economic development in the communities that we serve, will go a long way to help New York’s economy,” Winn said.
Greenetrack said the resort casino would create 1,800 construction jobs and 2,500 permanent jobs.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Greenetrack to bring a premier casino operation to New Windsor,” said James Petro, executive director of the Orange County Industrial Development Authority. “We appreciate the substantial investment that Greenetrack is making in our town, and we’re committed to seeing this project through completion.”
Petro told The Post that the Greenetrack proposal is for real. “They told me they have investors. They’re not fooling around. They’re very professional,” he said.
Greenetrack must pay a $1 million non-refundable application fee by April 23. Should it pass muster with the New York Gaming Commission, it would have to pay a $70 million license fee to open a casino at Stewart.
Petro said as many as 50 people are working on the project for Greenetrack.
A new law approved by the Legislature and voters last year allows new Vegas-style casinos to open upstate, including in the Orange County/Catskills/Hudson Valley region.
