Thanks to new changes in online gambling and lotteries, now states are in charge of whether it is legal or not to gamble online and participate in lotteries. Now your home can become your very own casino. It is pretty remarkable to think about the amount of people already participating in online gambling, but think of how many more might be added to that number if it is made legal in states across the United States. Find out more about the new regulations in the video below.

New Gambling Regulations 2012

In 2009 the United States was the hands down global leader in gambling, but by 2014 that is expected to wane significantly.  Some factors could include the poor economy, bringing limited access to luxury gaming destinations to those who might be most attracted to gambling, and the fact that regulations on activities perceived to be immoral or possibly even illegal might clamp down on gambling in the country.  For more information, you might like to consult the infographic below. Here you will find predictions about many things concerning the expected trends in gambling in casinos, and online gambling as well.

So, if the President of the United States is willing to gamble away the future of America, why shouldn’t we just legalize gambling across the board and let the government start collecting tax revenues from the profits of casinos?  It makes about as much sense as anything that’s come out of the White House lately.  Here is an infographic that shows how much money stands to be made through legalization of gambling.  What do you think:  good idea, or risky venture?

Some ads currently in circulation and made by the California Online Poker Association seek to spread the idea that legalizing Web-based poker will help the state avoid deep budget cuts. The spots aired in the Sacramento area early this week, with state legislators less than a month from the deadline to act on bills this year fast approaching.  The spokesman for the association believes that online poker will immediately infuse California’s coffers with $250 million dollars, but promised billions in the future.

Commerce Casino, the Bicycle Club, Hollywood Park Casino and the operators of American Indian gaming facilities such as the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians are all backers of the bill. Still, other American Indian tribes have teamed with the California Tribal Business Alliance, which sent a letter yesterday requesting legislation be dropped for the year.

Before you plan a Bingo night, you should be aware that state laws governing the regulation of bingo exist.  You need to know what those laws are in your state, and how to avoid breaking them.  To be safe, you should limit your games to just those people you know very well, who will not mind playing for small change.  In this way, you won’t attract unnecessary attention from law enforcement.  Use the same common sense you would use when organizing your Poker nights and everything will be fine.

Okay, disclaimer said, let’s get on to how to plan a perfect Bingo night:

Snacks:  You are going to need to make some really great snack foods for a night of gaming.  Nachos are great for football, but when your guests have to keep putting their cheesy fingers all over your Bingo equipment, maybe something else would be a better choice.  Try some cut up fresh veggies such as carrots and celery, with a variety of cool dips.  Alternately, you might want to go with pretzels or some other non-messy snack food that is easy to handle without distracting players from the game.

Beverages:  If most of your guests are coming from a distance to play Bingo, it is probably a good idea not to serve alcohol.  The last thing you need is for someone to call you up hoping you’ll bail them out of jail after they just explained to the nice officer that, no, they didn’t realize they were speeding or intoxicated, and that they had just been at your house, gambling.  Ouch.  Maybe try serving cool and refreshing green tea with mint or a splash of lime instead.  Then again, if everyone walked over from the neighborhood, break out the brewskis!

Privacy:  When people visit your place for a night of small stakes fun, they need to feel that they can concentrate and will not be unduly distracted during game play.  This means keeping the dog in another room, making sure the kids are out for the night, and maybe even giving your wife a stack of Benjamins and the car keys.

There you go, Mr. Bingo.  Now, plan your party. May I suggest that after a great successful bingo night, curling up with some direct tv movies.

In some states in the USA, Kansas and Minnesota among these, lottery tickets that did not win prize payouts can be mailed in for a ‘last chance’ raffle of special prizes. Sometimes, employees of stores that sell lottery tickets collect the discarded lottery tickets and send them in.  This gives lottery ticket selling store employees a markedly unfair advantage in the second chance drawings.  While not lawfully fraudulent, this is at least a very ethically challenging practice.

There are several well known lottery scams that have originated on the Internet over the years.  People receive an email message of congratulations, instructing them to send certain personally identifying information or bank account numbers in order to collect their payments won in a lottery  that does not actually exist, or that does exist, but simply doesn’t contact people in this manner.  People should never give out money in advance to collect lottery winnings.  Winning means someone pays you, not the other way around.

Some people believe that winning the lottery involves skills that can be learned and applied to winning.  The lottery is all about chance.  Certainly, there are mathematical statistics than can improve one’s chances of winning — but one of the world’s most popular lottery scams involves individuals or companies selling “secret formulas” for winning lottery games.  There is no sure fire way to win a lottery of any kind.  It is all based on chance.

So if you are planning to play lottery games, read up on your home security tips, and be safe and educated about it.  If something sounds too good to be true, then it is too good to be true.  Don’t fall for lottery scams.  Rather, just buy your tickets and take your chances with the rest of us.
