Well, I hope your Halloween wasn't too eventful. Mine was very mellow since there
are no "trick or treaters" in Germany. What a shame since I bought some Halloween
candy when I was in the States. You know, the Smarties, Starbursts, and those funky
triangular shaped orange, white, and yellow thing-candies. But I did watch a scary
movie "Sleepy Hollow" (a decapitators love fest), carve a pumpkin, and bake and eat the
seeds. Mmmmmm.
And they do celebrate All Saint's Day, which is a holiday here (Bavaria) and that's why
there was no newsletter yesterday. And it was my little boy's first birthday, so we were
forced to eat all day and play with visiting toddlers (and relatives).
And if you haven't had a chance to check out my spooky Halloween show, well it's still
up at http://www.casinogazette.com/fastt/arcbryan.php3

And finally, the weekend is upon us and the weather is forcing us indoors (at least in
the Northern Hemisphere) with the cold and longer hours of darkness. So many of us
log in more hours in front of our computer screens (or TVs) and are adept to spending
more time visiting online casinos, if that's your bag, man. So, use your time wisely
and check out all the things that this newsletter or Casinomeister has to offer.
Informatively yours,
Bryan

Are you into Screenwriting? Second-act.com is where you want to be... I know, this has nothing to do with online casinos, but if you enjoy
Casinomeister, you'll enjoy this site as well since this is another
site that I administrate (?). There is a forum for film/writing discussion that
is virtually virgin territory (this site was recently launched!). And
there is even a "Who Wants to be a Screenwriter?" contest (much
like Casinomeister's, gasp!) where you can win screenwriting
software!!! Check it out:
So..."Who wants to be a Casinomeister?" Who wants to win $200 bucks??
Colosseum Casino is sponsoring this month's contest with a $200 grand prize!
The game is just like the Millionaire show but no million $$ (sorry) but it's a lot
of fun. Test your gaming knowledge and use your jokers wisely (there are a
few drinking questions, so be careful!) You can play once a day once the
stats are reset. (I reset the stats daily early in the morning Central European
time) . Every time you play, there are different questions, and of course
different answers. So hurry! This month's contest is going strong: http://www.casinomeister.com/whowants.html

$200 credited to their casino account!! Woo hoo!!
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ 2. And now for the humor......
Four lessons of management: (ed. warning: there's some naughty
language used here!)
LESSON NUMBER ONE
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit saw
the crow, and asked, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day
long?" The crow answered, "Sure, why not?" So, the rabbit sat on the
ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared,
jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Management Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be
sitting very, very high up.
LESSON NUMBER TWO A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get
to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the
energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.
"They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and
found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of
the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second
branch. Finally after a fortnight, there he was, proudly perched at the
top of the tree, where he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out
of the tree.
Management Lesson: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't
keep you there.
LESSON NUMBER THREE When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be boss. The
brain said, "I should be boss because I control the whole body's
responses and functions." The feet said, "We should be boss as we carry the brain
about and get him to where he wants to go." The hands said, "We should
be the boss because we do all the work and earn all the money." And so it
went on and on, with the heart, the lungs and the eyes, until finally the
asshole spoke up. All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole
being the boss. So the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and
refused to work. Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands
clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain
fevered. Eventually they all decided that the asshole should be the
boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work
while the boss just sat and passed out the shit!
Management Lesson: You don't need brains to be a boss - any asshole
will do.
LESSON NUMBER FOUR
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the
bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying
there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird
lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was.
The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and
soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and
came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird
under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Management Lessons:
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut.

I think that spectators generally always seem to have the
wisdom of hindsight.
Casinos come and go, and they can decline in the process.
In other words a casino may pass a thorough and informed OPA
scrutiny with flags flying but later go off the boil. When
that happens the more reliable warning signs are probably in
formal complaints against a particular operation from
members, and I know of cases where the OPA has not hesitated
to first warn and then expel offending casinos (players,
too) which no longer meet the standards.
When a casino joins the OPA it is publicized to the
membership and they have at that stage an opportunity to
protest if they feel for sound and factual reasons that
accepting that specific operation is a mistake. In my
experience there have been few if any such objections. To
me, that shows either total disinterest (I would hope not)
or an acceptance that the OPA committee approval is
appropriate.
I believe you overstate your case against the OPA and I do
not think your calls for a restructuring are justified. I
did not take your words out of context - that is exactly
what you said and I take issue with it.

(Casinomeister's Got2bet industry news is a summary of the week's
happenings presented by the breaking news company infopowa@intekom.co.za )
IGC CRITICISED OVER GSS But will they do anything about it?
Gambling Software Systems and the manner in which they conduct business has
been a cause celebre in the industry for some time, but this month it spilled over
and tainted the Interactive Gaming Council, too. The highly respected Gamemasteronline
site took IGC to task for their apparent disinterest in GSS's practices after he reported
the results of extensive and thorough research and evaluation into the GSS games.
That research produced irrefutable proof that Gamblingsoftware.com created software
that allows their casinos to offer Video Poker games that can be “rigged”. At the same
time, all of these casinos have the following statement on their Websites:
The odds offered at our casino are equal to what one would
find in the world's finest casinos: be it Las Vegas, Monte
Carlo, Atlantic City, or Macao....Additionally, we make available to
you the odds and pay out percentages of each game. Just ask. We guarantee that all of our games keep within the rules of
play as established by the Nevada Gaming Commission.
The Gamemaster provided proof that on the rigged games these casinos do
NOT “keep within the rules of play as established by the Nevada Gaming Commission.”
Gamemaster pointed out to the IGC that that is clearly a false and misleading statement.
Because GSS is a member of the Interactive Gaming Council (IGC), it should be honouring
one of the sections in the IGC’s Code of Conduct which deals specifically with truth in
advertising.
There has apparently been no indication that GSS has either changed its advertising or its
dishonest practice on this issue, and that unfortunately will not burnish the image of the IGC.
