Deception: These guys have deceived the portal master of RichChicken.com into thinking they are a group of legitimate casinos. Rich Chicken gave LucknRollcasino.com the "coveted" Golden Egg award. Why? The reason: "Luck N Roll offers a large selection of progressive games with combined jackpots totaling over $1 MILLION DOLLARS and growing. You can choose from the following slots: Break the Bank, Money Mint and Greased Lightnin', as well as Keno, all offering a chance at over a quarter of a million dollars in jackpot take!" Did Richchicken.com ask this casino where this "$1 MILLION DOLLARS" was supposed to be coming from? No, probably not. Just put the ad-copy up and hope people will click through the banners and lose their money. One persons deception is another persons ad copy. But hey, it's only a game.
And it's you my dear reader that they're playing games with - playing games with trust, with being truthful. Take a look at casino1x2.com where they boast "Payout Percentage reviewed by B.I.A.A." Which according to them stands for the "Bauhaus Internet Audit Assurance (B.I.A.A.)".
Stuff like this begs me to dig deeper, so I checked them out. There is no website for b-iaa.com, merely a generic "coming soon" page from their server. I did some simple searches at Google for "Bauhaus Internet Audit Assurance" --nothing. They state that they are "one of the leading global accounting firms, (which) provides a monthly review of Casino1x2.com payout percentage." Funny how they don't seem to appear anywhere on the Internet except at Casino1x2.com and Internet1x2.com.
So who are these guys? I checked Whois and b-iaa.com is registered by a guy who goes by the name of "Peter Singh". So I did a Google search on "Peter Singh". A number of sites came up, and number one on the results page was: The Rocking Sikh Peter Singh. Is this the same dude who is behind the B.I.A.A.? Probably not. Peter Singh is probably a faked name for the registrant. But it's an amusing thought to think that a Sikh Elvis Impersonator is watching over the gameplay of Casino1x2.com and its brethren. After all, it's only a game, right?

3. This week's humor
One day a guy dies and finds himself in hell. As he is wallowing in despair he has his first meeting with the devil.
Devil: Why so glum, chum?
Guy: What do you think? I'm in hell.
Devil: Hell's not so bad. We actually have a lot of fun down here. You a drinkin' man?
Guy: Sure, I love to drink.
Devil: Well you're gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays That's all we do is drink. Whiskey, tequila, Guinness, wine coolers, diet Tab, and Fresca. We drink till we throw up and then we drink some more.
Guy: Gee, that sounds great.
Devil: You a smoker?
Guy: You better believe it.
Devil: Alright! You're gonna love Tuesdays. We get the finest cigars from all over the world and smoke our lungs out. If you get cancer, no biggie - you're already dead, remember?
Guy: Wow. That's awesome.
Devil: I bet you like to gamble.
Guy: Why yes, as a matter of fact I do.
Devil: Cause Wednesday you can gamble all you want. Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, Slots, whatever. If you go bankrupt, well, you're dead anyhow.
Devil: You into drugs?
Guy: Are you kidding? I love drugs. You don't mean....
Devil: That's right Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big bowl of crack or smack. Smoke a doobie the size of a submarine. You can do all the drugs you want and if ya overdose - that's alright - you're dead, who cares? O.D.!!
Guy: Yowza!! I never realized Hell was such a swingin' place.
Devil: You gay?
Guy: No....
Devil: Ooooh (grimaces), You're gonna hate Fridays . .

Laser cell phones - whatever next?
Making the headlines all over the world this week was a story from London, where a high tech gang tried to take one of Britain's most exclusive casinos for £1.3million in an amazing sting.
Two Serbian men and a "beautiful" Hungarian woman are alleged to have used a laser scanner to predict the spin of a roulette wheel at the Ritz casino in London last week.
It is claimed the device, hidden in a mobile phone, was linked to a micro-computer which calculated where the ball would drop. As the ball was spun, the information was delivered back to the gamblers by pushing a button on the phone and bets were placed before the third spin of the wheel, which is allowed.
Police arrested the trio at a nearby West End hotel for "obtaining their winnings by deception" after the casino became suspicious.
On their first visit, the three won £100,000, but they scooped £1,200,000 the following night. When the group left the club, they were given £300,000 in cash and a cheque for £900,000.
But after reviewing tapes from surveillance cameras, the club, which is underneath the Ritz Hotel, called in police. Officers from the Metropolitan Police Clubs and Vice Unit, which investigates casino con tricks, seized the cash and several mobiles.
They are being examined and now Scotland Yard's Serious and Organised Crime Squad has taken over the investigation. The device can't predict the exact number, but it does reduce odds from 37-1 to possibly 6-1.
The suspects have been released on police bail until the end of the month.
There is no offence of "cheating" at a casino, but, under a Gambling Bill to go before Parliament next year, any attempt to use outside influences would be an offence.
Complaints? Kudos? Please let me know.
Peace
