| This past April, eight new World Gaming casinos decided to run a promotion, but they set the sophisticated bonusing section of the WG casino software incorrectly for crediting bonus playthrough. Essentially, they offered bonuses that were way too generous. The result was a large influx of players who had wised up to the positive possibilities "...in about thirty minutes" Many of them made large deposits. Nevertheless, for the most part they played well within the rules set by the casino. When the casino operators realized their expensive mistake, they hastily changed the T&Cs and then locked accounts, in many cases without any explanation and making it impossible for players to withdraw their cash. Adding insult to injury, most of the offending casinos then refused to respond to player demands for an explanation. Check out the whole story here. |  |

2. And now for the humor...
From the archives...
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.
ha ha ha
Again, thanks sis!

Ah, Bryan....
Ben Franklin said: "Wine is constant proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy."
Living in St. Louis, Missouri, about 5 miles from Anheuser-Busch, I have enormous respect for beer, especially the Rauch Bier of Bamberg (which is not anywhere near St. Louis), but Franklin did like wine better. You need to explore the Rhine a bit more, son. Go to Hochheim and try a few of their offerings, especially the wines of Franz Kuntsler.
Does this qualify as spam? If so, it definitely goes well with a doppelbock or, when fried, have it with a Hochheimer Konigin Victoria Berg Spatlese.

5. GOOD WEEK FOR CRYPTOLOGIC
Legal hassles sorted out, new licencees
Aside from disappointing quarterly financial numbers it has definitely been a good week for Big Four turnkey provider Cryptologic. CEO Jean Noulting has just announced an amicable settlement in respect of a civil action filed by the New Jersey Divisions of Gaming Enforcement and Consumer Affairs on October 16, 2001. The settlement agreement expressly acknowledges that CryptoLogic, WagerLogic, and the WagerLogic licensees named in the civil action have not violated any law, statute, ordinance, contract, duty or obligation whatsoever.
Noulting used the announcement to remind the industry that Crypto has invested heavily in seeking a certification for its software to the strict Australian model, and that it is the only Big Four supplier to successfully get software certification on the Isle of Man and Alderney. They've added a new legal eagle to senior management to oversee their efforts, and aim to get those juicy big land-based clients as often as possible.
The company also reported on progress in five major new projects:
A new online casino for the swank London hotel and club Ritz International. Ritz Interactive has been established to pursue online, wireless and interactive television-related gaming activity, and was recently awarded one of three online casino licenses in Alderney
Dukes Entertainment N.V., through its Dukesgaming.com website, will offer CryptoLogic's full suite of downloadable and Java casino games to players around the globe, and is scheduled for launch in the second quarter.
An advertising agreement with PlasmaNet, Inc., a leader in the online data mining and product promotion industry.
The launch of Sports.com Casino ready for the start of football's World Cup in June. Sports.com has both java and download gambling suites and will payout in British pounds sterling. It is one of the largest Internet sports brands and sports content providers in the world, published in five languages, and boasts the highest traffic digital network for sports information and betting in Europe with over 4 million audited unique users via the Internet and wireless devices.
With software compliance testing now in its final phase, Littlewoodscasino.com will go live on the Isle of Man this month as one of the first tier-one regulated gaming sites on the Internet. Littlewoods Leisure is one of the best-known gaming organizations in the U.K., providing football pools, sports betting and lotteries to more than 1.6 million households per week. Littlewoodscasino.com will offer 30 single- and multi-player casino games with British pound sterling play and payouts.
CryptoLogic's cutting-edge downloadable Bingo product will go live with its first licensee, InterBingo, on May 23, 2002. Discussions with other well-known brand-name licensees are underway. Emulating the traditional 75-number Bingo game played in Bingo halls around the world, CryptoLogic Bingo will offer five play-for-money halls and one play-for fun hall, with themes customizable to the preference of each licensee.
