Las Vegas: Candidates Pledge to End Losing Streaks



Additionally, the candidates propose unionizing "temporary gambling collectives" and setting up subsidized "second chance" training programs to increase the winning potential of flustered heads of households. Proposals also include incentives to struggling Sin City industries, from catering to prostitution and strip clubs, as well as various rescue packages to casinos that were hardest hit by Jumbo Jackpot payouts.

"The government should insulate low-income gamblers from going broke and give a second or third chance to any losing individual by providing special government chips that can be used in any casino or participating drinking establishment," she said at a recent Caesar's Palace fundraiser.


Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee opposed Obama's minimum bet idea and, instead, proposed a cap on maximum bets - at 20 cents for penny machines except for the new Pharaoh's Gold game, which requires 25 cents to cover all line combinations, and Coyote Moon, which has 40 possible lines and therefore requires a 40-cent investment per spin. Huckabee reluctantly admitted that Clinton's "second chance chips" was originally his own idea, and that it would be a "Christian thing to do" as long as the bailout didn't involve tax dollars.


Thompson added that he would also consider applying relief to those playing such slot machines as Enchanted Unicorn, ShrimpMania, and Dam Lumberjack Beavers, since the bonuses on these games rely on a player's guessing abilities. Unlike the Wheel of Fortune machines, there is no progressive jackpot, but a player can maximize his winnings by listening to his intuition in order to guess which selection holds the highest dollar amount - much like the "Let's Make a Deal" game show, of which there is now a slot machine as well, one that Thompson endorses and has even caught Ron Paul playing.

McCain and Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney both advocated expansion of the Federal Gambling Administration to allow gamblers to refinance their homes. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani upped the ante by also proposing government aid for gamblers who were "one card short of a Bad Beat Poker Jackpot."

Community activists, such as members of a progressive pressure group "Gamblers for Change" with a rich history of supporting Democrat causes, remain unconvinced. None of the spending proposals offers a sufficient safety net to the gambling community and their families, who live under constant threat of losing due to the lack of guarantees of winning.
"It is a moral responsibility of the federal government to provide us with guarantees, and we have yet to see any of the candidates live up to our expectations," the group representative said at a rally in the lobby of Tropicana Hotel and Casino this weekend.

I must protest the use of catchy little jingles in the Cube. I was enjoying reading this morning until I reached "Do you know the way to Mandalay"...Now, I have this stupid jingle in my head and can't get rid of it...Thanks Red Square...Thanks Space Dog...Thanks Burt...Thanks Dionne...Thanks 60's...This sounds like the acceptance of an award...




Obama-Osama needs to wear more capitalist bling-bling? Well... I guess that would be a good idea. It will show that he is still got "street cred".

We congratulate you on the first successful penetration of American pop culture via Britney Spears' by means of a temporary beau Adnan Ghalib.

Unfortunately he couldn't hold the position long enough to convert her to Islam. That may or may not be his fault, it's up to the revolutionary tribunal to decide.
Perhaps the next time you should focus on a target that can hold her attention on a subject longer than 0.5 seconds. Like Jeanine Garofalo.
