movie Slot Online painting
Movie trivia: in the opening scene of Kill Bill, several paintings in Vivica Fox's character's home are destroyed in the knife-fight between her and Uma Thurman. One of them is the painting "Cowboy Slot Online " by Rod Grier (Pam Grier's brother), which features "an ethnic group of cowboys playing a hot hand of poker". Prints and the original are available at his website. Unfortunately, they are depicted each holding a single card, there are no chips or money on the table, and 3 of the 4 of them have an ace -- not exactly an accurate poker game, but nevertheless some interesting trivia.

chess article
Greg Costikyan wrote an interesting article about chess and its complexities. Although chess in some ways is the antithesis of poker, in that it has an abject lack of chance or randomness during play, I've found that a lot of poker players enjoy chess. I enjoy analyzing chess situations in a similar way to how I enjoy analyzing poker situations; although the possible outcomes from a position are not reliant on chance as they are in poker, anticipating which of the moves is most likely by your opponent "feels" similar to assessing probabilities in poker to me.
In any event, the article is at least a good introduction to Costikyan's excellent weblog on games and game design.
...games of this type rely on emergent complexity--complicated strategies deriving from simple rules sets. And because the whole point of emergent complexity Judi Slot Online is that outcomes cannot readily be grasped from initial conditions, it's hard to derive a set of rules that create emergent complexity--at least at anything like the depth that Chess offers.
dallas "legally questionable" games
Dallas channel 11 ran a story on the "legally questionable" poker games going on in Dallas.
Chip says there are at least 30 groups in the area hosting high stakes games. Law enforcement sources back up that information and claim they' often see more than a hundred thousand dollars exchanging hands at just one place, in just one night.
problem gamblers sue casinos
Three casinos in Detroit have been sued by problem gamblers who claim they asked to be barred from the casinos but were not, and subsequently lost a lot of money. Link
It will be interesting to see where the suit goes. It's not clear that the casinos are liable if they don't perfectly enforce the voluntary ban program, but if they were shown to have known that these people were supposed to be barred and let them in anyway they may be in at least a little bit of trouble.
