A new bill is geared to expand land-based gambling projects in Massachusetts. On Friday September the 9th, Dan Winslow (Republican from Norfolk) a State Representative filed an amendment to the bill that will permit Internet poker.

Winslow said that his proposed gambling bill enjoys the support of various experts within this field. Potentially this could boost the state’s revenue, create additional jobs in the software and regulatory industries and satisfy the demand for internet gambling in Massachusetts.

In all probability the Winslow amendment might come up for discussion next Wednesday the Boston media reported. Winslow said, “Hopefully Massachusetts will lead from the front on this one. There’s not one state in the United States that enacted legislation as yet that will legalize and regulate cyber poker.” eGaming proposals have been discussed in New Jersey, Hawaii, Florida, California and Nevada but have not implemented.

Winslow stipulated the details of the proposal …

Willoughby, did not act upon a request from two ex- Cabinet officials to scrutinize irregularities in the lottery contract and the oversight activities of Chief Financial Officer Natwar M. Gandhi. Evans argued that it was the Inspector General’s responsibility to have carried out the investigation, since he failed to do so some councillors are concerned about the integrity of the deal. Hence another hearing must be held when the council reconvenes …

Marcelo C continued his winning streak when he won $14,654 on The Lord of the Rings slot game. His weekly winnings totaled $46,000 plus. As of next week Marcelo C will  have the opportunity …

It goes without saying that social network sites have taken the world by storm, and Facebook is the biggest social networking platform of them all. Facebook does not charge its users a cent.
