I was a guest on KNPR 88.9 (Nevada’s Public Radio) this morning, in particular on State of Nevada, the daily public affairs show hosted by Gwen Castaldi. The subject was gaming expansion, and I think the panel gave a very good summary of where the industry is and will be going. You can read about or listen via RealAudio here.
I’m strapped for time, so I’ll just give you a few headlines with no commentary today:
Online Gambling Needs Regulation (press release on yahoo.com)
Nevada gambling regulators confiscate $26,000 in fake chips (watch this story disappear)
New, younger fans revive the old riverboat gambling game of poker (and not just because your humble correspondent is quoted towards the end of the article)
Enjoy!

#1) The counterfeit chips story, being a whopping five sentences long, seemed somewhat understated. I happened to be accused of passing off fake cheques from a local disreputable casino, but I’m not sure if that’s the one from the story.
#2) Nixon was a heck of a poker player, it’s true! He could whip his militarily-minded buddies handily ANY day. And he didn’t wear a tie while playing, either–interesting fact now presented to the populace for mass digestion.
