Attacks Continue in Australia - 26th August 2009

Unfortunately more serious casino
news out of Australia.
News
Limited and wires report the latest in a string
of attacks and bashings in and around Australia's
land based casinos and gambling dens.
FORMER
AFL star Jonathan Hay was attacked and kicked
in the face in an apparently random attack at
Crown casino.
Hay
was celebrating his 30th birthday with friends
when a gang of seven thugs forced him to the ground
just after 2am Sunday.
The
former All-Australian fullback suffered bruising
and a cut to the head in the latest episode of
mindless CBD violence.
It
would appear on the surface that online casinos,
online casino portals and the like, are gaining
another advantage from their land based cousins
by default. Of course online casino don't have
actual muggers, however one still needs to watch
out for online casino stings and low acts, like
they type that were documented on the United States
version of 60 Minutes last year.
I would
like to see Crown Casino offer an online casino
portfolio, perhaps showcase by a Kerry Packer
themed game. PartyGaming of course has a Frank
Sinatra and The Godfather slot, so why not a Packer
game?
PartyGaming's
PartyPoker, Noble Poker, and Euro Partners Titan
Poker, and a few other brands, are offering satellites
to the Poker Cup at Crown Casino later this year
beginning in September. Let's just hope the live
events are incident free. Insiders are looking
to confirm if Mike Sexton, Chris Moneymaker, Daniel
"Kid Poker" Negreanu, Annie Duke, Phil
Hellmuth, and Tony G are likely to attend. Those
individuals may or may not add to aggressive play
et al on location. Folks are extremely interested
to see if poker Doyle Brunson will turn up, as
Mr Brunson has been in a war of words with some
of the folks at Party over the past few years,
and the world in the street is that Party is interested
to talk serious shop with the powers that be at
Crown (and Star City). It's got all the makings
of a real life battle royal, and a serious mix
of personalities. You can bet that Crown's James
Packer will have security at an all time high,
comparative to when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
stayed at Crown a few months ago.
It's
in Crown's best interest to beef up security to
protect its customers, visitors and reputation.
