Record online casino revenue powers Italy to January GGR of 324.9m – iGaming Business
Posted: at 3:04 am
Italian igaming revenue reached 324.9m, the highest total in eight months, thanks mostly to record high revenue from online casino games.
Revenue across all online verticals came to 324.9m, the fifth-highest figure ever recorded in a month. However, this was still 3.3% below the total recorded in January 2021.
The month-on-month growth was mostly thanks to another record high in online casino revenue, which reached 171.0m in January, 5.0% more than in January 2021 and breaking the record of 165.5m set the previous month.
January 2022s online casino revenue was also well over double the figure recorded just two years earlier.
Online sports betting GGR, meanwhile, ticked slightly up month-on-month to 128.8m, but this was well below the 143.6m recorded in January 2021.
When the retail sector is also included, overall sports betting revenue came to 211.0m, which again was slightly more than December 2021. However, with the retail sector locked down for the entirety of January 2021 and therefore contributing no revenue, combined sports betting revenue was up 46.9%.
Poker revenue increased month-on-month, with 11.4m from tournaments and 7.5m from cash games, but both of these figures were a long way behind the totals achieved during 2020 and early 2021 as the Covid-19 pandemic led to a poker resurgence.
Bingo revenue also rose slightly month-on-month, to 6.1m.
Looking at the dominant operators, PokerStars continued to lead the way in online casino, but with a market share of less than 10%.
Following behind were two business that may change hands soon. Snai owned by Playtech, which is subject to a bid from TTB Partners held an 8.79% share. In third position was Sisal, which PokerStars owner Flutter has agreed to acquire, with a 7.93% share of the market. Fourth-placed Lottomatica, meanwhile, had been sold by former owner IGT last year.
In online sports betting, the market leader was Snai with 13.7% of revenue. Sisal followed with 13.3%, while Bet365, PlanetWin365, Goldbet and Eurobet all continued to hover around the 10% mark.
When retail is included, Snai and Goldbet led the way, with 15.2% and 15.1% of the market, respectively. Sisal had a 13.1% marketshare while Eurobets was 11.7%.
Pokerstars continued to dominate in poker, as its share of tournament play revenue crept back above the 50% barrier. For cash games, its market share was slightly lover, at 42.74%.

Duran Duran to play outdoor gig at Treasure Island Casino in August – St. Paul Pioneer Press
Posted: at 3:04 am
New wave legends Duran Duran will headline Treasure Island Resort and Casinos amphitheater on Aug. 19 with support from Chic featuring Nile Rodgers.
Seats are priced from $159 to $68 and general admission is $39. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. March 25 through Ticketmaster.
Formed in Birmingham in 1978, Duran Duran found huge success in the early 80s thanks in part to the bands embrace of the then-new world of music videos. Girls on Film, Hungry Like the Wolf, Rio, Is There Something I Should Know, The Reflex and The Wild Boys all landed in heavy rotation on MTV.
After a massive global tour in 1984, which saw them play the St. Paul Civic Center that February, the band took a break to work on the side projects Arcadia (vocalist Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes) and Power Station (guitarist Andy Taylor, bassist John Taylor), with drummer Roger Taylor contributing to both acts.
When Duran Duran got back together, Roger Taylor announced he was retiring and Andy Taylor quit during the recording of 1986s Notorious. The title track was a hit and Duran Duran went on to score further success with All She Wants Is, Ordinary World, Come Undone and Too Much Information.
In 2003, the original lineup reunited for a world tour and, the following year, released their 11th album, Astronaut. Andy Taylor left the band for a second time in 2006, but the remaining four members have continued to record and tour. In October, Duran Duran issued their 15th album, Future Past, which features producers Mark Ronson and Giorgio Moroder and Blurs Graham Coxon on guitar.
Last month, Duran Duran was announced as one of 17 nominees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, alongside Eminem, Eurythmics, Judas Priest, Beck and Dionne Warwick. The list of inductees will be announced in May.

Software Technologies in Virtual Casinos – PlayStation Universe
Posted: at 3:04 am
Casinos have progressed significantly from their previous state. The manner in which an online casino operates has been affected by technological advancements. A virtual casino takes a lot of time and effort to create, from digital betting shops to live games. This is made feasible by the employment of several forms of software technologies.
Furthermore, legal internet casinos offer a different perspective on how conventional casinos operate. They are more convenient, simple, and valuable than land-based casinos. Did you realize that the internet gaming industry is valued at over 100 billion dollars? It was only in 2017 that this occurred.
Virtual players appear to generate more revenue than they do in person! And, given the worlds current situation, an increasing number of individuals are opting to remain indoors. The popularity of casino sites has resurfaced as you can find tips on a number of casino games from Casinopilotti.
There is a lot to be gained from technical breakthroughs. The six variables below are only a few of the software technologies that are employed in casino sites:
Evolution Gaming
News and updates as they happen in real-time. Perhaps youve already seen them. In the news, on social media, and elsewhere. However, the same may be said for gambling. The sector has been greatly benefited by the live and engaging experience. This is made possible by Evolution Gaming.
Live gambling lets you interact with real people while playing games like roulette and blackjack. Live monopoly, Sic Bo, and Dragon Tiger are also available. There are numerous options to choose from. Furthermore, there are live dealer casino games that are expressly created to demonstrate this.

Mapping Memory in the Wake of the Posthuman: India and Canada
25-26 March 2022
Concept Note: Since the onset of Gutenbergs print culture in 1440, the human presence has been central to the existence of social, political, cultural contexts of recorded imagination on planet earth. For centuries now, western thinkers have dwelled upon the human condition; the seemingly innocuous universalization of epistemological engagement emanating thus, has found recurrent encouragement from conventional sources of wisdom. Sociologist Maurice Parmelee in her 1916 essay titled Poverty and Social Progress first propagated the possibility of the Posthuman. However, Ihab Hassans declaration of the rise of the Posthuman in the later part of the eventful twentieth century (1977) and the subsequent onset of the postmodern, upset held conventions as well as paved way for a dramatic recapitulation of the world as it was conceived till then. While it is indeed challenging to express the Posthuman in concrete and definite terms, Donna HarawaysA Cyborg Manifesto and Cary Wolfes What is Posthumanism? with their striking observations of the concept tell us that the idea of the Posthuman not only decentralizes human beings from a hitherto grand narrative and replaces them with other nonhuman/inhuman possibilities such as nature, animals, cyborgs, robots and such like, but also opens a minefield of discourse that can potentially negate all kinds of hegemonic signifiers currently in circulation. The most palpable outcome of the emergence of the Posthuman, quite similar to what the Postmodern brought in for the modern, is that humanism, as we knew it for quite some time in recorded history, is about to witness an irreversible change. When Hayles amalgamated the postmodern and hallucination, cybernetics and informatics in her interpretation of the Posthuman, little did one realise that the Posthuman in no more to be dismissed as forever suspended in future, that the Postmodern is both immediate and intimate in the temporal as well as spatial sense, that it exists here and now.In the wake of the Posthuman then, how does one make sense of a world perforated by long drawn conflicts, war zones, forced displacements and voluntary migrations, and diseases? Is the Posthuman likely to emerge from a degenerative space inherited by a depleted earth or is it likely to create a more thanhuman existence, a utopian occurrence that lay hitherto unimagined? What lies ahead and how is it plausible to negotiate memory from what has passed by? How do India and Canada, diverse in terms of their populations, communities, cultures, and geopolitical realities, deal with this inevitable onset of the Posthuman? What prepares these two diverse democracies of the world for what is about to appear? How will it impact their narratives of existence and sustenance? What ruptures and continuities are these two giant nations of our interest likely to experience owing to the sweeping changes brought in by an ever expanding possibility of the Posthuman? The two day Symposium seeks to invite papers from Faculty, research scholars, independent researchers, students and other interested professionals in the following areas to deliberate upon: The human and the posthuman Speculative fiction Resistance Literature Utopia and dystopia Memory and the posthuman Borders and the Posthuman Animal Studies Disease and the Posthuman Displacements and Migrations Conflicts and warzones Human, inhuman and nonhuman Indigeneity and foreignness Home and exile Memory and trauma Select papers from the symposium will be published after peer review with a publishing house of repute.

Ron Paul: Is Washington Fighting Russia Down To The Last Ukrainian? OpEd – Eurasia Review
Posted: at 2:59 am
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine moves past its third week, there are slight hopes that negotiations between the two sides may soon produce a ceasefire. But with the shrill warmongering talk in Washington, it almost seems like the US government would hate to see that happen.
Congress and the US Administration seem determined to drag the United States into a war with Russia over Ukraine. Senator Lindsay Graham is openly calling for someone to kill the Russian president and many in the US House have demanded that the Administration establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
Are they insane? A no-fly zone means you destroy anything and everything that can prevent total US air dominance. That means an attack on Russian missile and air defense systems within Russia. In other words, World War III.
We can all feel disgust at the destruction in Ukraine, but is it really necessary for us to gamble with our own nuclear annihilation?
Sadly, a large bipartisan group in Congress seems to think so.
Much of what is happening in Ukraine can be traced back to the Obama Administration. State Department officials like Victoria Nuland and Antony Blinken planned and executed the overthrow of the Ukrainian government in 2014. This is what set us on this path to conflict, as the government put in place after the coup began demanding NATO membership.
Blinken, Nuland, and the others responsible for this heinous act returned to government in more senior positions under President Biden and they have continued to push their Ukraine agenda.
Last week Secretary of State Blinken our top diplomat sought to send Soviet-era Polish fighter jets into Ukraine to shoot Russians. When the Poles said theyd be happy to ship the planes to a US base in Germany and let the Pentagon transfer them to Ukraine, the Pentagon finally stepped in to quash an extraordinarily high-risk move that even the Pentagon said would have no real effect on the outcome of the war.
The State Department is trying to get us into a war and the Pentagon is trying to keep us out. How ironic!
Back when I was on the campaign trail I would say that we have a few thousand diplomats in government, it might not be a bad idea to use them. But I certainly did not mean that we should use them to try and get us further involved in a war!
Three weeks into this terrible war, the US is not pursuing talks with Russia. As Antiwar.com recently reported, instead of supporting negotiations between Ukraine and Russia that could lead to a ceasefire and an end to the bloodshed, the US government is actually escalating the situation which can only increase the bloodshed.
The constant flow of US and allied weapons into Ukraine and talk of supporting an extended insurgency does not seem designed to give Ukraine a victory on the battlefield but rather to hand Russia what Secretary of State Blinken called a strategic defeat.
It sounds an awful lot like the Biden Administration intends to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian. The only solution for the US is to get out. Let the Russians and Ukrainians reach an agreement. That means no NATO for Ukraine and no US missiles on Russias borders? So what! End the war then end NATO.

New bill would allow US citizens to seize Russian ships by force – Laredo Morning Times
Posted: at 2:59 am
A Texas lawmaker has introduced legislation that would allow private U.S. citizens to seize assets and property owned by Russian oligarchs who have been sanctioned in response to Russia's ongoing war with Ukraine.
The bill, introduced on Feb. 28 by Rep. Lance Gooden from Dallas, would require President Joe Biden to issue letters of marque and reprisal for the seizure of yachts, planes or other property owned by those on the Treasury Department's list of sanctioned Russians. The proposal comes as the U.S. continues to increase sanctions against Russia's elite in response to the country's war against Ukraine. While Biden has warned Russian oligarchs that the U.S. will seize their ill-begotten gains," Gooden says it's not enough.
"Putins inner circle have planes and yachts sitting at airports and harbors all over the world," Gooden said in a March 1 news release. "If President Biden refuses to act quickly, then it is time Congress and American citizens take matters into their own hands. Russian oligarchs must be held accountable for enabling the disgusting invasion of Ukraine.
Letters of Marque and Reprisal, a historic tool authorized in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution, allow private citizens or groups to seize enemy property on behalf of the U.S. government. Such letters were used during the War of 1812, but have not been issued since.
This new bill would authorize "privately armed individuals and entities to seize the assets of certain Russian citizens" and states "the holder of such a letter [of Marque] shall be authorized to employ all means reasonably necessary to seize any asset, such as a yacht or plane, outside of the United States that belongs to a Russian citizen on the Office of Foreign Asset Control's List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons."
Gooden's office told Fox News that the letters could even be used in cyberspace for U.S. hackers to go after Russia. "Corrupt Russian oligarchs have enabled Putin's war," Gooden tweeted. "That's why I have introduced legislation to allow U.S. citizens to SEIZE yachts and jets of sanctioned Russians. We must use every tool at our disposal to stand up to Russia and stand with Ukraine."
Former Texas Rep. Ron Paul introduced his Marque and Reprisal Act following the 9/11 attacks, which would have authorized private citizens to "seize the person and property of Osama bin Laden and any other individual responsible for the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11." In 2009, Paul again proposed issuing letters of marque to combat Somali pirates.

Sen. Ron Johnson tops list of Republicans endorsed by top Jewish GOP organization – Fox News
Posted: at 2:59 am
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: The political wing of a top grassroots group that represents Jewish Republicans across the country is endorsing GOP Sen. Ron Johnson as he runs for re-election this year in the crucial battleground state of Wisconsin.
And the Republican Jewish Coalitions (RJC) PAC, in an announcement shared first with Fox News on Wednesday, also backed nine House GOP lawmakers and four congressional candidates as it made its second round of endorsements ahead of November's midterm elections, when Republicans aim to win back majorities in the House and Senate.
SEN. RON JOHNSON OF WISCONSIN ANNOUNCES 2022 RE-ELECTION
Johnson, a conservative senator first elected in the 2010 Tea Party-fueled red wave and a strong supporter of former President Trump, announced in January that he would run for a third term. Democrats view Johnson as vulnerable, and hes one of the most heavily targeted GOP senators running for re-election this year.

The race in Wisconsin is one of a handful that could decide which party will control the Senate next year. The chambers currently split 50/50 between the two major political parties, but the Democrats hold the majority thanks to the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Kamala Harris through her constitutional role as president of the Senate. That means the GOP needs a net gain of just one seat to reclaim the majority it lost when it was swept in the January 2021 twin Senate runoff contests in Georgia.
In the House, Republicans need a net gain of just five seats in the 435-member chamber to win back the majority they lost in the 2018 midterm elections.
FIRST ON FOX NEWS: REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE SHATTERS FUNDRAISING RECORDS IN FEBRUARY
The RJC is also endorsing Republican Reps. David Schweikert of Arizona (AZ-01), David Valadao of California (CA-22), Andy Harris of Maryland (MD-01), Peter Meijer of Michigan (MI-03), Don Bacon of Nebraska (NE-02), Yvette Herrell of New Mexico (NM-02), Nicole Malliotakis of New York (NY-11), Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania (PA-01) and Nancy Mace of South Carolina (SC-01).
Mace was one of the earliest supporters of Trumps successful 2016 campaign to win the White House. But while the freshman House lawmaker didnt vote to impeach Trump 14 months ago, she did publicly say that his rhetoric leading up to the storming of the Capitol "put all of our lives at risk."

And in October, Mace was the lone South Carolina Republican to join congressional Democrats in voting to hold former Trump White House senior aide Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena issued by the House select committee investigating the riot at the Capitol.
Trump has repeatedly lashed out at Mace and is backing Republican Katie Arrington who is primary challenging the congresswoman. Trump took aim at Mace and once again praised Arrington at a rally on Saturday in South Carolina.
WHO'S UP AND WHO'S DOWN IN THE LATEST FOX NEWS MIDTERMS POWER RANKINGS
The RJC is also endorsing Republican congressional candidates Esther Joy King of Illinois (IL-17), Monica De La Cruz (TX-15) and Wesley Hunt (TX-38) of Texas, and Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin (WI-03).
In making the endorsements, RJC executive director Matt Brooks told Fox News that "we need Republicans in Congress who will fight for Americas freedom, security, and prosperity, and who support our ally, Israel. The RJC PAC enthusiastically supports these GOP incumbents and challengers, who will help Republicans take back the House and Senate majorities and will bring much-needed sanity back to Capitol Hill."
Noting that the RJCs PAC raised over $10 million in the 2020 cycle for its endorsed House and Senate candidates, Brooks emphasized that "the RJC PAC had a significant impact in 2020 and will continue to make a difference in highly competitive races like these. The candidates we are endorsing today are talented, principled, dedicated public leaders whose elections are top priorities for the GOP in 2022."

Wednesdays endorsements are the second batch this cycle by the RJC. Its PAC last year endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Reps. Carlos Gimenez (FL-26) and Maria Salazar (FL-27) of Florida, and Reps. Mike Garcia (CA-25), Young Kim (CA-39) and Michelle Steel (CA-48) of California.

The RJC is a nearly four-decades-old group that describes itself as "the national grassroots organization of Jewish Republicans and represents tens of thousands of Jewish Republicans across this country."
The late Republican mega donor and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who died at age 87 in January of last year, for years played a key leadership role with the RJC and gave it generous financial support.

Weekend Rundown: One Suspect in Deaths of Five Homeless Men in DC and NYC – Washington City Paper
Posted: at 2:59 am
Police in D.C. and New York City believe one man is responsible for shooting five men experiencing homelessness in both cities. Three men were shot in D.C., one of whom died. One of the two men shot in NYC over the weekend has died.
Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York City Mayor Eric Adams released a joint statement yesterday asking for information on the suspect and advising unhoused people to seek shelter.
Three of the shootings took place in Northeast D.C. from March 3 to March 9, and the two NYC shootings occurred over the weekend. The string of shootings follow repeated calls from unhoused residents and housing advocates for Bowser to stop or pause encampment clearings in D.C.
An Metropolitan Police Department statement released yesterday said Fifth District officers responded to sounds of gunshots at the 1100 block of New York Avenue NE on March 3 at about 4 a.m. On March 8 at 1:21 a.m., Fifth District officers responded to a report of a shooting at the 1700 block of H Street NE. In both cases, they found an unhoused man with non-life threatening gunshot wounds.
On March 9 at 2:54 a.m., an MPD officer noticed a tent fire near the 400 block of New York Avenue NE. DC Fire and EMS put out the fire and found the remains of a man inside the tent. An autopsy determined that the cause of death was multiple stab and gunshot wounds.
Similarities in the victims status and the assailants actions, as well as recovered evidence, lead police in both cities to believe theyre looking for the same suspect, according to MPDs statement. MPD and NYPD will work with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to investigate the crimes.
Anyone with information should contact MPD at (202) 727-9099 or send a text to 50411. MPD is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the suspect; the ATF Washington Field Division is offering another $20,000.
It is heartbreaking and tragic to know that in addition to all the dangers that unsheltered residents face, we now have a cold-blooded killer on the loose, but we are certain that we will get the suspect off the street and into police custody, Bowser and Adams said in their statement.
In other news
On Friday afternoon, an elderly driver crashed into a group of diners at the Parthenon Restaurant & Chevy Chase Lounge on the 5500 block of Connecticut Avenue NW. Two women from Northwest D.C., 73-year-old Terese Dudnick Taffer and 76-year-old Jane Bloom, died in the hospital. Six others were hospitalized, and three more people were treated and released.
D.C. police believe the incident was accidental, and said the driver was cooperating with investigators. The drivers name was not released. Pete Gouskos, owner of the longtime Chevy Chase restaurant, told WUSA9 that the driver was a regular diner for the past 20 years, and a very nice guy who would often come in for a glass of Coke, a burger, and to watch a sports game.Parthenon reopened after staff helped clean up the patio. The restaurants outdoor dining will reopen in time, Gouskos said.
