LAS VEGAS (KLAS) The El Cortez Hotel and Casino in Downtown Las Vegas announced that it will begin its transition to being a 21 and over only property on Apr. 1.

The rollout of the change will come in two phases, starting with hotel guests. In phase one, all hotel stays booked on and after Apr. 1 will require all guests to be at least 21 years old with a valid state-issued ID.

In phase two, the entire property will be limited to guests aged 21 and older, including all food and beverage outlets. Identification checks will be performed at every entrance.

The change comes during the final stages of the casinos $25 million property remodel.

This transition comes after careful consideration and decades of trying to accommodate minors in a property that is focused primarily on gaming and popular casino bars, said El Cortez Hotel & Casino General Manager Adam Wiesberg.

DANVILLE, Ill. (WTHI) Many people are focused on plans to bring a casino to Terre Haute, Indiana but work on another casino, not too far away, is also moving forward.

Getting a casino in Danville, Illinois has been years in the making and the mayor says the project just cleared another hurdle.

Mayor Rickey Williams, Jr. says the Golden Nugget Danville project recently got unanimous suitability approval by the Illinois Gaming Board. Construction permits have also been submitted and groundbreaking could happen within the next month.

He says he thinks the Danville and Terre Haute casinos can be good for each other.

It's my hope that both of our casinos are close enough that folks who are in to casinos and gaming and such, maybe they'll try one and then try the other."

Phase one of the Danville casino includes 14 table games and five hundred slot machines. It will be located off Interstate 74 and include a steakhouse and other restaurant. The mayor says the casino will create three hundred full time jobs and bring in $4 to $6 million in revenue. It could open 9 to 11 months after groundbreaking.

Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard will open its first casino shop at the Rivers Casino Philadelphia on March 20, as part of Rita's strategy to expand into non-traditional locations, according to a press release.

The Rita's opening at Rivers Casino Philadelphia will be take place during the casino's St Patrick's Day weekend celebration. Casino guests stopping by will get to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Rita's First Day of Spring promotion with a twist on its free Italian Ice giveaway.

To participate, casino guests need to download Rita's mobile app by March 20 to receive a First Day of Spring free Ice offer that can be used one time over the period of a week, between March 20 27.

"As a Philly favorite, we're excited to open within Rivers Casino Philadelphia to create more opportunities for guests to experience Rita's, especially in a non-traditional, entertainment-filled atmosphere like a casino," Linda Chadwick, CEO of Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard, said in the release. "The Rita's model lends itself well to compact, high-volume spaces, so we expect this new shop will be a positive addition to the casino's food line up and a big hit with guests."

While this opening marks Rita's first entrance into casinos, the location will join a variety of existing non-traditional units in theme parks and stadiums, and a first airport location coming soon.

"As Philly's first casino, we're thrilled to be the first casino to feature Rita's Italian Ice," Justin Moore, general manager of Rivers Casino Philadelphia, said in the release. "The first day of spring is the perfect time to bring together two of Philadelphia's most recognizable brands. We can't wait for guests to enjoy frozen treats all year long."

Foxwoods Resort Casinos numbers, posted on the website of the state Department of Consumer Protections Gaming Division, show it kept$28 million in slots revenue, a24.4% increase over the $22.5 million it kept the same month theprevious year.

The results of year-over-year comparisons havefluctuated erraticallyover the last couple of years due to variations in the COVID-19 pandemics effect on the casinos business.

The casinos contribute 25% of their monthly slots wins to the state. In February, Mohegan paid $10.1 million and Foxwoods paid$7.1 million.

In February, the casinos, which pay 18% of their gross online gaming revenue to the state, anted up another $3.1 million, with Foxwoods paying $1.9 million and Mohegan Sun, $1.2 million. The total was down from the $3.4 million the casinos paid the statein online gaming revenue in January.

Sports betting revenue also was down in February compared to the previous month. Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun and the Connecticut Lottery Corp. combined to pay the state slightly more than $500,000, a sum that's 13.75% of their gross sports betting revenue.

In the first four full months of online gaming and sports betting in Connecticut November through February related payments to the state have averaged a little more than $4 million a month. In the same period, the casinos' slots payment have averaged about $16.7 million a month.

Casinos' up-and-down slots revenue comparisons were up in February - theday.com

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%.

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.

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.

Once it comes to live-action gaming, Evolution Gaming has a lot of competition, but it still comes out on top. Many live online casinos have faith in the company to increase player volume. Furthermore, live casinos allow for real-money wagering. You can expect a solid return on your investment.

NetEnt (Net Entertainment)

NetEnt provides gaming solutions to some of the worlds greatest casino sites. NetEnt, previously known as Net Entertainment, was founded in 1996. Only a few games, including slots and blackjack, were available. However, there are now fewer than a hundred NetEnt games available. RNG (Random Number Generator) and Live Casino games are the specialties of this software provider. You will have a balanced and pleasurable experience as a result of this.

However, one of the best aspects of this organization is its outstanding visuals. They have exceptional 3D imaging, as well as fun games and extras. You can also earn a lot of money! As a player, what more could you want?

Betsoft Gaming

Slot machines are entirely unbiased. There are many different slot machines, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Betsoft, on the other hand, offers some of the most exciting slot machines available.

The aesthetics and playability of Betsoft are far superior to that of the competition. This is a slot machine that no gambler should overlook. They sell their slots as a bundle or as individual games, depending on what a casino needs.

The software is popular because of its 3D slots and mobile-friendly casino games. Betsoft is regarded as one of the most outstanding igaming software providers globally. It truly distinguishes any online casino from the competition. The appearance of a gambling website enhances when Betsoft games are added.

Microgaming

Maryland casinos recently expanded their gaming operations with the introduction of sports betting. But that isnt all thats new at the six casinos.

Last week, the states casinos began offering guests on-site COVID-19 booster shots. The vax initiative is part of Governor Larry Hogans (R) booster action plan.

MGM National Harbor, Live! Casino & Hotel, Horseshoe Baltimore, Ocean Downs, Rocky Gap Resort, and Hollywood Perryville each have vax clinics on property. Hogan says getting a booster aka, a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine is the best bet a gambler can make while at one of the gaming venues.

Getting a booster shot is a safe bet on your health, and millions of Marylanders have already stepped up to get one, said Hogan. These clinics are another way to get more vaccines to the community, and I want to thank our casinos across the state for being such great community partners.

Live! Casino, which is operated by Baltimore-based Cordish Companies, has long been doing its part in making COVID-19 vaccines more widely available. The Anne Arundel casino was one of the first commercial casinos in the nation to open an on-site vaccination clinic when it did so in January of 2021.

Maryland is home to a little more than six million people. The latest health data shows that nearly 74% of the population is considered fully vaccinated or receiving at least two COVID-19 vaccine doses. Eighty-five percent of the population has received at least one dose.

That ranks Maryland in the top 10 of the 50 states in terms of vaccination. Hogan nonetheless wants more shots in arms.

Along with the casino vax clinics, Hogan has set aside an additional $2 million in government funds for a promotion running through the Maryland Lottery. Anyone who receives a booster at a state-approved location can enter into a random weekly drawing to win cash prizes.

Each week now through May 3, the Maryland Lottery will draw a single name and hand the lucky winner $50,000. The promotion dubbed VaxCash 2.0 began last week with a $500,000 winner being drawn. VaxCash 2.0 follows the original VaxCash lottery promotion held last year. It also paid out $2 million in winnings to Marylanders who got vaccinated.

Last weeks winning recipient, lottery officials revealed, is a resident of Dundalk. To be eligible to win, the person receiving a booster must be 18 or older, a Maryland resident, and have received all of their COVID-19 shots (primary doses and booster) in the state of Maryland.

VaxCash 2.0 is set to conclude with a life-changing $1 million prize drawing on May 3.

Hogans office celebrated last month the state administering its two millionth COVID-19 booster shot. As of the end of January, the Maryland Department of Health says more than 11 million coronavirus vaccine shots have been dispensed into arms.

More than 95% of the states adult population has reportedly received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Though the efficacy of vaccines slowing the spread of the coronavirus continues to be debated, Hogan flaunted his states high vaccination rate as a cause for the steep decline in recent positivity rates.

Getting a booster shot is the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself, your family, and your fellow Marylanders from this virus and its variants, the governor concluded.
