The Midterm Elections aren't until November, but there are already dueling television advertisements about a California measure regarding sports betting.Proposition 27 would allow online and mobile sports wagering. The ads in support of Prop 27 say it would help end homelessness by bringing more money into the state, whereas, the ads against the proposition say, if passed, Prop 27 would increase homelessness by allowing more people to be addicted to gambling.KCRA 3 talked to two experts on the claims made in both ads: Isaac Hale, an assistant professor of politics at Occidental College, and Mary-Beth Moylan, the associate dean for Academic Affairs at the McGeorge School of Law.Below are the claims made and one of the two expert's responses on how much truth there is behind the claim.Watch the 'Yes on 27' campaign ad here Claim 1What the ad says: My tribe (Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California) has lived on this land for 12,000 years ... Our people once expansive, now whittled down to a small community.Moylan: I don't know about his particular tribe. I do think that it is true that there are certainly California tribes that have been on the land for a long period of time that have been diminished over time. Moylan's rating: FactHale: It's no secret that the history of California is full of genocide and decimated populations for indigenous peoples in the state, and the Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California is no exception. Hale: FactClaim 2What the ad says: Only one proposition supports California tribes like ours while providing hundreds of millions in yearly funding to finally address homelessness in California.Moylan: There are two propositions that both address some forms of sports wagering and only one that addresses online gaming: That is Prop 27. The providing hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to address homelessness and the support of tribes like the person in the videos what Proposition 27 does is it takes some of the taxes from the online sports wagering online gaming. It enables 85% of those funds to go to homelessness and mental health issues and 15% of it goes to a newly created fund called the Tribal Economic Trust Fund. That trust fund would be for money to be distributed to non-gaming tribes. So, when he says that this supports tribes, the answer is it will support some tribes, tribes like his. The hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to address homelessness really depends on how much the total pool is that the state collects from the online gaming operations. There are some complex funding and tax provisions in this measure. The measure is over 60 pages long and it has a number of different provisions. It allows for credits to be given to some of the online gaming operators. So how much we actually will see of the amounts that the gaming companies are bringing in to go into homelessness and to tribal economic support is not clear. Moylan's rating: Partially true, somewhat misleadingHale: It's not the only proposition on the ballot that would do this. And that's, I think, a false claim ... The second statement about addressing homelessness in California is half true. It will generate revenue dedicated to homelessness and tribal economic development. The exact amount is uncertain, though it's likely to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. But, you have to think about this sort of like the lottery. It's not a magic bullet for homelessness, just like the lottery isn't a magic bullet for education spending in the state. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of money the state would need to spend to solve homelessness. Hale's rating: Half true, mostly falseClaim 3What the ad says: Tax online sports betting and protect tribal sovereignty and help Californians who are hurting the most.Moylan: It does tax online sports betting. I think depending on your perspective on what it means to protect tribal sovereignty, or who the Californians are who are hurting the most, some people might say, "Yes, that's true; it's going to protect tribes that don't have gaming casinos on their land, and it's going to help Californians who are experiencing homelessness and mental health issues." Some people might argue that it's not really addressing tribal sovereignty at all. It's merely providing some money to certain tribes, and not all tribes in California. In fact, the lion's share of the money that has been raised on the no side of the Prop 27 campaign, tens of millions of dollars have been raised by other tribes. It's mostly tribes who are opposing Proposition 27, so I think those tribes would say that this doesn't protect their sovereignty.Moylan's rating: Partially true Hale: Yes, it will tax online sports betting, which is currently illegal in the state of California. It's not clear how this protects tribal sovereignty, especially as it shifts the locus of gambling in the state away from the tribes where it's historically been located to online sports betting companies like DraftKings. In terms of helping Californians hurting the most, yes, they will raise money for homelessness, but as with Prop 26, let's not kid ourselves that increased gambling legality will necessarily be a net economic benefit for vulnerable populations. Hale's rating: Half trueThe final verdictMoylan: I would say overall, the ad is misleading, although it does have elements of truth Hale: I would give this ad half true. Watch the 'No on 27' campaign ad here Claim 1What the ad says: Proposition 27 is being promoted by out-of-state gambling corporations.Hale: Corporations like BetMGM located in New Jersey, FanDuel located in New York, and DraftKings located in Massachusetts are all major backers of Proposition 27.

Moylan's rating: TrueClaim 2What the ad says: It would authorize a massive expansion of online sports gambling in California, turning every cell phone, laptop, tablet and even video game console into a gambling device, opening up online gambling to anyone, anywhere, anytime.Hale: Yes, it massively expands sports betting, which is a form of gambling and makes it extremely easy to access for adults. However, this statement implies that it's legalizing online gambling of all types. This doesn't legalize things like poker or blackjack online. This is specifically about sports betting. Hale's rating: Half trueMoylan: It certainly would allow for online sports gambling. It certainly does allow cell phones, laptops, tablets, and video game consoles to be used for gambling. There are provisions in the law that say that gaming operators would need to use geolocation technology and geo-fencing technology to ensure that people who were putting bets in were actually physically present in California and also were not on tribal lands. So, it doesn't necessarily open it up everywhere in California. There are also provisions that indicate that there needs to be checks in place to ensure that children are not gambling. Again, are there ways around these things? Yes. Moylan's rating: Partially trueClaim 3What the ad says: That could lead to more addiction, financial ruin and homelessness while exposing millions of children to online gambling.Hale: It's absolutely true that gambling is associated with economic hardship. Casinos and sports betting companies are not running a charity. The second claim about exposing millions of children to online gambling I would say this is half true. Updates with online gambling, like New Jersey, have methods to safeguard against children engaging in online gambling, such as using requiring social security numbers or utility bills in order to play online. There isn't much evidence one way or the other on how many kids are gambling online in states where it's legal versus states where it's not legal. It is definitely true that it's easier to keep kids from gambling in person for obvious reasons. But in terms of whether millions of children are going to be exposed to online gambling in a way they aren't currently, I think that's a dubious claim. Hale's rating: Half trueMoylan: This is hyperbole and maybe an exaggeration. It's certainly possible. I'm not going to say it's untrue that gambling is addicting. I think that there are many studies that suggest that it is. In terms of financial ruin and homelessness, that's speculative. I suppose it's possible that it could lead to that. There are provisions that say that it is only allowed for people 21 or older. That's obviously difficult to enforce in the cyberspace.Moylan's rating: ExaggerationThe final verdictMoylan: I would say overall, this one is true.

Fact-checking Proposition 27: Experts weigh in on California sports betting measure - KCRA Sacramento

Clairiere and Malathaat share the same sire (Curlin) and the same breeder (Stonestreet Stables), so its only natural the two 4-year-old fillies share the same stage for the sixth time in Sundays Grade 2 Shuvee Stakes at Saratoga.

As rivalries go, this one took a while. But these two ride into the Shuvee with one of the best rivalries in horse racing. And the 1 1/8-mile Shuvee even with a small four-horse field provides yet another salvo in the battle for dominance in the older filly and mare division.

Why this rivalry took so long to finally crystalize was easy to define. Malathaat was the hammer and Clairiere was the nail. Todd Pletchers Malathaat won the first four meetings between the two, starting with last years Kentucky Oaks. The dominance continued through the CCA Oaks, where runner-up Malathaat finished one spot ahead of Clairiere and into Malathaats score in the Alabama a month later. It concluded in last Novembers Breeders Cup Distaff, where third-place Malathaat bested Clairiere by one spot and a quarter length.

Add it up and Malathaat defeated her erstwhile rival by a combined 10 lengths in the four races. Clairiere was good, but not quite good enough.

Until 2022. Until the Grade 1 Ogden Phipps on the Belmont Stakes undercard. Thats when Clairiere finally became the hammer. She was fourth of five at the half-mile pole: 14 lengths behind pace-setter Letruska. At the three-quarters pole, she remained fourth: 8 lengths back.

But Joel Rosario bided his time perfectly. He swung Clairiere four-wide coming into the stretch, then relentlessly reeled in both new leader Search Results and Malathaat. The head victory gave Clairiere her second Grade 1 win and her first over her rival. It also came with a career-best 106 Beyer Speed Figure.

It was a huge win for her to finally come out on the right end of Malathaat, a mare that I have the greatest respect for and last years deserving 3-year-old Champion Filly, a relieved trainer Steve Asmussen told the New York Racing Association. We always believed that Clairiere could get it done and last time out she did. That meant a lot to us.

Asmussen said this was one of the most gratifying victories of his career. Quite the statement, coming from North Americas all-time winningest trainer.

Thats what I love about horse racing. The last race is an indication of what youre capable of, but it will not give you a head start on the next one, Asmussen said. You have to do it again. Malathaat beat her twice here last year and I expect to have two more runs against her here this year with the ultimate goal being the Breeders Cup Distaff. Were at a very good level right now, but well keep our eye on the prize, and thats year-end honors.

Those year-end honors rightfully belonged to Malathaat last year. That third in the Breeders Cup Distaff is the only time Malathaat finished outside the exacta in 10 races (7-2-1). Shes already north of $2 million in career earnings with plenty of high-profile, big-money races in front of her.

That includes the Grade 1 Personal Ensign Aug. 27 at Saratoga. Naturally, Clairiere is expected there as well, because both trainers see the Shuvee as the natural prep for that race.

Malathaat comes into the Shuvee never losing back-to-back races. She opened her 2022 with a three-quarter length victory as the 3/10 favorite in the Grade 3 Doubledogdare at Keeneland in April. Shell continue it in the Shuvee sporting blinkers. She breezed with the new gear in 49.22 seconds for four furlongs July 17.

Weve thought about putting blinkers on her for a long time and it was hard to do last year because she was in the midst of such a good season, Pletcher said. Weve felt like in both starts this year, she kind of lost focus at a certain stage of the race, so we decided to breeze her in blinkers and felt we got the desired effect that we were looking for.

Looking for a piece of the Shuvee board along with any attention are Crazy Beautiful and Exotic West. Kenny McPeeks Crazy Beautiful comes in off a runner-up at the Lady Jacqueline at Thistledown in Ohio. Shes run 18 times at 10 tracks in her career, amassing a 7-5-1 record and more than $1 million. But shes never been a factor against Malathaat or Clairiere.

Crazy Beautiful has been an overachiever. Shes accomplished a lot, McPeek said. Shes doing exceptionally well here and shes going to need to find another level to beat Malathaat and Clairiere. Even if she is third or better, I think its going to be worth the try.

Exotic West pulled off a 10/1 upset at the Top Flight Invitational at Aqueduct in April. But she bounced badly in her next start, finishing 14 lengths behind Super Quick in the Allaire DuPont Distaff as the 3/2 favorite.

Online gambling, too, has become a popular pursuit thanks to the top-quality offerings on the market from reputable online casinos and increased internet access. As things stand, the online gambling sector looks set to expand in coming years too. These days its no longer about heading down to your local casino to play the standard slot machine. Why bother? When the standard of offerings online is far superior.

The online slot games available nowadays allow players to win big while doing everything from enjoying a soundtrack from their favorite movie or escaping to some distant land. A great example and the slot we will be reviewing in this article is Dragon Pearls. The latest release from Booongo transports players to a mythical world of the Far East for a slot experience with a difference.

With Jackpot Jill Casinos $7,500 Match Bonus offer, we know you dont need much convincing to play this slot! But in this post, well provide you with all the insights on Dragon Pearl to get you excited about getting stuck into this game. So, here goes.

Fascinated by the mysticism of ancient China? Well then, Dragon Pearls: Hold & Win is the slot game for you. This slot offering from Booongo has a five-reel three-row video slot format. Youll be immersed in a land of riches where dragons hold great wealth. It will be up to you to play the game and discover where the dragon hides his precious pearls. Succeed at that, and you could find yourself walking away with up to a whopping 1000 times your original bet.

While you are there missioning to find the dragon pearls, dont forget to keep an eye out for scatters that will trigger a special free spins feature, which offers players eight freebies with only high-value symbols. Land on six or more bonus symbols to get access to a secret bonus game that allows you to collect instant wins that appear on pearls.

Dragon Pearls: Hold & Win offers players two exciting features which are worth being aware of if you are looking to win big. First up, we have the Bonus Game feature, which is triggered when you land six or more bonus symbols on the reels. If youre lucky enough to land six or more pearl scatters, you will start the Bonus Game and get yourself three free respins. While your bonus pearls will remain on the reels, only new pearl scatters can appear during the respins.

If you land more pearls, then the respin are reset to three again. If you want to win the grand jackpot, which is 1000 times the value of your bet, you need to play the bonus game up to the point where there are no more new pearl scatters on the reels, or youve filled all the cells with pearls. If you are unable to do this, the value of all the pearls youve landed on will be calculated to establish your total winnings. Some scatters also trigger a major or mini jackpot win, so if you land on either of these, youll be walking away with a little something extra too.

Another special feature of Dragon Pearls: Hold &Win is the free spins feature which is triggered when you land on three pot scatters on reels two, three, and four. Players get eight freebies when the high-paying icons make an appearance. So just land three more scatters when playing the free spin feature to get those eight extra freebies.

Lets be honest. While its fun to play a good slot and escaping to alternate worlds can also be magical, taking home some impressive winnings is the cherry on the cake, isnt it? When you play Dragon Pearls: Hold & Win, your maximum pay is set at 1000 times the value of your original bet. Well, that is if you pocket the grand jackpot.

Another way to access some sweet winnings is to play the bonus games or take advantage of the free spins feature, which could land you some pretty nice payouts simply due to the fact that

This only happens when the high-paying symbols appear on the reels.

With its impressively crisp visuals, a fitting soundtrack and exciting bonus features, Dragon Pearls: Hold & Win is an excellent slot game. Some may argue that this game isnt quite as good as some of Booongos other offerings, but each to their own. There are plenty of opportunities for players to take home decent wins.

Perhaps the lack of multipliers is a little bit of a letdown, and the free spin feature isnt really anything new for seasoned slot players. However, the bonus game is action-packed and a lovely extra feature to have! Wed definitely recommend giving Dragon Pearls: Hold & Win a shot because who knows, you may be walking off with the grand jackpot!!!

In recent years, Bitcoin and blockchain technology have significantly altered how we play, pay, and conduct business. It has a game-changing impact on commerce: online payments become faster, more secure, and mostly anonymous, and businesses expand their payment options, creating numerous growth opportunities.

Online gambling, for example, is one of the first industries to recognize Bitcoins potential as a payment solution and as a source of technology for developing exciting yet fair casino games. For many, the value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is in how they simplify casino payments for players.

Payments are fast, transparent, and come with low fees because it uses the blockchain and is decentralized. Furthermore, transactions are primarily anonymous, and crypto only requires your e-mail address.

But, aside from making gambling payments easier, did you know that Bitcoin and blockchain technology has given rise to a new generation of transparent, provably fair, and thrilling games? Yes, its happening in many online casinos, with the Bitcoin Crash money game being one example.

The Bitcoin Crash money game, available in most crypto casinos, provides a simple yet exciting way to gamble online: the player begins the game and waits for a cashout amount before the game crashes! Its a fun blockchain-based guessing game with a high payout potential thats also likely to be fair.

To steer them in the right direction, advertisers focused solely on socioeconomic factors for a long time. The club focused heavily on the age, salary, and education of its audience members as markers of future behavior. This center is genuinely beneficial there are a few variances in crowd behavior based on socioeconomics.

Socioeconomic data is helpful, but it is not an essential piece of information about your audience. For example, consider a group of women outside your casino. Assume you know their segment data: theyre all in their late 20s or mid-30s, educated, and in high-paying jobs. Do you understand why they are there?

Create a system that can help advertisers grasp the true motivations of their audience by showing the job that the potential customer is recruiting you for. Its critical to understand what your audience is looking for in a place and what job theyre employing you to do so that you may adjust your informing, marketing, and contributing appropriately.

Opt for a component-rich, genuinely accessible, durable, safe, and flexible site with an appealing UI/UX design that complements the brand. Ensure it gives players what they may expect when playing on your online casino.

The goal is to design an easy-to-use site with a seamless path and dropdown menus, making it easier for people to access important information on your site. Concentrate on adding important information near the logo at the top of your pages, such as upcoming events and games.

On the About page, you may provide specific information, such as your contact information. For example, showcasing a web-based gaming club may generate clients and payments, which are simple but effective expansion plan ideas. Furthermore, a sites navigation should always be simple to use.

You should also do in-depth research into the most recent gaming trends. Standard messaging, website and web-based media updates will keep your gamers interested. In addition, you might be able to attract new consumers by using meta labels and subsidiaries.

When these methods are correctly implemented, the advantages to your online casino may skyrocket.

Online casinos are rapidly evolving and changing. Web-based gambling, diversion inclinations, virtual and half occasions, e-sports, and virtual and expanded reality play a significant role in developing online casino environments.

MGA Games and R Franco continue to conquer online casinos in Spain with RF Angels - European Gaming Industry News

Eugene Fodor a native of Hungary and a spy for the U.S. during World War II later became a travel writer who wrote dozens of books with practical tips on visiting countless destinations.

The brand lives on at fodors.com, which this week published a list of The 12 Best Boardwalks in America.

And the winner is not a spot too many New Jerseyans might have guessed:

Atlantic Citys boardwalk is internationally famous, the Fodors article, or listicle, enthuses. It is said to be the worlds first and longest boardwalk dating way back to 1870. The structures original intent was to protect the nearby hotels from unruly ocean waves, but over time, as the boardwalk grew to its current length of 5.5 miles, it became an international entertainment hub.

Explore the high-end hotels and casinos like the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, or take a swing at Atlantic City Miniature Golf. Walk the adjacent piers, which offer visitors several additional attractions and shopping spots. Check out the Central Pier Arcade and Speedway for extensive choices of arcade games. At Steel Pier, take a ride on the carousel or the observation wheel overlooking the city. Nearby Garden Pier is the arts and cultural center of the boardwalk, featuring the Atlantic City Historical Museum and Atlantic City Art Center.

Fodors could have bolstered its case by noting upgrades that have been made in the past couple of years at all six Boardwalk casinos Hard Rock, Caesars, Ocean, Tropicana, Ballys, and Resorts.

Caesars, for instance, is undergoing a $200 million facelift that includes 750 renovated rooms and suites in the Centurion and Ocean Towers; new restaurants Nobu Atlantic City and Gordon Ramsay Hells Kitchen (a first on the East Coast for the TV star and chef); and upgrades to its hotel lobby, casino floor, and valet area along with what Caesars touts as a new outdoor pool experience.

Ballys, which is located next door to Caesars, has $100 million worth of upgrades including The Yard, an indoor and outdoor watering hole with daily concerts to attract passersby along the nations No. 1 Boardwalk. A slightly rotating Carousel Bar will gain the attention of hotel guests as they check in. Ballys also has matched Caesars with upgrades of 750 rooms.

Caesars Entertainment last year announced that Tropicana, one of its three AC properties, will receive $100 million in upgrades of its own although details have been hard to come by.

Hard Rocks nearly 2,000 rooms and Oceans nearly 1,400 rooms are only 4 years old, of course, so no need for sprucing up just yet. Even Resorts the Boardwalks smallest and oldest casino at age 44 has spent tens of millions on upgrades in the past few years.

Long Beach Boardwalk on Long Island claimed second place from Fodors, which lauded its quirky boutiques and unique eateries.

No. 3 is the fabled Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach Boardwalk, while No. 4 likely is off the radar for many The Floating Boardwalk of Couer dAlene, Idaho, which is more than a half-mile long, 12 feet wide, and 10 feet deep, with a 60-foot-long bridge.

The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade in South Carolina and the Carolina Beach Boardwalk one state to the north placed fifth and sixth, respectively.

The Ocean City Boardwalk in Maryland, ranked 7th, is popular with Northeasterners as are No. 8 Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk in Delaware and No. 9 Virginia Beach Boardwalk.

Heading back to the Pacific Coast, No. 10 is Mission Beach Boardwalk in San Diego. Navy Pier in Chicago no doubt ranks higher than No. 11 on many personal lists, while Kemah Boardwalk in Galveston Bay, Texas, grabbed the final spot.

The stubbornly high crime rate in Atlantic City undoubtedly has many state residents skeptical of its Boardwalks newly lofty status above many in-state competitors much less every peer across the U.S.

On nj.com, for instance, its 2018 ranking of the states Boardwalks placed Atlantic City a mere sixth behind those in Ocean City, Wildwood, Asbury Park, Seaside Heights, and Point Pleasant Beach.

The Atlantic City Boardwalk gets 3.5 stars on the Yelp review website.

Suzanne A from Philadelphia (5 stars) comments there: Atlantic City is so underrated. I love going to the beach here. Its free and only about an hour from Philly. The beach is clean. If youre not near the casinos, its not crowded and quiet.

Robert Charles S., Orlando, Fla. (3 stars): 1st this city is very dirty trash on streets, sidewalks, boardwalk no pride in their city at all. You figure with casinos and the money the city makes they clean it up. 2 it smells bad like rotten sewer or something. 3. The police arent nice especially to tourist. However there are some good restaurants to eat at.

Yelena R., Hightstown, NJ (2 stars): 2 stars here are just for the kids places because you can say, ok, there is this little option for the kids. Otherwise, I am sorry to say but AC is whos who of human disaster. The ENTIRE Boardwalk reeks of weed, the stores selling weed, cigarettes, vapes, whatever crap in that category are blasting music with profanities while people are walking by with children ...

Eric D, Cheektowaga, NY (5 stars): Atlantic City is class, fun, and fine things all rolled into one. The boardwalk is so cool and was the highlights of my trip to Atlantic City and New Jersey in general. There was so much to see and do and we loved every bit of it. The boardwalk was exceptionally well kept up and clean despite the billion people there daily and mountain of garbage at each trash can.

Atlantic City Boardwalk The Best In America? Fodors Thinks So - NJ Online Gambling

As the first Canadian province to legalize online casino gaming andsports betting, Ontarios attitude to gambling is changing. What are the expected effects?

Legalized Online Gambling in Ontario

Placing bets at online casinos and sportsbook sites has never been more popular due to theglobal online gambling industry undergoing rapid development over the last 10 years. Withthe industry generating a record-breaking turnover in 2021, more new legal online gamblingmarkets are opening up than ever before, especially in countries such as South Africa andCanada which have previously relied on offshore (rather than domestic) operators. Inparticular, the Canadian province of Ontario opened its first legal online gambling market inApril 2022, which has had a huge effect on the gambling culture and infrastructure in thecountry, as well as having a positive influence on the wider economy. Lets take a closer lookat the regulation of legalized online gambling in Ontario, including some of the knock-oneffects that Canadian gamers are likely to see in the near future.

More Visible iGaming Regulators

Dedicated online gambling regulators such as iGaming Ontario work with the Canadiangovernment (as a subsidiary of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO)) toprovide domestic gamers with a safe and reliable iGaming culture, ensuring that casino andsportsbook operators in the area honor their legal obligations. iGaming Ontario provides acomprehensive list of approved iGaming sites and offers in-depth support and assistance tonew operators hoping to set up in Ontario. If youre a Canadian gamer or youre thinking ofsetting up a business as an online casino operator, iGaming Ontario can provide you with allthe help and information you may need to play or operate safely and legally. iGamingOntario is responsible for regulating operators and granting operating licenses. Highly visibleand accessible regulators like iGaming Ontario can help to ease the transition into legalizedgambling in the country, with gambling amongst Canadians likely to increase due to the newlegislation.

More Tech-Focused Legislation

In recent years, the Canadian provinces have undergone some pretty monumental changesrelated to the passing of new legislation such as the French-modelled Bill 27: Working forWorkers Act 2021. Essentially, this Act enables workers to disconnect from worktechnology outside of business hours. In theory, Bill 27 should increase productivity in theworkplace and provide staff with a much-needed break from technology when theyre not onthe job. The passing of increasingly tech-savvy legislation like this Act is a sure indicator ofCanadas open-minded and liberal attitude towards technology, legislation, and wellbeing. Itseems highly likely that the legalization of online gambling in Ontario will encourage thepassing of similarly groundbreaking legislation in provinces across the country.

More Sportbook Betting Options

Before the C-218 Bill was passed, Canadian gamblers were only legally allowed to usesports betting sites using parlays, which are essentially spread bets in which the gamblerchooses multiple results, which must all be successful to warrant a win or cashout. WhileCanadian sports lovers could previously only make parlays or gamble on horse racinglegally, the launch of Ontarios first regulated sports betting market has changed everything.The previous federal ban on generic sports betting has now been lifted, with Ontario-basedgamblers able to place a wider range of bets such as future bets and single-game betting.

Ontario is a densely populated Canadian province, with approximately 14.57 million peopleliving and working in the area. Due to the new abundance of sportsbook betting sitesavailable in the province, Ontario is expected to generate around $800 million in grossrevenue from sports gambling in the next year. The obvious changes to sports bettinglegislation in Ontario have led to a much more diverse selection of operators to choose from.

Whether youre looking for a safe and legal homegrown sportsbook or offshore betting site,its now easier than ever before to place bets on your favourite sports in the Canadianprovince of Ontario.

A Wider Selection of iGaming Sites

Players are now able to access an incredible selection of reputable, fully tested Canadiancasino sites that have been given the green light by iGaming Ontario. The new nationalregulator has already granted legal market access to a wide range of top international onlinecasino and sportsbook platforms such as PointsBet, Rivalry, theScore, 888 Casino, andBet365. This means that players based in Ontario can now enjoy some of the most popularonline casinos on the international market and benefit from the same perks and bonuses asmany of their European and North American peers.

A Wider Selection of Online Casino Games

Of course, the rising number of new legal gambling sites in Canada has resulted in a markedimprovement in the diversity and quality of casino games on offer. Whereas players inOntario were previously limited to betting with parlays, gambling on horse racing, or playingstaple casino games, they are now inundated with casino gaming options including roulette,blackjack, baccarat, video poker, craps, and online slot machines. Canadian players canalso enjoy a wider selection of live casino and live dealer games in the country today,experiencing an authentic taste of a land-based casino from the comfort of your own homeon mobile.

More Mobile Games Available

The increasing availability of high-speed internet and relatively cheap smartphones (second-hand smartphone models are much more affordable than new first-generation devices), hasled to a revolution in online casino gaming worldwide. Whereas many gambling sites werepreviously only accessible via desktop browsers such as Goggle Chrome, the vast majorityof iGaming platforms today provide mobile-optimized versions of their sites including a rangeof games specially designed to be enjoyed on a mobile phone screen. Due to thelegalization of online gambling in Ontario, players in the province will now be able to choosefrom a more plentiful selection of mobile games that can be easily enjoyed when out andabout. This is great news for those Canadian gamers who enjoy gambling on the move, suchas on their morning commute or during their afternoon break.

More Crypto-Accessible Platforms

Widely tipped as the payment system of the future, cryptocurrencies are powered byblockchain technology and can be basically described as virtual currencies that are quicklyand easily transmitted across digital networks. Due to the rapid onset of blockchain and aninternational drive towards cashless economies, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are nowan extremely popular choice for countless online casinos and their members. Due to itsrelative safety and ease of use, cryptocurrency is now the favored method of makingdeposits and withdrawals for countless players across the world. In Canada, we havealready seen multiple crypto-casinos popping up since the legislation was put into place, andthe number of new crypto-enabled sites will only continue to grow.

Players often murmur questions amongst themselves, while choosing an online casino, about:

To address all of your queries, this reading will take inspiration from some stellar online casinos, such as Princess Casino Romania, to identify a typically efficient online casinos benefits to players from all over the world.

The importance of safety is critical for online practices, especially with online casinos because huge amounts of money is involved. The best online casinos, like Princess Casino Romania, undertake their duty of providing their valued customers with complete security in transactions and playing to the utmost extent.

They safeguard their websites with heavy-duty firewalls and other protective features, such as complete and complex encryptions, to secure the users from any malpractice.

Immensely successful online casinos offer you Visa and MasterCard payment options as well. Beneficial for you, the best casinos are known for their quick release of funds to the winner, taking a matter of minutes or hours, instead of several days or even weeks.

On average, top online casinos offer up to 6 games on their websites and applications. These include all gambling game types, including blackjack and slots. Since slots is the most commonly played game all over the world, several online casinos offer multiple options for slot games.

High-quality audio and video features in an online casino game increase its playability factor because players are increasingly receptive to high-caliber graphics as opposed to dated pixels of the past. Nowadays, online casinos offer graphics that are comparable to console games. Live casino offerings, offered by the finest, connect the player and dealers, live.

AOJND: The Romanian government is only taxing winnings of online gaming platforms, gaming operators are to contest - European Gaming Industry News

There are actually five horses in Saturdays featured Grade 1 CCA Oaks at Saratoga. But do not let yourself get bogged down by numbers.

Let yourself get bogged down by details. Because this years CCA Oaks marks only the third time in the last 25 years the top-two finishers from that years Kentucky Oaks will meet. So with that, let yourself get bogged down by the number two.

As in Secret Oath vs. Nest. The Kentucky Oaks winner vs. her game runner-up. These two are more than first-among-equals in the nine-furlong CCA Oaks. Theyre the two best 3-year-old fillies in a deep sophomore class.

Not to mention the two fillies who ran against the boys in the last two jewels of the Triple Crown. But were getting ahead of ourselves here.

When these two tangled in the Kentucky Oaks, Secret Oath found herself in eighth on the backstretch. But Luis Saez had matters in control. He wheeled Secret Oath four-wide approaching the far turn, seized the lead out of the turn and held off late-running Nest for a two-length victory.

Now, Secret Oath, who is 3-for-5 and unbeaten against her own sex, attempts to become the first filly to sweep the Kentucky Oaks-CCA Oaks double since Ashado in 2004. She would be the 15th filly pulling that off.

Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas already pulled that off withHall of Famer Open Mind in 1989. He was ecstatic about his fifth Kentucky Oaks win and first since Seaside Attraction in 1990.

Everything about it was perfect and were looking for that same trip again, Lukas told the New York Racing Association. Shes training so forwardly, Luis knows her and itll be a smaller field. I think the trip shouldnt be a factor.

When Lukas sent the daughter of Arrogate out in the Preakness Stakes, 15 days after her Oaks victory, the tripwasa factor. Secret Oath was forced to check coming out of the gate and endured a difficult and wide trip. She rallied from ninth and last on the backstretch, but finished fourth: 6 1/4 lengths behind winner Early Voting.

The trip never came up. A filly like that running against the colts, you need a good trip, Lukas said. You cant get into all that trouble and be that far back and still overcome it. She needed a trip like she got in the Kentucky Oaks. I really believed she was the best horse, but you cant mail it in. You have to prove it.

Thats what Nest nearly did in the Belmont Stakes. She finished three lengths behind stablemate and winner Mo Donegal. Not only did that keep Nest perfect hitting the board (4-2-1), but it continued her consistent form. Shes never been beaten by more than three lengths in any race.

You always want to just hope they come out of a race like that in good order, trainer Todd Pletcher said. She was so well-designed for the mile and a half that the race really didnt take much out of her. Pretty much everything that shes done since the Belmont has told us that shes ready to run back now as opposed to running another month.

Pletcher thought about running Nest in the 1 1/4-mile Alabama next month. Instead, hell try duplicating Banshee Breezes CCA Oaks-winning performance from 1998. That year, Banshee Breeze finished second to Keeper Hill in the Kentucky Oaks, but flipped the script in the CCA Oaks.

The only other time the Oaks exacta met in the CCA Oaks came five years ago. Oaks winner Abel Tasman nipped Elate by a head, with Oaks runner-up Daddys Lil Darling far back in fifth.

Morning Line (Jockey/Trainer)

Another detail worth pondering. This race will write a plot-filling chapter in who wins the Eclipse Award as Champion 3-Year-Old Filly. Three of the last six CCA Oaks winners later celebrated with an Eclipse Award: Songbird (2016), Abel Tasman (2017) and Monomoy Girl (2018).

The CCA Oaks is Saratogas fifth of 11 races Saturday.

CCA Oaks Provides Another Glimpse of Secret Oath vs.... - Online Gambling

West Ham United beat Paris Saint-Germain interest and should finalize the acquisition of Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo in the coming hours. Eintracht Frankfurts Filip Kostic is also close to joining the East London club.

West Ham will pay Sassuolo $36 million, with another six coming in add-ons if performance clauses are met. The Italian club will also keep 10% of a future transfer fee. Scamacca also interested PSG this summer, but the French club thought the asking price was too high and refused to bid.

Scamacca scored 16 goals in 36 Serie A games last season at Sassuolo. He is on seven caps for Italy without scoring. The 23-year-old is set to become West Hams fourth recruit this summer after Nayef Aguerd, Alphonse Areola and Flynn Downes.

Once the Scamacca deal becomes official, the English club will focus on another offensive reinforcement. Frankfurts Filip Kostic is also close to sign, according to transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano. The 29-year-old Serbian is valued at around $15 million by Europa League winners Frankfurt.

Amadou Onana from Lille and Armando Broja from Chelsea also remain targets for West Ham, who lost the chance to re-sign Jesse Lingard though. The former Manchester United attacker agreed terms with newly promoted Nottingham Forest, despite early indication he was going to play again for West Ham after a successful loan spell in the 2020-21 campaign.

The Hammers finished seventh in the Premier League last season and also played the semifinals of the Europa League, only losing to eventual winners Eintracht. The bookies predict another consistent campaign for David Moyes and his boys.

West Ham is at -150 for a top 10 finish. A top six presence will be a tough job for WHU next season, the bookmakers believe. Newcastle at +220 is better placed, with Leicester at an identical +450. Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal are the favorites to head the table at the conclusion of the season.

In 2022-23, West Hams Champions League dreams lost fuel in the last third of the Premier League fixtures list. A seat inside the top four for West Ham at the end of the following campaign is now at +1400.

At European stage, West Ham will compete in the UEFA Conference League, the third-most important continental competition. Betting on the outright winners of the cup is not yet active, but WHU sit among the early favorites to lift the trophy in 2023.
