Mysterious power outage KOs casinos in
Vegas
04/12/2004 09:59 AM

Our pals at Gawker forward this tip from reader Audrey Bath about a bizarre power outage affecting casinos and hotels in Las Vegas for the past couple of days -- sounds uncannily like a scene from a recent movie filmed at the affected property:

I thought you might be amused to learn that Las Vegas' premiere hotel, the 5-star Bellagio Hotel, lost all power at 2:30am Sunday (Easter) and power has not yet been restored. As of right now, there is no access to their website, and no updated information. It is THE big story in Las Vegas.

No definitive word yet on why no power, but it appears a truck hit a transformer behind the hotel, on the new Frank Sinatra Drive. The hotel is said to have been 2/3 full (2,000 guests) and thousands of employees have not been able to go to work. All of the hotels' restaurants are closed, every gaming table and slot machine is dark, even the fountains are not operating. There are no elevators, no escalators, no Cirque du Soleil. Only the Bellagio Hotel is affected by the outage, and generators have not kicked in. (It's eerily like "Ocean's Eleven" which was filmed in part at the hotel 3 years ago.)

Some guests have insisted on remaining at the dark hotel; all others have been transferred to the "sister properties" like the Mirage, Treasure Island and MGM Grand. My husband is a chef at Picasso, the top restaurant in Las Vegas, located at the Bellagio, and he was told not to return to work tomorrow because power will not be back on. Power is not expected to be restored until possibly late Monday night. It's a very weird scene.

Online casinos can't stop pokerbots


Online casinos can't stop pokerbots 09/22/2004 10:22 AM
Cory Doctorow: Ed Felten's posted a fascinating rumination on the impossibility of excluding bots from online poker games, and what that means for online casinos:
By reiterating their anti-bot and anti-collusion rules, and by claiming to have mysterious enforcement mechanisms, online casinos may be able to stem the tide of cheating for a while. But eventually, bots and collusion will become the norm, and lone human players will be driven out of all but the lowest stakes games.

But there is another strategy. An online casino could encourage bots, and even set up bots-only games. The game would then become not a human vs. human card game but a human vs. human battle between bot designers for geekly mastery. I'll bet there are plenty of programmers out there who would like to give it a try.

Online Casinos Advertising Over Gamblers
Anonymous Page

It's not entirely clear what's happening here, but people are saying that when they visit the Gambler's Anonymous website in Australia, they're receiving pop-up ads for online casinos. As you might imagine, this is not considered appropriate. However, I'm confused as to what's actually happening. The folks running the Gambler's Anonymous site say that they have no control over the pop-ups, which wouldn't make sense if it's their site. Also, I visited the site and there don't seem to be any pop-ups at all. About the only thing I can guess is that these pop-ups are being caused by the type of insidious adware that we've been talking about quite frequently today. It would be nice if the report had more details.
