In January, I had an incident at the Harrah’s Cherokee casino that I wrote about. I started my trip by taking a $20,000 marker, consisting of eight $2,500 TITO tickets and began to play $5 Deuces Wild. When I hit four deuces, I got two more of the same size . When I hit royals, I collected eight more.
It was a very successful trip and at the end, I had far more than eight of these tickets. I had signed for every one of them. At the end of the trip when I cashed out, the cage said one of the $2,500 tickets had been cancelled. They weren’t going to pay it until they figured it out.
Eventually, it got straightened out and I got paid. It took a bit longer than I would have preferred, but all’s well that ends well.
In April, I returned to Cherokee. I started my trip as I did before — taking out a $20,000 marker asking for $2,500 tickets. It took a bit longer than usual — the one ticket-making machine was being used to create tickets for somebody else — but eventually I was summoned to the window and my tickets were ready.
When you get these tickets at Cherokee, you need to sign for them. The ticket number of each ticket is recorded, and to the right of the ticket numbers, it’s typical to draw a slanted line and sign on the top of that line. This means you’re signing for all of them.
I was presented the sheet to sign and I noticed there were ten entries. It doesn’t take a math major to realize that ten tickets of $2,500 add up to $25,000 rather than $20,000. I looked at it closely. Had the tickets been made for $2,000 each instead, the amount of money represented by the tickets would have been $20,000. This was not what I had requested exactly, but certainly acceptable.
But no. The tickets were each for $2,500 and there were ten of them. I know this is a mistake, but I take a few seconds to ponder my next move. I was pretty sure I was going to refuse to take the extra two tickets, but I wanted to consider my options. Had I signed and taken the tickets as presented, I would have gotten a $5,000 unintended bonanza. But one that was well documented. Should the audit department be paying attention at all, in a day or two I might well get a tap on the shoulder and be asked for the return of $5,000.
I could feign ignorance, of course. After all, a lot of people sign things without doing all the calculations. I could easily say, “I didn’t really count things. I assumed it was correct.” They couldn’t prove I was lying — but I didn’t want to be under suspicion of “taking a shot.”
My philosophy on keeping an unexpected windfall goes something like this: “If I get a windfall that can’t be traced back to me, keep it. If it can be traced back to me, give it back. If one individual cashier or other employee will have to make up the shortfall, don’t take the windfall. Probably somebody working for wages needs the money more than I do.” Another factor is the last time there was a dispute over tickets at this casino, it ended up going my way. I know things can’t always go my way.
So, I spoke up. The cashier took the tickets back and went away. He returned shortly with eight $2,500 tickets and a new form for me to sign.
I don’t know how he went from 10 tickets down to eight. If he just cancelled two of them, I couldn’t be positive that the two he cancelled had the same numbers as the two that were no longer on the list I signed.
So I decided that if I hit jackpots before I went through this $20,000, I would get tickets in sizes other than $2,500 so I could make sure I used up the original ones I received. If I got a royal, I’d ask for ten $2,000 tickets. If I get four deuces, I’d ask for four $1,250 tickets. This will make it easier to identify the original tickets and make sure I didn’t try to sell them back.
This ended up being a losing trip, but at the end of the day I’m happy with the way I handled things.
It was only a matter of time before Wisconsin’s Josh Reichard joined Maurice Hawkins at the top of the all-time World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) Ring list, and he has done it. Reichard won a record-tying 14th Circuit ring, his second in the past year, by taking down the $1,700 buy-in WSOPC Grand Victoria Main Event in Chicago on April 17 for $253,073.
Reichard got through a field of 954 runners in the Main Event that created a prize pool of $1.5 million and defeated Arizona’s Jordan Lowery to win the record-tying ring and deny Lowery a first ring of his own. Others at the final table including Michigan’s Ariel Kotzen (3rd – $115,201) and Illinois natives Nicola DiTrapani (4th – $85,825), Ryan Julius (7th – $38,072) and George Dietz (9th – $23,513).
“It feels good, I’ve been on a good run lately,” Lowery told WSOP after his victory. “To be honest, I really don’t care too much about records but this one is kind of cool.”

Two Wisconsin Guys
Reichard came close to winning a 14th ring in February at the WSOPC Hammond stop, where he finished runner-up in two $400 buy-in events that brought him respective scores of $32,534 and $22,523. It’s only fitting that he saved the 14th ring for a much bigger score, one that ranks as the biggest cash of his career.
While he already had plenty of poker accolades to brag about, including a spot in the elusive Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Hall of Fame, the accomplishment is a special one for Reichard. He pointed out that he and all-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth (16 bracelets) both hail from The Badger State, a serendipitous occurrence that makes the victory all the more meaningful.
Phil Hellmuth
“On (the WSOP) website, there’re pictures of all the record holders and Phil Hellmuth holds the bracelet title and I thought it’d be cool if my picture was next to his because we are two Wisconsin guys,” he said. “I’m sure Maurice’s picture will stay on there right now, but that just keeps me motivated to get there one day.”
Will Reichard Pass Hawkins?
Now that Reichard has tied Hawkins in first on the all-time Circuit ring list, the question becomes whether he will be able to surpass the Florida grinder.
Hawkins won his 14th ring in January 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down live poker across the US. In the years since then, he has had several runner-up finishes to be denied a record-extending 15th ring.
Most recently, Hawkins finished second in the WSOPC Cherokee $2,200 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller in February for $44,205.
Meanwhile, Reichard himself has had his share of close calls since winning his 13th ring in the WSOPC Horseshoe Council Bluffs Main Event in September 2022.
Josh Reichard
Reichard told WSOP he has no plans on slowing down and will continue to grind in search of yet another Circuit ring.
“If someone is playing well and running well, they have confidence and things are just going their way but if they’re on a bad streak, it seems like they just can’t win a hand for months,” he said, “so I’m going to ride this wave while it’s high and see if I can get a little streak going.”
Fedor “CrownUpGuy” Holz is no stranger to high-stakes poker tournaments and here he is battling against Russia’s Viktor Kudinov as part of the Triton Poker Cyprus series in September 2022.
Fedor’s style is known to be extremely aggressive and he puts his opponents in extremely tricky situations often having to call all-in for their tournament life.
In this hand from a $30,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed final table, Holz opts to raise from the small blind with six-four offsuit with a covering stack. When there are payout implications and you have a large, stack you should be raising a very wide range to put pressure on the small and medium stacks. Kudinov in this hand only has 22 big blinds which means he will be one of the shorter stacks left in the field.
The action really picks up on the turn when Fedor decides to start bluffing with just six high. Kudinov only has ten-high and is facing a bet on the river. Can he sniff out the bluff in this Triton poker tournament?
Back to the preflop action with blinds of 50,000/100,000/100,000, Holz raised to 240,000 with 6♦4♣. I like this play given that Kudinov only has 22 big blinds and there are payout implications that mean he will have to play tight. Holz should be raising incredibly wide from the small blind, which he does here.
Kudinov in the big blind then called with 10♣9♠, which is a little loose but a call that I would probably make as well.
The flop landed Q♥2♣K♥ and Holz checked. I like Holz’s check because his hand is absolute trash and Kudinov is going to have a strong range that connects well with this flop when he calls in the big blind. I think Holz can reasonably check-fold.
Kudinov checked as well with his gutshot, which I think is the right play given that he doesn’t want to put more money in the pot given the payout implications.
Fedor Holz
The turn brought the K♠ and Holz bet 175,000 with his six-high. I like this bet after Kudinov checks back on the flop since Holz will sometimes have checked the flop with hands like a queen that will get folds from Kudinov.
Kudinov then decided to call with his gutshot and ten-high, which I think is the only play that makes sense given his equity and the fact that he is actually ahead of some of Holz’ low-card bluffs.
The A♣ river completed that board and Holz put his opponent to the test with a bet of 390,000 for around half-pot. I’m not sure about this one because I don’t think Holz has a lot of AxXx in his range. I also don’t know if he would go for super thin value with a queen. I would have preferred if Holz bet bigger when bluffing with six-high.
What gives you the best feeling at the poker table?
Big Fold
Hero Call
Sick Bluff
With action on Kudinov, he did not immediately fold his ten-high and instead thought about a call, which he eventually made. He must’ve put all of the pieces together and realized the Holz likely had a king or nothing.
This could have gone horribly wrong if Holz had bet the turn with ace-high or decided to go for thin value on the river, and I suspect he will actually do that some of the time.
Ten-high was good in this situation and Kudinov chipped up nicely at the Triton High Roller final table.

If you travel the world, ride share services like Uber, Lyft and others have become an invaluable tool to navigate new cities, but – as with all services – there are bad apples who seek to rob customers with a grab-bag of mini-scams.
This is far from a comprehensive list of cons associated with ride share providers but as always, whenever traveling, pay special attention to how much you are being charged and be aware you might fall into a well-practiced, inescapable trap without doing anything wrong.
The Taxi Tax
A friend once told me he expected to be ripped off at least once in any foreign city by crooked taxi drivers.
Perhaps he took a lot more taxis than I did but my experience is that it only happens from time to time and usually when I have failed to take precautions or pay attention to what’s happening around me.
Take Atocha railway station in Madrid for example.
A taxi from there to Plaza Mayor is not an enormous amount but one Sunday, with family, I got into a cab and on arrival was overcharged by more than double!
The driver used a technique I had experienced before, where he stopped traffic behind him to apply more pressure to me to act quickly.
The last time this happened was over 20 years ago and the scenario was identical but on that occasion, I was on my own and happy to put up a fight until local police intervened.
Thankfully, they sent the driver on his way once the police officer learned what he was trying to charge me.
This time, there were no helpful officers of the law, and I was with my kids who didn’t need to see me get into another argument with a scamming taxi driver (I once faced off with an aggressive New York driver who made a blatant attempt to take us on a tour of Manhattan instead of going directly to our hotel) so I paid up and spent the rest of the afternoon fuming.
That’s the problem with this type of con: It’s a trap that takes full advantage of your situation and offers almost no way out unless you are willing to cause a traffic jam, start a fight or in some cases, get arrested (local gendarmes are not always so helpful to out-of-towners).
Scams such as overcharging or taking tourists for a longer ride are not very sexy but are commonplace in many locations and we can all fall foul of a dishonest driver.
Sadly, there’s not a lot one can do unless you can prove the driver is scamming you.
?R. Paul Wilson On: How To Avoid Getting Scammed On Vacation
The Lisbon Switch
A more sophisticated cash scam in Lisbon took advantage of a well-engineered misunderstanding where the driver would receive a 20, passed from the back seat by unwary passengers.
The driver would then switch the 20 (unseen by his passengers) and hold up a 10 while saying something in Portuguese.
This caused tourists to either assume they handed over a 10 instead of a 20 and correct that “mistake” OR challenge the driver by asserting they gave him a 20 not a 10.
And here was the genius of this ploy: If the passenger corrected their “mistake” and handed over a 20, the driver made an extra 10 euros but if his passengers were certain they gave 20 from the outset, the driver (in broken English or French or German) would say “I only have this – no change!” as if he had been holding up the 10 to illustrate he only had large bills and no coins to make change with!
The result of this cleverly-engineered confusion was that people would often be embarrassed for suspecting the driver and let them keep the change!
Rideshare Risks
Image: Paul Hanaoka/Unsplash
Personally, I use ride share services like Uber and Lyft all over the world and while I believe they are an excellent modern convenience for travelers, users must exercise caution whenever they use them in unfamiliar places.
Rideshare problems range from questionable (and annoying) practices to outright fraud and on rare occasions, real danger to passengers.
These are not the norm but from place to place, problems can be more or less common depending on multiple factors such as local laws and enforcement of ride share rules.
Removing cash from the equation and paying a large company through trusted payment portals would seem to protect us from many types of fraud but some drivers have found ways to add unwarranted fees or penalty payments that can be difficult to challenge.
Wet Seats And Dented Doors
Passengers in multiple countries have encountered the “damage scam” where they are sent a claim from the driver shortly after their ride with a photograph that claims the customer accidentally or willfully caused some damage to upholstery or bodywork.
I find this scam interesting since users who complain about it often seem credible and even report receiving photos of damage taken during the daytime when the ride happened at night and the claim was sent immediately after, while it was STILL dark!
I’ve seen enough of these to be sure some drivers may be taking advantage but how many times can one driver claim passenger damage or cleaning fees before the ride-share company flags them as suspicious?
Certainly if a driver’s door is dented, he or she could get away with charging a customer for the repair even if they had nothing to do with it and it is not easy to claim back funds deducted as the result of such a claim.
Multiple ride-share customers have reported being charged large sums for damage they didn’t do with scant or suspicious evidence provided by the driver and typically the ride-share company sides with the driver meaning claims are rarely refunded.
One victim was able to prove that a photograph of “vomit” used to deduct $150 from his credit card was taken at an entirely different time and location thanks to the geotag on the image file BUT the company still refused to respond until he took his story to the local news and the driver was suspended.
Some people recommend taking a photo of the seats before you leave a car to prove they weren’t soiled in any way OR to take a picture of any stains you might notice when getting into the car (after the ride, it’s already too late).
I’m not sure either of these precautions are practical or effective but any local authority that permits ride share companies to operate should ensure they police their own drivers to weed out any bad apples.
Rule Breakers
Less costly but no less annoying are the drivers who flaunt company rules with regard to cleanliness, speed, safety and pickup or drop-off of passengers.
For example, drivers can’t see their destination until the last minute and can only cancel a couple of times before being penalized but it seems to happen a lot in certain cities whenever I book a short ride.
If you’ve ever been to the impromptu nightclub known as the ride-share pickup zone at Las Vegas airport on a busy night, you can expect to have several of your booked rides cancel at the very last minute if your journey isn’t far enough.
In these cases, the driver would rather cancel and go around again in the hope of picking up a more lucrative fare.
There also seems to be a way that drivers can beat the system once they realize the ride isn’t worth their time.
I assume that on some apps the destination is revealed as the driver gets close to their pickup and at that moment they can veer in a different direction and cause the pickup time to jump on the passenger’s app.
If you’ve ever watched a driver get close and then turn off in another direction (increasing their arrival time) then perhaps they’re trying to dump your ride or force a cancellation.
In some cases this can incur a charge meaning the driver gets paid without having to give anyone a ride.
In other words, a rogue driver can make money purely by driving in circles AWAY from the pickup location!
The Other Side
There’s another side to this issue and it’s with you, the passenger.
Many drivers wisely employ dash cams that also record inside the vehicle and YouTube is littered with videos of nasty, petulant, entitled, and violent passengers who damage cars, attack drivers and act like assholes as if the driver isn’t another human being who deserves respect.
Driver’s scams do happen but if you suspect something or have a concern or a request (such as a particular route) for goodness sake, be polite, kind and patient.
An issue of real concern is driver behavior and driving style.
Always issue a complaint if the driver is needlessly aggressive to you or other drivers on the road and definitely complain if they drive like maniacs!
Even if the driver is rude or nasty or causes other problems, wait until you are safely out of the car and deal only with the ride share company when you have a genuine complaint.
The 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour Monte Carlo is fast approaching, kicking off on April 26. The EPT has been visiting Monte Carlo for years, and this year’s edition has the potential to be the most memorable yet, with a large number of participants expected. The exclusive principality on the Mediterranean Sea is sure to attract poker players from far and wide this spring.
However, as always, EPTs are not just about poker. The EPT will provide a full range of activities for players and their guests, ensuring that there is always something to do, whether you are at the poker table or not.
Here is a glimpse of what you can expect during the event.
Helicopter Tours of Monaco – Daily
During the EPT Monte Carlo, you have the chance to experience the thrill of touring Monaco in a helicopter. Every day, six slots are made available for players and guests to take advantage of this unique opportunity. This is sure to be a popular and remarkable experience that you wouldn’t want to miss out on. To participate, ensure that you sign up at the PokerStars Travel desk.
Get Fast & Furious with Super Car Rides – Daily
Monaco is a paradise for individuals who are passionate about speedy and luxurious cars. Every vehicle that drives by is a loud, fuel-consuming powerhouse that can hardly wait to zoom around Monte Carlo’s iconic racetrack.
As part of the EPT experience, PokerStars is providing players and guests with the opportunity to hop into a supercar and enjoy a 30-minute ride. Each day, a Lamborghini and a Ferrari will be parked outside, ready for you to take the wheel and experience the joys of driving these magnificent cars.
Monaco Bus Tours – Daily
If you desire to fully appreciate Monaco’s breathtaking sights instead of just glimpsing them in a flash, the ideal option is to embark on a city bus tour. You can obtain a ticket for the hop-on, hop-off bus through PokerStars Travel and explore Monaco at your own pace.
Monaco is a small place, but every corner is worth exploring. The bus tour takes you to several famous locations, such as Casino Square, the Japanese Garden, and a significant portion of the Monte Carlo Grand Prix racetrack. Additionally, you get to visit the charming old town, where you can find the exceptional Oceanographic Museum.
Visit Monaco’s Princes Palace – Daily
Monaco is home to several luxurious residences, but none compare to the official dwelling of the Prince of Monaco – a palace. Although receiving an invitation for tea might be out of the question, you can still explore the Grand Apartments and take in the palace’s opulence.
To access the palace, simply ask for a ticket at the PokerStars Travel desk. This provides you with an exclusive opportunity to glimpse into the extravagant lifestyle of the wealthiest residents of Monaco. The palace is situated on a hill, offering a breathtaking view of the entire Principality and the sea, making it an excellent location to explore.
Players Party
This year’s EPT Monte Carlo Players Party will be held at the picturesque April Jardin of the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel. The location is perfect, with the Mediterranean Sea gently washing against the cliffs below. The entertainment for the night will be provided by the performers from the “Planète Vapeur” Circus, followed by our in-house DJ Zoya, who will spin some amazing tracks to keep the party going till dawn.
As usual, there will be an open bar and plenty of food to satisfy your cravings. Everyone is welcome to join in on the festivities. Just grab your wristbands from the PokerStars Travel desk and prepare for an unforgettable night of excitement and fun.
Spin The Wheel Prizes
At the EPT Monte Carlo, players are always given the opportunity to Spin the Wheel and win a PokerStars branded prize. However, the offerings at Monte Carlo are particularly noteworthy.
PokerStars has secured tickets to the 2023 Monaco E-Prix, which is the Formula E race that will take place on the world-renowned race track on May 6th. On this day, the fastest electronic cars will race around the legendary road circuit, coinciding with the EPT Main Event final table. These tickets will be the grand prize for those who spin the wheel in Monte Carlo.
Apart from the tickets, other prizes include helicopter and supercar rides, free massages, and PokerStars merchandise. To qualify for a wheel spin, players must complete a brief survey about their experience at EPT Monte Carlo. This survey is an essential tool for event planners to evaluate what aspects of the tour are successful and what requires improvement. The prizes are offered as a token of appreciation for the valuable feedback.
A businesswoman who gambled away over £3.5m ($4.3m) and accumulated significant debt doing so has avoided prison time. Juliana Posman gambled on German DAX stock exchange movements, lying to creditors regarding her debts when attempting to avoid bankruptcy.
The 43-year-old Posman was found guilty of making a false representation, but will not face any prison time. The judge gave her a 12-month prison sentence that will be suspended for 18 months. She will have to do 200 hours of unpaid work and go to 20 hours of gambling addiction rehab.
also reportedly borrowed £2.5m ($3.1m) from two major businessmen
Posman married into the famous Forte hotel family. Her husband gave her significant sums of money, but she had also reportedly borrowed £2.5m ($3.1m) from two major businessmen in London. Eventually, her husband found out about these loans when the businessmen approached him. They were told that Forte would guarantee the loans.
She spent the money spread betting on the German stock exchange movements. After splitting up from her husband, Posman was looking at bankruptcy due to the significant debts. The businesswoman entered an individual voluntary arrangement with the creditors to try to avoid that fate.
The court heard how Posman attempted to gamble her way out of the situation rather than coming clean. She did not declare to creditors £91,746 ($113,971) in debt she owed to CMC Spread Bet and she kept betting with another company.

There are also mini-features based on each main South Park character, which trigger Stacked Wilds, as well as Overlay Wilds and multipliers linked to each of the foul-mouthed kids.

Overall, payouts aren’t quite as big as they could be, but the fun quotient is off the chart as you feel almost as if you’re watching a South Park episode as you play.

Who is this game for?
This is a great game to travel in time and discover what online slots used to be before the online Casino boom.

To be clear, let me state what I am not offering here:
ways to get rich playing casino games
tips to win real money instantly at these games
systems that will make you a winner
It’s not easy (if now downright impossible) to win real money gambling online, and you always need to be aware of the fact that, in the long run, the house always wins.
Online Slots for Real Money
There are a lot of free slots to play for real money with no deposit required – but they are not all equal.
And I am not talking about gameplay, graphics, or features. I am talking about the chances you get to win when you spin the reels.
Different Slots come with different Return to Player numbers (RTP), and you need to make sure you know all the RTPs well enough always to pick the right slot machine.
Let me help you.
Play These Slots to Win Real Money
First, let’s go with a quick fix.
This is the list of the best free slots for real money you can play. The list is based on the games’ RTPs so – that’s not just me thinking these are good games.
If you are a complete beginner, you can also skip this list of slots for real money and head straight to the Staburst slot.
It’s probably the best game to discover how to win online with a no deposit bonus.
Best Real Money Slots to Play Online
A high RTP is important if you want to a chance to win when you play slots online. Knowing this, let’s look at what are the best real money slots you should play online.
When you click on a game, you’ll be redirected by one of our partners that offer that real money slot in your country. All the gaming sites you find on PokerNews are licensed and allowed to offer gambling games online.
Best Real Money Online Casinos
Now that you know how to choose the right slots and how mathematics can help you while at a casino, you only miss one essential part:
You need to know what are the best real money casinos to play games online. if you’re reading this from one of the US regions that allows online gambling, you can’t get better than FanDuel Casino for online slots – both in terms of selection and quality. Honorable mentions should also go to PokerStars Casino and BetMGM Casino, who both provide a fantastic selection of games to spin on and win real money.
What about UK players? Well for slots you’re also well-catered for with the online casinos present in the UK. We like 888casino for their dedication to excellent gaming software, and it’s worth looping in PartyCasino and bet365 Casino for the variety of online slot gameplay they are providing to UK players.
If you want to go one stage further, take a wander over to our list of the best online casinos for slots players.
If you’re in a location where real money online casino isn’t an option, then you still have the chance to play via Social Casino sites such as Chumba Casino and LuckyLand Slots.
Wherever you choose to play, there are some key points you need to keep in mind when you decide to open a casino account to play real money games.
The license
Withdrawal methods
Slots offer
Mobile Casino
Let me explain to you why all this matters.
The License Is Everything
The site you play on needs to be a safe one. And the site is secure only when an independent authority says it is.
Otherwise, your money is not safe.
The world-leading authorities are the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). Any Casino lincensed by one of these two bodies (or even better: by both!) is 100 percent safe.
A license by the Curaçaco Govrenment is a valid alternative, too. They have been regulating the gambling industry since 1998, and they know how to separate the scam from the legit ones.
Withdrawals
If you win something, you want to be able to withdraw your money – right?
That’s why you want to make sure you choose a Casino that offers the most convenient method for you. My go-to payment method for deposits and withdrawals is Skrill and so I play only at Skrill Casinos. But yours might be different, especially depending on the country you live in.
Only choose the site that offers a withdrawal method you already use, so that you are familiar with the entire process from the start.
Slot Games Available
Although it seems that most casinos offer the same slots, it’s not true. That’s why you need to check what games are featured on a platform before you make a deposit.
You know that looking at the RTP is the best way to start. The next time you want to try a real money Casino site, have a look at the games they offer and search for the slots with the highest RTP.
If they have them, you can play.
Mobile Slots
While this is not strictly connected to prizes, it feels a little ridiculous to pick a non-mobile friendly casino site in 2023.
The look-and-feel of some mobile real money slots is just amazing, and there’s no reason you should choose to play at a casino that doesn’t let you try that.
So – Which Casinos Should You Choose?
If you got till here, you deserve the names of the top real money casinos available right now. All these sites:
Are licensed in your country
Offer fast withdrawals
Feature LOTS of slots
Are great mobile casinos

Japan has approved an incredible $8.1 billion (1.08 trillion yen) deal for a resort to be built in Osaka. This will be the countries first ever casino, following a recent law that was passed in 2018 to legalise gambling in the country.
The project has many backers. The U.S casino operator MGM Resorts and Japanese based ORIX Group both own a 40% stake each, and a further 20 companies share the additional 20% share. The Osaka IR Project, as it is known will predominantly be managed by both MGM and ORIX.
However, as groups such as MUFG Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp will also be providing significant funds, they will also be contributing to the development, according to the local government.
The plans were submitted in Osaka last April and have been approved in hopes of boosting tourism in the country following a lack of visitors over the past few years, due to the Covid outbreak. This large-scale casino resort will be built in the western city of Osaka, and is hoped to be unveiled in 2029.
The aim of this resort is to target both domestic as well as international visitors, generating roughly 500 billion yen in yearly revenue. The attractive seeks to bring in over 20 million annual guests which will tap into the previous untouched casino market in Japan. Fumio Kishida, the country’s Prime Minister has also been noted saying that he hopes it will gain recognition for Japan’s beautiful offerings.
The History of Gambling in Japan
Prior to 2018, casinos, both public and private were illegal in Japan. A resort law, passed in 2018 allowed for certain table games to become available at establishments whose main purpose was to attract tourists. Previously Japan only had games such as lotteries, pachinko and race betting that were available to be played by the general public.
This new law does however require Japanese residents to pay 6,000 yen for entry to casinos and are limited in attendance to around 10 times per month. International attendees are allowed in for free and are not subject to the same limitations. This is part of the new scheme to increase tourist spending, growing the economy around the country.
This has resulted in some pushback from locals in Osaka who oppose the new law and are split on whether or not it will benefit their community. This is due to the country’s history with gambling addictions and crime. A residential vote did however favour the proposal, enabling this project to go forward, and a document from MGM allocated $10.5 million (1.4 billion yen) to be spent of gambling dependence resources.
Upcoming Resort Features
The casino resort is scheduled to be open to the public in 2029 and will include a wide range of amenities including a hotel, a theatre, an art museum, a shopping mall, and a conference centre. The resort will also be close to other tourist attractions in Osaka such as Universal Studios Japan.
This large-scale complex will also have a helicopter pad for the more wealthier clientele, and will incorporate a ferry terminal for those visiting via water.
This project has also paved the way for a similar resort in Nagasaki to seek approval. 2029 could be the start of a booming new industry for Japan. We will have to wait and see!

This is because these bonuses allow players to effectively ‘try out’ that online casino, without depositing any of their own money. You will still need to sign up to these casinos as a new player, but generally this is a quick process and once registered, you can take advantage of these no deposit bonus offers to find the casino and games to suit your playing.

As you’d expect, deposit bonuses are the exact opposite of no deposit, so you receive a bonus upon making a deposit with an online casino. These can vary, from credits to use with the casino, a certain amount of free play added to your account, or free spins to use on specific games.
Like all bonuses shown on this page, we’ve done our research on the top US online casino sites and found the best deposit bonuses available now. Where a bonus code is required to activate the offer this is included, along with other details, in the table below:

Sign Up Bonus Codes and Bonuses
All the offers you find on this page are sign-up bonus promotions, meaning you get them when you register an account at a casino website.
Some of these sign-up bonus offers require a bonus code, and others don’t. To make it easier for you to know what is what, we specify the bonus code in the description of each offer.
If you don’t see a bonus code there, it means you don’t need one.
How to Use the Latest Casino Bonus Codes
Don’t jump on the first casino bonus codes you find online. Before you register an account and claim a welcome bonus – you need to gather some information about the casino.
This works for all the no deposit bonus options, too.
Before you play, you need to know all the details of your preferred casino offer, not only look at the big number of free money or free spins they promise.
You also need to know the terms and conditions connected to the bonus you are about to request.
This used to be one of the most daunting tasks for all casino bonus-seekers. It took time, and it was incredibly boring.
That’s why we decided to create this page.
Finding the top casino bonuses should not be difficult. So we added details about the terms and conditions and wagering requirements of each offer. You find them on our casino reviews and all the pages we link to from here.
We also got rid of most casino bonus codes, too!
Whenever a casino really needs a bonus code, we add it here. But before we do, we try all our channels to remove them and include all the latest bonus codes right on our links.
So you get your bonus even if you don’t remember what bonus code you should use.

Day 4 of PokerNews Cup Brings Out More Large Fields, Big Winners
Thursday, April 13, was another exciting day of poker action in the PokerNews Cup on Global Poker. There were tournaments both for Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins players, and each event once again drew a large crowd.
We’ll start things off with a recap of PokerNews Cup Qualifier 04— GC 11,000 No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack, which had GC 4,000,000 guaranteed. The winner automatically advanced to the PokerNews Cup GC 100,000,000 final later this month, and that individual is none other than “SamBJammin,” who beat out a field of 353 players to earn GC 765,600 on top of that series finale ticket.
There were additional winners of note, including the runner-up, “IBullet,” who collected GC 570,000. The third-place finisher was “Josiahsky” (GC 420,000). In fourth place was our very own PokerNews Stream Team member Jack “BittyPlaysPoker” Bittker (GC 320,000).
Sweeps Coins events also took place, including the PokerNews Cup Qualifier 04 — SC 11 No Limit Hold’em Deepstack (SC 10,000 GTD). It was “72Kingswood” taking it down for SC 4,158.94. In skillfully outlasting an enormous field of 2,649 entrants, the champion also earned a spot in the upcoming PokerNews Cup SC 250,000 final. All players who finished in second to ninth place automatically advance to the semifinal round; the incredible generosity of Global Poker knows no bounds!
The runner-up in the tournament was “InfraredMegatron,” who earned SC 3,112.58. Taking third place and receiving SC 2,225.17 was “Theo247.” An obvious fan of the great Phil Ivey took fourth place for SC 1,525.83 — “Philiveysboy1.”
Two More Winners on Day 5 in PokerNews Cup
The excitement in the Global Poker x PokerNews Cup continued on Friday with two new tournaments that resulted in two new winners.
Both champions will automatically be entered in the PokerNews Cup finals on April 30. That is the case for all the qualifying round winners. Those who finish in second to eighth place receive a spot in the semifinals, and the remainder of the top 50 in each tournament advance to the quarterfinals, where they can attempt to work their way up to the finals.
The PokerNews Cup Qualifier 05 — GC 11,000 NLH Bounty (8-Max) had and impressive GC 4,000,000 guaranteed. When all was said and done, “TBrick” was the only player out of 371 original entrants still standing. This player, on top of earning a spot in the finals, received GC 655,310.
There were others who earned themselves some Gold Coins, including the runner-up “Lad23der” (Robbie Moore), who tweeted about being “so close.” Still, he advanced to the semifinals automatically and earned GC 480,265 for his efforts. “Neptune” took third place for GC 348,090, while “ENYguitar” busted in fourth place for GC 278,640.
Over in the Sweeps Coins events, Friday’s tournament was PokerNews Cup Qualifier 05 — SC 11 NLH Bounty (8-Max), which had an SC 10,000 guarantee.
There were an incredible 2,509 entrants chasing a spot in the finals and some great prizes. But none of them could outlast “Lsutigerfan225,” who earned SC 3,187.35 for the impressive performance. It’s never easy weeding your way through such a massive field, so a hat tip to this fan of the LSU Tigers. Geaux Tigers, champ.
One spot shy of getting all the glory was “Jabrony50,” who earned SC 2,384.50 as a consolation prize. In third place was “Sgt.Suckout” who may or may not have sucked out a few times to claim the SC 1,768.27 prize. And in fourth place for SC 1,214.25 was “RUeTaMa.”
“Java21” & “Thunder2007” Latest PokerNews Cup Qualifiers on Global Poker
Another action-packed day of the Global Poker x PokerNews Cup continued on Saturday with two new tournaments.

David “RUeTaMa” Moses Gets Second Victory of the Series
Sundays are a great day for enjoying some social poker, and there was plenty of that during the Global Poker x PokerNews Cup, which saw another two events ticked off the bustling schedule. Sundays are traditionally the busiest day of the week for poker tournament players, and Sunday events tend to have the largest guarantees. This was the case at Global Poker on April 16.
The GC 4,000,000 guaranteed PokerNews Cup Qualifier 07 – [Progressive Bounty, Super Deep] attracted 410 entrants who battled it out for the top prize of GC 68,5328.13. It was streamer David “RUeTaMa” Moses who defeated “TheFolder” heads-up to pick up his second victory of the series.

Those two players were joined at the final table by the likes of “DJtotheW” (4th – SC 728.88), “MADJAM” (6th – SC 510.85), and “FLOATZ44” (8th – SC 510.05).
