Video Poker 247 - Video Poker News and Notes

Just a few quickies for the video poker scene:

ILLINOIS: The Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin has gotten the award for “Best Casino” for the second year in a row. Strictly Slots magazine has named the casino the best of the best, which undoubtedly makes the casino very happy. They also got awards for "Best Video Poker," "Best Reel Slots," "Best Progressive Slots," "Best Slot Host/Attendants," "Best Dollar Slots," "Best Quarter Slots," and "Best Steakhouse."

ARKANSAS: The Arkansas Supreme Court has ruled that video poker is legal. They ruled by a 6-1 vote that a state law that allows video poker and other electronic games of skill was constitutional and would be allowed. In 2005, residents in Hot Springs and West Memphis voted to allow video poker and other such games, and the Arkansas Family Council has been fighting the ruling. They are opposed to any kind of gambling expansion in the state.

And finally, Trans World Corp. (TWOC) was pleased to hear that they had gotten onto the Buyins.net Short List. TWOC is involved in the casino scene in the Czech Republic and Croatia, and handles the acquisition, development, and management of several casinos there. They handle video poker and video slot machines, as well as gaming tables. They handle small to midsize hotels that have casino facilities, and are currently holding four casinos in Ceska Kubice, Rozvadov, Hate, and Dolni Dvoriste in the Czech Republic; as well as one casino operated under a management contract located in Podstrana, Croatia.
