Here are your local news headlines for the morning of Wednesday, Apr. 28, 2021.
A reflection on the themes of Cobra Kai and the closing out of the casino world via the Nevada Gaming pamphlet “When the Fun Stops”.
Bitcoin is dominating the financial news these days with a dramatic climb in value. Heading into the final week of November, its value has reached $18,500 in early trading. This rapid increase in price has increased the demand for Bitcoin in a number of different ways. The Winning Poker Network was paying out more than $100 million monthly in Bitcoin. More recently, that figure has increased to $160 million. This represents close to 95 percent of this popular poker site’s monthly payouts in winnings. The trend should continue as long as this bull run continues.Next up, Clark County Judge Rules Nevada Gaming Regulators in Wynn CaseMultiple allegations of sexual misconduct by Steve Wynn came to light in January of 2018. By March of that year, he resigned his position as CEO of Wynn Resorts. He also sold all of his stock shares in the Las Vegas casino company. In 2019, the Nevada Gaming Board (NGCB) filed a lawsuit against Steve Wynn. The Board was seeking to permanently ban Wynn from any involvement in the Nevada casino industry. More recently, Clark County District Judge Adriana Escobar ruled against the NGCB in this matter. She stated that the board does have the ability to declare Wynn unsuitable to hold a Nevada Gaming license.In the next story, The Mirage and Mandalay Bay Plan Mid-Week ClosuresDue to rising cases of COVID-19 coupled with low mid-week demand, many Las Vegas hotels are reducing hours. While they will all remain open on the weekends, many will close Tuesdays and Wednesdays. MGM Resorts just announced that the Mirage and Mandalay Bay will close their hotels from Tuesday until noon on Thursday. This starts Nov. 30. Other properties on the Strip with mid-week closures include Park MGM, LINQ, Planet Hollywood and Encore. This will only impact its hotels. Casinos and other resort amenities will maintain regular business hours. Some plan to resume normal hotel operations after the first of the year.In the last story, FOX Sports Wisconsin Part of Network Sports Gambling PartnershipFOX Sports Wisconsin has the broadcast rights to the MLB’s Milwaukee Brewers and the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks. It is part of a regional network of 21 stations dedicated to sports-related content. A few years back, this network was purchased by Sinclair Broadcasting based in Maryland. That company has recently formed a sponsorship deal with Bally’s Corp to rename this network. The logical choice would be Bally’s Sports. This is a 10-year deal worth $85 million. This could also result in the ability of live sports betting through this network where legal. Bally’s plans to develop a mobile betting app with the necessary interactive capabilities.

A UK man is banned from casinos.? The main reason was his consistent winning streak. This streak covered a 16-month window of betting activity on the table game Roulette. The player’s name is Balvinder Sambhi and he has taken his cause to the local press.His total winnings over that 16-month period was 70,000 pounds. He claims that his good fortune can be attributed to a ‘no lose’ roulette system. Sambhi has been perfecting his system over an extended period of time. His big wins are based on using a specific betting pattern. His big wins also got him permanently banned from the Broadway Casino, Five Ways. He has been a regular at the gambling venue since June of 2018. However, he has recently been informed that his membership will be revoked.Sambhi has already been banned from the Rainbow Casino in Edgbaston last year. Going back to 2009, he was banned from the Grosvenor Casino. The reason for each ban was consistent wins. None of the three casinos were willing to comment on the situation. Since June of last year, Sambhi mentioned that he had 320 winning days and just 19 losing ones.In The next story, Nevada Gaming Control Board Seeks Lifetime Ban for Steve Wynn.Former casino mogul Steve Wynn was a fixture in Las Vegas going back to the 1960’s. After the Wall Street Journal published an article detailing numerous allegations of sexual misconduct, that all changed. While Wynn continually refuted any claims of wrongdoings, he did resign his position as chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts in February of 2018. This was shortly after more and more allegations of sexual misconduct were revealed. One allegation stated that Wynn paid $7.5 million to an employee at the Wynn Las Vegas salon to settle a claim of forced sexual relations.More recently, the Nevada Gaming Control Board launched a seven-month investigation into the whole matter. The result of the investigation found:“A pattern of Mr. Wynn recklessly engaging in sexual conduct with subordinate employees. Which even if it was consensual as maintained by Mr. Wynn, is obviously to the significant power imbalance between the CEO of a major gaming company and subordinate employees.”The recommendation of these findings is a permanent ban of Mr. Wynn from any gaming operations in the state of Nevada. Wynn sold his remaining stake in Wynn Resorts in March of 2018. He currently resides in Palm Beach, Florida.
