Aqueduct Racetrack in New York
Aqueduct Racetrack in New York - slot machines and race track in New York - Resorts World Casino New York City Resorts World Casino New York City has a new record in bets! $1.13 billion in bets was registered in July 2012 made by a million gamblers in New York and other cities.
New York gambling regulators reported net revenue of $59.75 million in July and announced the biggest revenue since its opening in October.
The Resorts World Casino New York City alias is "Racino" as it overlooks the Aqueduct Racetrack. The casino in New York offers 4500 slot machines and 500 electronic table games including roulette, blackjack, baccarat, craps and more.
One gambling analyst explains that the success of the Resorts World Casino New York City is due to a monopoly position in New York.
"It’s like owning the only liquor store in town, if you can’t make a lot of money off that, you know you’re doing something wrong.", said the analyst Jeff Hooke.
The Aqueduct Racetrack opened last year to attract millions of gamblers not only from New York but also from neighboring states.
Casinos in Atlantic City, Connecticut and Pennsylvania worried the Aqueduct Racetrack can harm their revenue due to the large number of gamblers in New York and other states that can now place bets in Aqueduct Racetrack.
Even Aqueduct Racetrack can't offer casino table games, they are thinking the number of gamblers in those states can decrease.
Gamblers are visiting Aqueduct Racetrack because of the proximity. It's convenient for gamblers.

The difference of the licensees in Delaware and Nevada / New Jersey is that in Delaware, players will have mobile poker, video poker and slots so it's not only about poker but casino games.
"We are kind of restricted right now because of the integration piece to our service provider, which is 888 Holdings. So we are restricted to those games for launch. They are working with other game content providers for integration, but it will still be a while. They are coordinating all the pieces of the puzzle. They are the responsible vendor to us.

Legal online poker deposits blocked
Legal online poker deposits blocked - USA credit card deposits rejected in online poker Nevada The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 can be causing some problems for players trying to deposit using credit cards in approved and regulated online gambling sites in Nevada.
These problems were reported when a Nevada punter tried to make deposits using a VISA credit card that resulted in "declined by bank" messages. Actually, the credit card issued bank knew nothing about this rejection which can be generated directly by the credit card company.
Now that we have some legalized online gaming sites operating in Nevada and very soon in New Jersey, UIGEA could represent a problem to find out which online gambling financial transaction is legal and those that are not.
"Some credit card companies may block online gaming transactions. Contact your credit card issuer to find out if this charge was blocked intentionally. Let them know that this is something you want and that WSOP online poker is fully regulated and legal in the state of Nevada. If the credit card issuer will still not let you make this transaction, you may want to try a different card."
