Florida looks to establish destination casino resorts to boost tourism
The state of Florida will consider a bill sometime before the end of 2011 that will issue licenses to developers looking to build destination casino resort facilities, and play poker among others, within the state.
The state will require a commitment of at least $2 billion in capital investment as well as a willingness to pay a $50 million licensing fee.
Casino gambling has long been dominated by the Seminole Indian tribe in Florida. While over $2 billion is spent annually at gambling casinos in Florida, legislators believe that the development of destination resort casinos in cities like Miami would be a huge draw for the tourism industry. One developer—Malyasia-based Genting Group, has already proposed a $3.8 billion casino and resort hotel in downtown Miami, and would house a five-star hotel, several retail stores and restaurants along with a top-tier casino.
The Seminole Indian tribe has countered by saying that almost all of their revenue profits stay within the state, and are used by tribe members at local grocery stores, car dealerships and other local businesses. Seminole gambling revenues also help fund the tribe’s government operations as well. However, the state is intent on increasing job creation and tourism, and keeping the bidding for licenses open to outside sources will help spur the economy.
Casino resorts relying more on perks than on increased gaming tables
Now that 38 states in America now allow casino gambling within their borders, the larger casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City are attempting to come up with newer ways to entice people to visit their establishments.
The addition of more slot machines and poker table games at Vegas and Atlantic City casinos is no longer the big draw that it used to be. As each state continues developing casino resorts of their own, Vegas and Atlantic City casinos have turned to other amenities in order to help distinguish their resorts above others.
Several casinos have chosen to renovate restaurants within their facilities rather than purchase new slot machines, figuring that many customers would rather have a better dining experience while at the facility.
Other casino facilities have chosen to either build or refurbish their entertainment facilities to draw in better performing artists, offering another entertainment option.
CEO Virginia McDowell of Isle of Capri Casinos told CBS News that with an economy that has still not recovered, people are making more prudent decisions with regard to spending their leisure money. "When you have 250-point swings in the stock market on a given day, it really makes it hard for people to feel good about spending their leisure dollars," she said.
In the meantime, the larger and more popular resort casinos will continue looking for fresh ways to entice customers and keep their casinos at the top of people’s travel options.
Can croupiers earn a decent living working poker tables?
It has often been said that the job of a croupier for a casino is one filled with glamour and excitement, however in reality it’s a job that requires much training, constant vigilance, good customer service skills and a keen eye.
With all that said, can a croupier in fact earn a good living? Absolutely, however it is dependent on several key factors.
First, in order to be a good croupier, it is important to learn every single table game officiated by a dealer, or croupier. Oftentimes at major casinos, croupiers are floated between different gaming tables, so while in one moment a croupier may be presiding over a roulette wheel, the next moment they may be dealing at a poker table.
In the United States, it is required for a croupier to attend a certified course or training program specifically geared toward learning about all table games. Once the croupier has passed the course, they may then become certified to work at tables. However this alone does not guarantee gainful employment at a casino.
Oftentimes, because the job of a croupier is a highly sought after position, casinos who are hiring croupiers will conduct thorough auditions, and the budding croupier must then successfully pass their audition.
Croupiers generally work for minimum wage, and rely heavily on tips provided to them by bettors. In some casinos, the position can indeed by quite profitable, especially if bettors are feeling generous after a good run at a poker table.
In general, croupiers average between 10 and 40 dollars per hour depending on various factors—location and popularity of casino, skill level and customer service acumen. A good croupier can combine all of these elements to earn a very good living indeed.
New versions of Poker offer bettors more gambling options
When the original game of Poker was first offered in its present form in France in the late 18th century, the game of chance saw few changes over the years. Apart from the United States adopting a double zero wheel to its version of Poker, few changes were seen in the game for many years. However now, especially with the explosion of online gambling, the game of Poker has seen some interesting changes, many of them designed to gain the interest of a newer and younger audience. French Poker is a newer version now offered by the online site Casino Tropez. French Poker offers a lower house edge on most roulette games, and is based on the fact that players lose only half their wagers on even money bets if a ‘0’ is called.
French Poker is definitely much safer for those wishing to play even money bets. However, other online Poker sites have started offering versions that allow for free spins, and some have started offering “3 Wheel Poker” in which users can win up to three times their original bet with the spinning of three separate wheels simultaneously. If a bettor has chosen “red” and the ball stops on red on two of the three wheels, they would win double their original bet.
Technology will no doubt continue to advance the game of Poker, and as online Poker casinos continue to vie for online users, they will no doubt continue to come up with innovative ways to make the Poker more attractive.
