Borgata Babes A Distraction??

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. --A professional gambler accused of cheating an Atlantic City casino out of $9.6 million by seeking an unfair edge at cards says the casino has its own method of gaining an advantage: plying gamblers with free booze served by flirty, scantily clad waitresses.

Phil Ivey is using the unusual defense against allegations that he and a partner cheated while playing baccarat at The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in 2012. Both sides are suing each other over his winnings. The Borgata claims Ivey and an associate exploited a defect in cards that enabled them to sort and arrange good cards. The casino says the technique, called edge sorting, violates New Jersey casino gambling regulations. But Ivey asserts his win was simply the result of skill and good observation. In a court filing this week, Ivey turns on its head the Borgata's assertion that he and the associate sought an unfair advantage at the card tables. Ivey said the Borgata does the same thing by "plying him with free alcohol served by only the most curvaceous and voluptuous females in the industry." The casino did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday. The court filing quotes from a deposition in which Ivey recounted the attention Borgata employees lavished on him while he was betting $50,000 to $100,000 a hand. "It distracts you from your playing," Ivey said. "I mean, anything they can do to give themselves an advantage. Everyone knows that alcohol impairs your judgment, and they offer that, and they have the pretty cocktail waitresses and they're all very flirty. They're talking to you, you know. I got quite a few numbers." The latest filing came as Ivey's lawyers seek to take a sworn statement from the casino's food and beverage manager about its cocktail servers, which it calls "Borgata Babes." They wear tight-fitting bustiers, short skirts and heels, and are featured in an annual calendar that the casino sells. Ivey's lawyers say that in refusing to make the manager available for a deposition, the Borgata is seeking to conceal "evidence of its own institutional methods to disadvantage high rollers" like Ivey. The Borgata claims the cards used in the games were defective in that the pattern on the back was not uniform. The cards have rows of small white circles designed to look like the tops of cut diamonds, but the Borgata says some of them were only half-diamonds or quarters. Ivey has said he simply noticed things that anyone playing the game could have observed and bet accordingly. Ivey lost a similar lawsuit last year in Britain's High Court by the Malaysia-based Genting Group, a major casino operator. The court agreed that the casino didn't have to pay Ivey $12.4 million he had won through edge sorting. He denied any misconduct and said in a statement after the ruling that he believes his strategy to exploit the casino's "failures to take proper steps to protect themselves against a player of my ability" was a "legitimate strategy." Ivey has won nine World Series of Poker bracelets. He compares himself on his website to Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Muhammad Ali. SOURCE: AP

Jess Glynne <--- You Need To Know

Signed to Atlantic Records in August 2013, Jess Glynne stormed onto the UK scene when House music producer, Route 94, approached Glynne about rewriting and providing vocals for a song of his, called "My Love", which at the time contained a sample that he was prohibited from using. Later, Electronic group Clean Bandit heard "My Love" and approached Glynne to feature on their song "Rather Be".  

Released as a single in January 2014, "Rather Be" debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the third fastest-selling single and the most streamed song of 2014.  The track attained number-one and top-five positions on charts across Europe and Ocean, and was a top ten hit on the US Billboard Hot 100. In February 2014, Route 94's "My Love" was released as a single; it also debuted at number one in the UK.  Both "Rather Be" and "My Love" received nominations at the BRIT Awards for Best British Single. "Rather Be" won a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording and was nominated for Song of the Year at the inaugural BBC Music Awards. 

Her debut solo single, the Gorgon City-produced "Right Here", was released in July 2014 and charted in several countries, including at number six in the UK. Along with touring throughout 2014, Glynne collaborated on songwriting projects with Iggy Azalea, Little Mix, M.O, Rita Ora, Rudimental, and Tinie Tempah.  A second collaboration with Clean Bandit, "Real Love", was released in November 2014 and reached number two in the UK. Glynne's single "Hold My Hand", her second as the sole credited lead artist, debuted at number one in the UK in late March 2015, where it spent three weeks.  Glynne is featured on "Not Letting Go", a 2015 single by rapper Tinie Tempah that reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, bringing Glynne's total of UK number-one singles to four.   

She underwent surgery on her vocal cords in mid 2015 and consequently cancelled several live performances, including the Glastonbury Festival. Glynne's debut album, titled I Cry When I Laugh, was released in the UK in August 2015, following the single "Don't Be So Hard on Yourself" which recently went to #1.  Glynne became the second British female solo artist after Cheryl Cole to have five number-one singles on the UK Singles Chart when "Don't Be So Hard on Yourself" reached number one!

Sam Smith

Smith's album "In The Lonely Hour" debuted at No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S., and remained in the Top 10 for 13 weeks. That album claimed the record for the highest first week sales for a UK male artist in the soundscan era and currently has surpassed sales of 2.8 million adjusted units worldwide. 

While "Stay With Me" has become a mainstay at mainstream radio, Smith's current single "I'm Not The Only One" is on the same path. Most recently, Smith was nominated for two American Music Awards in the categories of New Artist of the Year and Favorite Male Artist Pop/Rock.

Million Dollar Jackpot awarded at Bally's Atlantic City!

Anthony Miles, of Powhatan, VA, got the jackpot of a lifetime when he looked down at his hand in Three Card Poker 6 Card Bonus™ and saw a royal flush all in the diamonds suit.  That one bet of $20 helped add $1,000,000 to Anthony’s Atlantic City trip.

 The Three Card Poker 6 Card Bonus™ began back in 2011.  On Sunday October 23rd 2011 Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City crowned the first ever $1 million jackpot winner when the man flashed a royal flush all in the diamond suit. Since that date, Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City has awarded six other winners various jackpot amounts, including another Virginia native, John Routsis of Virginia Beach, $100,000 in 2013.

Originally launched in Las Vegas, Atlantic City is now currently offering the opportunity to win this impressive jackpot. The game offers the first table-game payout of this size without an escalating progressive jackpot in a traditional brick and mortar casino.  For years, slot players have enjoyed the opportunity to win mega-jackpots, and now, Caesars Entertainment is offering this same opportunity to table game players where any player can win, on any day, at any time, in just one hand.
