E posibil s\ mai fi scris editoriale despre unul sau altul dintre sportivii de top ai României. Despre marii campioni, care au f\cut cinste culorilor na]ionale. Poate chiar despre Lucian Bute. {i, cu toate acestea, nu mi se pare prea mult - `n termeni rezonabili, desigur - s\ scrii, `nc\ o dat\, despre unul dintre pu]inii sportivi români, care mai ]in capul sus, `n lume. ~ntr-o lume `n care sportul [i cultura dau primii [i pe cei mai importan]i diploma]i ai planetei, transmi]ând un semnal ferm de pace, bun\ convie]uire [i competi]ie moral\. România a pierdut, pe rând, suprema]ia la toate disciplinele sportive pe care le domina sau, cel pu]in, se afla `n prima urn\ valoric\: gimnastic\, canotaj, kaiac-canoe, atletism, fotbal, handbal, tenis etc. Doar câteva personalit\]i extraordinare, risipite `n lume, mai amintesc de ceea ce a fost, nu cu mult timp `n urm\, sportul românesc, clasat, incredibil, `n top-tenul olimpiadelor. ~ntre acestea, se afl\ f\r\ `ndoial\, Lucian Bute. Bute a `nvins din nou. Bute este un sportiv `n genele c\ruia s-au conservat toate n\zuin]ele, `ncerc\rile, `ndr\zneala [i izbânzile a zeci de genera]ii de boxeri români. Toat\ truda, lupta, sudoarea [i icnetul `n\bu[it. Toate aplauzele, scand\rile, `ncuraj\rile [i urletele tribunelor. ADN-ul lui Bute a fost contaminat cu „virusul” acestor informa]ii atunci c\nd, extenuat, `[i [tergea r\nile cu prosopul ud [i tocat de din]ii „nervo[i” ai lui „Titi Prosop”. ~n duminicile `n care, la el, la Gala]i, copil fiind, urm\rea fascinat `ncle[t\rile celor mari, lipit de ring, [i sim]ea pe frunte stropii de sudoare zbura]i `mprejur din impactul m\nu[ii punchorului cu figura `ncasatorului.

Nr. 23 / April - May 2011

Bute FOREVER

Din toate acestea a fost recompus Lucian Bute. Din p\cate, nu aici, `n ]ara lui, unde sportul a fost `ngropat de dezinteres odat\ cu talentul fabulos al genera]iilor trecute -, ci peste Ocean, unde mi[carea, sportul, victoria fac parte din cultura [i economia american\. {i, ca o `mplinirea [i `mp\care, dup\ ce anun]\ `n ringurile lumii c\ România nu a murit, Lucian Bute se `ntoarce, mereu, acas\, ca s\-[i s\rute p\rin]ii [i drapelul na]ional ∫

It's possible that I may have written editorials about one or another of Romania's finest sportsmen. About great champions, who brought honor to their national flags. Maybe even about Lucian Bute. And, despite all that, it doesn't seem too much - in reasonable terms, of course - to write once more about one of the few Romanian champions who still hold their heads high in the world. In a world in which sports and culture give the first and foremost diplomats of the planet, transmitting a

De Mario ALEXANDRU

firm message of peace, community and moral competition. Romania has successively lost supremacy in all sports disciplines in which it ruled supreme or in which it was in the first line of combat: gymnastics, canoeing, kayak-canoe, athletics, football, handball, tennis, etc. Only a few extraordinary personalities, scattered around the world, still remind of what used to be not so along ago Romanian sport, ranked, incredibly, within the top 10 of Olympic Games. Amidst all this stands also Lucian Bute. Bute won again. Bute is a sportsman in the genes of whom were conserved all aspirations, hardships, courage and victories of dozens of generations of Romanian boxers. All the hard work, struggle, sweat and muffled shouts. All the applauses, acclamations, good words and cries of the crowd. Bute's DNA was contaminated with the "virus" of this information when, exhausted, he wiped his wounds with the wet towel chewed to shreds by Titi Prosop's nervous teeth. During the Sundays when back home in Galati he watched as a child the clash of great fighters, glued to the ring, feeling on his forehead the droplets of sweat flying off from the face of the boxer hit by the hard glove of the other boxer. From all this rose Lucian Bute. Sadly, not here, in his country, where sports were buried by neglect - together with the fabulous talent of past generations -, but overseas, where motion, sports, victory are part of the American culture and economy. And, as a sort of resignation, after announcing on the rings of the world that Romania is not dead, Lucian Bute always returns home to kiss his parents and the national flag ∫

Grupurile de studiu Rush Poker din România înregistreaz\ progrese remarcabile în cunoa[terea jocului Comunit\]ile Sit&Go raporteaz\ eliminarea tiltului [i cre[terea spectaculoas\ a profitului Tot mai numeroasa [i mai structurata comunitate a juc\torilor de poker online din România are în mod constant la dispozi]ie câteva forumuri de specialitate, unde fanii jocului psihologic al inteligen]ei î[i împ\rt\[esc ideile [i emo]iile, discut\ despre pasiunea lor comun\ [i, desigur, analizeaz\ jocul. Interesantele discu]ii postate pe aceste forumuri au creat grupuri de studiu care au ca scop perfec]ionarea continu\ prin asimilarea cuno[tin]elor de la ceilal]i membri ai grupului. Sub-grupurile de studiu Rush Poker ale comunit\]ii Sit&Go num\r\ în jur de 45 de juc\tori, dedica]i evolu]iei sportive, clar vizibil\ în graficele jocului lor. Aceast\ formul\ de a împ\rt\[i un viu interes pentru jocul min]ii este o modalitate excelent\ de a deprinde cât mai mult din tainele jocului într-un timp mult mai scurt decât în cazul metodelor clasice de studiu. O alt\ latur\ captivant\ a acestei metode este c\ se desf\[oar\ în timpul sesiunilor de joc. Membrii grupului încep o conferin]\ Skype [i pe m\sur\ ce jocul avanseaz\, fiecare dintre participan]i comunic\ situa]iile întâlnite [i le analizeaz\ împreun\. Accentul pe partea de analiz\ se realizeaz\ în fazele finale ale turneelor Sit&Go, când jocul este urm\rit în câteva sesiuni de Mikogo.

The study groups Rush Poker in Romania are registering remarkable progress in terms of knowledge of the game Sit&Go communities report the elimination of the tilt and the spectacular increase of profit The ever bigger and more organized community of online poker players in Romania have certain specialized forums at their disposal at all times, where the fans of the psychological game of intelligence share ideas and emotions, discuss about their common passion and analyze the game play. The interesting discussions posted on these forums have created study groups which have as purpose a permanent development by assimilating knowledge from the other group members. The Rush Poker study sub-groups of the Sit&Go community include 45 players dedicated to making the sport better, which is clearly visible in the graphics of their game play. This formula of sharing a lively interest for the game of the mind is an excellent means to master as many of the secrets of the game in a much shorter time than would be possible with classical study methods. Another captivating aspect of this method is that it takes place during game sessions. The members of the group begin a Skype conference and as the game play advances, each of the participants communicates the situations they meet and they analyze them together. The focus on the analysis side is made in the final stages of the Sit&Go tours, when the game is followed up in a few Mikogo sessions.

SALUT B|IE}I, DE CÂT TIMP PARTICIPA}I LA ÎNTÂLNIRILE GRUPULUI? Prima oar\ am participat la discu]ii de acest gen în mai anul trecut, dup\ ce am citit pe un forum despre înfiin]area unui grup de studiu pentru jocul de Sit&Go. Din p\cate nu a fost o experien]\ reu[it\ pentru c\, dup\ doar dou\ sesiuni, am r\mas doar doi juc\tori [i o serie de post-uri nu foarte frumoase pe forum. Dup\ câteva luni subiectul a fost reluat [i am încercat din nou, de aceast\ dat\ cu succes. Avem noroc [i cu unul dintre colegi, pentru c\ ne mobilizeaz\ exemplar cu replicile [i r\spunsurile lui. În mod consecvent particip la întâlnirile grupului de mai pu]in de trei luni.

HI GUYS, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PARTICIPATING IN GROUP MEETINGS? The first time to be a part of this sort of discussion was in May last year, after reading on a forum about making a study group for the Sit&Go game. Unfortunately, it wasn't a successful experience because after just two sessions there were just two

players left and a series of not very nice posts on the forum. After a few months the idea came up again and we tried again, this time with success. We are lucky to have this colleague who is very motivational with his replies and answers. On a regular basis, I have been a part of the group meetings for less than three months.

CASINO LIFE & BUSINESS MAGAZINE

CINE A AVUT IDEEA ORGANIZ|RII GRUPULUI VOSTRU DE JUC|TORI? Unul dintre membrii grupului a avut aceast\ ini]iativ\, la care au aderat câ]iva prieteni. De atunci componen]a grupului a suferit câteva schimb\ri, o parte dintre membrii echipei fiind relativ noi. În acest moment suntem 8 juc\tori, iar media de participare la sesiuni este de 5 juc\tori. CARE CONSIDERI C| SUNT AVANTAJELE PARTICIP|RII LA DISCU}IILE GRUPULUI? CE A{TEPT|RI AI AVUT {I CE AI DESCOPERIT PE PARCURS? Totul a început ca o provocare. Am pus 600 USD bani de început [i ne-am în]eles ca cel care va realiza cel mai mare profit într-o perioad\ de 3 luni s\ câ[tige o lad\ cu bere. Premiul pus la b\taie este simbolic, dar spiritul de competi]ie a influen]at jocul fiec\ruia dintre noi.

WHO HAD THE IDEA OF ORGANIZING YOUR PLAYER GROUP? One of the group members had this initiative which some other friends also joined. Ever since, the membership of the group suffered some changes, a part of the team members being relatively new. At this point, we are 8 players and the average number of participant players in sessions is 5 players. WHICH DO YOU THINK ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF

Nr. 23 / April - May 2011

PARTICIPATING IN GROUP DISCUSSIONS? WHAT EXPECTATIONS DID YOU HAVE AND WHAT DID YOU DISCOVER ALONG THE WAY? It all started as a challenge. We raised 600 USD as money to start with and we agreed that the player who made the biggest profit during a 3 months period would win a boxful of beer. The prize put at stake is symbolic, but the spirit of competition influenced the game of each one of us. We tried to create a schedule,

Patrik-Antonius

Am încercat s\ ne cre\m un program, s\ juc\m mai mult [i s\ c\ut\m cele mai profitabile jocuri. Dac\ la început am privit provocarea aceasta doar ca pe un joc, acum îmi dau seama c\ discu]iile avute m-au ajutat enorm în abordarea anumitor situa]ii. Faptul c\ aceste discu]ii se desf\[oar\ în timpul desf\[ur\rii turneelor m-a ajutat enorm în combaterea tilt-ului [i cred c\ am devenit mult mai calculat tot ca rezultat al comunicãrii. CUM A INFLUEN}AT EVOLU}IA TA CA JUC|TOR PARTICIPAREA LA DISCU}IILE DIN CADRUL GRUPULUI? Dup\ cum am spus, cred c\ principalul avantaj este eliminarea tilt-ului. Remarcile haioase sau anumite sfaturi, precum [i rezultatele coechipierilor te fac s\ treci mult mai u[or peste anumite perioade ale jocului. De asemenea, calitatea jocului practicat este mult peste a[tept\rile estimate, lucru care este dovedit de cre[terea ROI-ului (n.r. - profit) fiec\rui juc\tor din cadrul grupului. Dac\ în urm\ cu trei luni consideram c\ un ROI de 15% este bunicel, acum am ajuns ca pe un e[antion de 1.000 de jocuri s\ ob]in ROI 50%. To]i juc\torii au rezultate bune, fiind într-o vizibil\ cre[tere de form\. Cel mai bun r\spuns

to play more and to seek the most profitable games. If at first we saw this challenge as a mere game, now I realize that the discussion we had helped me a lot in approaching certain situations. The fact that these discussions take place while tours are in progress helped me a great deal to fight tilt and I think I have become much more considerate as a result of communication. HOW DID YOUR EVOLUTION AS A PLAYER INFLUENCE THE PARTICIPATION IN THE GROUP DISCUSSIONS? As I said, I think that the main advantage is the elimination of

tilt. The funny observations or certain advice, as well as the results of the teammates make you get over certain game period much more easily. Furthermore, the quality of the practiced games is way beyond our estimated expectations, which is proven by the increase of the ROI index (profit) of each player within the group. If three months ago I considered that a ROI index of 15% was fairly good, now, for a batch of 1,000 games I get a ROI index of 50%. All players have good results, and they have an increasingly good shape. The best response for the influence that my participation had in the

EDITORIAL / DISCOVER / LIFESTYLE / EXPLORER / LEISURE / FASHION / HISTORY / TRAVEL / AGENDA

pentru influen]a pe care a avut-o participarea la discu]iile din cadrul grupului sunt graficele cu evolu]ia jocului. Pe scurt, în câteva cuvinte pot spune c\ aceast\ experien]\ mi-a crescut încrederea în jocul propriu, mai ales în perioada de “downswing”, a contribuit la motivarea mea [i a colegilor, iar schimbul continuu de experien]\ a contribuit la o îmbun\t\]ire a jocului [i la acumularea de noi cuno[tin]e într-un ritm mult mai rapid decât m\ a[teptam (într-o lun\ [i jum\tate am progresat cât în ultimul an), lucru care a contribuit [i la cre[terea rapid\ a mizelor (de la 3 USD la 12 USD în mai pu]in de o lun\). Un mare plus a fost alegerea jocurilor. Dac\ la începutul mini-competi]iei stabilite, eu jucam turnee KO Sit&Go de 90 de persoane cu buyin de 3, 6, 12 USD, în urma discu]iilor avute [i a evolu]iei partenerilor am ales turneele Rush Sit&Go pe Full Tilt Poker. Acestea s-au dovedit a fi foarte distractive [i mai ales foarte profitabile, iar în acest moment aproape to]i colegii mei au ales acest tip de joc. Dup\ ce am fãcut alegerea, am remarcat c\ cea mai mare parte a juc\torilor din leaderboard-urile de Sit&Go joac\ Rush. CE DIFEREN}E SUNT ÎNTRE TURNEELE DE RUSH {I CELE JUCATE ANTERIOR? Evident, cel mai mare avantaj este ritmul alert [i incitant al jocului, cu un num\r de mâini jucate pe or\ considerabil mai mare. Patru turnee de Rush Sit&Go sunt comparabile ca ac]iune cu 16 mese obi[nuite. Spre deosebire de alte tipuri de joc, nu exist\ timp de a[teptare pentru a începe un Rush Sit&Go. Ai posibilitatea s\ intri într-un turneu Sit&Go de Rush aproape instantaneu. Voi mai enumera doar câteva dintre avantajele acestui joc: atrage mai mul]i “fishi”, câteva mese î]i ofer\ destul\ ac]iune astfel încât nu mai ai nevoie de mai multe monitoare [i multe ferestre, po]i încerca anumite strategii f\r\ a exista riscul ca cineva s\ remarce anumite mi[c\ri predefinite. Strategia nu cred c\ este special\ pentru abordarea acestui tip de joc. Eu folosesc strategia de baz\: “tight” în fazele de început ale SNG-ului [i “loose” în fazele finale. VRE}I S| M|RI}I NUM|RUL DE JUC|TORI DIN CADRUL GRUPULUI? Cred c\ vom putea discuta despre acest lucru doar dup\ finalizarea challenge-ului. Cred c\ o solu]ie mai bun\ decât m\rirea grupului este crearea unor sub-grupuri. În forma actual\ consider c\ grupul este destul de omogen, dar oricând un juc\tor serios care are ceva de spus î[i poate g\si locul în grupul nostru. CUM VEZI EVOLU}IA VOASTR| PESTE UN AN? În primul rând îmi doresc ca acest grup s\ existe [i peste un an. Având în vedere c\ s-a creat o motivare puternic\, cred c\ jocul practicat atât de mine cât [i de colegii mei se va îmbun\t\]i, iar cu un caracter puternic fiecare poate avea rezultate.

Despre grupul de studiu cu Sfantu_o (Full Tilt nickname) CARE SUNT DIFEREN}ELE ÎNTRE JOCUL RUSH SIT&GO {I KO SNG? Atât field-ul cât [i varia]ia sunt mai mici la KO. Dac\ un SNG KO poate fi abordat de la cap la coad\ “tight”, la Rush SitNGo o dat\ cu cre[terea blind-urilor [i cu introducerea Ante-urilor este absolut necesar ca abordarea s\ devin\ mult mai “agresiv\” ∫

group discussions are the graphics showing the game evolution. In a nutshell, I can say that this experience made me more self confidence about my game play, especially during the downswing period, it contributed to motivating me and my colleagues, and the permanent exchange of experience contributed to an improvement of the game and to the accumulation of new knowledge in a much faster rhythm than I had expected (in one month and a half I made more progress than in the previous year), which also contributed to the rapid increase of stake (from 3 USD to 12 USD in less than a month). A great advantage was choosing the games. If at the beginning of the established minicompetition, I played KO Sit&Go tours with 90 persons and buy-in, featuring 3, 5 and 12 USD, pursuing the discussions held and the evolution of the partners, I chose the Rush Sit&Go tours on Full Tilt Poker. These proved to be very entertaining and particularly profitable and at this point almost all my colleagues have chosen this type of game. After making my choice, I noticed that the most part of the players in the Sit&Go leader board were playing Rush. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RUSH TOURS AND PREVIOUSLY PLAYED TOURS? Obviously, the greatest advantage is the alert and exciting rhythm of the game, with a considerably big number of hands played each hour. Four Rush Sit&Go tours are comparable in

terms of action with 16 regular tables. As opposed to other types of games, there is no waiting time in order to begin a Rush Sit&Go. You have the possibility to join a Sit&Go tour almost instantly. I will list only a few of the advantages of this game: it draws more fish, a few tables provide plenty of action so that you don't need more monitors and more windows, you can try certain strategies without running the risk for someone to notice certain pre-established moves. I don't think there is a special strategy to approach this type of game. I use the basic strategy: "tight" during the initial phases of the SNG and "loose" in the final stages. DO YOU WANT TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS IN THE GROUP? I think we will only be able to discuss that once the challenge is over. I think that creating subgroups is a better solution than making the group bigger. In its' current form, I think the group is fairly homogenous, but a serious player with something to say can always find his place in our group. HOW DO YOU SEE YOUR EVOLUTION A YEAR FROM NOW? - First of all, I want this group to exist one year from now. Considering that there a strong motivation created, I think that the game practiced both by me and my colleagues will improve, and with strong determination, anyone can have good results.

About the study group Sfantu_o (Full Tilt nickname) WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GAMES OF RUSH SIT&GO AND KO SNG? Both the field and the variation are smaller at KO. If a SNG KO can be approached from

head to tail in a "tight" manner, at Rush Stig&Go once the blinds increase and once the Antes are introduced, it is absolutely imperative that the approach becomes much more "aggressive" ∫

"We have to create something new on the casino market. To bring something different but keep alive our core rules and DNA" said some time ago Bernard Lambert, CEO at Monte Carlo SBM, in the context of a third year threatening to bring poor results. According to Global Gaming Business Magazine, the decrease of income from gambling for Monte Carlo SBM cam after 6 years of gradual growth and a seventh year of records in all five casinos. Financial year 2007-2008 scored a GGR (gross gaming revenue) worth 259.6 million Euros, an amount that dropped the following year - once

larea crizei economice - cu 19%, pân\ la 210,7 milioane de euro. Dar dincolo de criz\, un alt factor a dus la sc\derea sumelor ob]inute din jocuri - de la 1 noiembrie 2008 fumatul în spa]iile publice era interzis în Monaco. Reversul medaliei dac\ ne gândim c\ numai cu un an înainte Principatul avea de câ[tigat de pe urma faptului c\ vecina sa, Fran]a, implementase aceea[i lege înc\ din februarie 2007. Pentru a remedia situa]ia, Monte Carlo SBM a introdus la cazinoul Café de Paris o teras\ pentru sloturi cu deschidere c\tre exterior. Rezultatul: venitul per slot pe teras\ a fost de trei ori mai mare decât venitul per slot în interior. Încurajat\ de rezultate, conducerea SBM a decis s\ încerce acela[i lucru [i cu mesele de jocuri, iar primul loc ales a fost Sporting Monte Carlo, unde mesele terasei restaurant au fost înlocuite cu mese din cazinoul interior. Alegerea s-a dovedit un succes, în consecin]\ teraselecazino sunt în curs de implementare la patru dintre cele cinci cazinouri ale Monte Caro SBM. Excep]ie va face Sun Casino, care nu are acces direct c\tre exterior. Casino de Monte Carlo va beneficia de o renovare complet\, etap\ cu etap\, la finele c\reia vor fi remodelate camerele private de joc [i restul spa]iilor interioare, dar vor fi ad\ugate [i dou\ zone exterioare de gaming: o teras\ ampl\ pe partea de sud, cu deschidere c\tre mare, [i o teras\ pe partea de est a cazinoului, în fapt redeschiderea vechii terase, închis\ în ultimii 50 de ani.

La vremuri noi, jocuri noi Din cele mai vechi timpuri, clientela din Monte Carlo a fost asociat\ cu elegan]a clasic\ a jocului la mese. Chiar [i în 20032004, venitul de la mesele de joc era de 69% din totalul venitului din gambling din regiune. Odat\ cu încheierea unei alian]e strategice cu Wynn Resorts, slot machine-urile au

beneficiat de o mai mare aten]ie [i la SBM. Compania a decis extinderea [i îmbun\t\]irea ofertei de sloturi [i orientarea c\tre o clientel\ înc\ neexplorat\. În numai trei zile, veniturile din sloturi au crescut de la 64,6 milioane de lire la 118,9 milioane, reprezentând 53% din venitul total din jocuri. Venitul din sloturi a avut un punct de vârf în 2007-2008, anul dinaintea crizei economice, aducând 131,7 milioane de euro. Venitul total din jocuri a sc\zut cu 19% în 2008-2009, dar sloturile nu au sc\zut decât cu 8%, în timp ce mesele cu 30%. Îns\ în 2010, sloturile au avut [i ele parte de lovituri, veniturile lor sc\zând cu 16%, la 102,2 milioane, în timp ce mesele au urcat cu 10%, la 98,2 milioane. Revenirea meselor a fost de scurt\ durat\, c\ci în prima jum\tate a anului fiscal 2010-2011 mesele de joc au generat doar 37,7 milioane, o sc\dere cu 45% comparativ cu sumele anului anterior. Sloturile [i-au continuat sc\derea dar una mai lin\, de doar 8%, producând 50,8 milioane [i dep\[ind din nou veniturile meselor.

Dep\[ind grani]ele Începând de anul acesta, Monte Carlo SBM va trece grani]ele, atât virtual cât [i în realitate. Pentru finele anului 2011 este programat\ deschiderea primului resort din afara Monaco-ului, un hotel de apartamente de cinci stele la Marrakech. De asemenea, în luna noiembrie, Monte Carlo SBM a anun]at c\ va manageria Monte Carlo Beach Club din Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi, potrivit Global Gaming Business. Pe segmentul online, Monte Carlo SBM de]ine 50% din BetClic Everest Group, fostul Mangas Gaming ∫

the economic crisis set in - by 19%, down to 210.7 million Euros. Beyond the crisis, yet another factor led to the decrease of sums obtained from gambling starting November 1st 2008, smoking in public spaces was forbidden in Monaco. The flip side of the coin if we consider that just one year before the Principality was making money due to the fact that its neighbor, France, had implemented the same law since February 2007. In order to remedy the situation, Monte Carlo SBM introduced at the casino Café de Paris a terrace for slotmachines with an opening to the exterior. The result: the income per slot-machine was three times bigger than the income per slotmachine on the inside. Encouraged by the results, the management at SBM decided to try the same things with playing tables, and the first location chosen was Sporting Monte Carlo, where the tables of the restaurant-terrace were replaced with the tables from the casino interior. The choice proved a success; consequently, casino-terraces are under development in four of the five casinos of Monte Carlo SBM. Sun Casino will be an exception, as it does not have a direct access to the exterior. Casino de Monte Carlo will benefit from a complete renovation, stage by stage, at the end of which there will be remodeled all private gaming rooms and the rest of the interior spaces, and two exterior gaming areas will also be added: a wide terrace at the south side, with an opening towards the sea and a terrace at the east side of the casino, in fact a reopening of the old terrace, closed for the last 50 years.

New games for new times From ancient times, the clientele in Monte Carlo has been associated with the classical elegance of playing at tables. Even in 2003-2004, the income from play-

ing tables was 69% of the total gambling income of the region. Once a strategic alliance with Wynn Resorts came to an end, the slot-machines got even bigger attention at SBM. The company decided to extend and improve the slot-machines offer and to target a clientele yet unexplored. In just three days, the incomes from slotmachines rose from 64.6 million pounds to 118.9 million, representing 53% from the total gambling income. The income from slot-machines peaked in 2007-2008, the year foregoing the economic crisis, with a figure of 131.7 million Euros. The total income from gambling dropped by 19% in 20082009, but slot-machines only zregistered a drop by 8%, while the tables went down by 30%. However, in 2010 slot-machines also took a hard hit, their income dropping by 16% to 102.2 million Euros, while tables registered an increase by 10%, to 98.2 million. The boost of playing tables was short-lived. During the first semester of financial year 2010 - 2011, playing tables generated only 37.7 million, a drop by 45% as compared to the sums of the previous year. Slot-machines continued to drop but somewhat smoother, by just 8%, producing 50.8 million and once more getting ahead of tables in terms of income.

Going beyond borders Starting this year, Monte Carlo SBM will go beyond the borders, both in virtual and real life. For the end of 2011 is scheduled the opening of the first resort outside Monaco, a five-star apartment hotel in Marrakech. Furthermore, in month November, Monte Carlo SBM announced it would manage the Monte Carlo Beach Club in Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi, according to Global Warming Business. For the online segment, Monte Carlo SBM owns 50% of the BetClic Everest Group, the former Mangas Gaming ∫

precum [i în rela]ie cu percep]ia general\ a acestei forme de divertisment. Proiectul „Joac\ Responsabil” a fost demarat la `nceputul lunii noiembrie 2010, `n cadrul expozi]iei de gaming Arena Expo, ca parte integrant\ a conceptului Novomatic de responsabilitate social\. Astfel, jocurile de noroc [i pariurile oferite publicului reprezint\ o form\ de divertisment [i recreere captivant\. Cu toate acestea, ele se pot transforma `ntr-o pasiune incontrolabil\. Prin urmare, exist\ un risc ca jocurile de noroc, precum [i pariurile, s\ degenereze `ntr-un obicei necontrolat, care poate s\ duc\ la o serie de probleme. Noi ne dorim s\ prevenim aceast\ tranzi]ie u[oar\, prevenirea fiind necesar\ `n timp util pentru ca distrac]ia [i emo]ia pariatului sau a jocului s\ nu dispar\.

as in relation to the overall perception on this form of entertainment. The project "Play responsibly" was initiated at the beginning of month November 2010 within the gamin expo Arena Expo, as integral part of Novomatic's concept of social responsibility. Thus, the gambles and bets offered to the public represent a form of entertainment and captivating recreation. However, they can turn into an uncontrollable passion. As such, there is a risk that gambling and bets can degenerate into an uncontrolled habit which can lead to a series of problems. We want to prevent this subtle transition, prevention being required in due time in order for the fun and thrill of betting or gambling not to disappear.

CARE ESTE SUPORTUL {I CU CINE COLABOREAZ| ADMIRAL PENTRU APLICAREA PROIECTULUI? ~n cadrul Grupului de companii Novomatic, programul Responsible Gaming are la baz\ un cod de procedur\ `n acest sens ce cuprinde atât modalit\]ile de responsabilizare a dependen]ilor de jocurile de noroc, cât [i participarea activ\ a angaja]ilor grupului `n sensul responsabiliz\rii persoanelor afectate. ~n România, Programul Joac\ Responsabil se dezvolt\ `n colaborare cu doamna psiholog lector univ. drd. Steliana Rizeanu, care are `n derulare lucrarea de doctorat având ca tem\ dependen]a de jocurile de noroc (“Jocul de [ans\ patologic”), `n cadrul clinicii de psihologie si psihoterapie Aquamarin (www.aquamarin.ro). ~n momentul de fa]\ proiectul se afl\ `n derulare sub `ndrumarea doamnei psiholog, `n baza unui program de consiliere gratuit\ a persoanelor cu probleme de dependen]a de jocuri de noroc.

WHAT IS THE SUPPORT AND WITH WHOM DOES ADMIRAL COLLABORATE IN ORDER TO APPLY THE PROJECT? Within the Novomatic company group, the program Responsible Gaming is based on a specially designed procedure code which includes both ways to make gambling addicts responsible and the active participation of the group's employees in the sense of making affected players responsible. In Romania, ,the program "Play responsibly" is developing in collaboration with psychologist and university lecturer and PhD Steliana Rizeanu who is developing a PhD paper having as topic gambling addiction ("Pathological gambling"), within the psychology and psycho-therapy clinic Aquamarin (www.aquamarin.ro). Currently, the project is developing under the guidance of the said psychologist, based on a free counseling program for persons with problems in terms of gambling addiction.

DA}I-NE, V| ROG, CÂTEVA DETALII DESPRE CEEA CE ~NSEAMN| UNUL DINTRE ELEMENTELE ESEN}IALE DE PROMOVARE ALE PROGRAMULUI DE PREVENIRE, {I ANUME FLYERUL “CÂND NOROCUL ~NCEPE S| DISPAR|”.

CE ESTE HELPLINE, {I ~N CE M|SUR| SPRIJIN| ACESTA APLICAREA PROIECTULUI? Helpline-ul creat `n cadrul proiectului Joac\ Responsabil este intermediul prin care un juc\tor cu probleme de dependen]a de jocurile de noroc are posibilitatea de a lua leg\tura telefonic cu specialistul nostru, de a i se explica `n ce const\ dependen]a de jocurile de noroc [i, `n eventualitatea `n care dore[te, de a se programa la o [edin]\ de psihoterapie oferit\ gratuit, sub `ndrumarea specialistului nostru, doamna psiholog Rizeanu. ~n orice caz, juc\torii amenin]a]i de dependen]\ ob]in prin intermediul liniei telefonice gratuite o invita]ie de specialitate, motiva]ional\, în vederea particip\rii lor la aceast\ terapie. Ca [i [edin]ele de consiliere oferite gratuit, helpline-ul Joac\ Responsabil este un num\r de telefon apelabil gratuit din orice re]ea de telefonie, fix\ sau mobil\. Programul de func]ionare pentru consultan]\ prin intermediul helpline-ului gratuit este de luni pân\ vineri `ntre orele 9:00 [i 21:00.

WHAT IS HELPLINE, AND TO WHAT EXTENT DOES IT SUPPORT THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROJECT? The helpline created within the project "Play responsibly" is the means by which a player with gambling addiction problems has the possibility to contact our specialist by telephone and to be explained what gambling addiction consists of and, in case he wants to, to make an appointment at a psycho-therapy session, free of charge, under the guidance of our specialist, psychologist Steliana Rizeanu. In any case, players under the threat of addiction obtain through this free telephone line a special invitation, with motivational character, in view of their participation in this therapy sessions. Like the counseling sessions offered for free, the helpline "Play responsibly" features a telephone number accessible for free from any telephony network, fixed or mobile. The working schedule for counseling through the free helpline is from Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 21:00.

SUB CE FORM| DEZVOLT| ADMIRAL OFERTA POSIBILIT|}ILOR DE TERAPIE PENTRU JUC|TORI? ~n momentul de fa]\, consilierea `n probleme de dependen]a de jocuri de noroc este efectuat\ `n mod individual, cu fiecare client `n parte, sub anonimat, precum [i prin [edin]e de terapie oferite ca ajutor [i sprijin pentru membrii de familie ai celor dependen]i de jocurile de noroc. Juc\torul poate astfel s\ beneficieze de [edin]e individuale sau `mpreun\ cu membrii familiei sale care `i vor oferi sprijin [i suport moral. Programul Joac\ Responsabil este `ns\, creat de asemenea manier\, `ncât, pe viitor, s\ fie create grupuri locale [i regionale de `ntrajutorare, de tipul “Juc\torii anonimi”, urmând acela[i model ca [i al altor grupuri de `ntrajutorare de acest gen (ex. Alcoolicii anonimi). Aceste grupuri ale juc\torilor anonimi au ca scop organizarea de întâlniri regulate cu dependen]ii de jocuri de noroc, pentru ca ace[tia s\ se poat\ confrunta cu problemele lor, iar experien]ele lor proprii vor fi dezb\tute împreun\ cu exper]ii califica]i în domeniul dependen]ei. Caracteristic pentru aceste grupuri ale juc\torilor anonimi este faptul c\ to]i sunt anonimi, nu sunt accesibili publicit\]ii [i pentru c\ garanteaz\ discre]ie.

WHAT THERAPY POSSIBILITIES DOES ADMIRAL MAKE AVAILABLE FOR PLAYERS? Currently, counseling for gambling addiction matters is performed individually, with each client separately, anonymously, as well as through therapy session provided as assistance and support for the family members of those addicted to gambling. The player can thus benefit from individual session or together with their family members which will provide moral support and comfort. The program "Play responsibly" is designed in such a way that for the future local and regional assistance communities can be created, like "Anonymous players", following the same pattern as other groups of assistance of this sort (like Anonymous alcoholics). These groups of anonymous players have as purpose the organization of regular meetings with gambling addicts, in order for them to be able to face their problems, while their experiences can be debated upon together with qualified experts in the field of addiction. Typical for these groups of anonymous players is the fact that all are anonymous, there is no risk of public exposure and discretion is guaranteed.

EXIST| REZULTATE CONCRETE? NE PUTE}I DA EXEMPLE ~N ACEST SENS? ~n mod evident exemple concrete nu putem oferi deoarece to]i juc\torii trata]i `n momentul de fa]\ prin intermediul acestui program, urmeaz\ [edin]ele de terapie sub anonimat. Putem `ns\ declara faptul c\ num\rul dependen]ilor care apeleaz\ la ajutorul specialistului prin intermediul programului Joac\ responsabil este `n continu\ cre[tere de la `nceputul programului. De asemenea, exist\ [i un num\r de persoane care beneficiaz\ `n mod regulat [i sus]inut de [edin]ele de consiliere `n problema dependen]ei de jocurile de noroc. ~n final, scopurile programului “Joac\ Responsabil” sunt stabilirea [i men]inerea abstinen]ei membrilor dependen]i de jocuri [i pariuri, precum [i sus]inerea familiilor persoanelor dependente, `n acord cu interesele sociale generale. De asemenea, membrii dependen]i vor fi reintegra]i social `n sensul psihologic, mediu de munc\ [i familial ∫

ARE THERE CONCRETE RESULTS? CAN YOU GIVE SUCH EXAMPLES? Obviously, we can't give concrete examples because all players currently being treated in this program are subject to therapy session under anonymity. But we can say that the number of addicts requesting specialist assistance through the program "Play responsibly" is growing permanently, ever since the program began. There are also a number of people regularly benefiting from counseling session for matters of gambling addiction. Finally, the purpose of the program "Play responsibly" is to establish and maintain the abstinence of members with gambling addiction, as well to support the families of the addicted persons, in agreement with the overall social interest. Furthermore, addict members will be socially reintegrated in the psychological sense, in a working and family environment ∫

Casino Life & Business Magazine dezvolt\ dou\ proiecte importante `n cadrul conceptului “Corporate social responsability”

Casino Life & Business Magazine is developing two important projects within the concept of “Corporate social responsibility” De Mario ALEXANDRU

Pentru comunitatea de business din statele UE, “Corporate social responsability” - “Responsabilitatea social\ a companiei” - este un concept extrem de important [i face referire la contributia pe care companiile, ce `[i def\[oar\ activitatea dup\ standarde etice [i norme interna]ionale, [i-o aduc la dezvoltarea societ\]ii moderne, România ]ine aproape, `n ultima perioad\ ap\rând [i la noi tot mai multe proiecte subsumate acestui concept. ~ntre ele, `n domeniul activit\]ilor de casino [i a industriei de gambling, exist\ o tot mai intens\ preocupare pentru dezvoltarea de ini]iative cu impact social [i economic, inclusiv ca o obliga]ie etic\ [i moral\ fa]\ de anumite segmente de popula]ie [i a unor zone defavorizate. ~n acest context, revista Casino Life & Business Magazine [i-a propus s\ genereze dou\ ini]iative noi - un proiect de burs\ pentru tineri, precum [i un concept de sprijinire a unor zone defavorizate, din punct de vedere economic [i social.

For the business community in the EU member states, "Corporate social responsibility" is an extremely important concept referring to the contribution that companies developing their activity by ethical standards and international norms bring to the development of modern society. Romania is following this trend lately as more and more projects subsumed to this concept appear in these parts. Among them, in the field of casino activities and gambling industry there is a growing preoccupation for developing initiatives with social and economic impact, also in terms of a social and moral obligation to certain population segments and to certain poor areas. In this context, Casino Life & Business Magazine aims to generate two new initiatives - a scholarship project for youth, as well as a concept to support some underdeveloped areas from an economic and social standpoint.

Conform art. 57 (4) - (6) [i art. 84 (2)-(4) din Codul Fiscal, persoanele fizice au posibilitatea s\ direc]ioneze 2% din impozitul pe veniturile ob]inute `n anul anterior, c\tre o entitate nonprofit, unit\]ilor de cult, precum [i pentru acordarea de burse private. Bursa sau Bursele - `n func]ie de sumele atrase -, vor fi oferite de revista noastr\, prin tragere la sor]i, `n cadrul evenimentului „Premiile Casino Life & Business Magazine” - premii anuale ale industriei de gambling din România. Fiecare partener al bursei poate prezenta o lista proprie cu poten]iali beneficiari. Legat de cel de-al doilea concept, cu referire la sprijinirea unor zone defavorizate din punct de vedere economic - o prim\ propunere fiind Valea Jiului -, prin dezvoltarea de proiecte `n sfera gamblingului de cazino, `n zone cu fiscalitate redus\ sau nefiscalizate, `n scopul cre\rii de locuri de munc\ [i oportunit\]i de afaceri, revista noastr\ `ncearc\ atragerea de noi investitori str\ini, foarte poten]i, `n aceste zone, fapt care va conduce, implicit, la evitarea unei concuren]e majore cu investitorii tradi]ionali afla]i deja `n pia]\. Cele dou\ proiecte vor fi promovate atât prin `ntâlniri directe, cât [i prin organizarea de mese rotunde [i simpozioane, ori prin intermediul articolelor promovate `n media. „Am demarat deja discu]ii foarte serioase cu patroni de cazinouri [i reprezentan]i ai unor asocia]ii organizatorice din domeniu pentru atragerea de fonduri c\tre astfel de proiecte. Suntem siguri c\ lucrurile vor merge foarte bine” spune Mihnea Popescu, proprietarul publica]iei [i ini]iatorul proiectelor ∫

With regard to the financing of "Casino Scholarship", the funds will be obtained from tax payers to the state budget, from the gambling industry and not only, from tax payers who agree to redirect 2% of the income tax towards such activities. According to art. 57 (4) - (6) and art. 84 (2)-(4) of the Fiscal Code, natural persons have the possibility to direct 2% of the tax on the income obtained the previous year towards a not-for-profit entity, cult units, as well as for granting private scholarships. The scholarship or scholarships - depending on the funds raised will be offered by our magazine, by draw, within the event "Casino Life & Business Magazine Awards” - annual awards of the gambling industry in Romania. Each partner of the scholarship can present their own list of potential beneficiaries. With regard to the second concept referring to the support of some underprivileged areas from an economical standpoint - one suggestion being Valea Jiului -, by developing projects in the area of casino gambling, in areas with reduced or zero taxation, for the purpose of creating employment and business opportunities, our magazine is trying to bring new and very powerful foreign investors in these areas, which will implicitly lead to avoiding any major competition with traditional investors already existing on the market. The two projects will be promoted both in direct meeting and by organizing round tables and symposiums, or through written articles promoted in mass-media. "We have already initiated very serious talks with casino owners and with representatives of some organizing associations in the domain in order to obtain funds for such projects. We are confident that things will go very well" says Mihnea Popescu, owner of the publication and initiator of the projects ∫

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RECAST. I HEARD YOU WERE GOING TO BE THE HOST OF THE SECOND EDITION OF MISS HOSTESS ROMANIA.

Da, m\ bucur foarte tare c\ vom continua aceast\ caravan\. M-am sim]it foarte bine, `n 2010, `ntre atâtea femei frumoase, plus c\ a trebuit s\ o [i alegem, dintre ele, pe cea mai frumoas\. Abia a[tept s\ merg din nou `n ]ar\. Mi-e dor s\-mi rev\d prietenii. Am petrecut mult timp `n turnee [i mi-am f\cut mul]i prieteni.

Yes, I am very happy that we will continue this caravan. I had a very good time in 2010 among all those beautiful women, not to mention that we had to choose one of them as the most beautiful I can't wait to travel across the country once more. I miss seeing my friends. I spent a long time in tours and made lots of friends. I can say I take pride in

this role that I have in a show like Miss Hostess. I hope I will perform as good as or better than last year I had lots of experiences and learned a lot both I and the entire team - organizers, producers -, by participating in this genuine tour de force. I hope beautiful and smart girls in Romania will come to the screening session soon to begin.

Liviu e un tip haios, talentat [i carismatic. El spune c\ e doar norocos [i c\ Dumenzeu are grij\ de el. ~ns\, dincolo de [tampila de “macho” pus\ de pres\, descoperi un Liviu Vârciu sensibil, muncitor, st\pân pe el. Liviu is a funny, talented and charismatic guy. He says that he's just lucky and that God looks after him. However, beyond the "macho" label that media has put on him, you discover that Liviu Varciu is a sensitive, hard-working and very self-confident guy.

CUM A FOST PRIMA EDI}IE? CARE A FOST CEA MAI INTERESANT| SEAR|? DAR CEA MAI REA? ~ncep cu cea mai agitat\ sear\ a primei edi]ii. Asta s-a `ntâmplat la Constan]a, la primul show. Nu prea [tiam cu ce se m\nânc\. Veneam din alt\ lume, ca moderator-prezentator. E drept c\ am avut parte [i de o situa]ie cam ciudat\ - se `nserase, lumina, care provenea de la câteva f\clii, era [i ea cam slab\ -, iar eu trebuia s\ citesc textul de pe un desf\[ur[tor primit `n ziua concursului. A[a c\ am improvizat pu]in… mai mult. Una peste alta, fiind `nceputul, Constan]a a fost “momentul” cel mai stresant. Dar ne-am descurcat [i, pân\ la final, totul a fost OK. De acolo, am crescut de la show la show, odat\ cu concursul propriu-zis. {i a[a am ajuns la cea mai fericit\ edi]ie - cea de la Ia[i. Pentru c\ moldovencele, cum bine [ti]i, sunt cele mai frumoase femei. M-am re`ntâlnit acolo cu foarte mul]i prieteni, iar o domni[oar\ care concura la Miss a venit cu vioara [i a cântat un refren din repertoriul meu - piesa “Ochii t\i”. Sincer, am tr\it un moment foarte emo]ionant. A fost o sear\ minunat\. CARE SUNT PROIECTELE TALE DE VIITOR ~N SHOWBIZ, ~N CINEMATOGRAFIE? Dincolo de activitatea cotidian\ m\ preg\tesc [i a[tept cu `ncredere s\ relu\m caravana Miss Hostess. Fiind cea de-a doua edi]ie, sunt convins c\ lucrurile vor ie[i foarte bine [i cu to]ii vom aplica experien]a c\p\tat\ la prima edi]ie. Tot ceea ce `nseamn\ acest show devine o experien]\ acumulat\, bine venit\ pentru activitatea mea, din toate punctele de vedere. Un spectacol live, pân\ la urm\, care te face s\ tr\ie[ti intens fiecare moment, fiecare sear\, fiecare `ntâlnire cu publicul, cu fetele care concureaz\, cu presa. ~n cinematografie `mi doresc foarte tare s\ realizez un film de lung metraj, pe care `l voi produce chiar eu. Am un scenariu foarte bine pus la punct - scris de na[ul meu, Stelian Gheorghe - `n care cred mult, [i sper s\-l finalizez anul acesta. O comedie de ac]iune, spumoas\, despre cele `ntâmplate `ntre anii 1990 - 2005, `n România. CONSIDERI CA ~N ULTIMA PERIOD|, ACTUL ARTISTIC ~N ROMÂNIA A CRESCUT ~N CALITATE SAU A SC|ZUT? Din punctul meu de vedere, a dec\zut. ~nainte, prin anii '98 '99, când eram invita]i la o emisiune de divertisment, la tv, mergeam cu ceea ce [tiam s\ faceam. Noi mergeam pe cântare, actorii pe actorie. Ceea ce se `ntâmpl\ acum `n showbiz, cu vedetele acestea care se nasc `ntr-o zi [i mor `ntr-o lun\, altfel foarte mediatizate, este hilar. Sunt convins c\, la un moment dat, [i noi [i televiziunile ne vom educa, [i nu vom mai b\ga `n seam\ fiecare domni[oar\ care `[i arat\ un sân la tv sau care poveste[te c\ s-a culcat cu x, cu y sau cu mine. E penibil. Trebuie s\ faci ceva, ca artist, s\ te afirmi ca atare, s\ dovede[ti c\ po]i face ceva. CUM STAI CU DRAGOSTEA? AI NOSTALGII? ~NFRUN}I VIITORUL? Sunt momente [i momente `n via]a mea. Am mai spus-o, sunt cu toat\ lumea dar de fapt sunt singur. Sunt [i am fost `nconjurat de femei frumoase, mul]umesc lui Dumnezeu, dar nu am g\sit-o

HOW WAS THE FIRST EDITION? WHICH WAS THE MOST EXCITING EVENING? AND THE LEAST EXCITING? Starting with the most agitated evening of the first edition. It happened in Constanta, at the first show. I had no idea what was going on. I was coming from a different universe, as moderator-host. It's true I was faced with an awkward situation - night had set in, the lights, coming from a few torches was quite faint - and I was supposed to read the text on a prompter, received very early that day. So I improvised a little... more. One on top of the other, Constanta was the most stressful moment. But we pulled it off and in the end everything was ok. From that point on, we grew together from one show to another, alongside the competition itself. And so we got to the happiest of editions - the one in Iasi. Because Moldavian girls, as you know, are the most beautiful. I got together with lots of friends and one young lady who was competing in Miss came with a violin and sang a piece from my repertoire - the chorus of the song "Ochii tai" (Your eyes). Honestly, I experienced a very emotional moment. It was a good night. WHICH ARE YOUR FUTURE PROJECTS IN CINEMA AND SHOWBIZ? Apart from my daily activity, I prepare and wait anxiously to resume the Miss Hostess Caravan. As the second edition, I am convinced things will turn out very well and that we will all make use of the experience gathered with our first edition. Everything about this show is becoming an accumulated experience, welcomed for my activity, from all points of view. A

live show, after all, that makes you live intensely every moment, every evening, every encounter with the audience, with the girls competing, with the press. In terms of movie making, I want to make a feature film, which I will produce myself. I have a very well arranged screenplay - written by my godfather, Stelian Gheorghe whom I trust a lot; I hope to finish it this year. A lovely action comedy about what has happened in Romania between 1990 and 2005. DO YOU THINK THAT LATELY THE ACTING IN ROMANIA HAS INCREASED OR DECREASED IN TERMS OF QUALITY? From my point of view, it went down. Before, back in '98 or '99, when we were invited at a TV show, we were invited because of the things we knew how to do. We went with our songs, actors with their acting. What happens currently in showbiz with these stars that rise today to fade one month later, although they get a lot of media attention, it's hilarious. I am convinced that at one point both us and the television networks will make a stand and stop paying attention to each lady showing off her breasts on TV or telling stories about how they slept with x, with y, or with me. It's pathetic. You have to do something as an artist, you have to make a name for yourself, to prove that you can do something. WHAT ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE? DO YOU HAVE ANY REGRETS? HOW DO YOU WELCOME YOUR FUTURE? There are different moments in my life. I said it before - I am with everybody, but in fact I am

pe cea potrivit\ pentru mine. Cu dragostea stau foarte prost. Scandalurile prin care am trecut nu mi-au f\cut deloc bine. O femeie cuminte [i de[teapt\ nu se mai poate deschide acum, fa]\ de mine. Nu-mi mai poate spune, “Liviu, tu e[ti b\rbatul ideal pentru o c\snicie sau pentru o familie”. Presa mi-a creat o imagine total deformat\. A speculat prea mult, mai ales dup\ divor]. Eu m\ concentrez pe carier\, vreau s\ realizez ce mi-am propus. {i am `n]eles clar un lucru - s\ nu mai alerg dup\ persoana potrivit\. Sunt convins c\, odat\, va veni ea c\tre mine. Pentru c\ fiecare sac are peticul lui. Vine un moment `n care cineva m\ va iubi pentru ceea ce sunt, care m\ va respecta pentru ceea ce fac. Care nu va vedea `n mine doar un tabloid mergând prin cas\ [i care `[i va spune: “hai s\ m\ culc cu \sta ca s\ apar [i eu repede-repede pe copert\!”.

alone. I am and have been surrounded by beautiful women, thank God, but I haven't yet found the one right for me. My love life is very bad. The scandals I went through didn't do me much good. A good and smart woman can never open up to me now. She can no longer tell me "Liviu, you are the ideal man for a marriage or for a family". The media has created a totally distorted image of me. It speculated too much, especially after my divorce.

I concentrate on my career; I want to attain what I aim for. I clearly understood one thing not to chase the right person. I am convinced that one day she will come to me. Because there is a soul mate for each of us. There comes a time when someone will love me for what I am, who will respect me for what I do. Who will not see in me just a tabloid walking around the house making plans: "I have to sleep with this guy to get on the cover of that publication".

IS THERE ANY WOMAN WHO PARTICULARLY INTERESTS YOU AND WITH WHOM YOU'D LIKE TO SPEND YOUR FUTURE? There was a woman in my life at one point. Before knowing my former wife. Back then I did not believe in her. Only when you lose something, do you realize how precious it was. I regret the day I left her because of Adelina. She was a wonderful woman who loved me for many years and who would have been the right wife for me from all points of view. But I am sure that at a certain point I will fall in love hopelessly with a woman who will deserve me.

HOW'S YOUR LUCK THESE DAYS? DO YOU WAIT FOR IT, DARE IT? I am a lucky guy. Thanks God, I was born a lucky guy. First of all, I am not some great singer, but I was lucky to sing in a successful band. The same with acting, I am convinced that many of my colleagues are more talented than me. But in life you need a speck of luck. You have to be capable of doing what you like and to know what you're doing. But, if your luck is running out, nothing will work. But I am lucky. AND TALENTED? Me, talented? I am annoyingly talented∫∫∫

Trente et Quarante

ALIAS RO{U {I NEGRU RULETA CU C|R}I

AKA RED AND BLACK CARD ROULETTE

De Andra Cr\ciun

Jocul dateaz\ din Fran]a secolului al XVII-lea [i este extrem de popular în cazinourile din Europa continental\. Este, de altfel, unul dintre cele dou\ jocuri majore care se joac\ la Monte Carlo, al\turi de Rulet\.

The game dates from the France of the 17th century and is extremely popular in casinos across continental Europe. It is, in fact, one of the two major games to be played at Monte Carlo, next to the Roulette.

Cum se joac\

How it is played

Pentru Trente et Quarante sunt necesare [ase pachete de c\r]i de joc [i pot juca de la 1 la 6 juc\tori. Fiecare carte are valoarea înscris\ pe ea, Asul are valoarea 1, iar Valetul, Dama [i Popa au valoarea 10. Înainte ca jocul s\ înceap\ juc\torii de la mas\ trebuie s\ parieze, iar la Trente et Quarante nu sunt acceptate decât patru variante de pariuri: Ro[u, Negru, Culoare [i Invers. Dup\ celebrul “Messieurs faites vox jeux!” anun]at de dealer, fiecare dintre juc\torii de la mas\ î[i pune pariurile. Finalul rundei de pariere este marcat de un alt anun] celebru în lumea jocurilor de noroc: “Les jeux sont faites. Rien ne va plus!”, ceea ce înseamn\ c\ pariurile sunt f\cute [i c\ nu se mai poate face nimic în plus. Toate pariurile se fac împotriva casei, sau b\ncii. Dealerul, sau casa, d\ primul rând de c\r]i, pân\ când valoarea lor dep\[e[te 30. Acest prim rând se nume[te Negru. Rândul al doilea de c\r]i, numit Ro[u, se a[eaz\ pe mas\ în acela[i fel. Astfel, fiecare dintre sumele celor dou\ rânduri se va încadra în intervalul 30-40 (trente-quarante). Câ[tig\ rândul cu valoarea cea mai apropiat\

For Trente et Quarante six decks of cards are required and it can be played by 1 up to 6 players. Each card has the value written on it, Ace has value 1, and Jacks, Queens and Kings have value 10. Before the game begins the players have to place their bets, and with Trente et Quarante only four betting variants are accepted: Red, Black, Color and Inverse. After the famous “Messieurs faites vos jeux!” announced by the dealer, each of the players at the table places his bets. The end of the betting round is marked by another famous announcement in the world of gambling: “Les jeux sont faites. Rien ne va plus!" which means that the best are made and that nothing more can be done. All best are placed against the house or the bank. The dealer, or the house, deals the first row of cards until their value exceeds 30. This first row is called Black. The second row of cards, called Red, is laid on the table the same way. Thus, each of the sums of the two rows will be within the range 30-40 (trente-quarante). The row closest to value 30 wins.

Nr. 23 / April - May 2011

Trente et Quarante is one of the simplest but also most fascinating casino games practiced in Europe, being in fact a version of Roulette, with the observation that it uses playing cards

Trente et Quarante alias Ro[u [i Negru aka Red and Black

Trente et Quarante de 30. Un pariu pe culoare câ[tig\ dac\ Negru este câ[tig\tor, iar prima carte din rândul de negru este de culoare neagr\, sau dac\ Ro[ul este câ[tig\tor [i prima carte din rândul ro[u este de culoare ro[ie. Dimpotriv\, pe Inverse se câ[tig\ dac\ Negrul este câ[tig\tor [i prima carte din rândul Negru este de culoare ro[ie, sau dac\ Ro[ul este câ[tig\tor [i prima carte din rândul Ro[u este de culoare neagr\. Pariul pe Ro[u sau Negru este cunoscut drept Grand Tableau, iar Culoare - Inverse este cunoscut drept Petit Tableau. Dac\ totalul ambelor rânduri este acela[i, este egalitate, [i nu câ[tig\ nimeni, iar mizele r\mân pe mas\ pentru jocul urm\tor. Dac\ suma c\r]ilor de pe ambele rânduri este de 31 (sau, în francez\, “un apres”) cunoscut [i sub denumirea de “Refait”, casa ia jum\tate din valoarea mizei. Totu[i, la fel ca [i în blackjack, fiecare juc\tor poate face un pariu asigurator, cu o valoare de 1% din pariul total, care anuleaz\ pierderea a jum\tate din miz\ în cazul unei egalit\]i de 31. De[i asigurarea reprezint\ un plus pentru confortul psihic al juc\torului, statistic vorbind, o egalitate la valoarea de 31 are o probabilitate de apari]ie de 1 la 41 de jocuri ∫

A color bet wins if Black is winner, and the first card in the black row is a black color, or if Red is winner and the first card in the red row is a red color. On the contrary, Inverse is a winner if Black is winner and the first card in the black row is a red color, or if Red is winner and the first card in the Red row is a black color. Betting on Red or Black is known as Grand Tableau, and Color - Inverse is known as Petit Tableau. If the total of both rows is the same, it's a draw and nobody wins, and the stakes remain on the table for the next game. If the sum of the cards on both rows is 31 (or, in French, "un apres") also known as a "Refait", the house takes half the value of the stake. However, sale as in blackjack, each player can make an ensuring bet, with a value of 1% of the total bet which prevents losing half the stake in case of an equality of 31. Although the insurance represents a plus for the psychological comfort of the player, statistically speaking, an equality with value 31 is likely to occur once in every 41 games ∫

Românul a fost su]inut de mii de fani, canadieni [i români, care au umplut la maxim Centre Bel din Montreal. La 31 de ani, Bute bifeaz\ cea de-a 28 victorie, din tot atâtea meciuri `n boxul profesionist, completând un

palmares de excep]ie. "V\ mul]umesc pentru primirea pe care mi-o face]i de fiecare dat\. Sunt foarte onorat, [i mândru.

World champion Lucian Bute defeated by KO in the 10th round the Irish fighter Brian Magee, thus defending for the seventh time his world title at super middleweight category. The Romanian fighter was supported by thousands of fans, Canadian and Romanian, who came in overwhelming numbers in Centre Bel in Montreal. Aged 31 years old, Bute is registering his 28th victory out of the same

number of fights in professional boxing, making for an exceptional fighting record. "Thank you for the reception you're giving me each time. I am very honored and proud. I always come to Romania with these feelings because I was born here, I am Romanian and I will never forget that. With regard to the fight, I was in extraordinary shape.

Campionul român a mai spus c\ sunt [anse mari ca urm\torul meci s\ se desf\[oare la Bucure[ti. „Avem promisiuni. La Montreal a fost [i domnul Obreja [i reprezentan]i ai ministerului. ~nainte s\ plece, Rudel Obreja a fost mandatat de pre[edintele clubului canadian Interbox, Jean Bedard, s\ organizeze meciul urm\tor `n România. R\mâne acum s\ definitiv\m lucrurile aici”. Lucian Bute a anun]at c\ nu va avea o vacan]\ foarte lung\, tocmai pentru faptul c\ meciul din var\ va fi programat undeva, pe la sfâr[itul lunii iunie. „Acum, voi merge acas\, la Gala]i. Voi fi cu familia, cu prietenii, pentru câteva zile. Cu atât mai mult cu cât, de Pa[te, nu voi fi aici, ci `n Canada. Dar poate va veni familia la mine. Totul e posibil, de ce nu” a mai spus Lucian Bute, precizând c\ `[i asum\ sacrificiul de a avea foarte pu]in timp liber. „Eu [tiu ce vreau - vreau s\ fac carier\, performan]\, s\ unific centurile.

a particularly tough head. He never stepped back; he came to Montreal to win. There are few boxers who can take a hit in the liver and get up after it. It was impressive. I hit him so many times that my hands swelled after the fight" declared Bute. The Romanian champion also said that there are big chances that his next fight will take place in Bucharest. "There are some promises. Mr. Obreja and the representatives of the ministry were also in Montreal. Before leaving, Rudel Obreja was appointed by the president of the Canadian club Interbox, Jean Bedard, to organize the next fight in Romania. Now we have to finish thing up here".

Lucian Bute announced he wouldn't have too long a vacation precisely for the fact that the fight scheduled for the summer is to be held somewhere at the end of month June. "Now I will go home to Galati. I will be with my family and friends for a few days. All the more since I won't be here for Easter, but in Canada. But maybe my family will come see me. Everything is possible, why not" said Lucian Bute, stating that he assumed the sacrifice of having too little spare time. "I know what I want - I want to make a career, to unify titles. I want them to write history about me, to fight in the grand halls in America - Las Vegas, Madison Square Garden. I'll take the time to have fun after that".

Rudel Obreja: "The next fight will be in Bucharest" In turn, the president of the Romanian Boxing Federation, Rudel Obreja, who was by Bute's side in Montreal to live the sensations of the fight, announced that the next gala will take place in Bucharest. Altogether, he is convinced that Lucian will follow a trail with no defeats in the years to come. "Bute will fight everyone in Super Six successively, defeating them as he did with Magee. It was a difficult fight, with a very tough opponent. "The next fight will be in June, in Bucharest" added Rudel Obreja ∫

MODIFIC|RI LEGISLATIVE ADUSE LEGISLATIVE MODIFICATIONS ON LEGII JOCURILOR DE NOROC THE LAW REGULATING GAMBLING CIUL & ASOCIA}II S-au adus modific\ri `n ceea ce prive[te modalitatea de colaborare a de]in\torului licen]ei de exploatare cu alte persoane `n desf\[urarea activit\]ilor de jocuri de noroc. Astfel c\ exploatarea jocurilor de noroc se poate realiza în comun, de c\tre doi sau mai mul]i organizatori de jocuri de noroc între care exist\ un contract de asociere în participa]iune încheiat în condi]iile legii, r\spunderea administrativ\ revenind tuturor partenerilor.

Modifications were brought with respect to the method of collaboration of the holder of the license of exploitation with other persons in developing gambling activities. Thus, the exploitation of gambling activities can be done jointly by two or more organizers of gambling activities between which there is a contract of joint venture concluded under legal conditions, the administrative responsibility belonging to all partners.

Principala modificare adus\ legii jocurilor de noroc o reprezint\ introducerea sub litera legii a anumitor activit\]i care pân\ acum nu erau reglementate.

The main modification brought to the law regulating gambling is represented by the introduction under the coverage of the law of certain activities that were not regulated up to this point.

Noua lege vine [i include `n categoria jocurilor de noroc urm\toarele activit\]i: ∫ jocurile bingo organizate prin intermediul sistemelor de comunica]ii de tip internet, sisteme de telefonie fix\ sau mobil\; ∫ pariurile online reprezentând activitatea de pariuri în cot\ fix\, organizat\ prin intermediul sistemelor de comunica]ii de tip internet, sisteme de telefonie fix\ sau mobil\; ∫ jocurile de noroc online reprezentând totalitatea jocurilor de noroc, care sunt desf\[urate altfel decât în prezen]a fizic\ a juc\torilor, organizate [i transmise prin intermediul sistemelor de comunica]ii de tip internet, sisteme de telefonie fix\ sau mobil\, [i pentru care un organizator de jocuri de noroc a ob]inut autoriza]ie [i licen]\

The new law appears and includes in the category of gambling activities the following activities: ∫ bingo games organized through communication system like Internet, fixed or mobile telephony systems; ∫ online betting representing the activity of fixed-odd betting, organized through communication systems like Internet, fixed or mobile telephony systems; ∫ online gambling activities representing the total number of gambling activities which are held other than in the physical presence of the players, organized and transmitted through communication systems like Internet, fixed or mobile telephony systems and for which an organizer of gambling activities has obtained authorization and license

Organizarea [i exploatarea activit\]ii de jocuri de noroc pe teritoriul României constituie monopol de stat [i se desf\[oar\ în condi]iile legii jocurilor de noroc, organizarea de jocuri de noroc `n afara legii este strict interzis\.

Organizing and exploiting gambling activities on Romanian territory constitutes state monopoly and is held under the conditions of the law regulating gambling. Organizing gambling activities outside the law is strictly forbidden.

Astfel c\ `n momentul de fa]\, organizarea de jocuri de noroc `n mediul virtual trebuie s\ se desf\[oare `n condi]iile impuse de legea pentru exploatarea jocurilor de noroc, operatorii de jocuri de noroc având obliga]ia s\ solicite licen]a de organizare a jocurilor de noroc pentru a putea func]iona `n mod legal.

Thus, currently, organizing gambling activities in the virtual space must take place under the conditions imposed by the law regulating gambling activities, gambling operators having the obligation to request a license to organize gambling activities in order to operate legally.

Statul poate acorda dreptul de organizare [i exploatare a activit\]ii de jocuri de noroc în condi]iile legii, pe baz\ de licen]\ de organizare a jocurilor de noroc pe fiecare tip de activitate, astfel cum acestea sunt clasificate de legiuitor, [i de autoriza]ie de exploatare a jocurilor de noroc, documente nominale [i limitate în timp, ce vor fi exploatate în mod direct de de]in\torul licen]ei.

The state can grant the right to organize and exploit gambling activities under legal conditions, based on a license to organize gambling activities per each type of activity, as such are classified by the legal authority and on a authorization of exploitation of gambling activities, documents which are nominal and limited in time and which are to be directly exploited by the holder of the license.

CASINO LIFE & BUSINESS MAGAZINE

V\ vom detalia `n acest num\r principalele modific\ri pe care le-a adus Legea 246/2010 `n domeniul legisla]iei jocurilor de noroc.

Nr. 23 / April - May 2011

We shall list in this issue the main modifications which Law 246/2010 brought to the field of gambling legislation.

Activitatea de autorizare a organiz\rii [i exploat\rii jocurilor de noroc se realizeaz\ de Ministerul Finan]elor Publice prin Comisia de autorizare a jocurilor de noroc, care se organizeaz\ [i func]ioneaz\ la nivelul acestui minister. Cererile privind acordarea licen]elor de organizare a jocurilor de noroc sau a autoriza]iilor de exploatare a jocurilor de noroc vor fi solu]ionate în termen de 30 de zile de la data depunerii documenta]iei complete.

The activity of authorizing the organization and exploitation of gambling activities is performed by the Ministry of Public Finances through the Commission for the authorization of gambling activities which is organized and operational within the ministry. The requests regarding the granting of the licenses to organize gambling activities or of the authorizations of exploitation of gambling activities will be solved within 30 days from submitting the complete documentation.

Trebuie s\ preciz\m aici un lucru foarte important, acela c\ intr\ sub inciden]a legii doar persoanele juridice de drept român constituite `n condi]iile legii. Legiuitorul român nu a reglementat [i activit\]ile de jocuri de noroc realizate de persoanele juridice de drept str\in care activeaz\ `n România.(având sediul `ntr-o alt\ ]ar\).

We have to state a very important aspect here, namely that the law covers only the legal entities under Romanian right, constituted under legal conditions. The Romanian law authority did not regulate the gambling activities performed by legal entities under foreign right, activating in Romania (heaving its headquarters in another country).

Activitatea economic\ reprezentat\ de jocurile de noroc, se va desf\[ura în condi]iile elabor\rii [i implement\rii unui cadru de reglementare [i supraveghere a furniz\rii [i consumului de jocuri de noroc prin intermediul sistemelor de comunica]ii de tip internet, sisteme de telefonie fix\ sau mobil\, cu condi]ia respect\rii principiilor privitoare la: ∫ protec]ia minorilor [i prevenirea accesului acestora la aceste tipuri de jocuri de noroc; ∫ asigurarea integrit\]ii [i a transparen]ei opera]iunilor desf\[urate de c\tre [i prin intermediul organizatorilor de astfel de jocuri de noroc, precum [i a unui sistem de joc echitabil, supravegheat [i verificat permanent din punctul de vedere al securit\]ii [i corectitudinii activit\]ilor desf\[urate; ∫ prevenirea [i combaterea activit\]ilor infrac]ionale care pot fi desf\[urate prin intermediul acestor tipuri de jocuri de noroc; ∫ asigurarea unei dezvolt\ri echilibrate [i echitabile a diferitelor tipuri de jocuri de noroc, pentru a se evita destabilizarea sectoarelor economice în cauz\; ∫ implementarea unui proces continuu de actualizare a reglement\rilor din acest domeniu de activitate, în vederea diminu\rii [i limit\rii unor posibile vulnerabilit\]i ale acestui sector economic fa]\ de poten]iale activit\]i infrac]ionale, precum [i a diminu\rii expunerii fa]\ de riscul de sp\lare a banilor [i de finan]are a actelor de terorism

The economic activity represented by gambling shall take place given the conditions of elaborating and implementing a framework for regulating and overseeing the provision and consumption of gambling activities through communication system like Internet, fixed and mobile telephony systems, under the condition of respecting the principles regarding: ∫ the protection of minors and the prevention of access to this type of gambling activities; ∫ ensuring the integrity and transparency of the operations performed by and though organizers of such gambling activities, as well as of an equitable game system, overseen and verified permanently from the point of view of security and correctness of performed activities; ∫ the prevention and fight against criminal activities which can be performed through such types of gambling activities; ∫ ensuring a balanced and equitable development of various types of gambling activities, in order to avoid the destabilization of related economic sectors; ∫ implementing a continuous process of updating of the regulations in this field of activity, in view of diminishing and limiting some possible vulnerable spots of this economic sector faced with potentially criminal activities, as well as diminishing the exposure to the risk of money laundry and of financing of terrorist activities.

Pentru societ\]ile care organizeaz\ pariuri în cot\ fix\ [i/sau pariuri on-line, taxa pentru autoriza]ia de exploatare a jocurilor de noroc se stabile[te în func]ie de încas\rile efectiv realizate de societ\]i din exploatarea acestei activit\]i, dar nu mai pu]in de nivelul minim al taxei stabilit\ de lege. Taxele percepute pentru ob]inerea licen]ei de organizare a jocurilor de noroc [i a autoriza]iei de exploatare a jocurilor de noroc constituie venit la bugetul de stat. Un procent de 5% din aceste taxe se aloc\ anual prin legea bugetului de stat astfel: 1,5% la Fondul cinematografic [i 3,5% pentru Programul na]ional de restaurare a monumentelor istorice. Sumele se vireaz\ lunar din buget la nivelul încas\rilor.

For the companies organizing fixed-odd bets and/or online betting, the fee for the authorization to exploit gambling activities is established depending on the cash-ins actually performed by the companies from the exploitation of such activities. but no less than the minimum level of the fee established by law. The taxes charged for obtaining the license to organize gambling activities and the authorization to exploit gambling activities constitutes incomes to the state budget. A percent of 5% from these fees is allocated annually through the state budget law as follows: 1.5% to the Cinema Fund and 3.5% to the National program for the restoration of historical monuments. The sums are transferred monthly from the budget, according to the cash-ins.

External news Sands mut\ Las Vegas-ul în Spania Sheldon Adelson, pre[edintele Las Vegas Sands Corp., a dezv\luit recent planurile de a construi o Fâ[ie în stilul celei din Las Vegas, în Spania. Dac\ va fi dus la bun sfâr[it, proiectul în valoare de 21 de miliarde de dolari al celor de la Sands va transforma Spania într-una dintre cele mai atractive destina]ii de gambling din lume. Spania ar fi, astfel, al treilea bastion cucerit de Sands, dup\ Nevada [i Macau, dou\ loca]ii unde cazinourile grupului au învins concuren]a. Adelson a solicitat din partea guvernului iberic sprijin pentru ridicarea construc]iilor [i promisiunea c\ va reu[i s\ dep\[easc\ aspectele birocratice într-un timp redus. “Spania este ]ara ideal\ pentru acest proiect. Mi-e team\ îns\ de legile în vigoare în ceea ce prive[te munca în aceast\ ]ar\” a spus Adelson, citat de cotidianul spaniol El Mundo, ad\ugând c\ acestea „sunt atât de rigide”. Adelson a mai spus c\ s-a întâlnit deja cu oficiali de la Madrid [i Barcelona pentru a discuta despre proiectul ce va implica peste 10 hoteluri-cazino.

WSOP [i-a desemnat cel mai tân\r câ[tig\tor Eventul din Palm Beach al World Series of Poker a fost câ[tigat de un tân\r în vârst\ de numai 19 ani, din Florida. John Riordan a devenit astfel cel mai tân\r juc\tor de poker din Statele Unite care a câ[tigat un turneu din circuitul WSOP, plecând acas\ cu un premiu în valoare de 210.180 de dolari. Turneul din Palm Beach a fost, de altfel, primul eveniment din circuitul World Series of Poker ]inut în Florida, un stat care permite juc\torilor de peste 18 ani s\ intre în turnee de poker, spre deosebire de majoritatea statelor unde vârsta limit\ este de 21 de ani. Riordan a început s\ joace poker de la vârsta de 13 ani, iar de la 19 ani joac\ pe bani reali, jocul s\u preferat fiind Pot-Limit Omaha, pe mize mari. Pasionat de jocurile online, Riordan a reu[it odat\ cu victoria de la Palm Beach s\ î[i adjudece prima victorie la un turneu live, învingând al]i 700 de juc\tori înscri[i în turneu.

Un nou cazino gigant se preg\te[te în Bahamas Un nou resort ultra luxos va face în curând parte din peisajul din Bahamas. Baha Mar Resort va costa, potrivit estim\rilor, 3,4 miliarde de dolari [i va fi amplasat în Cable Beach. Dup\ cinci ani de la anun]area proiectului, Sarkis Izmirlian, pre[edinte [i CEO al Baha Mar a spus c\ au avut de str\b\tut un drum lung, cu provoc\ri multe, cu sui[uri [i coborâ[uri. “De[i au fost mul]i cei care ne-au refuzat, nu ne-am îndoit niciodat\ de viabilitatea acestui proiect unic. Cei care s-au îndoit se refereau probabil la alte proiecte”. La evenimentul de lansare a lucr\rilor au luat parte sute de invita]i, printre care [i vicepremierul Bahamasului, T. Brent Symonette [i Ministrul Turismului Vincent Vanderpool. Resortul Baha Mar - ce va cuprinde 3800 de camere în 6 hoteluri, un cazino uria[, spa]ii de afaceri [i magazine - va fi încheiat la finele lui 2014. Principalul contractor al Baha Mar va fi compania chinez\ China State Construction Engineering Corp., cea mai mare firm\ de profil din China, de altfel o companie de stat. Finan]atorul proiectului, totodat\, este Banca Chinez\ de Export-Import, [i ea o companie a statului.

Sands is moving Las Vegas in Spain Sheldon Adelson, the chairman of Las Vegas Sands Corp., recently revealed plans to build a Strip following the style of the one in Las Vegas, in Spain. If completed, the project worth 21 billion dollars initiated by the Sands will turn Spain into one of the most attractive gambling destinations in the world. Spain would thus become the third bastion conquered by Sands, after Nevada and Macau, two places where the casinos of the group defeated the competition. Adelson requested from the Spanish government support for the construction and the promise that administrative aspects will be overcome in a short time. "Spain is the ideal country for this project. However, I am afraid of the current laws with regard to employment in this country" said Adelson, quoted by the Spanish publication El Mundo, adding that "they are too rigid". Adelson also said that he had already met officials in Madrid and Barcelona to discuss the project that will include more than 10 casino-hotels.

WSOP appointed its youngest winner The event in Palm Beach of the World Series of Poker was won by a young man aged only 19, from Florida. John Riordan thus became the youngest poker player in the United States to win a tour in the WSOP circuit, leaving home with a prize worth 210,180 dollars. The tour in Palm Beach was, in fact, the first even in the World Series of Poker circuit to be held in Florida, a state that allows players over 18 years old to sing up in poker tours, as opposed to most other states where the minimum age is 21 years. Riordan began playing poker at age 13 and when he turned 19 he started playing on real money, his favorite game being Pot-Limit Omaha, on high stakes. Keen on online games, Riordan managed once with his victory in Palm Beach to register his first victory in a live tour, defeating other 700 players who signed up for the tour.

A new giant casino is underway in the Bahamas A new ultra high-luxury resort is soon to be a part of the Bahamas scenery. Baha Mar Resort will cost according to estimates 3.4 billion dollars and will be placed in Cable Beach. After five months from announcing the project, Sarkis Izmirlian, chairman and CEO of Baha Mar said that they had come a long way, packed with challenges, ups and downs. "Although many people said "no" to us, we never doubted this unique project. The ones that did doubt were probably referring to other projects". At the launch event of the works took part hundreds of guests, including the Vice Prime Minister of the Bahamas, T. Brent Symonette and the Ministry of Tourism Vincent Vanderpool. The Baha Mar resort - which will include 3,800 rooms in 6 hotels, a huge casino, business areas and stores - is to be ended at the end of year 2014. The main contractor of Baha Mar will be the Chinese company China State Construction Engineering Corp., the biggest company of this sort in China, a state-owned company. The financer of the project is the Chinese Export-Import Bank, also a state-owned bank.
