The source detailed that this rough catalog also embraces four forms of blackjack as well as sic-bo, craps, casino war, slots, pai gow and money wheel while excluding more traditional pastimes such as mahjong, pachinko and pachislot.

In order to be selected as a host for one of these coming facilities, candidate communities are being required to partner with an experienced foreign operator before submitting their final plans to a panel of federal selectors ahead of an April of 2022 deadline.

Community counsel:

The proposed rules and permissible game types put forward by the Casino Management Board are now set to undergo a five-week period of public consultation. They could then purportedly be formally enshrined as early as the summer should they receive legislative backing and require no major re-workings.

New Jersey gambling revenues increase in July but casinos still struggle to reach pre-pandemic levels

The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) just released the revenue reports for gambling in the state for the month of July. Casinos, horse tracks, and online providers were able to earn over $480 million last month, which was an increase of over 6% from the previous year.

While the revenue numbers are good, the land-based casinos in Atlantic City are still struggling to reach earning totals from before the onset of the pandemic. The amount of cash won from in-person gamblers is still low with five venues earning less this past month than what was generated in the same month in 2019, the year before the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Five Casinos Fall Behind

The DGE figures show that the nine casinos in the state earned nearly $299 million from in-person visitors. This was more than the amount won in July 2019, of $277 million. However, five of the gaming venues in Atlantic City still hit a lower number than the monthly figure before t…

AI industry begs someone to please stop the AI industry before all human life is extinguished by the AI industry-

The people making artificial intelligence say that artificial intelligence is an existential threat to all life on the planet and we could be in real trouble if somebody doesn’t do something about it.

“AI experts, journalists, policymakers, and the public are increasingly discussing a broad spectrum of important and urgent risks from AI,” the prelude to the Center for AI Safety’s Statement on AI Risk states. “Even so, it can be difficult to voice concerns about some of advanced AI’s most severe risks. 

“The succinct statement below aims to overcome this obstacle and open up discussion. It is also meant to create common knowledge of the growing number of experts and public figures who also take some of advanced AI’s most severe risks seriously.”

‘Hang in there’- A fix for all those Helldivers 2 freeze-ups should ideally land ‘well before the Warbond’, says community manager-

If you’ve been playing Helldivers 2, chances are you’ve probably been booted to your desktop after extracting—I sure have. Typically, this bug causes a premature return to civilian life at the end of a mission, which is extra frustrating since they tend to take over half an hour to complete. At least, if you’re as much of a sample-hungry completionist as I am.

Fortunately, a fix is on the way, as confirmed by community manager Twinbeard on the Helldivers 2 Discord: “I just briefly want to say that we’re aware of the crashes primarily surrounding extraction/end of mission that currently a lot of you are facing. There’s a hotfix arriving very soon.”

As for a timeframe, Twinbeard noted that they were “pretty sure” it’ll arrive before the new Warbond, which is scheduled to deploy April 11. Granted, that’s a solid ‘maybe’ passed on by a community manager—and considering the unruly nature of game development, there are no guarantees in bug-fix land.
