Wink Bingo has added five new slot games to their collection of slots. The progressive slots they offer have jackpots ranging from £700,000 to 2.6 million pounds. These are life-changing amounts that are up for some lucky player to win. The new slots are adding to the jackpot kitty and makes Wink a not only a bingo site but a slot site as well. Wink has always enjoyed a reputation for featuring games with great jackpots. They just keep adding to their players potential big wins from just one spin of the slot game. The bingo games are not bad either. There are plenty of very decent bingo prizes to be won from their scheduled bingo games. Wink even features some very nice prizes for their free bingo games. Needless to say, the new games will attract new players and keep existing players coming back for more play.
Politics and bingo are alive and doing battle in the UK and in the State of Alabama. In the UK, Gala Bingo is still fighting the bingo tax that was put on only bingo halls and not on any other gaming operations. In Alabama, the big fight is in two counties that have halls that use electronic bingo games. The judge in one county said he would order the halls that use these games to close. The judge in the other county said they could stay open until the case was heard in January. Closing the hall will put over a 1000 people out of work and will cost both county government and charities that received money from the games in fees and profits to lose money. In the case of one county the loss will be over $200,000 a month in loss fees.
The governor’s race in Alabama has entered the controversy and claims the devices are nothing but a form of slot machine, which is illegal in both counties.
Come out against gambling and get votes is the thinking of many politicians except in Nevada and New Jersey.
Since these games are legal at Indian Casinos, wonder who is getting campaign money from this monopoly in the state gaming rules. Protection of current gaming organizations is a fruitful source of money for politicians that are looking to get money for their election campaign. All they need to do is come out against the new player in the game.
Seems that the loss of county revenue and the loss of jobs in these times carries no weight when up against laws that seem to be written for votes and to protect other interests. The US law about using credit cards for gaming deposits was nothing but a play to get votes for Republicans and to protect horse racing and Indian Casino Interest. The biggest proponent of this law was in the pocket of horse racing and the casinos in his state. His campaign received over $60,000 in contributions from these two sources.
