Annie Duke is now the Commissioner of the Epic Poker League, which is reportedly in the process of an acquisition deal with Pinnacle Entertainment. In an interview given to The Las Vegas Sun Annie was dismissive of the younger poker professionals. Annie said, “When somebody wins the Main Event, in general, they are known for a little while, and that’s kind of it. There are lots and lots of winners in the last five years, yet none of them have become huge stars and none of them have been able to generate the ratings that the original poker players did. The

Special to GamingToday

Edging its way into the rarified air of the big time gaming industry, the state of Florida has been on a crash course to rival such stalwart states as New Jersey, California, Mississippi, and even Nevada.

Only 20, even 10, years ago such a notion would be characterized as ridiculous, crazy, impossible and disastrous.

Well, it’s interesting what a down economy can produce quickly and successfully in the way of big boy gaming.

In 20 years Florida’s gone from a comatose pari-mutuel industry to introducing a lottery, then allowing children into race tracks, followed by cross track simulcasting, to national and then international simulcasting, to penny ante poker rooms, to full bore poker tournaments, to state of the art slots and electronic blackjack at the South Florida race tracks: full bore Racinos.

This, while elected legislators and governors insisted repeatedly gaming was inconsistent and unnecessary to the Sunshine State. Goi

As for my targets this week I did manage to reach 100 games, but I had to bump from 4 tabling to 6 tabling on the last day to reach my target. It has made me realize that I feel pretty comfortable playing that many tables and might just stick with it. With school,kickboxing and my social life I think 6 tabling will be easier to reach my target of 100 games per week. So we will see how that goes. As for making any money I am sorry to report that I have lost some BIs and that my bankroll is shrinking.

Game changes that have been in the works for months — perhaps years — are finally going into effect this month.

Tickets for the multi-state game are doubling in price to $2 beginning Jan. 15.  While the odds of winning one of the game’s giant jackpots also are improving, those in charge of the lottery are gambling that people are willing to pay more for the hope of becoming a millionaire in a down economy.

“With the price of everything else going up, there’s not much you can get for a dollar anymore,” said 28-year-old Ryan Raker, of Des Moines, Iowa, who buys a ticket once a month.  He says he’ll probably play less frequently now.

Lotteries have long sold regular people on the hope of becoming rich quick by simply picking a lucky combination of numbers.  Some play loved ones’ birthdays or anniversaries in the hope that fate may point them in the direction of a jackpot.  Selling that hope is easy; less so is predicting consumers’ sensitivity to price changes.

Powerball’s move follows the model of scratch ticket games, which once were all $1 but now are offered at higher prices with the chance for bigger prizes.

The evolution of scratch tickets and the creation of families of games that offer tickets at different prices has proven successful across the country, said Rebecca Hargrove, president of the Tennessee Lottery.  Scratch games like Win for Life in Illinois, Jumbo Bucks in Tennessee and the Crosswords game in Iowa have all been successful, Hargrove said.

“The more choices you gave players the higher the sales were,” Hargrove said.  “A family of games at multiple price points created the most excitement. Once those k
