"Mobile is the next big idea in the bingo market," says Louis Dion, President and Founder of World Entertainment. "Bingo is the most popular game with the largest customer base in North America.

It was truly a frightening Halloween for people at a bingo game in Washington County.

A gunman wearing a "Scream" mask barged in and demanded money.

People inside the hall say the man even fired shots forcing people to dive for cover under tables at the Eagles Lodge in the City of Washington...

Soon after Britney Spears announced that she was expecting her first child with dancer husband Kevin Federline, bookies started taking bets on what her child would be called.

According to Fox News, bookies have suggested that the pop singer will possibly go for a name with a royal connection due to her reported infatuation with male members of the British Royal Family.

Hills make William and Harry the joint 20/1 favourites for a boy and offer 20/1 on Zara or Grace for a baby girl.

On the surface, it sounds great. More money for education. More money for fire companies.

But is cranking up local and statewide gambling activities the best way to provide for these services – seen by many as critical and basic?

As we all know, the Legislature approved Gov. Ed Rendell’s plan to legalize gambling in Pennsylvania, and use the “profits” to support schools. Unless the timetable changes, people will be pulling the handles of slot machines across the state sometime next year and sending money into school coffers – despite widespread opposition among school boards to Act 72...

It's been just over three months since the sad death of POPE JOHN PAUL II, who died at the age of 84 in April after more than 20 years as the head of the Catholic church. Now, the Hallmark Channel is going to task as they tell the story of the late KAROL WOJTYLA in a new TV movie.

"Karol: A Man Who Became Pope," airing Monday, August 15, is the true story of the late Pope, who actually viewed the film before his death. It begins with him as a young boy who resisted the Nazi occupation and whose faith guided him to papacy.

A Las Vegas-style casino has been approved for the Wind River Indian Reservation. Two nonprofit groups and a maker of electronic bingo machines, asked the Wyoming Supreme Court to overturn a judge's decision that electronic bingo is illegal gambling. Powerball, with jackpots topping $300 million, is making its way right up to Wyoming's border - literally right up to the border, in the case of one northern Colorado lottery vendor.

More than 100 years after Wyoming lawmakers outlawed gambling, is gambling making a comeback?

Virgin's Offering is Now Live on Parlay-Based St. Minver Bingo Network

Parlay Entertainment Inc. , the world's leading supplier of Internet bingo solutions, is pleased to announce that Virgin Games has launched its newest online offering, Virgin Bingo, using Parlay's flagship multi-player bingo software.

The launch was celebrated in spectacular fashion on May 27th at The Roof Gardens in downtown London, and was hosted by Sir Richard Branson, Chairman of the Virgin Group of Companies.

Much of what was on display at the 2005 Global Gaming Expo (G2E), which was held earlier this month at the Las Vegas Convention Center, revealed not only a glimpse at what the future holds for the games we'll be playing but also how the casino operators will exercise greater control over what we play and how we play them.

The first major technological step toward this end took place several years ago with the creation of ticket-in/ticket-out slot play, eliminating the need for coins and blazing the trail for what has become the cash cow of virtually every slot floor around the country: multi-line penny games.

Some were veteran players and some were there for the first time. Some were up in years, some were middle aged, and some were young people. If you have nothing to do for a couple of hours on a Friday night, and you want to get out for a while, come join the happy band of Bingo players at the Arizona City Community Center, and you might even go home with one of those jackpots. You must be 18 to play.

Doors open at 6 p.m., and the Early Bird games begin at 6:45. Regular games start at 7 and run until about 9:30 with an 8:30 intermission for refreshments, restroom, and an outside smoke if you are so inclined.
