Well, I'm in Las Vegas getting ready for the big Bluff Magazine/PlayersOnly.com party that I'm co-hosting tonight at the Sapphire Gentlemen's Club (the biggest strip club in Vegas!!!).
I still have a few tickets to giveaway, so if you're in Vegas and you like poker, lap dancers, topless servers and free drinks -- come on down! (Just send me a note to gamblogger@gmail.com so I can put you on the PlayersOnly.com guest list.)
I'll be shadowing the lovely Carrie Stroup whose face (and cleavage) is all over PlayersOnly.com. You may also know here from Gambling911.com where she's a regular columnist.
I'll also be taking lots of pictures and video clips of partying poker players and I'll post them here asap. If you come to the party, check to see if you're in them. If you can't make it, come back to see what you missed!

Slotland Games Work Great on iPhone While Most Will Not
Average Casino Software Problematic for Apple’s New iPhone
Although most other online casino games won’t work on the much-hyped new Apple iPhone, Slotland.com’s mobile games and their web games both work great on the revolutionary new device. The new iPhone, unveiled last week, is incredible in many ways but it’s critical weakness, from a mobile gambler’s point of view, is that it doesn’t support the software that most mobile and online gambling providers depend on. However, Slotland slot machines not only work two ways on the iPhone, improved graphics make it a whole new game.
Unfortunately, being from Apple, the iPhone is designed so you can only use the Apple applications provided. Users won’t be able to just download and install their choice of games. That may suck – but at least the iPhone has a fantastic web browser, so you can just play casino games at online casinos that have Flash games, right? Wrong – iPhone doesn’t support Flash or Java.
Fortunately, not all online gambling sites use technology the iPhone can’t handle. Slotland.com, one of the earliest pioneers in mobile gambling, has developed games based on html/xhtml technology rather than Java and Flash and will therefore be one of the few casinos that will work on the new iPhone.
“Like the iMac, Safari is the internet browser built into the iPhone. Officially, no third party applications will be allowed to be installed on the Apple device, so the web browser will likely be the only way to access casino games on an iPhone.” said Slotland.com’s Mobile Games Manager, John Lancelet. “Slotland has always been one of the few casinos that really worked well on WebTV browsers for the same reason they’ll be the only ones to work in customized trimmed down browsers like the one in iPhone.”
“Like a lot of people, we’ve been waiting for the iPhone for a long time,“ said Lancelet. “It has higher resolution, better quality, more graphical features… And the touch screen is going to be great for playing slots!”
Slotland.com, which features 13 unique games, is the most popular slot machine and video poker web site in the world – and it looks and works great on the iPhone web browser. Slotland.com/mobile, which is compatible with virtually every phone model including Blackberry, brings the five best games to mobile phones and PDAs and provide a simplified alternative for iPhone users.
