Lacey Jones is not just a talented poker player but she has been labeled several times as the “Poker Hottie”! Lacey is a certified poker babe, model, actress and TV hostess. To top it off all she has beauty and brains and was recently nicknamed the Poker Barbie.
Jones started playing poker as a kid when on vacation with her family in South Carolina. The Jones Clan usually spent their time at their beautifully designed beach house playing poker all night. At the age of 22, she graduated from the Arizonian University and made her way past the mainstream poker tournament on ESPN. She was actually hired as a model for these tournaments and since she possessed the right skill to tackle poker, the online poker overlords Absolute Poker hired her to represent them at some of the events. This was truly her big break into the poker world.
All she needed to do there was look pretty, but instead Lacey stunned her fellow players when she finished 32nd out of 360 players in the field. After this incident, Absolute Poker approached her once more, sponsoring the beauty to play along with Mark Self and to brush up on the finer points of the poker game.
The training seemed to be a big help and paid off well for Lacey’s next big events. She went on to cash in three tournaments in the year 2006. Starting from 2005, she participated in the World Series of Poker and still continues to do so every single year without fail. Her favorite games are 7 Card Razz and Seven Card Stud poker… Am guessing her favorite number is Seven!
In 2007, Lacey was asked to host and present the poker bracelet for the World Series of Poker event. The same year she hosted the U.S. Poker Bowl for Fox Sports and the Borgata Poker Open. Lacey Jones is considered the Woman of Poker and the Poker Barbie. The now 30 year old plans on going to law school and still continue to do what she does best.

If you are a fan of the Marvel characters and its fascinating muscular superheroes in skin tight jumpsuits, capes and masks then things just got a little more heated up at the online casinos with the arrival of the Iron Man. Well, not the brawny Robert Downey Jr., although I wish it was… it is Playtech’s new online slots game that has been recently launched. Have you played it yet? The game is super cool I must agree.

The theme is based on the Iron Man movie that features the rich playboy and genius engineer Tony Stark as the Iron Man. The Iron Man Slots game is no different from the real one and features realistic virtual characters of the Iron Man, Missiles, Titanium Man, Justin Hammer, energy blast, briefcase, blueprints, Stark Enterprises, yachts, money and lot of other familiar characters presented on each of the five reels. The game is set to 20 payable lines and the special features in the game include the bonus round, free spins, scatters, wilds and multipliers. The jackpot gives out a maximum of 5000 coins and a minimum of 1000 coins. The game has a coin denomination of as less as $0.01 to $5. The game is exciting from start to finish and if you bet max on each of these pay lines it definitely increases your winning potential. It’s a lot of money right up from the jackpot in the game to the Stark Enterprises. Iron Man has it all; the stash, the glory and of course the charm is no harm

Just the other day I was wondering what it would be like if celebrities could design their own slots games. Picture what the Kanye West online slots game would look or sound like? Well, although this might sound crazy and entirely out of the question, just imagine celebrities marketing themselves on slots games. I should agree oodles of marketing would definitely pay off very well to their career.

Like in the case of super cool bands like U2 who have fully embraced and accepted the idea of using some of the most pumped up technology to add more hype and popularity to their brand name and their upcoming tours. The band lately signed up for the “Blackberry Loves U2” that presents the U2 Mobile Album commercial. Bono, Lead Singer of the U2 band, has been engaged with Apple to help sell their iPods since the time it launched in the market and this latest sell-out is not so surprising.
…Thus the idea of coming up with this article of introducing “Celebrity Inspired Slots Games”. You can imagine the Kanye West Slots Machine game, can’t you? It would have some of the coolest music and glitzy lights with big jackpots being won quite often. Atleast this time Kanye won’t be dissing Taylor Swift about her music! On the other hand, Lady Gaga and her poker face would honestly be the most fashionably hideous slots game in the casino.

My all-time favorite American actress, film producer, former supermodel and award winner for the Best Actress in movies like Basic Instinct and the unforgettable Casino.
Casino was a crime drama film directed by the eminent Martin Scorsese that starred Robert De Niro (Ace Rothstein), Joe Pesci (Nicky Santoro) and Sharon Stone (Ginger).

Stone was gorgeous in the movie giving it her best and did you know she had dieted very hard for her role in the Casino movie, which nearly killed her? The actress was reported to have starved herself to death before the filming of Casino desperate to impress the most talented director of all times, Martin Scorsese. Even though she was looking “skinny and out of it”, it paid off when she was awarded the Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama at the Golden Globe Awards for her role in Casino.
As stated by the actress herself, she accepted of nearly physically killing herself on a very threatening diet while shooting the movie. Stone pulled off “drug overdosed” death scene in the movie that led to her Golden Globe and Academy Awards for the role.
The actress claims to have eaten absolutely nothing for the final week of filming and her main aim was to look like a complete wreck, lose as much weight as she could and become completely skinny.
Stone is currently starring in a new film “Streets of Blood” that co-stars Val Kilmer, 50 Cent and Michael Biehn. The movie is directed by Charles Winkler and the film is centered on two cops who are busy dealing with the unruly behavior of New Orleans and the post-Katrina environment.

Jessica Simpson was all up for having babies and is quite hung up on the idea lately… well, not her, but she wants her sister, Ashlee Simpson to have more babies.

On Ashlee’s 25th birthday, at the Wet Republic pool in Sin City, big sis Jessica made a comment of wanting her sister to think about having more babies as she liked the idea of being aunt to a new nephew or niece.
Enough of the baby talk but it was more exciting seeing them in Las Vegas last weekend. Both the sisters jetted down to Las Vegas on Saturday morning along with a few friends and of course family. Part of the family included hubby Pete Wentz and their parents Tina and Joe.
Ash’s pool party was a bit noisy though when she was surprised by a delicious three-tier cake topped with cupcakes… She was too thrilled that she ran up to the DJ box and requested Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” not sure if it offended the not-dating-anyone Jessica Simpson.
Guess Vegas was a celebrity hot spot last weekend… Besides the Simpson’s birthday bash, Jessica and ex-hubby Nick Lachey along with girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo joined together for a night’s gambling. They were later seen at The Beatles Love hosted at Cirque Du Soleil at The Mirage Resort and Casino.
Vanessa Minnillo was also spotted at the Mirage’s 20th anniversary partying with Courtney Love, Nicole Scherzinger and Chris Daughtry among a few other celebrities and artists. Kylie Minogue also performed at the Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort and Paris Hilton along with new boyfriend Doug Reinhardt were seated at the VIP skybox and later partied at the nightclub Body English.

The Isle of Man online gambling software provider has come up with new games this October. The games feature various themes like precious metals, Kung Fu monkeys and baboons and explorations in the ice age. Along with these new games, Microgaming has also launched a new prestige poker game.
Kung Fu Monkey is a 5-reel video slot game comprising of 15 paylines themed with hilarious martial arts and kung fu kicking monkeys. The interesting part of the game includes: the usual Wild and Scatter symbols, Multipliers, Free Spin features, a new third level of game play plus a bonus feature. To get to the bonus round you need to brush up on your kung fu or karate skills to get past the ninjas and other obstacles that come your way, to free a hostage and win additional rewards.

What attracted me most to this game was the brilliant use of color, designs and graphics that makes the game come alive. The special characters you would find in the game are: gorgeous oriental maids, hilarious yet professional ninja monkeys and intimidating baboons. If you had signed up for those karate or judo classes in school then it’s time to make use of it against the Big Bad Boss gorilla you need to defeat to win your bonuses or to even progress in the game.
The new Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker was also launched recently along with the other games and has joined Microgaming’s Gold Series games. The game adds new characteristics to the classic poker game and its features like the appearance of chips, animations and card flips makes the game come to life. The rules of the game are almost the same as the usual Texas Hold’em Poker game. It is played with a 52-card deck but the only difference is that there is no bet after the River round.
Pure Platinum is the new bling thing in gambling. This is another Microgaming powered video slot game that consists of 5-reels and as many as 40 paylines which includes gaming features such as the Wild and Scatter icons, free spins and multipliers. This game is themed on profligate luxuries and the icons you will find are expensive watches, bling rings and platinum ingots. This game has it all… so if you want to be a “Playa” then keep your eyes on the stash and load of winnings!
The last of the new games is the Wooly World that is themed on the ice age and comprises of 5-reels and 20 paylines. Once you part of the game, you will have to navigate through the frozen land and encounter with a host of prehistoric characters such as the amusing critters, hairy mammoths and cheery cavemen. The wilds and scatters in this game make it even more pleasing for players.

Thanks to the legal excuse involving discrimination laws, 65-year old Abraham Kortotki along with several other men who were allowed to participate in the “Ladies” No Limit Texas Holdem Poker event that was held in Atlantic City. Not only did he get lucky entering the tournament but this 65-year old had nothing stopping him from winning the tournament. Now is this fair or what?
Well, Nicole Rowe who came in second place didn’t think so! She even made a disappointing attempt to split winnings with Kortotki, who obviously rejected her proposal. Kortotki’s win was a legitimate one as few of the men were legally allowed to sign up and take part in the poker tournament. To cool off things a bit, the poker winner has promised to contribute about $20,900 of his cash prize towards breast cancer charity, coincidentally a condition Nicole Rowe was diagnosed with.
I don’t see the need for the unusual “ladies” poker tournament. What’s the purpose in that? Men and women should have a chance of playing at any of the co-ed events at the Borgata tournament and it is quiet fair that Abraham Kortotki be offered the chance to be a winner.
If you are looking for a good online casino to play at (where there is no discrimination) then you can choose your favorite poker game at Bodog Poker. Bodog offers you different types of tournaments like daily tournaments, beginner’s tournaments, freeroll tournaments, Bodog Poker Points tournaments and lots more. All you need to do is open an account at Bodog Poker and sign up at any of the available tournaments.

The Mirage was rocking hard this Friday October 2nd hosted by the high octane daredevil Slash, former lead guitarist of Guns N Roses. Slash performed with his old time pals and fellow guitarists Rick Nielsen and Joe Perry. The late night carnival as one would call it, was a blast and was held at the Bare Pool Lounge at The Mirage with these world class performers, artists and celebrities like Courtney Love, Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls, Rob Zombie, Jason Bonham, Kim Kardashian, Marisa Miller, Tommy Lee and the show was emceed by Kiefer Sutherland, the Brit-born Canadian actor. It was a good show and Courtney Love was hyped up tossing aside the poolside to read lyrics to the “20th Century Boy”…
The show spilled over to an after-party at the Jet where more celebrities like Nelly, Ciara, Perry Farrell, Robin Antin, Apl.De.Ap, Lou Ferrigno, Rasheda Ali and many more joined in later that night. The show was held to commemorate Mirage’s 20th anniversary celebration and the concert was a true variety show. It was a great show and even better with an onstage visit by Slash’s stormy wife, Perla. She was all dolled up with snuggly shorts and lace stockings… Hope that didn’t embarrass her husband…

The vocalist for the rest of the evening was Vegas’ native Franky Perez and relished his evening performing with the greatest stars and artists: Slash, Perry, Rick Nielsen, Matt Sorum, Duff McKagan and others. Franky Perez cheered out to the Las Vegas crowd and his high school, Bonanza…! The show was opened by the Joe Perry Project followed by the exoctic performer Scherzinger and then Love walked in with the most ridiculous thing to say at an anniversary… Atleast, she’s no dummy! But fans liked the haggard-sexy look she still carries off.
The Mirage Resort and Casino is one of the biggest and most sophisticated on the Vegas Strip. The Resort cum Casino is known for its erupting volcano presentation to its high-limit casino games and sportsbooks.

Online gambling sites are always on the look out for new and unique betting material. Every now and then up comes something that really whets the gambling appetite and now it’s the turn of none other than the popular Pop Star Lady Gaga, who is all geared up to appear at the MTV Video Music Awards tonight. The alleged hermaphrodite is allowing rumors about her sexual anatomy to become a matter to bet on!
The rumors originated at a concert at Glastonbury where glimpses under the pop stars outfit was said to reveal both sex organs. This led to wild rumors of the pop icon’s sexual orientation. Never to let any opportunity go a begging, online casinos have now turned this into a betting offering. They are now offering patrons the chance to bet on what lies beneath the pop star’s skimpy outfits.
Springing into fame with the hit single “Poker Face” Lady Gaga is taking the Madonna way to stardom turning computerized tunes into dance songs, and like that more illustrious crooner, she believes that any publicity will only help her reach stardom. Fueling speculation about her sexuality are her ever obscure answers on that subject, neither confirming nor denying the rumors just saying it did not matter. The famous “My beautiful vagina is offended.” quote when pinned down at a press conference in Berlin which only added fuel to the already raging rumors.
Forever looking for ways to extend her moments of fame, Lady Gaga is going to get as much mileage out of this controversy as she possibly can, knowing that soon the public eye will turn to the next new thing. In the mean time gamblers will continue to bet on the pop stars extra genitalia but will have to wait till the truth finally comes out.
