The Ahul Bayt news agency reports that unless the debt was paid in full by June 30, the sheikh’s share in a Bahraini royal palace is forfeit. Only members of the royal family are permitted to hold shares in such palaces, the agency reports.

Spreadex moved in April to take a share in the palace through a ‘charging order’ granted by UK and Bahraini courts to the bookmaker.

With the deadline passed, the company is now within its rights to sell off Al Khalifa’s interest in the palace, unless other royals holding a share in the property stump up to buy out Al Khalifa’s share.

The Bahraini authorities claim not to know Al Khalifa, but court documents show his UK address to be their London embassy. Application has been made for his passport to be seized.

France-bet-sportif.com is the brainchild of Olympic sailing ace Derrendinger Arnaud, a 33-year-old Brestois who raised Euros 2.5 million and expects turnover of around Euro 6 million in the first year, reports the newspaper Telegram. The investors are all Breton sports lovers with faith in the young entrepreneur, who after competitive sailing at the highest levels, founded the company in Brest.

The still small organisation has a staff of twenty and its digital partner is Technopole Brest.

“Obtaining the approval and [the] opening of the site marks the actual beginning of the adventure. After those early years of “warming up” Pari Sportif France can finally get into the game!” says Arnaud.

Iliad Gaming SAS, a company associated with Chilipoker.fr, has also received approval for an additional French domained operation titled Turbopoker.fr to operate with effect from 7 July.

“The company wired $2.3 million to the Sports & Exhibition Authority, a portion of the total of $7.5 million the casino company expects to pay each year for the next 30 years, said Greg Carlin, CEO of The Rivers Casino.

“…Carlin added the casino continues to negotiate with the SEA over various details of the arrangement and expects to reach a full agreement in the near future.

“…The Rivers Casino opened on the North Shore in August after a delay caused by financial shortfalls by then-owner Don Barden, who later sold a majority of the casino project to the current ownership.

“The new $325-million-plus area is scheduled to be open for the start of the Penguins’ 2010-2011 season…”

According to the Sheboygan Press, Jeffery M. Goelzer was pulled over at 2:44 am on suspicion of driving a stolen car. Goelzer admitted to stealing the car, which is commendable.

Then things took a turn towards horrifyingly terrible. Upon further questioning, Goelzer said that after he was released he was going to “kill his probation officer and blow up the police department.” He then said that he “hated all Americans because he was from Canada” and that he should be considered a “terrorist threat.”

Goelzer was charged with felony counts of burglary and operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent. It is unclear what additional penalties Goelzer will face as a Canadian who should be considered a terrorist threat because he hates all Americans.

The Reel Life can’t promise we won’t have bad ideas or very bad ideas in the future. But we can promise we won’t be on any terrorist list.

Get in the fast lane grandma, the Bingo game is ready to roll!

It’s a mad, mad world

It was pure insanity at Slots of Vegas Casino after a man with the nickname “MADMAN” won $224,000 in less than an hour on the Prince of Sherwood slot machine.

“MADMAN” began playing with only $50. Slots of Vegas Casino’s customer service manager Ralph Biggers was understandably impressed by this insane run.

“MADMAN was literally hitting on this slot machine just like his nickname implies. It was crazy. One minute his account was up at a couple of grand and the next minute it was over $200,000.”

He added that he had never seen such a small balance climb so quickly.

“He won over $200,000 in a period of no more than an hour. It was incredible.”

Let’s hope our big winner doesn’t go “MAD” with all of his new found cash!

The communication with affiliates attributed the shutdown to “ongoing technical issues and integration with Income Access which we are unable to resolve fully.

“We have been constrained up until now with managing this on a manual basis but it is not going to be possible to continue in this way if we want to offer the best service possible. Therefore with regret all affiliate accounts will be closed and no new affiliates will be accepted to the program.” Affiliates were assured that all accounts would be paid up.

Site attempts to contact the operation’s management were ignored despite several attempts. The industry publication EGR had more success, managing to elicit a statement – presumably from the owner – which thanked the departing md for his efforts and wished him well for the future. The statement also hinted that the affiliate program would be relaunched later this year.
