Gambling In Bars

1. The Casino Club Port Talbot in Wales – believed to be Britain's first legal casino – was established in 1961 by gambling mogul George Alfred James. James opened several casino-cum-cabaret and fine dining establishments in the 1960s, including the Charlie Chester Casino and Golden Horseshoe in London and the Kingsway and Grand Casino in.
2. As restaurants and bars continue to suffer devastating losses from COVID-19 shutdowns across the state, a movement to bring in “video gaming terminals” appears to be gaining some traction.

  Approved independent testing laboratories for commercial and video lottery gaming facilities:

  • Gaming Laboratories International, LLC (GLI)

  • BMM Testlabs

  
  

  Video Lottery Terminals and Electronic Table Games: Similar in appearance to classic slot machines or as simulated classic table games, these terminals are linked to a centralized system maintained by the Gaming Commission that tracks the game play and earnings for each game.
  

  • Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) have the same appearance as slot machines. VLTs must receive winning outcomes transmitted by the central system.

  • Electronic Table Games (ETGs) offer video versions of popular casino games like roulette, craps, and baccarat. ETGs are capable of generating winning outcomes at each table.

  Video lottery gaming operations began in 2004 at Saratoga Gaming & Raceway in Saratoga Springs and have since expanded to eight additional facilities. As of January 1, 2013, there were 17,213 such machines operating in New York State.

  Indian Gaming: In 1988 Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act permitting federally recognized Indian tribes the ability to conduct gaming activities under certain circumstances. This law allows traditional Indian gaming, bingo, pull tabs, lotto, punch boards, tip jars, and certain card games on tribal land. However, it requires a Tribal/State compact for all other forms of gaming. Three tribes have lawful gaming in New York State:
  

  • The Seneca Nation of Indians operate the Class III Seneca Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls, the Class III Seneca Allegany Casino, the Class III Seneca Buffalo Casino in Buffalo, and Class II bingo on both their Cattaraugus and Allegany Reservation lands

  • The St. Regis Mohawks operate the Class II Mohawk Bingo Palace and the Class III Akwesasne Mohawk Casino, which also houses Class II poker games

  • The Oneida Indian Nation of New York operates the Turning Stone Casino, which houses both Class II bingo and poker, as well as its Class III gaming operations.

  The Gaming Commission maintains a constant twenty-four hour presence within the gaming facilities of the five Class III facilities to maintain the integrity of all activities conducted in regard to Class III gaming, and to insure the fair and honest operation of such gaming activities. Additionally, the State conducts background investigations on all employees of the casino and enterprises who conduct gaming related business with the casino to ensure their suitability. Pursuant to each Compact the State jointly regulates Class III gaming facilities with a Nation or Tribal Gaming Agency, respectively. Class II gaming activities, e.g., bingo, pull tabs, lotto, punch boards, tip jars, and certain card games, are regulated by the Tribe in conjunction with the National Indian Gaming Commission, although tribes, under certain circumstances, may self-regulate these activities.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced new restrictions Monday afternoon amid a spike in COVID-19 positivity.

'A second wave is here,' Murphy said. 'This is our reality.'

Starting Nov. 12, restaurants, bars, clubs, lounges must close indoor dining by 10 p.m.

NEW: We’re taking action to stop the spread of #COVID19.

Effective Thursday, November 12th:

☑️No indoor dining between 10:00 PM – 5:00 AM at restaurants, bars, clubs, and lounges

☑️Outdoor dining, takeout, and delivery services may continue past 10:00 PM

— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) November 9, 2020

The positivity has ticked up to 6%, and the numbers have been going up across the Tri-State area.

Murphy told CNBC Monday morning that he 'will take some steps,' described as 'tweaking our parameters at the edges,' to help curb rising coronavirus case.

'They won't come close to what we were doing in the spring,' he said. 'This is not a lockdown.'

Casinos in Atlantic City will also not be permitted to serve food or alcohol during those overnight hours.

☑️Casinos must stop serving food/drinks at 10:00 PM

☑️All barside seating will be prohibited

☑️Restaurants may place tables closer than 6 feet ONLY if separated by barriers

☑️Individual fully-enclosed dining bubbles may be set-up for outside use

— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) November 9, 2020

Indoor bar seating had up to this point had been covered under the state's indoor dining regulations, but it will now be prohibited.

The new restrictions, which will take effect Thursday, will not affect outdoor dining. Restaurants will be able to continue building out their outdoor dining, including setting up outdoor igloos.

Restaurants and bars are already limited to 25% indoor capacity, a restriction that is not expected to change.

Addressing indoor sports tournaments spreading the virus across state lines, the state will ban indoor interstate sports for elementary, middle and high school students. College and professional sports will not be affected.

NEW: Starting this Thursday, ALL interstate games and tournaments for indoor youth sports – up to and including high school – are prohibited.

It is simply not safe for teams to be crossing state lines at this time to participate in indoor competitions.

— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) November 9, 2020

The rules are being put into effect two weeks before Thanksgiving to combat indoor dining spread during the holiday season.

Private indoor gatherings remain the state's primary concern, but lacking enforcement power in private homes, the state will continue to ask residents to keep gatherings to immediate family members.

The state has had infection rates as high as 8% within this past week.

He will detail the changes in restrictions at 1 p.m. in Trenton.

Murphy also discussed news that Pfizer's vaccine may be 90% effective, according to preliminary data, urging caution.

He said that while the trials are 'really, really good news,' its six-month vaccine distribution timeline will not change the state's short-term reality.

'We are sort of in a six-month window here...where we have to battle against the COVID fatigue, stop letting our hair down with holidays coming up,' he said. 'So the answer is it doesn't change us in that window, but it's really really good news in the longer term.'

State Health Commissioner Judith Perisichelli told '60 Minutes' Sunday night that the first batch of vaccine from the federal government will be enough to inoculate just 10% of the state's high priority health care worker category.

She said a state survey of health care members found 60% of the physicians would get the vaccine, and just 40% of nurses.
