From Dublin, Ireland I traveled on to New York City, then to southern California. The Baudrillard-America trip had begun. Moments after entering Nevada by car, we encountered Whiskey Pete’s casino. Here an important Baudrillard conference had taken place in 1996. It was dusk as I walked across the parking lot, my right jeans pocket loaded down with American quarters that I needed to quickly sacrifice to the slot machine gods. I knew that I was standing at this spot for perhaps the only time in my life. The first and the last time. “No two moments of your life are exactly alike” — the clichéd sentence from some book on consciousness that I had read rose up in my mind...

Saturday, March 30, 1996 | 11:59 a.m. The gaming halls together reported revenue of $4.08 billion, up from $3.77 billion in 1994. Nicholas R. Amato, executive director of the Casino Association of New Jersey, said Friday that several reasons contributed to the casinos' strong 1995. "Expansions and renovations of existing casino facilities (allowed) the Atlantic City casinos to provide more slot machines and new games," Amato said. "This when combined with management's ability to contain costs were major contributing factors for the successful 1995." Casino revenue - or win - is the amount of money taken in from gamblers. It is not profit. Trump Taj Mahal led the 12 gambling halls with 1995...

Our History In May of 1995, after intense planning and three years of negotiation at the local, state and federal level, the Siletz Tribe opened a 10,000 square foot temporary facility known affectionately as “The Tent.” With only 250 slots, 12 card tables and a small deli, “the tent” opened under the name “Chinook Winds Gaming Center.” Meanwhile, just north of the temporary facility, construction began on Chinook Winds’ current home. Just over one year later, the grand opening of Chinook Winds Casino Resort’s permanent facility took place on June 28, 1996. The Casino offers over 1100 slot machines including a non‐smoking section and a high stakes lounge. Table games include Blackjack,...

CHICAGO/DETROIT (Reuters) - For Detroit, the road in and out of U.S. bankruptcy court is paved with casino money. An economic lifeline, wagering tax revenue from the city’s three casinos is at the heart of the bankruptcy plan submitted by Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr, and it is behind the surprise rejection of a deal with banks last week that has thrown a wrench into Detroit’s route and timing to recovery. Moreover, some $330 million in assistance pledged by a coalition of philanthropic groups, including the Ford Foundation and the Kresge Foundation, will not begin flowing to Detroit until it exits bankruptcy, the head of one group told Reuters. Michigan voters in 1996 approved...

The prospect of a new casino in the Greater Toronto Area — maybe in downtown Hamilton — is sure to revive local memories of the Great Downtown Casino Debate of 1996-8. It was back in the days of the Mike Harris Conservatives that the provincial government hatched the idea of licensing a network of 44 charity minicasinos across Ontario. The clubs were expected to earn $810 million for the government and $180 million for charities that had just been cut off from operating their own Las Vegas nights. Each club was to feature up to 150 slot machines and 40 table games. Originally, there were also to be video lottery terminals, but that plan was dropped in the face of public opposition. The...

NetEnt was founded in 1996 and has its roots in the traditional casino world and what was then Cherryföretagen. In 1963, AB Restaurang Rouletter was founded by Bill Lindwall and Rolf Lundström. In 1968, a partnership was established with AB Roulett konsult & Spelautomater, founded by Per Hamberg and Lars Kling. The operations attained national reach and in 1972 the name Cherry was registered, with the cherry logo. After a couple of eventful decades, Bill Lindwall’s son, Pontus Lindwall, founded NetEnt in 1996.
