yup yup   I have seen this article too and also several similar articles.......I would LOVE to see a casino game involving (or incorporating somehow)  STRATEGY games into the mix. something like a CHESS aspect to the gambling whereby those of us with strategic or tactical acumen can shine.....and I do not mean the "STRATEGY"  that we loosely apply as terminology to what we do with VIDEO POKER......I hardly call it Strategy when I simply MEMORIZE the correct hands and holds and plays.     It is about as simple and straightforward as you can get......whereas games like Chess, or even Live POKER (like No limit or Seven Stud, or even Omaha) entail a whole lot of thinking and calculated risk and ploys!I'd love to see a casino game involving wargames like the Board games of old, from companies like Avalon hill (I remember playing games like GETTYSBURG, waterloo and the Battle of the Bulge, just to name a few....most of these games involve Dice and other elements of chance to reflect real life uncertainty and FOG OF WAR to go with the strategy and skill of Generalship)   Casinos could literally host TOURNAMENTS of such games and take their RAKE.....lord knows, In atlantic city, there are a CRAPLOAD of VERY large empty unused conference rooms doing nothing at all.....seems a no brainer.

The no brainer is that there may be gaming regulations against putting games of chance in VERY large empty unused conference rooms without these same VERY large empty unused conference rooms having gaming licenses attached to them. King me...

Stratego....great game...almost as good as Risk, but not quite.

King me...Which is why  the Nevada gaming comm (and New Jersey as well) are ruminating fast and hard on this very subject, so I have no doubt we will all very soon be able to play H.O.R.S.E. for money, or darts, or Beer Pong, or............?????And i am certain that if (as an example) the TAJ Mahal (which obviously has a casino license in New Jersey), has 25 HUGE empty conference rooms,  the TAJ is more than able to plop a few MONOPOLY boards in those empty rooms, and allow its customers to play for real money!  (hey I think I just invented a possible "new" casino money making game here!    Monopoly with REAL Money/BUCKS!!!)    No one is going to have a cow even if the NJ gaming comm takes its time approving "Monopoly for Money" while the Taj makes its customers happy.

Stratego....great game...almost as good as Risk, but not quite. Risk was definitely better, so long as you had equally matched players who are serious about playing....Stratego was good for kids, but it never failed, there was always some dolt who would surround his flag with bombs and put one of his pieces(like a #7, a Sargeant) inside this "fortress" to ambush the Miner(#8) who inevitably would come to defuse the bombs and get to the flag....except when he ran out of all his other pieces and could not MOVE,  the remaining #7 sargeant  was of no help because he was trapped by his bombs and could not move, therefore he would lose by being unable to move!

We would leave the Risk game set up for days in the neighborhood at one of the gangs basements. One kid had an unbelievable knack for rolling sixes. He would attack a huge army with just a few of his own. He once rolled triple 6 three consecutive times. I would like to see some new games other than just punching buttons too in Ct.
