Vegas Technology recently released a new slot game entitled, “Mile High” which has a theme of air travel with a comic twist. All casinos in the English Harbour Group will feature this game including; Millionaire Casino, Caribbean Gold Casino and VIP Slots Casino. The background of the game is the sun with the reels in the foreground as a cloudy sky; similar to looking out the window during a flight.

The symbols on each reel directly relate to the flight-theme. The most important symbols in the game include:

• Laughing pilot
• Bulging suitcase
• Male passenger
• Air hostess
• Airplane

If the laughing pilot symbol is hit, the highest jackpot is accessed at 8,000 coins. The other jackpot symbol, a bulging suitcase, provides a win of 5,000 coins. The male passenger symbol only appears on the second reel and is one of two wild symbols. The passenger’s face exhibits lipstick kiss marks with the animation of him being embarrassed by the flirtatious nature of the air hostess.

The second wild symbol is the air hostess who only appears on the fourth reel. This symbol also substitutes for all other symbols other than the airplane icon which is the scatter symbol. This icon offers scattered payouts if at least two appear on any reel. The animation of the airplane symbol is fitting as it shows the plane flying through the clouds. More than three airplane icons activate the free spins bonus round.

In the bonus game, the player has three options to balance the number of free spins with the payout multiplier. This number of choices adds a great deal of excitement to the game. Option one equates to 12 free spins and the two wild symbols offer double payouts. Option two equals eight free spins with the wild symbols multiplying payouts by nine. The final option is five free spins with the wild symbols multiplying by 16.

Another bonus game activated on the reels is Kiss Kiss Kiss Bonus which is accessed when three or greater kiss symbols appear anywhere on the screen. The symbols are lips that blow kisses. Once triggered, players must choose one kiss symbol to win a prize 50 times the original bet. If the Win All symbol is uncovered, all three prizes are awarded.

Mile High is a unique and exciting new slot game from one of the leading online gaming providers in the industry. Since the game is available at a variety of casinos, the game is sure to draw in new clients.

LV Air is a new chartered plane service that features direct flights from New York to Las Vegas with incredible perks. The operator plans to fly four nonstop flights per day between John F. Kennedy International Airport and McCarran International Airport beginning as early as August 2011. If this airline is successful, this could significantly increase the number of individuals flying from New York by 50 percent per day.

Sean Smith, LV Air’s top executive, states the company will fly four wide-bodied 767 jets and contract the seats with casinos around Las Vegas. The primary goal for this innovative idea is to fill Las Vegas hotel room’s vacationers, players and conventioneers by creating a straight line from the customer to the casino floor.

First-class cabins are planned to be sponsored by different casinos and feature their décor, uniforms, meals, carpet and other in-flight accessories. Another interesting service is straight-to-room baggage service in which once the passenger checks their bags in New York, they will not seem them again until the bags appear in their hotel room, waiting for them.

Also, when passengers check-in to their flight, they are concurrently checking in to their hotel room in Las Vegas. This includes room keys so the passenger does not have to wait in line at their hotel. To add the icing to the cake, onboard safety instructions will be recorded and displayed as a holographic image of Las Vegas celebrities. These include iconic celebrities that can be living or dead.

Most of the in-flight services utilize advanced technology that has been recently released for consumer use. These additional in-flight services include:

• Meal packs from top Las Vegas chefs
• 18-seat first class cabin with full reclining seats
• Inter-seat texting
• Inter-seat video
• Mood lighting
• Wi-Fi access club music
• Wireless iPads

LV Air is the Cadillac of flights. Unfortunately to have this type of service, you will pay a pretty penny. However, the hassles saved and experience offered may be beneficial if you can afford the price tag. Since the Northeastern section of the United States is teeming with wealthy individuals searching for a comfortable and luxurious airline to bring them to Sin City, New York is an excellent place to start.

If this idea is successful, the company may be able to increase their flight locations to other major cities in wealthy areas. Although this is a niche marketplace, the idea could greatly expand to a major airline company for the rich.

The two Scandinavian countries that have state-owned online gambling monopolies are Norway and Sweden. According to local press, both nations are facing problems of varying nature. In Norway, it has been reported that 4 percent of the gaming population over 18 years of age gamble at foreign websites. On the other hand, Sweden has reported a decline in the net revenues from online gambling for the second straight year.

In July 2010, Norwegian legislature placed a block on financial transactions to and from foreign gaming sites. The Culture Minister Anniken Huitfeldt has publicly stated that tougher measures will be developed to punish those engaging in unregulated online gambling. The strongest measure the government plans to enact is ISP filtering to block foreign internet gambling operators which include poker rooms and online gaming sites. This has been successful in other European Union countries.

The proposal for ISP filtering is not popular among the liberal political segment and the media. Ove Vanebo, a liberal leader, opposes the idea stating that citizens cannot be shut out of overseas gambling sites by politicians. The publication, Liberalen, indicated that such an act is Internet censorship which breaks the bipartisan consensus in Norway.

In Sweden, the acting CEO of the online and land gambling monopoly confirms the decline in gaming revenue is a result of the measures implemented to alleviate problem gambling in the country. The processes to curb problem gambling essentially limit the amount of gaming in Sweden. The CEO has suggested that in order to remain competitive, a broader range of games should be offered at casinos which would bring new licenses for new games in demand.

Some of these measures enacted by Sweden in 2010 include:

• Responsible gaming awareness and education
• The acquisition of responsible gaming company Playscan AB
• Imposing an age limit of 18 to purchase lottery tickets

However, it is clear these same measures used to help those with a gambling addiction or who are developing a problem is decreasing the amount of gaming revenue earned by the country. Sweden is in the midst of finding the correct balance between expanding revenues from online and land-based gaming and enacting measures to help those with gambling problems.

To limit the access of foreign online gambling sites, Norway must find a creative way to please all parties. Unfortunately this is typically a difficult task. The measures enforced by Sweden to minimize problem gaming are doing exactly that, decreasing the number of players at online and land-based casinos. However it is performing a necessary function. Both countries need to find the same balance other European nations have between the government and their players.
