A recent article by the Guardian of the United Kingdom featured an overview of the life of Calvin Ayre, founder of Bodog online casino. The article describes Ayre as the “King of Bling.” This is an accurate description, especially since Ayre recently purchased Slots.com for an ungodly sum of money while hosting the “Anything Goes” party in Dublin for his 50^th birthday.

Pre-Bodog

Ayre’s father was a pig-farmer who was eventually arrested and convicted of smuggling marijuana. During the 1990’s Ayre was involved in a trading scandal. Following his conviction, he created Bodog and massaged the business to become one of the biggest online gambling brands ever.

Bodog Lifestyle

As profits grew from the online empire, so did Ayre’s lavish lifestyle. He appeared in Playboy and judged lingerie contests during the Super Bowl. Ayre claims to have purchased 3,000 copies of his Playboy issue. He currently owns two homes in Vancouver, three in Antigua and additional residences in Costa Rica, the Philippines and Thailand where he hosts enormous parties for shark gamblers, rap artists, bodyguards and Bodog Girls.

Places he will never revisit

With the world at his doorstep, Ayre says there are only three places he will never go: the United States, Saskatchewan and Poland. Although he made his fortune in the U.S. gaming market, the passage of the UIGEA in 2006 changed his view of the country forever. Also, he will never return to his home Canadian province of Saskatchewan, a place where the remoteness bores him. Finally, he will never go back to Poland where he was mugged.

Other Focuses

Ayre is clearly not pleased that the United States is preparing to enter the online gambling industry. However, Bodog was mentioned in the Black Friday cases but Ayre confirms that there is a no way the online casino can be dragged in. The King of Bling and the Bodog brand are currently focusing on the Asia online gambling market, a major earner for gaming. In his spare time, the multi-billionaire sponsors two soccer teams, the West Bromwich Albion and the Ayre United.

Ayre is the ultimate rags to riches story. The man enjoys his success by spending money worry-free on lavish items and throwing incredible parties for those around him. He is in the news often for this lifestyle but continues to thrive as a businessman and grow his fortune.

The most recent news reported from the United States with regards to online gambling is from the State of Massachusetts which is contemplating implementing a regulated intrastate gambling system. The proposal was filed in late January 2011 under Bill S.132. It has resurfaced because local newspaper, the West Roxbury Patch,  reported on the recent hearing from the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

Authorization of a Probationary Two-Year Program

During the hearing it was determined that the bill will authorize the Massachusetts Lottery Commission to implement a probationary two-year online gambling program. Also, there have been claims that estimate the state can expect $1 billion per year from the program. The Senator who proposed the bill indicated that the implementation of this system would be much safer for its residents then wagering at offshore casinos.

Details of the Bill

The bill is similar to the Canadian online gambling system that would require prepaid player accounts and the State would monitor all gambling activity while expanding age verification methods and work toward minimizing problem gambling. The pilot program would be used to explore Internet sales channels, implement the latest innovations and evaluate new technologies and other delivery mechanisms. A report would be issued after 18 months regarding the success of the program.

A Statement from the Treasurer

The Massachusetts Treasurer noted that the sale of online lottery tickets in addition to games of chance would violate provisions of the federal Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act due to the required payment through credit cards. The claim was countered by the fact that New York, Virginia, North Dakota, Maryland and Minnesota all currently sell lottery tickets through the Internet.

Support for the Bill

The Treasurer later stated that the lottery measure should still be passed regardless of his concerns. He felt that since Washington is moving toward a legalized online gambling system, Massachusetts should be one of the first States to take advantage of the legalization rather than being reactive.

Toward the end of 2010, provisions for the legalization of online gambling were eliminated from a larger bill on gambling. This bill proposed the establishment of new land casinos across the State of Massachusetts and was passed by both legislative bodies but vetoed by the governor. It is commendable that the state seeks to be one of the pioneers of the highly debated topic. If they can quickly implement a system, it could act as a model of other states.

Retro Reels Series

Around the beginning of 2011, Retro Reels Diamond Glitz and Retro Reels Extreme Heat were launched at the casino.

Extreme Heat

In Extreme Heat, the game is filled with flames such as the wild symbol which is a flaming dollar sign. Also, the reels catch on fire when they spin.

Ladies Nite

The two games that focus on the fairer sex are Ladies Nite and Asian Beauty. Ladies Nite has women partying alone with appropriate symbols like hunky waiters, lipstick, glittery handbags, dancing party girl, cocktails, glitter ball and perfume. The audio is represented by a musical beat and the sound of women chatting while winning sounds include popular disco songs. The game also offers a free spins feature and gamble game.

Asian Beauty

On the other hand, Asian Beauty is represented by four Japanese ladies in a more traditional environment. The symbols in the game include, cherry blossoms, lotuses, ornate boxes, silver and gold bowls and the four ladies. The best feature of the game is the Mirror Bonus which requires the player to find each traditionally-dressed lady which presents a multiplier.
