How Australia's biggest pokies dynasty is rewriting its legacy
By Maddison Connaughton

Len Ainsworth built an empire on poker machines — devices that changed gambling forever. Over the last few decades, he's quietly shifted his attention, and power, towards philanthropy.

Seen in a sex ad on a BDSM site, paraphrased:

"BBQ date night!

I'm going to go for BBQ, and I'd like a woman to join me.

Oh, I won't be able to pay for your meal. Don't let it discourage you."

:catthinking:

Yo, dude! What's in it exactly for your "date?" They are going to get the pleasure of your distinguished company, and that's it?

His profile is not expansive either, and the fact that he calls himself a "blackjack fanatic" right off the bat in his profile, coupled with the fact that he's not going to pay for his date's meal, makes me think: gambling addict.

:headache:

(For the record, I don't care who pays what. Last date I had, we each paid for our own stuff. It's just that the ad and the profile are not exactly enticing to start with.)

Miriam Adelson's support for Trump notwithstanding, the tariffs are part of the dynamic that will likely see her move the team to Las Vegas. It's what happens to all people who support Trump. 🎲 🃏

The Mavs moving to Vegas remains a possibility 🏀

Hmmm... so perhaps unsurprisingly, it looks like Denise Coates may be cashing in at Bet365, with a potential payment of around £5bn if things go well with a (partial or complete) sale....

I wonder what the UK's richest woman will do with all that money?

Not that this is a new issue for her, of course.

“The #Labor MP #JeromeLaxale has expressed his “disappointment” in the #Albanese government’s #failure to restrict #gambling #ads and called on the party to “honour the legacy” of the late #PetaMurphy if re-elected.

Laxale, a left-faction MP who is trying to hold on to the ultra-marginal New South Wales seat of #Bennelong, said he was “sick of seeing betting odds linked to live sport” and told #voters in his #electorate there was “a strong #reform package coming”.

The Albanese government has not taken changes to #gambling #regulation to this election and has faced sustained criticism from #PublicHealth experts and political pressure for shelving plans to restrict gambling ads, in the face of opposition from #sporting codes and #broadcasters.”
