The strip poker as art form
Strip poker in a gallery, new York, original is not it? This at least is the project of the artist's New York Zefrey Throwell. According to his vision of the project, the parties will take place in the Museum in the sight of all. The goal is more to expose bodies, to play real parts. There is therefore no money at stake at these parties.
The project has as the name "I raise you" (I'll raise you one) with 48 participants relaying before the showcase at the sight of all (to kick 7 players per table). According to one of the players, this artistic creation would be a metaphor of the capitalist system (most will eventually brand nudes). According to some research on the Internet, note that nudity and money are with themes dear to the artist and that it is not in his first project of its kind.
Throwell artist commenting on his latest project: "I have not given dress code at my poker players. Some came with a t-shirt and jeans, others have multiplied the layers, even resemble the Michelin bibendum... "In short, the rule of the game is supposed to be the same for all, but everyone doesn't have the same chance of winning...".
For the curious who will pass through New York soon, you will have until November 19 next to admire the work of the artist to the General Gallery in Tribeca.

Distributions of the first licences eGambling in February 2012
The Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, Mark Lipparelli, revealed at a conference whose theme was the law of games online in the United States, that operators wishing to obtain eGaming license may file their candidacies beginning in February 2012. This is great news for the future of online poker in the United States. Obviously, it is here that of a single State, Nevada, but we must start somewhere. The licensing mode will be extremely rigorous. It should be noted that there are several lessons from the last black friday. Software, for example, will be studied closely and players from other countries will not be able to log on these sites (otherwise the licences will be not granted). The licences will therefore not readily available. According to estimates, the Congress think implement the legalisation of poker online in December 2012 (for Nevada only, it should be remembered).
