Gamblers Go on Rampage in PA
ALLENTOWN, PA (Gambling911.com) - One gambler damaged an elevator then got stuck in it, another vandalized a parked jeep. Both casino patrons allegedly acted out after big losses.
An unidentified Harrisburg man walked into an elevator and then repeatedly kicked the elevator doors causing it to get stuck in between floors.
He was trapped and needed to be rescued by Grantville, Pa. firefighters, according to Pennsylvania TV station WHTM.
Apparently he was oblivious to the fact that there are cameras all over the casino, including the elevator.
On Dec. 9, Christopher Motta, 27, of Pittsburgh, was banned permanently from the gaming property in connection with a prior theft only to attempt another theft of a vehicle in the casino garage.
Forget that there were cameras, PA state police were watching Motta and his friend as they departed the casino. Motta attempted to conceal his identity by covering his head with a jacket.
Investigators said Motta had taken a loaded gun and holster from the victim's vehicle. Motta was charged with violations of the Uniform Firearms Act and theft-related offenses.
Haley Cuts Into Trumps Lead in NH (Latest Odds)
MANCHESTER, NH (Gambling911.com) - Former US President Donald Trump still leads in New Hampshire, but the one time South Carolina Governor and United States Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has consolidated much of the non-Trump vote and has emerged as the top alternative to him there. Among the top candidates, Haley gets the best marks on being seen as "likable" and "reasonable," and she runs nearly even with Trump on being "prepared" — notable, considering he held the presidency. She has been running in part on electability and is now seen as the most electable of Trump's challengers.
Oh, but here is the best part.... At BetOnline she still pays $700 for every $100 to become the next President.
She's been cracking down on Trump of late.
“I think Jan. 6 was a terrible day, and I think that the tone at the top matters,” Haley said in an interview that aired Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
“When President Trump had the opportunity to stop it, when he had the opportunity to say – the bully pulpit matters, people listen – he didn’t,” Haley added. “I hate that for the people who were there supporting him. I hate that for those of us that were watching it.”
