The 2016 WSOP has come to a close. The main event concluded today with Las Vegas native Qui Nguyen winning the WSOP main event, and capturing just over 8 million dollars (before taxes) in prize money. This was the first time I covered the WSOP events and there were plenty of note worthy happenings that […]
Waiting for Wednesday
Bonnie and I regularly shop at a Sprouts Farmers Market, a grocery chain found in a few Western states. It’s kind of like a health food store — with less expensive produce.

At this year’s G2E gaming show, I published a discussion of new video poker games — written for casino managers. You can see that here.
