We\u2019re working on lots of new things for gamblers at LVA<\/em>. They\u2019re summarized below, but you might want to take advantage of this first one right away.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you live in Las Vegas or will be in town March 1 or 2, you can participate in a field study for new games that\u2019s being conducted by one of the world\u2019s leading manufacturers. These events are usually fun, but in this case, it\u2019ll be profitable too, as participants will be paid $100 for about 90 minutes of their time. You\u2019ll need to be accepted by the sponsor via a phone screening, which you can do by following the instructions in the official invite below. They need about 60 people and pairs (spouses, friends, etc.) can join in if both qualify. It\u2019s first-come first-served, so contact them right away. For reasons germane to the process, I can\u2019t give you more details, but I know who\u2019s conducting the study and that the offer is legitimate. You\u2019ll be given full details during the screening.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are seeking casino patrons in the Las Vegas area to participate in a market research discussion on March 1st and 2nd. We are looking to speak with both locals and tourists.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you enjoy all the different amenities that casinos have such as restaurants, nightclubs, shows, etc., please give us a call at <\/strong>800-507-6672<\/strong> or send us an email at <\/strong>recruit@mmrcinc.com<\/strong><\/a> to see if you qualify. Those who qualify and\u00a0participate will be paid for their time and opinions! We look forward to speaking with you\u00a0soon.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for other things that are either available now or in the pipeline, here\u2019s a quick list.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Games<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Along the lines of the above offer, we\u2019re discussing a new-games test area where game developers can put their creations up for our customers to play. At first we weren\u2019t certain this made sense, but we tried a version of it with Ultimate X video poker from VideoPoker.com that\u2019s available now. I can attest that it\u2019s fun to play, even though no rewards are involved. Do you want to understand Ultimate X? Playing this demo<\/a> is the way to do it. We\u2019re considering bringing more new games into the fold to create a cool area for players to try the latest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Comp City Slots<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is our social-gaming app. It\u2019s also free to play, though the free-play is limited, because it\u2019s a revenue-generating app. With Comp City Slots<\/em><\/a>, you can purchase play time which also leads to earning prizes, e.g., HP books and LVA<\/em> memberships. The hook here is that you can play video poker at 100%+ levels, so it\u2019s possible (though unlikely) to play for free forever. And it\u2019s for mobile platforms, so you can play it anywhere on your phone. LVA<\/em> members get a good free-play bonus<\/a> that will give you extended time on the app.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Affiliate Bonuses<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s real gambling. Online. Legal online gambling opportunities are about to explode in sports, as well as in poker and casino games. For those of you who want to play, we\u2019ll be working to create valuable bonuses for signing up through our links. We\u2019ll start with the current legal avenues in Nevada, New Jersey, and daily fantasy sports, then add on as the new opportunities arise. Keep an eye on the \u201cOnline Gambling\u201d<\/a> box in the right hand corner of the home page for offers in this area.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Credit Card Bonuses<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is another new feature we\u2019re about to launch. A ton of opportunity for consumers is created by credit card competition, and that\u2019s magnified for gambling and casino-travel customers. A new blog right here on GamblingWithAnEdge.com that covers the credit card scene is in the works and should be live within the month.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ZorkFest<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Long-time LVA<\/em> members will remember the parties we sponsored back in the \u201990s. They were epic get-togethers that included dinners, free rooms, gambling bonuses, and meet and greets, which hundreds of people attended and loved. But the organizing was too much for us to deal with at the time and we got out of the party\/conference business. Enter ZorkFest. This conference for gamblers debuted last year in Atlantic City, and even though it was put together quickly, it drew more than 100 attendees. This year, ZorkFest has been planned more carefully and is taking place in Las Vegas, May 25-27. LVA<\/em> will be involved and I\u2019ll be hanging out and running a session or two during the conference that will include Vegas podcasters, gambling notables, and travel experts. Get a $10 discount for the conference with our code zorklva<\/a>.<\/p>\n
