Atlantic City, New Jersey (AP) -- A fire damaged part of the state Casino Control Commission headquarters Sunday, but gambling in the city should not be affected, a spokesman said. No injuries were reported. The fire destroyed a building across the street that housed retail shops, said commission spokesman Daniel Heneghan. At the headquarters, six large windows were blown out, and smoke caused some problems, he said.

Detroit -- That dog-eared deck of cards lying in your junk drawer or toy box probably has been there for years, waiting for the next round of Go Fish or gin rummy. But it's a different story at the region's casinos, where playing cars live fast, die young, and sometimes find a second life at a senior citizen home or a GI's tent in Iraq. In fact, to keep the poker and blackjack tables bustling 24/7, 365 days a year, Detroit's three casinos and Casino Windsor collectively burn though more than 1 million decks of cards a year.

Atlantic City - A former Atlantic City gaming executive who claims she was cheated out of a job after secretly helping financial giant Morgan Stanley on a billion-dollar casino project has won a ruling that keeps her lawsuit alive.

Atlantic City, New Jersey (AP) - They could be sold any day now, but the three casinos bearing Donald Trump's name have brand new five-year licenses. The state Casino Control Commission approved new licenses Wednesday for the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, Trump Marina Hotel Casino and Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort. They acted despite skepticism of rosy financial projections the casinos' parent company, Trump Entertainment Resorts, laid out for the next three years.

New Orleans (AP) -- Buoyed by a record month from Harrah's Entertainment Inc.'s downtown land casino in New Orleans, Louisiana's state-licensed casinos won USD 220.5 million from gamblers in May, state police reported Wednesday. Harrah's won USD 39.6 million last month, compared with USD 35.7 million in May 2006 when the state was enjoying reduced competition from casinos on the Mississippi Gulf Coast -- all of which were wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.

With Kirk Kerkorian wanting to buy the Bellagio, you may want to buy a casino , too, and are wondering what's left. You might not think there are any casinos for sale in town, but for the right price - think Bellagio - just about any joint might be in play, especially downtown. But watch out. As with buying a house, you need to do your homework and read the disclosure statements before signing those escrow papers. Not every casino is growing a money tree out back.

Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic party plans to legalise casino gambling next year. Seiko Noda, who heads an LDP study group that is drafting the legislation, said the target was to pass a bill by the end of the next ordinary Diet session in June 2008. The ruling party hopes casinos will spur tourism, help revitalise local economies and increase tax revenues. Opening up Japan to casinos is also likely to provide big opportunities for foreign operators, as few Japanese companies have the expertise necessary to develop the large-scale operations being envisioned.

Topeka, Kansas -- The four American Indian tribes that run casinos in Kansas are discussing ways to respond to competition if state-owned gaming complexes open in a few years.

The voices of the casino workers were heard within the Capitol today. Hundreds of red-shirted workers gathered on the North steps for a rally and then marched inside in an orderly fashion to do some lobbying. The event culminated as over two hundred UNITE-HERE members chanted from the second story of the rotunda "¡Si, Se Puede!" just steps from the office of Speaker Fabian Nunez. The dome amplified the chants as staffers poked their heads out of their office doors and the CHP scrambled to ensure the direct action did not get out of control.
