Whois & Analysis for monopolycasino.com

Poker is a family of card games that combine gambling, strategy, and skill.

All poker variants involve betting as an intrinsic part of play, and determine the winner of each hand according to the combinations of players' cards, at least some of which remain hidden until the end of the hand.

Poker games vary in the number of cards dealt, the number of shared or "community" cards, the number of cards that remain hidden, and the betting procedures.

In the United States, Bingo is a game of chance in which each player matches numbers pre-printed in different arrangements on 5×5 cards with the numbers the game host draws at random, marking the selected numbers with tiles.

When a player finds the selected numbers are arranged on their card in a row, they call out "Bingo!" to alert all participants to a winning card, which prompts the game host (or an associate assisting the host) to examine the card for verification of the win.

Players compete against one another to be the first to have a winning arrangement for the prize or jackpot.

After a winner is declared, the players clear their number cards of the tiles and the game host begins a new round of play.

In modern English, a casino is a facility which houses and accommodates certain types of gambling activities.

The industry that deals in casinos is called the gaming industry.

Casinos are most commonly built near or combined with hotels, restaurants, retail shopping, cruise ships or other tourist attractions.

There is much debate over whether or not the social and economic consequences of casino gambling outweigh the initial revenue that may be generated.

Some casinos are also known for hosting live entertainment events, such as stand-up comedy, concerts, and sporting events.

A monopoly (from Greek μόνος mónos ("alone" or "single") and πωλεῖν pōleîn ("to sell")) exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity (this contrasts with a monopsony which relates to a single entity's control of a market to purchase a good or service, and with oligopoly which consists of a few sellers dominating a market).

Monopolies are thus characterized by a lack of economic competition to produce the good or service, a lack of viable substitute goods, and the possibility of a high monopoly price well above the seller's marginal cost that leads to a high monopoly profit.

The verb monopolise or monopolize refers to the process by which a company gains the ability to raise prices or exclude competitors.

In economics, a monopoly is a single seller.

In law, a monopoly is a business entity that has significant market power, that is, the power to charge overly high prices.

Although monopolies may be big businesses, size is not a characteristic of a monopoly.

A small business may still have the power to raise prices in a small industry (or market).

A slot machine (American English), informally fruit machine (British English), puggy (Scottish English slang), the slots (Canadian and American English), poker machine (or pokies in slang) (Australian English and New Zealand English) or simply slot (American English), is a casino gambling machine with three or more reels which spin when a button is pushed.

Slot machines are also known as one-armed bandits because they were originally operated by one lever on the side of the machine as distinct from a button on the front panel, and because of their ability to leave the player in debt and impoverished.

Many modern machines are still equipped with a legacy lever in addition to the button.
