What's with these little internet cafe's popping up all around NC with this "Pot O Gold" sweepstakes, and the little sweepstakes video machines in convenience stores? My wife and I saw one of the internet cafe's yesterday out walking... I haven't been in one, so I was just curious.

As I understand it they are psudo legal gambling establishments.

I dont know exactly how they work but it has something to do with buying lottery tickets that allow you to play games. If you win then they manipulate the lottery in such a way that they can pay out.

Some weird sidestepping of the video poker ban.

This is what I figured... some loophole in the gambling laws being exploited.

It's video poker. For each dollar you play, you get a minute of phone time on a printout but some places don't give that to you. You give the money to someone who works there then they use a little remote thing to put your money in the machine.

The pot o gold is the bonus if you hit a certain combination and it sends you to a screen where you select a pot of gold which multiplies your winnings by the amount uncovered in the pot.

Sounds hokey to me...

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Hurney 2.0 and Fitts were so bad I don't know if it was intentional or they were that abysmally clueless. Fittershits panicked repeatedly being on the back end of positional runs while Hurney couldn't evaluate anyone outside of the 1st.  I can't figure out why Plummer still has a jersey. There's no reason. Dalton brings nothing to the table. If another QB gets cut that has given a glimmer of anything better than what we have, we should look, and that goes for every position.  I cant get over how much different this team could have been with a competent GM and having accepted the Rams offer for Burns. This franchise could have gone in a totally different direction.

      I thought tanking wasn't actually a thing and we were firmly against it though?

      I think they are watching to see who’s going to be available before they make theirs official. Probably working trades too. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t cut anyone today.
