Aussie Pokie Heist Leads to Arrest of Three Men

     In the last edition of tPPR staffers detailed the record wins of video poker machines in Australlia. Seems players are now striking back. Direct from the New South Wales Government Police blotter page comes the story of three men who will face charges of aggravated break and enter offenses. The males aged 21, 18, and 17 are alleged to have broken in to several area business armed with knives, swords, and bars. More than one million AUD in damage and stolen money is the total damage attributed to the trio. Break ins began in the area in November 2007 and hit a total of four separate police jurisdictions.

- First the authorities arrest the robbers of an American poker player robbed while in Sydney and now this? Bravo Australian police force! Either your criminals are exceptionally dimwitted or you are an apparent model of efficiency for the rest of the world.

- If you have any spare time, staffers believe the New England Patriots could use assistance investigating the disappearance of their piece of Sports History.

Social Networking Site Facebook to Enter World of Online Poker

     According to the fine reporters here at Poker Pages, the online social networking site Facebook is set to open a freeplay poker client to be called Ujongo. As one of the leading sites for keeping in touch with old friends, meeting new ones, or researching old classmates, Facebook has historically offered an interface friendly only to socializing. However, after a study in which the popularity of poker among Facebook users was high, the site decided it would be prudent to offer a freeplay client for the amusement of their users. Players are not allowed to make real money wagers, playing instead with points provided by the site which can be later exchanged for promotional prizes.

- tPPR is always glad to see a new ally join the ranks of the other poker sites available to the public. And it isn’t a poor move for your business should online poker be legalized and regulated in the future.

- tPPR staffers predict a continued upswing in the popularity of online poker ownership as the US moves towards a new President.

- tPPR staffers also predict a continued upswing in the popularity of the cinnamon role in the tPPR offices. And naps.

That’s the report for today. Check in again later this week for the next edition of tPPR.
