Cleveland Has Been Named the Lottery Capital of Ohio
Known by many as the Rock ‘n’ Roll Capital of the world, Cleveland, Ohio has now been dubbed the Lottery Capital of Ohio by the online lottery information site LuckyLotto. This comes as no surprise to Jeff Geffert of Mentor. “I could see how this could be true,” says Geffert, an avid lottery player. “Cleveland is a dying city with a ton of blue collar people that play the lottery everyday in hopes of striking it rich and improving their plight.”
LuckyLotto, an online lottery website specializing in lottery news and information conducted a study of the lottery in Ohio that yielded some surprising results. LuckyLotto reported that Cleveland, in Northeastern Ohio, has more lottery terminals per capita than any other city in Ohio.
According to the official Ohio lottery website, Cleveland has 492 lottery terminals. That is 5.97 lottery terminals per square mile. And Cleveland residents are keeping these terminals busy. “It seems like we have been selling more tickets lately. Especially when gas goes down a couple cents, people seem to buy more lottery tickets,” says Matt Jones, cashier at the local Cleveland Speedway station.
While it may seem more likely that Columbus, Ohio’s capital, would have more lottery terminals, that is not the case. Columbus has only 2.45 lottery terminals per square mile. In fact, big cities Cincinnati, Dayton and Akron were all outperformed by Cleveland when it came to lottery terminals per capita.
With the current state of the national economy, many may be surprised to hear that the lottery is booming in Cleveland, a city that has long suffered from economic instability. Contrary to popular belief, a decline in the economy does not lead to a decline in lottery play. According to Ashley Martinez, a cashier at the Cleveland BP station, Cleveland ticket sales have been up lately. “I estimate that 1 in 3 customers buy a lottery ticket when they come into the store.”
The truth about the lottery is that someone always wins and people always hope that it will be them. When the economy struggles, people seem to have more hope that they will win the jackpot. As a result, a decline in the economy seems to lead to an increase in lottery play. Cleveland lottery players say they would welcome the sale of online lottery tickets. Players in an unfamiliar neighborhood would not have to wonder where to buy lottery tickets-they could use their cell phone to make an online lottery purchase!
No matter what the reasons for the immense popularity of the lottery in Cleveland, LuckyLotto is pleased to name Cleveland the “Lottery Capital of Ohio.”
Hollywood Boulevard Review
Hollywood Boulevard is a slots game present on a number of online casinos. The game itself gives players a chance to delve into the lives of the Hollywood rich and famous. This is your chance to stand on the red carpet, be in the spotlight and wait for the paparazzi to take your million dollar photo.
Hollywood Boulevard is a 5-reel, 20-line slot machine game with several bonus features, such as a Progress Jackpot, Free Rounds, Wild and Scatter Symbols.
All symbols used in Hollywood Boulevard come straight from the red carpet itself. During your fame, you will encounter Hollywood stars, beautiful actors, stretched limousines and clapperboards during this fun slots game. High value cards are written on California license plates. The reels are encased in film and the sound of the movie reels unfolding in a classic light bulb project accompanies every spin.
The symbols pay Left to Right. To obtain a winning combination you are required to match at least 2 symbols. The value depends on what symbols you have on the valid paylines. The minimum stake per line is 5p, with a maximum of £2.
This maximum stake of £2 allows the player to win the full Progressive Jackpot value of £650,000 by matching 5 Star symbols on any selected payline. Now those earnings will really put you amongst some celebrities!
A lower bet will pay a percentage. For example, for a 30p bet per line the Jackpot reaches £98,000. The Star symbol is also the Wild symbol which can substitute for all other symbols except for the Paparazzi.
To activate the Free Round at least 3 Paparazzi symbols must be scattered amongst the reels. The number of Free Spins won depends on how many triggering symbols have occurred in one game. Players receive 10 free spins for 3 symbols, 15 free spins for 4 symbols and 20 free spins for 5 symbols. The feature can not be retriggered and any Paparazzi symbols that occur during the Free Round will pay only their pay table value.
Take a stroll down the Walk of Fame in search of that great Jackpot that is out there. Obtaining this might get you one step closer to earning you a star on the famous Hollywood Boulevard!
