Little Las Vegas slot club in big trouble

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) – A small Las Vegas slot machine club has gotten itself into a large heap of trouble over a $5 pay-out.
A complaint has been filed by the state Gaming Control Board against City Limits slot club for allegedly hindering the state agents’ investigation of the unpaid $5, the Las Vegas Sun reported. The complaint, prepared by the Nevada attorney general’s office, was filed against the club and its licensees, Sherril, Damian and Stasia Doom. The complaint asks the Gaming Control Board to take action against the owners of the club.
The whole issue began when Sheila Mathews said she was cheated out of a $5 payout while playing at City Limits. The bartender refused to pay Mathews and told her that she was not playing the machines and ordered her to leave the club. She called the Gaming Control Board, and agent Victor Ingram responded, but the club would not believe that he was a legitimate agent and would not talk to him.
The official complaint says the refusal to cooperate with the agents constitutes an unsuitable method of operation, asking that the club owners be fined.

Dear Yahoo!:
What does “auld lang syne” really mean?
An Old Acquaintance
Dear Acquaintance:
The words “auld lang syne” mean “old long since” or “times long past.” They show up in a song traditionally sung in many English-speaking countries on New Year’s Eve (or Hogmanay, in Scotland) .
The lyrics as we know them were written as a poem in 1788 by Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns. However Burns noted it was an old ballad, and he “took it down” from a man who was singing it.
The earliest reference to the well-known lines comes from the 15th century. However the best-known written connection to Burns’ work was a poem published in 1711 called “Old Longsyne” and attributed to either Sir Robert Aytoun or Francis Sempill.
The old Scots dialect can make the lyrics difficult to understand and remember. Even in Scotland, many people don’t get the words right. It’s the thought behind the song that really matters — remembering old friendships in the new year.

Another fantastic video from those up-and-coming animators at Blur Studios. I don’t know of any better studio outside of Pixar or Dreamworks.
