Risk is the life-blood of the human race. It’s baked into our DNA. Anyone who’s spun the reels on the slot machines in a mobile casino knows that a little risk can make you feel really good! However, there are different categories of risk. When we look at some of the most famous names in business, showbiz, philanthropy, not to mention heroes of the struggles for freedom around the world, we realise that they all have one thing in common: an appetite for risk. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, as the saying goes. These ten people prove the truth of this expression. [Read more…]

Modern-day men and women are still fascinated by the civilisations that went before us, but no one period in history holds us in as much thrall as that of Ancient Greece. Maybe it’s because it has impacted so much of life as we know it, shaping everything from government and law to mathematics and science. Or maybe it’s the Greek myths? There’s something fantastic about deities who suffer from the same spite, jealousy, and pettiness that mere mortals do. If the popularity of slots featuring these stories at online casinos is anything to go by, there’s something to be said for fallibility! [Read more…]

Who was Hee Jin?

Did Kim Jong-Un kill his uncle for gambling?

North Korea is no holiday camp. A lot of things that are completely acceptable around the world will get you into big trouble, even killed. Playing games in a mobile casino, for instance. If you get caught gambling, not only do you get imprisoned in one of North Korea’s frightening penal colonies, where people are often tortured to death, but your family is punished as well – North Korean law demands that three generations of a family pay for the crimes of one family member. When Kim Jong-un put his uncle to death, the fact that he was a gambler was used to justify his execution. Even more dangerous than gambling, though, is – prayer. Yes, while a hand of poker can land you in jail, getting on your knees before the Lord is likely to get you killed without ceremony. As one respondent to a study by Christian Solidarity Worldwide said, “If someone was found to be a Christian, they would be immediately shot.” Remarkably, though, the church is growing, with an estimated 300 000 Christians – Christians who, like the North Korean grandmother of Hee Jin, are prepared to risk everything to keep their faith alive.

The Serial Entrepreneur

You win some, you lose some – it’s when you start playing smart that you start losing less than you win. Everybody who plays online casino games knows this, and so does Richard Branson. Adventurer, business magnate, investor, author and philanthropist, Branson has an instinct for when to bid and when to fold. Today, he has so many businesses, he struggles to keep track of all of them! With a net worth of $4 billion, he’s not the biggest fish in the sea, but he’s certainly not boring. With a knighthood from the British government for “services to entrepreneurship”, Branson has inspired many successful entrepreneurs. Above all, he’s known for having a well-developed appetite for risk. Few businessmen have taken as many gambles as Branson. Some of them failed, but Branson has mastered the art of rolling with the punches like none other, and he always comes back for more. [Read more…]

Risks That Change The World

What does it take to change the world? Some might say a great invention. Take the automobile. Today’s world is defined by the cars we drive. The modern lifestyle is totally centred on the needs of cars – the roads that are built for them, the spaces set aside for them to be parked. The shopping mall is just an extension of the road network, if you think about it – you get in your car, drive to the mall (while thinking about your favourite online pokies game that was inspired by cars), park, do your shopping and drive home. The mall wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for cars. However, the mere invention of the automobile wasn’t enough to change the world on its own. What it took was a visionary who was prepared to put everything on the line to take the car to the people. That man was Henry Ford, and he risked everything to change the world. [Read more…]
