Antar is a convicted fraudster who faces the prospect of additional prison time in November for a scheme in which he cheated friends and relatives of money he used to feed his compulsive gambling habit.

It's also fun because, well, it's fun. Like its ward-based forbear, Two Point Campus has a colourful look and a lightly sardonic sense of humour.
Your establishment's tannoy will blurt out advice like: ‘Students are reminded to set reminders.' And rather than a redbrick, you're more likely to be setting up a castle-like school for knights, with classes in jousting.

That's because I've been playing Two Point Campus, the new game from the delightful people who brought us Two Point Hospital. Both are management simulations, which is one of the most misleadingly anodyne names in all gaming.
As people who grew up playing Theme Park in 1990s will tell you, managing things can be tremendously fun.

'This is the funfair, exactly like you don't remember. With every game hooked up to innovative RFID wristband tech, and a bespoke app that logs gamers' scores, tracks leader boards and takes bragging rights to a whole new level.'

I'm doing this because of a recent(ish) change of policy at Sony. They used to be very guarded about their ‘PlayStation exclusives' — which is to say, games that could only be played on PlayStations and not any other console.

The company, which aims to run analytics on data stored on blockchain as well as outside of it for smart contracts, plans to use the funding to hire more engineers, said Nate Holiday, co-founder, Space and Time.

This makes your university a joy to zoom in on, to get a closer look at its cartoon weirdos, with names like Dennis Gutterflake and Synapse Periwinkle, as they handle rayguns in science class or flirt near the statue of love.

But I was soon back to gaming, thanks to that swinging mechanic. Press a button to send Spider-Man Tarzanning through the air, release it to have him drop. Up, down, up, down, with a few embellishments along the way. It's a masterpiece of momentum, and it never gets boring.

Even when Marvel's Spider-Man threatens to be like other games — sending you to some part of the city, so that you can beat up some goons, so that you can upgrade your skills — there's always its amazing take on simply getting around.

Sept 27 (Reuters) - Space and Time, a decentralized data analytics platform, secured $20 million in funding from a group of investors led by Microsoft venture capital arm M12, valuing the company at $300 million.

Antar played live dealer blackjack and online slots, sometimes for 24 hours straight, he said in his lawsuit; he bet more than $5 million in one 16-day period in January 2020.
During the nine month period covered in the suit, he made more than 100,000 online bets.

And Two Point Campus certainly is fun, not least for its gameplay. If you've played a management sim before, then you'll know what to expect: you lay out the rooms and furniture of a university; hire teachers to do the teaching, janitors to do the maintenance; then try to keep everyone happy — especially the students — while making some money along the way.

'I've been in prison once, and I'm probably facing prison again, and it all had to do with me not being able to admit to myself I was a compulsive gambler,' Antar said in an interview with The Associated Press Thursday.

This is partly because of its blockbusting scale. Even the Marvel Cinematic Universe struggles to compete with this grand comic-book story, told across about 20 hours, and full of both spectacle and (brilliantly voice-acted) character work.

"There is massive amounts of data and use cases coming from blockchain technology's multi-chain world, and insights and data from centralized data stores ... and Space and Time sits at the bridge that links them," Holiday said.
'I cannot put in enough words my gratitude to you, and Pkv Poker how much I owe to you. We will miss you so, so much. Thank you for everything my friend. I am sending all of my love to you and all of your family.'

Without the enhancements for PC, Marvel's Spider-Man was a stunner. With them, it's, er, splendiferous. Its version of Manhattan Island is a crystalline complex of light rays and reflections that sometimes had me gawping rather than gaming.

The suit also references an October 8, 2019 text message from an MGM representative that read, 'OK, let's do this: I need you (to) email me that we are closing the case and that you will no longer contact (the Borgata president) or the DGE about the case,' referring to the Division of Gaming Enforcement.

He also claims the companies paid him near-daily bonuses totaling $30,000 a month to keep him playing and to entice him not to report problems with the games to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
