These 6 videos by Bob Dancer and Jeff Compton, two of our top writers and the foremost experts in the field of video poker and slot clubs, have already received a great response from our readers. We expect to expand the market for these videos to gift shops in casinos across the United States as well as on other E-commerce areas on the Internet.

ACIT has doubled in a month
and has lots more to go. Co. went public a few yrs. ago at $6 and fell to .25. Last 3 quarters have been profitable and next one will be too. Stock has been moving up to a little over $1.50 in the last month and I think this one will be back to $6 in the next 9 - 12 months. Low risk, high reward play. Buyers have been accumulating anticipating the break. |
