New Jersey is home to Atlantic City, one of the biggest hubs for casinos, boardwalks, and beaches. It is second to Vegas as the go-to for gamblers in the U.S. and other parts of the world. Since gambling is legal in the city and land-based casinos are generally accessible, over 70% of Jersey residents have reported that they have gambled in the past year. Statistics also show that 75% of gamblers in New Jersey prefer land-based casinos. This description is primarily valid for Whites and Hispanic residents in the city. However, it appears that a significant portion of Asian gamblers, about 40%, prefer gambling through online casinos at Mrcasinova.com/th/ the review website for asian gamblers.

By Dorothy Philbin | CNBNews Contributor Store Closings in 2022 We've been doing a lot of talking and worrying, with cause, about "mom and pop" stores and if they can survive by the time the pandemic ends. During this time, however, we haven't been looking at big box stores and those which have been in operations for more than a century. There is always "good news/bad news" in issues such as this. The good news/bad news is that if major mall stores close, the mom and pop stores pick up the slack - if they can survive that long. Some chain stores are closing completely, others are just changing their mode of operations. Is there a street corner in any city without a Starbucks? There will be more in the next year or two. The coffee store will be closing about 400 full-service stores but will be opening about 700... Read more →

Consumers Who Believe They Have Been Misled or Scammed by Sellers of Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids Should File Complaint With OAG NEW YORK — New York Attorney General Letitia James today issued a consumer alert warning New Yorkers about deceptive companies selling unregulated and potentially faulty over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. New York law requires that hearing aids only be sold by licensed audiologists or hearing aid dispensers after such a provider has performed an exam and fitting. Last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed a rule permitting the sale of a new category of OTC hearing aids that could be sold directly to consumers without an exam. While unregulated OTC hearing aids may work as intended, there is a risk that the devices could be defective or completely inadequate for the treatment of hearing loss. Advertisements for these new OTC hearing aids have already targeted New York consumers... Read more →
