Matthew Davey — Chief Executive Officer and Director
Mr. Davey has over 25 years of experience within the digital media, sports, entertainment, leisure and gaming ecosystems, as well as experience in the public sector. He is an experienced public company executive officer and board member. He has served in executive management positions across the gaming technology arena. Over the course of Mr. Davey’s career, he oversaw more than ten mergers and acquisitions and over $1.2 billion in debt and equity capital raised to support the companies he has led.
Most recently, Mr. Davey was Chief Executive Officer of SG Digital, the Digital Division of Scientific Games Corp. (“Scientific Games”) (Nasdaq: SGMS). SG Digital was established following the purchase by Scientific Games of NYX Gaming Group Limited (“NYX”) (formerly TSXV: NYX), where Mr. Davey served as Chief Executive Officer and Director. The NYX acquisition provided Scientific Games with a vehicle to significantly accelerate the scale and breadth of its existing digital gaming business, including the strategic expansion into sports betting. In his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of NYX, Mr. Davey developed and implemented a corporate strategy that generated strong revenue growth. Mr. Davey shaped company strategy to focus on digital gaming supplier platforms and content that provided various gaming operators with the underlying gaming and sports betting systems for their online gaming business. In 2014, Mr. Davey oversaw the initial public offering of NYX, and his experience in the digital media, sports, entertainment, leisure and gaming industries helped NYX recognize momentum as a public company. After the public offering, from 2014 to 2018, Mr. Davey oversaw seven acquisitions which helped establish NYX as one of the fastest growing global B2B real-money digital gaming and sports betting platforms. These acquisitions included:
• OpenBet: In 2016, NYX completed the $385 million acquisition of OpenBet. This was one of the more complex and transformative acquisitions that Mr. Davey oversaw at NYX. Through securing co-investments from William Hill (LSE: WMH), Sky Betting & Gaming and The Stars Group (formerly Nasdaq: TSG, TSX: TSGI), Mr. Davey was able to get the acquisition from Vitruvian Partners completed successfully, winning the deal against much larger and well capitalized competitors. By combining two established and proven B2B betting and gaming suppliers, NYX was well positioned to provide customers with exciting player-driven solutions across all major product verticals and distribution channels. This allowed NYX to become the leading B2B omni-channel sportsbook platform in the market and the supplier to over 300 gaming operators globally with an extensive library of desktop and mobile game titles, including more than 700 on NYX platforms and more than 2,000 on the OpenBet platform.
• Cryptologic/Chartwell: In 2015, NYX completed the $119 million acquisition of Cryptologic and Chartwell. The acquisition provided NYX with more than 400 titles of additional leading gaming content, a broader customer base, and direct exposure to PokerStars and Intercasino, part of the Gamesys Group (LSE: GYS) — two of the world’s largest online casino offerings.
• OnGame: In 2014, NYX completed the distressed acquisition of OnGame, a premier poker content, platform and service provider. This acquisition provided NYX with one of the best poker products in the industry, access to several regulated jurisdictions, and a valuable talent pool that was instrumental in the growth of NYX. The addition of OnGame further established a path for NYX to continue its growth in both European and U.S. markets.
These acquisitions, together with meaningful organic growth, increased NYX’s revenue from $24 million in 2014 to $184 million annualized in 2017. During that time, Mr. Davey helped build NYX to have over 200 customers in the global gaming industry and a team of 1,000 employees. Mr. Davey’s success at NYX ultimately led to its sale to Scientific Games for $631 million in 2018.
Mr. Davey joined Next Gen Gaming, the predecessor to NYX, in 2000 as the Vice President of Technology, was appointed as Executive Director in 2003 and named Chief Executive Officer in 2005. Prior to that, he was the Senior Consultant for Access Systems, a company that specializes in the provision of back-end software for licensed online casinos. Prior to joining Access, Mr. Davey worked for the Northern Territory Government specializing in matters pertaining to the internet and e-commerce along with roles in the Department of Racing and Gaming. Mr. Davey received a Bachelor of Electrical & Electronic Engineering from Northern Territory University, Australia (also known as Charles Darwin University).
Robin Chhabra — President
Mr. Chhabra has been at the forefront of corporate acquisition activity within the digital gaming landscape for over a decade. His prior experience includes leading corporate strategy, M&A, and business development at two of the global leaders in the digital gaming industry, The Stars Group (“TSG”) and William Hill, and a leading supplier, Inspired Gaming Group (Nasdaq: INSE). Mr. Chhabra served on the Group Executive Committees of each of these companies. From 2017 to May 2020, Mr. Chhabra served as Chief Corporate Development Officer at TSG and, from 2019 to August 2020, he also served as the Chief Executive Officer of Fox Bet, a leading U.S. online gaming business which is the product of a landmark partnership between TSG and FOX Sports, a transaction which he led. During that period, Mr. Chhabra led several transactions which transformed TSG into the largest publicly listed online gambling operator in the world by both revenue and market capitalization and one of the most diversified from a product and geographic perspective with revenues of over $2.5 billion. Mr. Chhabra’s M&A experience is extensive and covers multiple global geographies across the digital gaming value chain and includes the following:
• TSG/Flutter Entertainment Merger: In 2019, Mr. Chhabra led the TSG M&A team that was responsible for TSG’s $12.2 billion merger with Flutter Entertainment (LSE: FLTR). The merger between TSG and Flutter Entertainment is the largest transaction in the digital gaming industry to date. The combination created the largest publicly listed online gaming company with approximately 13 million active customers and leading product offerings, which include sports betting, online casino, fantasy sports and poker. The combined entity includes some of the world’s most iconic digital gaming brands such as Fanduel, Fox Bet, Sky Bet, PaddyPower, Betfair, PokerStars and SportsBet. TSG/Flutter Entertainment is one of the most geographically diverse digital gaming and media companies with leading positions in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Germany and Georgia.
• TSG/Sky Betting and Gaming (“SBG”): In 2018, Mr. Chhabra led the acquisition of SBG from CVC Capital Partners and Sky plc, Europe’s largest media company, in a transaction valued at $4.7 billion. At the time of the acquisition SBG was the largest mobile gambling operator in the United Kingdom and one of the fastest growing of the major operators having doubled its online market share in three years. The acquisition of SBG provided TSG with (a) greater revenue diversification, significantly enhanced expertise and exposure to sports betting just ahead of the judicial overturn of The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) by the U.S. Supreme Court, (b) a leading position within the United Kingdom, the world’s largest regulated online gaming market, (c) improved products and technology as a result of the addition of SBG’s innovative casino and sports book offerings and a portfolio of popular mobile apps, and (d) expertise in deeply integrating sports betting with leading sports media companies, positioning TSG to create more engaging content, deliver faster growth and decrease customer acquisition costs.
• William Hill (LSE: WMH): At William Hill, from 2010 to 2017, Mr. Chhabra served as Group Director of Strategy and Corporate Development where he led several transactions which contributed to William Hill’s transformation from a land-based gambling operator in the United Kingdom to a leading online-led international business. Mr. Chhabra led William Hill’s entry into the U.S. sports betting and online lottery markets with the acquisition of four businesses, including the simultaneous acquisitions of three U.S. sportsbooks, Cal Neva, American Wagering and Brandywine Bookmaking, in 2011 for an aggregate purchase price of $55 million. These businesses ultimately led William Hill to achieve a leading position in the U.S. sports betting market with a market share of 24% in 2019. Additionally, Mr. Chhabra played a key role in structuring William Hill’s successful joint venture with PlayTech Plc (LSE: PTEC) in 2008. The combined entity created one of the largest online gambling businesses in Europe at the time of its formation and led to William Hill’s buyout of Playtech’s interest for $637 million in 2013. Prior to the transaction, William Hill had struggled in its attempt to establish a strong online gaming platform and a meaningful presence outside the United Kingdom.
Mr. Chhabra has also successfully completed four transactions worth over $1.2 billion in Australia, the world’s second largest regulated online gambling market, and various partnerships in Asia. Additionally, he completed several technology and media related transactions, including William Hill’s investment in NYX, where he worked with Mr. Davey on NYX’s transformational acquisition of OpenBet.
Prior to working in the gaming sector, Mr. Chhabra was an equities analyst and a management consultant. Mr. Chhabra received a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Pranav Tigress strides in a huge steampunk esque look, a fan huffing along to the back of his tall shoulders. “Ready…” He huffs into a trumpet.
“Set…”
He blows.
“GO!” He blows the Trumpet again and suddenly the steampunk look falls to the ground, revealing a manly suit. “Surprise.”
Pranav Tigress: “As my darling says, Roar.” He smiles. “I am Pranav, Drag… and Real Husband to Priya Tigress. I am a Pageant King at heart- but I love, love to take it to a strange place. Make it a bit strange, avant-garde… weird. Camp it at the core of Pranav Tigress- I mean, I am an Indian Drag Pageant King! It’s a thousand differing perspectives at once, creating… myself. Mr Tigress.” Pranav smiles. “I am just… in awe. It’s here, and I am ready for this.”
Pranav sits on his stool. “King Entering the werkroom first… a good sign.”
Francesca Cartier shines in a glittering gold dress, covered in thousands of rhinestones. Adorned on her neck is a sparkling diamond necklace- her face effortless painted, and huge curly brown wig on show. “Someone had to steal the show.” She smirks.
Pranav gasps. “Fran…”
“Oh my love, it’s always a joy to see you.” She kisses Pranav on the cheek, leaving a mark. “You still look amazing…”
“And you…” Pranav smiles. “I am speechless.”
“These?” Francesca shows her earrings underneath her huge wig. “Tiger inspired. Ready for the jungle.”
Francesca Cartier: “Hello, Superstars. I am Francesca.” Glitter slides across the screen. “I am the Mother and Father of the Haus of Cartier. Though I may have a reputation…” Fran looks into the camera. “I can tell you I am nothing of the sort. The Cartier’s are the definition of DRAG. A Drag Artist should have multiple skills in the book- visuals, performance, comedy. That’s what I do. Always excellent with a smile.” Fran grins. “I don’t limit myself to the binary. I am sometimes Francesca Cartier, Glamorpuss Performer… and other times, Franesco Cartier, Bio King who loves to play with femininity. I was a trained ballet dancer for 16 years, something I love to put into my drag. I promise you, a Cartier… always shines.”
Pranav Tigress: “Me and Fran were… involved before Priya. It’s hard because… Priya’s not a fan. So it’s been a while. And now we’re here, in this room… together.”
“How have you been?” Pranav smiles.
“I’ve been fabulous. Grabbing titles…” Francesca laughs. “I won-”
“Ms Gay Makeup 2022.” Pranav smiles.
“Keeping track?” Francesca laughs.
“Oh, no.. I just love to watch the videos…”
Francesca smirks. “Well, I hope you liked the leather ballet show…”
“I did.” Pranav grins.
The Aspect of Gambles twirls into the werkroom in a huge starry cape, tophat and a cane. “Let’s do some..” Gambles snaps his fingers… and the cane transforms into a bouquet. “FUCKING MAGIC!”
“Oh.” Francesca laughs.
“GAMBLES!” Pranav yells.
The Aspect of Gambles: “I’m the Aspect of Gambles, and I’m a fucking mess.” Gambles laughs. “Wait, Wait… Let’s Rewind. I’m the Aspect of Gambles, and I’m the King of Magic. I am 50 Years old, living in Vegas and yes… I am a real Magician. To me, Drag is the goddamn RUSH of performance. The drive. The WOW. That’s what The Aspect of Gambles is. Pure… performance… MAGIC. I’m new to drag, but not to magic. Smile, don’t worry… that’s what I want to deliver. As you can probably tell from my name… I am of the Royal Haus, yes… The Wealth branch and proud.”
“Brother…” Pranav hugs Gambles tightly.
The Aspect of Gambles: “The Tigresses and our Branch is really close. Pranav? Practically family…”
“Oh, so cute…” Francesca grins. “Francesca Cartier…”
“Oh.” Gambles nods. “Lovely to meet you…”
“You look marvelous.” Francesca smiles.
“Let’s be honest, I look like CRAP compared to you!” Gambles cackles.
“Oh…” Francesca laughs. “Don’t say that...”
Ina Only struts into the werkroom in black boots so high they reach her butt, a tight rockstar mini dress and a huge spiky haired look. “This isn’t Dragula All Scars…”
“Woah.” Gambles smiles.
Ina Only: “I’m Ina Only, and I am a SUPERSTAR. Most people would know me as being Top 3 in Season 2 of DRAGULA… and yes, I’m the first Dragula Queen on Virtual Drag Race… and isn’t that sick.” Ina laughs. “On my last detour, Ina was a shy Punk… Horror Queen who often let her performance get in the way by doubt. But I’m not her anymore. I have the confidence, the attitude and the dance skills. To all those Monarch’s who said… ‘You Belong on Drag Race, not Dragula…’ well… maybe you were right. Because I’m taking this crown.” Ina smirks.
“Ina Only!” Pranav smiles. “Dragula!”
“God, the diversity in this season already… it’s fantastic.” Francesca smiles. “You look sickening.”
“Made it all by myself.” Ina grins.
“UGH, she can sew too!” Gamble laughs. “The one thing I never really got…”
“You do know what show we are on, right?” Pranav smirks at Gambles.
Gambles laughs, punching Pranav on the shoulder. “Tomana, you dick....” He smirks.
Omega Maddorufu walks into the werkroom, their huge frame on display, muscles in opposition to a flower country style simple white gown. “Thus Muscle Queen has a few secrets up his sleeve.”
“Yes Muscles!” Ina laughs.
Omega Maddorfu: “Hey Hey Hey!” Omega laughs. “I am Omega Maddorfu and MAN… I am excited to be here. Omega is inspired by my hometown- Rustic, Mature and Country. I am a tall dude out of drag, and yes… I am a bit of a Jock. I love transforming into the Drag Superstar- It’s about having fun, making people smile… and going MAD. Drag is a fun little hobby for myself- I am a university student, studying psychology by day… and a Drag Queen by Night. It’s a bit wild. And it certainly… complicates getting a girlfriend sometimes. Who knew women would find a straight drag king weird?” Omega grins.
“Hey Everyone!” Omega waves.
“What’s your name?” Pranav smiles.
“Omega Maddorufu.. Dallas, Texas.” Omega smiles.
“What do you do, Omega?” Francesca grins.
“Perform. I live to dominate a stage, man.” Omega claps into his hand. “It’s so much damn fun.”
“Love it.” Gambles grins.
Damocles Nigel Dragan walks out in a look that has him appearing to be a part-dragon, mid-transition into the full Draconic form. He spins… and wings extend outwards, and the true form is revealed.
Damocles Nigel Dragan: “I am Damocles Nigel Dragan… and I am here to take your hand, make you smile… and open you to a world of your wildest imaginations.” Damocles smiles. “I am a Drag King, and the definition of transformative. My drag is conceptual, crafty and character based. I love to theorise, think, then create in the world of reality. Not simple… not dramatic, but transformative on both a mental… and internal level. Drag is… a world for all, and I’m here to welcome those to a whole new take on it.”
“So fantastical…” Ina nods. “The quality…”
“Thank you. It was… a pain to make.” Damo smiles. “Damocles Nigel Dragan.”
“A season of fabulous Kings already.” Gambles takes a fan out from thin air. “Hell yes.”
Joan of Snark walks out in a huge metallic suit of armor, a halo on top, and a french sword, raised in the air. “I am not afraid… I was BORN to do this.”
Damo gasps. “My…”
Joan Of Snark: “Hello! My name is Joan of Snark, and this is how my arc begins. Hello, France!” Joan laughs. “I am a Drag Queen Joan of Arc impersonator. Now, I know… what does that even mean? But… all I say is I give you… French Peasant Galore.” Joan laughs. “I’m the Holy Queen of the Season, so let’s hope… I don’t get burned at the stake!” Joan smiles.
“Oh my, where is this place?” Joan gasps.
“Drag Race.” Domo smiles.
“This isn’t FRANCE.” Joan twirls around. “What witchcraft is this?!”
Everyone looks confused, except for Damo.
Joan stands on a table. “Let US FIGHT, FOR OUR COUNTRY!”
Damo starts clapping. “Oh, a character piece..”
“Character? I am France, you british fool!” Joan smirks.
“Well, don’t battle a DRAGON.” Damo roars.
“I AM NOT SCARED!” Joan yells.
“This is cute.” Pranav smiles.
Britt-Maj Canthwalks out in stunning blond wig, wearing an ultra-modern black pinstripe suit that borders on the middle of both masculine and femine. “ don't feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning. I decided to become a Drag Queen!” Britt winks.
Britt-Maj Canth: “Did you expect a Michel Foucault quote on Drag Race? Probably not, right?” Britt smiles. “I’m the thinking Queen of Scandinavia, moved all over to the Big Apple! First and foremost, Britt is THINK. Think about society, think about life, think about sex… and go… hmm.. Maybe there’s more to my initial perspectives. Mix that with a high-quality dance break, or a sickening performance along with a sleek look, and you’ve got Britt. I am here to give you quality. A Drag Queen who knows what she delivers… and does it well.” Britt purses her lips.
“Ladies and Gentlemen…” Britt raises her hand in the air. “Your winner is here.”
“Oh, someone is a physic!” Joan laughs.
“Perhaps I just know where to find others Achilles Heel…” Britt smirks.
“Francesca Cartier.” Francesca extends her arm.
“Dripping in Jewels, talk about an argument for communism!” Britt quips.
A few laughs… and Francesca smirks. “Hmm.. Yes.”
Haky Gardens enters the werkroom in shining blue dance suit, ready for a moment of skating on ice or dancing her but off. “Season 13?” Haky instantly death drops, making everyone gasp. “Let’s do this.”
“We have a woman down! She’s done a drop of death!” Joan yelps.
Haky Gardens: “I’m Haky Gardens, and I am your favourite.” Haky smirks. “I am 25 years old, living in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I was determined to become the best of the best in Michigan, and I’ve smashed that category, and I did. I’m from the Gardens, a well known Pageant House… but believe me, you won’t be seeing a gown unless we’re giving eleganza. Haky is ALWAYS. ALWAYS. Ready to dance. Shablam, Emotions, Attitude, D-A-N-C-E. That is me. I have goals, and I know that once I put my mind to a task, I will achieve it. This time… it’s America’s Next Drag Superstar. I want a crown, and i’ll get one.”
“Haky Garden’s, of the Garden Haus…” Pranav smiles. “Another Pageant Queen.. Welcome.”
“Oh, Pageant… why limit yourself? I’m so much more.” Haky grins.
“Dancer?” Francesca smiles.
“How could you tell?” Haky laughs. “Yes. I’m a dancer.”
“Dance is the hidden language of the soul, they say…” Britt extends her hand.
“Dance is fire and ice, for me.” Haky grins.
“I wonder which one you are today.” Britt smirks.
“Oooh, La La…” Dahlia Diamondix strides in with jet black hair, neon green eyeshadow and a couture pastel dress.. Covered in shining gold chains. “Daddy?” She takes out her phone. “I’m HERE.” She throws it backwards, and the screen cracks. “Whoops. I have another though!” She takes an iPhone 14, giggling along.
Dahlia Diamondix: “HI, I’m Dahlia Diamondix and UGH, I’m like… here. Most people would know me for the glamorous, the beautiful gorgeous looks I serve, and that glamorous makeup style I always have on… even out of drag.” Dahlia winks. “I’m inspired by Pop Princesses but with an Alien Twist. Pretty, party, neon.” Dahlia snaps her fingers. “I’m the pretty one, I KNOW.” Dahlia tears up. “Oh my god, I’m here oh my god I just realised AH!” Dahlia wipes the tear with one of her perfect nails. “I’m not ruining this makeup, it cost like five hundred dollars…”
“Gorgeous.” Fransesca smiles.
“Hi Ladies and Gentlemen…” Dahlia smiles. “It’s like… exciting to be here.”
“How old are you girl, where are you from?” Ina smiles.
“21, Living in Palo Alto, CA. You’d probably all recognize me…” Dahlia smiles.
Everyone shrugs.
Britt-Maj Canth: “I mean, let’s be honest…”
“I am a makeup youtuber!” Dahlia yelps.
Britt-Maj Canth: “It’s not the most intellectual thing.”
Xena Von Hall looks effortlessly elegant as she enters the werkroom, covered in jewels, straight out of a Vintage Pageant Show. “Glamour, darlings…”
Xena Von Hall: “I am Xena Von Hall, and I am the Essence of Pageant Pristine. Elegant, Shining, Stunning, and always shining. I am an… older Queen, and late to the game, but that doesn’t mean a single thing I give is nothing but quality. I am inspired by my family lineage- the glamorous women that came the generations before, and gave a level of glamour that is… often lost in these times. I am here to reclaim that. My drag is polish, and I demand excellence from myself. Always.”
“Xena, daaaaarling…” Francesca smiles. “You look marvelous.”
The two kiss each other on the cheek. “Fabulous to see you.” Xena smiles.
“Coming back to the Pageant World, then?” Francesca smirks.
Xena Von Hall: “I have competed in a few pageants, but I decided to leave that scene behind. That competitive location was not great for my mind. But Fran? She’s fun, she’s gorgeous… and she’s always, ALWAYS stunning.”
Producer: “And do you trust her?”
Xena Von Hall: “Oh, not at all.”
Ms Dearly Beloved looks like a perfect 1950’s Housewife as she strides in, apron with the words ‘Dearly’ on the front. “Oh, my Gods, there’s so many freaks here!”
“FREAKS?!” Dahlia yelps.
“I am a freak.” Domo smirks. “I’ll take it.”
“A- Fucking greed.” Gambles laughs.
Ms Dearly Beloved: “I am Ms Dearly Beloved, and I am the Missy of the South. I’m a proud drag Queen Living in Raleigh, North Carolina. My Drag is classically beautiful with a Southern Flair. I know a few cooks in the kitchen aren’t fan of the South.. But darling, I’m Proud to be Southern. I am the quintessential housewife of Drag- Feminine, beautiful, and glorious.”
“Hello Ladies…” Dearly curtseys.
“So what do you do, girl?” Ina smiles.
“I do the truest form of drag.” Miss Dearly Beloved smiles.
“Wow, you just opened a can of works…” Pranav laughs.
“What’s truest form, stereotypical white woman?” Britt-Maj looks at Dearly and shrugs.
“Oh my.” Dearly looks awkwardly.
Miss Dearly Beloved: “I was just making a comment! These city Queens… they have their own little… things don’t they.”
“BOOM.” Gun Anna walks out in an American flag mini dress, and a huge blue wig. “BAM.” She takes out a gun, shocking a number of other Monarch’s. “AMERICA.”
Gun Anna: “I am Gun Anna and I am not the Gun, I am the An-” Gun Anna stops. “I am not just Anna, but I am the GUN. Because this is America and here, we have guns. Deal with it.” Gun Anna smirks. “I am a Dance, Zumba Instructor Drag Queen Galore. I’m from the small town of MENDENHALL, MISSISSIPPI! Now ya’ll may think it’s a bit weird,that ain’t no city clicker… but I don’t mind too much! Growing up as a gay kid was hard, and becoming a drag queen was even CRAZIER. But the ladies LIVE FOR IT. Drag is me entering the world and have fun. We’re not weirdos… we’re just FIERCE. That’s what Gun Anna is. Big bobes, blonde, gorgeous beauty. Oh, with a touch of disney.”
“Oh my…” Ms Dearly smiles.
“A TRAMP IS HERE!” Britt laughs. “I think i’m going to like you…”
“Ain’t we all pretty little tramps?” Anna smirks.
“No.” Xena nods.
Anna looks at Xena, then turns to the rest of the group. “So how ya’ll feeling toda-”
“BITCHES.” Tropicana walks out of a 2022 Hit Music Video. A Sleek, bright coloured dress and a gorgeous blonde wig to match. “You scared?”
“SIS.” Dahlia yelps.
Tropicana: “I’m Tropicana and baby? You know me. I am formerly of the haus of Juice, but we don’t talk about that. Yes, I dance, yes I am a showstopper, but I’m better then THAT haus.” Tropicana rolls her eyes. “Unlike others, I am not stuck in the 1990s. I’m the ultra modern beauty. Everything Kylie Jenner wears? It’s inspired by Tropicana. No bullshit, just… the best.” Tropicana shrugs. “I don’t stop.”
Pranav looks awkwardly.
“HHSAHJSHAJDHAJDHA!” Dahlia utters in a completely ineligible language as she hugs Tropicana. “YES!”
“I’m guessing you two know each other?” Haky smirks. “
Dahlia nods. “Fierce. We’ve been talking on instagram for like…”
“Years now, sis.” Tropicana smirks.
“Oh this is so goooooood!” Tropicana smirks.
“Tropicana.” Pranav smiles.
Pranav Tigress: “Tropicana is interesting… She's known for being…. A bit of an uh…. Oh, I feel bad. But… Mess?” Pranav looks shyly.
“How are you, grandpa?” Tropicana smiles.
Pranav laughs. “I am well…”
“Mwah.” Creola Serpentine-Blac sashays into the werkroom, looking like the definition of a SUPERMODEL. A snakelike figure courses through her black dress, appearing to enter through her skin. “Kisses.”
Everyone looks gagged.
“Creola Blac Bitch.” Ina smiles.
Creola Serpentine-Blac: “Hi babies of every gender… I’m Blac.” Creola smirks. “My name is Creola Serpentine-Blac, and I am the first child of SB in this marvelous little world. I am a trans woman of colour, and like our legendary winner, Fame Fontaine… I have italian roots too.” Creola smiles. “I am a model and visual artist. I love to convey meaning, transform and give a story- making a statement through the sheer art of creation. But fashion isn’t simply what I do. I dance, I perform, and I am comedic. I love to act, and I love to impersonate. At the end of the day… I am just here to give my all, and watch it go the way… I hope.” Creola laughs.
“The Name on everybody’s lips…” Francesca smiles.
“The beauty! IT’S TOO MUCH!” Joan yells.
Creola laughs.
“Who’s this ugly supermodel?” Britt-Maj laughs and hugs Creola. “Great look. Not a fan of the wig.”
“Too much?” Creola looks at Britt.
“Not enough.” Britt shakes her head. “It’s so good to have a New York City resident.”
Creola grins at Britt. “Agreed.”
“New York City… Fancy.” Gun Anna shrugs. “Not my cup of tea....”
“Oh, agreed.” Ms Dearly Beloved nods.
“Uhm??” Tropicana looks at Creola.
“Oh hey girl…” Creola hugs Tropicana awkwardly. “So how have you been…”
“Well, I’m solo now so i’m fierce as ever-”
“Next QUEEN!” Britt yells.
Gambles laughs at Britt. “Moving on the awkward…”
Britt winks. “I live for chaos, but let’s not deny it’s… not productive.” She laughs.
Oh, Sophie!
“AH CRAP!” Gun Anna gets scared, and her fake gun fires into the air, hitting the roof.
“Wait… that was a real gun?” Omega looks at Anna.
“Oh, ya’ll it’s just full of jellybeans.” Gun Anna shrugs. “Don’t mind i’ll just..”
She grabs the gun into her mouth, and pushes the trigger, then swallows. “Delicious.”
“This is weird.” Damo looks at Gambles.
“I think I have to agree.” Gambles laughs.
Now, you’re the best of the best. Or are you? Some of you will be legends… time to prove it.
“I’m ready.” Haky smirks at the screen.
Hello Beautiful People!
My 15… You are the best Drag Queens and Kings in America, and I am excited. Each of you were handpicked by myself to battle it out this season for a crown, and boy… have I got plans. Starting with our first mini challenge. Each of you will be… giving us a quick, 20 second mini-speech… on why you are going to be America’s next Drag Superstar.
~
I don’t know how you convinced me… but Gun Anna, you are the winner of our first mini challenge.
“YES!” Gun Anna smirks.
Gun Anna: “I told ya’ll. Don’t discredit a country Queen.”
My Monarch’s, for this week’s maxi challenge…

Creola Serpentine-Blac: “This is a chance for me to shine, an enter this competition with a bang. I know I have a lot to prove… so… let’s meet the mark.” Creola smirks. “I’m ready for it.”
Gun Anna, as this week’s mini challenge winner, you get to assign the boxes.
Gun Anna smiles. “So ya’ll..” Anna smirks. “I don’t care as long as I get the tiger print box. RUN and catch!”
Tropicana sprints, and everyone runs over to get the boxes.

Sophie goes to visit the Monarch’s in the werkroom.
Ina Only…
“Sophie…” Ina smiles.
Now, I am excited to have you here, as our first dragula transition…
“It’s been pretty damn exciting.” Ina smirks.
How do you feel about this challenge?
“I think it’s made for me, and to be The Ripper? It’s a damn sign.” Ina laughs.
Sophie smiles.
How so?
“The Ripper was a kinky, leather bound Queen who was our first winner. She proved to us all that DRAG isn’t just glamorous, beautiful. Being the first winner and being different from the mould kinda made me… a young, trans woman realise… I could be a TV star.” Ina grins.
I love that story. And I love that I have someone like you, here. It makes me feel so much more comfortable, because… I feel more understanding. We have these lived, similar experiences. It’s.. important.
“It is.” Ina nods.
Dahlia Diamondix….
“Ahh, Sophie!” Dahlia yelps.
So, whose box did you get…
“Uhm, the WINNER, FAME. So like… a good sign, you know?” Dahlia twirls her hair around her finger.
Perfect. A good box. Do you sew?
“I normally get people to do it FOR me, but I know. I’ll deliver fashion at 110, so... “ Dahlia smiles. “I’m excited, Sophie.”
How will you meet the spirit of both Dahlia and Fame?
“I’m going to be gorgeous, beautiful and fun.” Dahlia winks.
Interesting. I look forward to seeing this, Dahlia.
“Get ready, Sophie…” Dahlia smiles.
~
As they get ready, Gambles chats with Damo.
“I must say…” Damo smiles. “The Magic aspects… it is incredibly interesting.”
“It’s a lifelong passion.” Gambles nods. “A fucking joyride.”
“Oh, so you were always practicing Magic?” Damocles smiles.
“Illusion, Magic, Sleight of Hand since 18.” Gambles grins. “It’s my passion, my driving force…my own world”
“I love that.” Damocles smiles. “My own world… that line speaks to me. That’s what I do for my own drag.”
“Good!” Gambles smirks. “That’s DRAG to me. I mean, I’m new…”
“Really?” Damocles nods. “I can’t tell, honestly…”
“Oh…” Gambles winks. “Sure you can’t. No, it’s been 4 years.. But I wasn’t always a Drag King. I used to perform under another name…”
“Oh, really?” Damocles looks at Gambles. “You were..?”
“Mademoiselle Mimezzra. Showgirl Magus Supreme.” Gambles laughs. “Not quite myself, you see…”
Damocles gaps, realizing. “I had idea you were… also trans.”
“Ah.” Gambles nods. “I thought I knew… but it’s good to confirm.”
“How did you know?” Damocles looks surprised.
“We know each other. And I mean… Magic.” The Aspect Of Gambles laughs.
Damocles smiles. “I think I’m going to like you…”

A Writing Portfolio
I want to write my own fiction stories one day; I have had a book or two swimming around in my head so I will put the computer to good use and get that typed out one of these days. In this instance I chose my 5 stories and even though one is a marketing inquiry I had fun writing it, so here are my things and some background some of them.
Resume: It is a basic one because my photo ones were not particularly good, and this is an honest resume besides the ones I made for class and I did fudge on those.
Cover letter: I made up the cover letter though there is a penguin Books but it is always fun to use your imagination!
Hike with Drew: I got the concept from a Writer’s Digest and entered it into a contes I never got a response but good practice.
Short Story Vegas: Was one I did for another class but in here I changed it and the story was much better the second time.
Marketing Flyer: This was fun to do those are stock photos of the dogs and squeaky toys, but I like Pit Bulls and dog toys are fun as well.
Scott part 1-This is a story I am working on with another writer, warning its very sexy and some naughty words are in there as well.
Writing Samples: I made these three samples up one day because as I have looked for writing work, I have seen people want a sample of your work, so I came up with these.

I have included my resume for the short story writer for young adult novels. It has been a few years, but I currently work in a middle school, so I do see all the angst and sass that goes with being a young teen. I do hope my writing samples can help me move to the top of the list. I look forward to working with Penguin Books and letting kids know being a teen is hard at first, but it does not last forever.
Sincerely,

It had been a long cold winter Drew and I could not get out for a morning hike till today. Being 75 degrees, we did not have to wear many layers. He is an extremely sweet inquisitive boy who always asks a lot of questions. Why does moss grow on the north side of trees” he asks? Its times like this when it would be nice to have my husband here, but he is overseas where the work is. “well, it’s not just the north side it’s on the shadier side because that is where the moisture is.”
On we went looking at snails on the ground watching the deer pass by along a ridge. Being quiet as to not startle them. “Mom he whispered it’s a bunny den they are coming out for food, he leaves a few carrot and lettuce scraps from last night’s dinner. I walked down the path and spotted some glorious Blue Jays and a Downey Woodpecker. “Listen Drew the woodpecker is getting the bugs out of the trees.” My sweet Drew was staring at the Bunnies, they are cute and fluffy after all. We followed our path down further after the bunnies went back to the den.
The skies were getting cloudy, so I hoped the rain was not going to come back. Though the weather report said there was a chance. My little explorer with his school uniform on was undeterred, I wish I could wear shorts on a 75 day and not be cold, it is always nice to be young. Walking along our path we spot some squirrels running in circles around the tree. “Why do the chase each other like that” Drew asks. “Maybe it’s a game for them like ring around the Rosie.”
On we trek to our favorite stream where the deer family are taking their drinks. I tell Drew we cannot skip stones right now we do not want to scare them. We look through the grass for more of his favorite bugs, saw some worms just below the dirt by a tree. Looking up we see a big spider web being made between two branches. The crows were making their calls in the distance. We are finally able to skip our stones in the stream. He gets some great skips going, and we collect some new rocks for our little garden back home.
Walking past the stream we climb up the embankment and up along the ridge where we see a Fox off in the distance. He or she walks the opposite direction we are going so it is a relief we can continue to the clearing. Where there are more bugs, rocks, and Bunnies. We pass the Deer family as they run up the hill to were, they mostly frolic or maybe they live up there. We stop for a snack of Apples, Almonds, and some cheese sticks. When we were finished Drew put a couple of slices in his pocket to feed the Bunnies, I am sure.
“Mommy we’re getting to the clearing now we can see the Bunnies and the last time Daddy, and I were here I got some neat rocks too.” Drew told ne enthusiastically, I did love his passion for nature, though again my husband is much better at the nature stuff. I am a pastry Chef ask me about desserts and I am your woman, about why moss grows on trees and hello Google. Since Dad is unavailable, I step in and let him explore and see the world outside of the house and off the screen.
It is just another half mile and it is on to the clearing. He starts to pull me hand a little harder I know he is excited. We pass under the tree I glance up and see the Fox again. Then we stop and see “Daddy home……

One Week In Las Vegas
The countdown started Friday at 2pm I got the week off from this thing I call a job (just over broke). The car was packed, it was time to hit the road. The traffic was average and climbing the Cajon Pass was not that bad. I stopped in Baker to have my favorite meal at Bob’s Big Boy, the chili spaghetti, no onions. After making my way back on the highway the traffic picked up going out of Baker, through to Primm and Stateline. I had to stop for gas at Whiskey Pete’s, so I also went in and got some snack goodies. My favorite trail mix and some cheese potato chips because vending machines are too expensive. The road was beckoning so off I went, traveling through Jean is always nice, not much to see. A prison, a few remaining casinos, some outbuildings, and a truck stop. There slogan was always fun 40 smiles closer than Vegas. You can get bored so be sure to pack some music you can have your own car concert. “I’ll face it with a grin I’m never giving in, on with the show” (Show Must Go on by Queen)
Finally, the Vegas skyline is in sight, the lights are not on yet, but they will be needing to navigate around the strip. I do say a few words the terrible drivers. This vacation was so needed my job is crazy, my kids are older now and do not need mom around anymore. Off they went to grandma’s house and I booked the week at the Delano, it is attached to the Mandalay bay so perfect access to all the fun of the strip, and just enough luxury to not look cheap. Getting the valet to take the car I check into my genuinely nice room I have a great view of the Luxor light (that comes off the top of the hotel) and the Excalibur. Now off to indulge in that genuinely nice bathtub and get some overdue reading done. My bathroom with a view has the Luxor light and that is the brightest light on the Vegas strip it comes right out of the top of the Pyramid shaped hotel. A brightness of 42.3 billion candela, you could read a paper from 10 miles straight up if you wanted to.
Once I was well soaked and finished with my chapters it was time to find something to eat besides my snack foods. After cruising the room service options, I settled on some Mexican food of chorizo and eggs with nice corn tortillas. That hit the spot so with the extra energy it was time to get out for a stroll of the property. The indoor pool is nice but small and I want to soak up the sunshine and get some exercise so I shall hit the outdoor pool tomorrow. Back in the lobby I grab those ads for things to do in the city so I can plan out the rest of my trip. There are thousands of things to do in Vegas. Do not be disappointed if you do not get everything done, that is what the next trip is for. I have a beautiful week and I want to have a good time and not have to wait for anybody, I can do what I want. I got those and cruised up through the lobby and toward the casino on my way there I saw a sign for a food and wine festival. With that guy Zac from the travel channel. Thinking hmm I did not know he was interested in food or wine. I went down and found my favorite penny slot game Lucky cat. After 15 minutes I came out putting 20 in and winning 500, so I called it a night and went to the bar to catch a hockey game and grab a fun fruity drink (I like tequila sunrise, (Tequila, grenadine, and cranberry juice). As I am rooting for the Golden Knights (local Vegas hockey team) I looked over to my left and there was Zac from the travel channel, and he likes hockey too this is awesome, and I am trying not to be a fan girl.
The game was in intermission and the Knights were winning so it was time for a new fruity drink so this time I turned around to get back to the bar and bumped right into Zac, boy was my face red. After some apologies and an offer to buy my next fruity drink (a Strawberry Daiquiri) it was a yes and I spilled that I was a fan. He told me he does have an interest in food and wine not just chasing ghosts with his crew. We had some great conversation and when the game came back on, we both sat in the booth cheering the golden knights to their victory. Now I am buzzed and standing up was going to be fun, but Zac was a true gentleman and helped me to my feet. He offered to buy me dinner. The Taco Hut was a good place the tortillas were fresh, and the company was so cool. The conversation turned to food, wine, travel, and some stuff about me. The midnight hour rolled around, and Zac had an early morning, so we said goodnight, but he was staying one floor above me, so we agreed to go to the diner in the lobby for breakfast or brunch. At 10am I was enjoying my company and this great stick to your ribs breakfast (scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns and some great watermelon) The food offerings in Vegas are so varied you can get everything from a hot dog and beer for 1.99 at the Orleans, to a 5-star meal at Caesar’s Palace the buffets are great too. Although sometimes you want a nice sit-down dinner.
The conversation was effortless the attraction was deep. We made plans to see each other again after the food contest he was judging was over. Saying goodbye was a bit hard but the hand holding was sweet and made me feel like a schoolgirl again. After saying goodbye and I did watch him walk into the convention hall I went back to my room to plan out the rest of my day. I chose a tour of the Mob Museum, they say that Vegas was built with Mob money, but it was a Mormon founded town that later Hollywood discovered. Then many people in Hollywood who were well connected (such as East Coast mobsters) financed Bugsy Segal to build the Flamingo Hotel. As I was putting my shoes on, I got a knock on the room door and as I opened it, I got some flowers (pink roses) and an all-access pass to the food and wine festival courtesy of Zac. Let us just say the Mob Museum can wait for later I got to go to a food and wine festival and spend the rest of the week with Zac. “hi Zac thanks for the flowers it was sweet of you to remember.” He said, “It’s always right to remember a ladies flower preference because that’s the right thing to do.” Smiling the rest of the day I meet other travel channel celebrities and got to taste some great foods and many different wines. The food and wine offerings at the hotels and restaurants are varied, the Las Vegas area have become very international, so the varieties are endless.
The week went by in a blur of food, wine, conversation, and some sweet dates. I never thought I would get over the break-up that happened the week before. Getting a private Vegas tour was something completely special. I did get to see the Mob Museum, Mandalay Bay Fine Art Museum, seven magic mountains, Pinball Hall of fame and a private dinner at the food and wine festival. My days in Vegas were down to one. We had reservations at Rivera right here at the Delano the view is amazing, the food is impressive with Italian and French offers. “I have had a wonderful time this week Zac thank you for mending my broken heart.” He looked at me for a minute and said, “it’s been a pleasure to get to know you and I would not mind visiting your hometown, you always have a reason to come back to Las Vegas. The next food and wine festival is around Christmas, this one will include chocolate.” Hitting the 15 early the next morning I have visions of Christmas, a pass to the food and wine festival, also a brand-new relationship to take back home with me.
The End
When writing a short story, you want to keep it from rambling and have enough details to keep it fresh. When your reader gets into the story you want them to feel like they are there with you, going to the food and wine festival, on that hike through the seven-mountains or touring the mob museum. The details are the thing to see and make sure to watch out for punctuation and common language. An average short story is within 6,00 words or 24 pages. If you wanted too you could go short-short story and that is between 500 and 2,00 words. That comes out to be 6 pages (Minot, Steven Ch. 7 pg. 41), talk about short stories. The story is all your length and style matter as much as how you want it to come into focus.

Scott’s Story Part 1
I am Scott Thorn, and I am going back to WDU for the first time in 15 years, I went here for a year but after I came out as gay there really were no gay dudes. I am all men but yeah lesbians were all around some BI guys but no real gay dudes. I went back to the mainland and attended Preston University I majored in administration and minored in Literature. I did at one point in my life have a girlfriend and wanted to marry her, but I could not quash the gay lifestyle. That part of my life is over and now the old school offered me a counseling job, have not done this in a while. I get to help students toward there after college career.
I sit here on this boat and keeping an eye on my 75 Triumph I have some nerves, but it is mostly about seeing this place again, so as the boat pulls up, I get my bike going and make a stop at my new on campus apartment. Its west facing because I like sunsets more than sunrise, so I did not know it needed so much work. I have some handy skills but a little at a time. The kitchen is decent and so is the bathroom. The floors will need some polish and the deck needs to be stained, this is a duplex, so I hope the neighbors are quiet. It is furnished and done nicely so I cannot complain too much, but back on the bike to see the Dean.
I get my bike set with the kill switch and walk up the way to the Admin building, I am pretty much the only one dressed. I am wearing my good black jeans and my dress shirt, in my favorite color Maroon. I do remember this place was obsessed with sex so I will stick out wearing clothes, as I enter the building at least more admin people are dressed. Miss Grant the secretary shows me to my new office, its spacious much bigger that my last one at Preston where I shared a cubicle with another person. I have files from past students and current ones, so I started filing them when Dean Kane walks in, booty shorts and a tank top. “Welcome back to WDU Scott, we look forward to seeing you succeed you come very recommended.” I could hardly concentrate because this Dean was hung but I persevered and said, “Thank you sir I look forward to helping young students find there after WDU careers.”
After he left, I had to get my rise to settle then I continued filing and looking through some files. Clarissa Love that was a name that got around even all the way to Preston. I think she does the Jax in the bedroom or something like that. I started looking around and thought I need some life in this office so I asked Miss Grant about decorating and she said I could do what I wanted but no painting, so I went to town and checked out a flea market. I found some pictures of the beaches of Canada, some old homes in the area and a few movie posters from Rocky horror Picture Show (it is my favorite). The flea market said they will deliver to the school tomorrow so I told them I will be there at 9am.
Now with my day done I get to the store to buy some groceries and realize this place uses sextons and I was down to my last few, so now I will need to exchange but thankfully a bank is nearby so I can get some of my mainland money exchanged. I pull up to my new pad off load my few groceries and notice some other tenant left beer in the fridge, talk about luck. I got the beer went to the deck and watched the sunset over the sky. It was going to be new here, but I needed a fresh start after getting dumped and losing the job because my ex was in upper management, never will I do that again. I will find someone who does not work in the school system. After I ate a roast beef and cheddar sandwich for dinner, watched some cooking shows it was time for bed. As I was brushing my teeth, I heard the neighbors having sex. Oh, goody they are not quiet. hope they do not have super energy either. Tomorrow is my first full day and I have decorating to do, fantastic they stopped, that is the thing with us older people we do not fuck like bunnies anymore. As far as I know the neighbors are lesbians so who knows.
Sample 1- If I try my hardest, I could muster up enough courage to ask the prettiest girl in school to prom. I had a suit; bolo tie and I will shine my old boots up. The thing is my courage is not as strong as my best friend Nick, now there is one brave dude who just asked the girl I wanted to go to prom with and of course she said yes. I gather myself close my locker and put on my best smile for them both. Nick and I high five and I hug her, trying to be genuine but it is hard. I head to my Social studies class and sit down next to Megan she looks at me with some concern I tell her what happened, she then asks me to Prom…...
Sample 2-Wishing I did not have to be here I sit at the back of the funeral and think about my old high school principal. I grew up in a small town and everyone knew everyone, we only had one school and you went there for kindergarten through senior year. After my graduation I packed up my old car and headed out to what I thought was the real world. Living in a bigger city only helped spur my loneliness so who says you cannot come home again, well Mom for starters because I abandoned my family, I am not welcome at home ever again (so tired of her drama), so I am staying at Principal Mason’s house yes, the same principal that I am at a funeral for I held her hand as she lay there succumbing to cancer……
Sample 3-If you really want to get over a breakup getting back on the horse will help things along. I thought that too seven lousy dates ago so here I am on date number 8 and I am not seeing any birds singing or rainbows in the sky. He steps away to take a call he is a particularly important lawyer after all (I need to fix my picker) after he comes back, he says it go time the jury has come back so off he goes. I finish my drink and head back to my brownstone close by, I pass the new chocolate shop that just opened, and I get inside and see chocolate heaven. Looking around I do not see him at first but there he is my old college lab partner Sam I just saw a rainbow…….

Jaromir Jagr played in 65 different venues while in the NHL. This is a comprehensive list.

In terms of longevity, Jaromir Jagr ranks 3rd in all time games played in the NHL. But because his career spanned a unique period in the NHL: 10 new franchises, a move to modern arenas, and attempts to reach global market with special events, Jagr by my estimation holds the record for most venues played.
Below is my attempt to list every single venue where Jagr played a regular season or playoff game in the NHL. If I have missed one, please let me know in the comments.
Note: I am not including any preseason or exhibition games in this list.
Current name of the venue is shown, the original name of the venue is in brackets.

One-Off Special Locations

In addition to the arenas past and present, Jagr also participated in special events that occurred in the regular season. Here are some of the more unique venues that he played in.
60. Yankee Stadium | Bronx, NY (2014 Stadium Series)
Jagr was on the NJ Devils and played against the NY Rangers in an outdoor game on 1/26/14.
61. Citizens Bank Park | Philadelphia, PA (2012 NHL Winter Classic)
Jagr was on the Philadelphia Flyers and played against the NY Rangers in an outdoor game on 1/2/12.
62. Saitama Super Arena | Tokyo, JP (2000 NHL Game ONe Japan)
Jagr's Penguins played the first two regular season opening games in Japan against the Nashville Predators in 2000.
63. Richfield Coliseum | Richfield, OH (92-93, 93-94 Neutral Site Games)
For the 92-93 and 93-94 seasons, each team played two regular season games at a neutral site. Pittsburgh played at Richfield Coliseum in both seasons, 1993 against Edmonton, and 1994 against Boston.
64. Sleep Train Arena (ARCO Arena) | Sacramento, CA (93-94 Neutral Site Game)
Neutral Site Game Nov 3, 1993 vs BUF
65. The Omni | Atlanta, GA (92-93 Neutral Site Game)
Neutral Site Game Feb 8, 1993 vs BOS
So there it is, if the Travelling Jagrs were able to go back in time, they would have had to visit 65 different venues in order to watch all of Jaromir Jagr's NHL games.
Bonus Fun Fact: Of the 21 teams when Jagr joined the NHL, only two still played in the same venue when Jagr left (plus the Islanders sort of).
Edit: Fixed typo on PNC Paints Arena, it should be PPG Paints Arena.
Edit 2: Fixed year of last game at St. Louis Arena.
Edit 3: Thank you for the gold, kind strangers! Also, cleaned up some of the arena names.

Nevada/Las Vegas minimums (COVID Edition) part 5

It was getting really tedious to edit a post with over 100 casinos in it. So I'm breaking it up to Nevada casinos and non-Nevada casinos.
If you are reporting about a casino, could you please try to include the following:

Name of the casino
Where it's located
What time of day and is it a weekday or weekend?
Max odds
Field pays
Side bets available (Repeater, ATS, Firebet)
Are there dividers or how many are shooting per side

The more information we have, the better off we will be.
We all know that tables can change rapidly. I saw a table go from 25 to 15 to 100 at the Flamingo in the course of a few hours. I'll try to keep the mins what is reported the most and add other information in the comments like "found this table at $5 on graveyard shift" so people konw that isn't the norm
These tables can be a pain to maintain, so please provide as much information as possible. An informed roller is a beter roller.

People of Interest:
(This list is a bit hard to follow because of the long names. This chart : http://www.businessinsider.com/a-whos-who-of-the-saudi-royal-family-2015-2 will help you clarify who is who.)
King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud (King Saud. Deceased) : King of Saudi Arabia (1932-1953)
King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (Deceased) : 5th son of King Saud. King of Saudi Arabia until his death in 2015. Successor is King Salman
Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (Henceforth King Salman): Current King of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). 8th son of deceased King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud.
Mohammad bin Salman (Henceforth Crown Prince Mohammad): Son of King Salman. Currently next in line to be king after King Salman.
Muqrin bin Abdulaziz (Former Deputy Crown Prince. Henceforth Muqrin) : 9th son of deceased King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud. Was next in line to be king if King Salman had died before being crowned king. IS THE FATHER OF Mansour bin Muqrin bin Abdulaziz Al Saud! THE MAN KILLED IN THE HELICOPTOR CRASH ON 11/5/2017.
Mansour bin Muqrin bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (Henceforth Mansour) : Son of Muqrin bin Abdulaziz. Died 11/5/2017, the day of the failed coup on the throne of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Alwaleed bin Talal (Henceforth Talal) : Billionaire businessmen. Grandson of King Saud. Has ties to DNC, Clinton, Podesta. Arrested 11/4/2017 for corruption. Owns The Four Seasons at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas (Four Seasons occupy the top floors of Mandalay Bay) Owns shares in Twitter as well as other high-tech silicon valley companies. Has had spats with Trump in the past.
I know that's a mouthful of names, but bear with me. Just remember 4 names: Salman, Mohammad, Muqrin, and Mansour.
Do you remember how President Trump visited Saudi Arabia back in May of 2017? Do you remember how warmly he was greeted by King Salman? I do. It was a spectacle. Why was he greeted so welcomingly? After all, President Obama's reception was... shall we say, less than grand. Do you remember how after Trump's visit, Saudi Arabia started becoming more open in their policies? Women can drive there now. Did you notice how the Syrian rebellion became quiet? Did you notice how quickly ISIS was crushed after the visit? Why did Saudi Arabia suddenly want to get their oil companies listed on the NYSE? What could have caused this?
To answer this, we have to look a little further back. Back to around 2010.
It all goes back to fracking. You see, the Kindom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has always relied heavily on its vast petrol reserves for wealth and prosperity. And they were ruthless. OPEC. The cartel of gasoline. You can't count the number of times throughout history that OPEC used its power to crush governments, manipulate prices, control supplies, and fund activities. If there ever was a international group of bullies, OPEC was it. And at the head of this organization was the mighty KSA.
Then came the fracking boom. Suddenly, the world was no longer at the mercy of OPEC. This made them nervous. So, they did what they always do. They pumped out more petroleum, driving the price of gas to lowest in decades. What was their objective? To bankrupt these fracking businesses. KSA is rich. Very rich. They figured, we'll just drive gas prices unbelievably low and take the loss until all these fracking business startups crumble. Do you remember how cheap gas got between 2013-2016? It was ridiculous, wasn't it? But what they didn't count on was just how cheap fracking had become. So many of these business didn't go bankrupt. So they took another step. To convince the world that fracking was bad for the environment. So they lobbied and supplied funds to the Democratic party. Why? Because the leftist are usually the ones who support ANY and ALL environmental regulations. Do you remember all the legal battles that fracking had to go through? Hell, it's still illegal in most blue states. Do you now understand why the Saudis donated so much money to the Clinton campaign? She was HEAVILY favored to win and if she did, you can bet your ass that illegalizing fracking would have been on the top of her list, returning us to dependence on arab oil. But... this didn't work either. Fracking continued. And then, a shitstorm of reality hit them hard.
You see, KSA had vastly underestimated the amount of total shale reserves in North America. They had no idea that so much of this stuff exists. They thought maybe they could ride it out if the reserves would dry up in a decade or so. But nope. We have enough shale to supply us for at least 50 years. Hmmm... big problem.
So, if you're King Salman, what do you do? Well, there's only one thing you can do. Give up the reliance on oil production and try to use existing wealth to stay wealthy. To modernize its trade to include more than just exports of oil. They would need to build an entire industrial country from scratch. To do that, he needed the help of the USA. And that's where President Trump comes in.
You see, the May 2017 meeting between Trump and King Salman (and his son Mohammad), was not just another meeting. It was a business meeting. King Salman asked Trump for help. Trump was more than willing to give it (like listing the oil companies on the NYSE) but his help would come with a price. Liberalization and the stop of illegal funding. No more contributions to American politics. No more supplying funds to terrorists or splinter groups. King Salman took the deal. All of a sudden, women were allowed to drive. ISIS was retreating. Syrian rebels suddenly ran out of ammunition. Yay. All good up to this point.
Now comes the bad
Not all the royalties in KSA are into this. They don't like losing the power they once had. What's worse, they don't want to become liberal. They now start resenting King Salmon. They start plotting against him. At the forefront of this movement is none other than the previous Deputy Crown Prince, Muqrin, and his son, Mansour (the man killed in the helicopter crash of 11/5/17).
October 1, 2017. The top floors of Mandalay Bay isn't Mandalay Bay, but is Four Seasons, owned by billionaire Talal. Who was occupying that whole floor that night? I can't remember where, but I heard that the whole floor was reserved for that week. Now, no one would do that unless they were Saudi royalty. We don't know for sure, but my guess is Crown Prince Mohammad. We know it wasn't King Salman, because he was in Russia at the time. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/05/saudi-russia-visit-putin-oil-middle-east
The plan is to take out the crown prince. Then kill King Salman. With the King and the Crown Prince dead, who is next in line? Yup. The former deputy crown prince, Muqrin. So, posing as terrorists who wanted to buy the guns for some terrorist attack, they dupe the CIA or FBI to supply the guns to the death squad. Their real plan is to climb the stairs right after the deal and kill the VIP in the floors above them. This is why the weapons cashe was located on the 32nd floor. They would only have to climb a few stairs or take the elevator up a little to start the killing. Now, here's what happened that night:
Paddock is the contact man to supply the guns. He meets a couple of assassins ahead of time (remember, the shooting starts at 10:05). At this point, Paddock is thinking this is a gun deal. Only a few magazines are loaded. He merely wants to show the customers how to load the chamber etc... What he doesn't know is that the advance team was sent to secure the floor. That all but one entry point to the floor would be barricaded (crucial since the reason Campos becomes suspicious of the blocked doors is what ultimately leads him to investigate) The reason for the barricade is that once the assault starts, the assassins want to make sure to impede the authorities as much as possible from reaching the top floors.
2. CIA/FBI (or Trump's own intelligence) got wind of the assassination that was about to take place. Immediate action is taken to round up the assassins. Remember, we're talking about an army of assassins here. You can't kill a Crown Prince who's protected by 30 armed bodyguards by pulling a Jack Ruby. I estimate at least 20 assassins in total.
3. What the assassins didn't know was that the prince had disguised himself as a regular dude to enjoy the nightlife in Vegas. (Saudi princes have been known to do this) He had slipped away from the Mandalay and was at the Tropicana playing some cards. As soon as the FBI (or some other agency) learned of the assassination plot, they stormed the Tropicana and extracted the prince. The video can be seen here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVHmshtmDqo They lead him out of the casino and escort him to the nearest helipad to be picked up. BUT, on the way, they encounter some resistance from a few assassins. Hence the firefight at the airport. Eventually, he makes it to the chopper and is whisked away.
4. Meanwhile, the FBI has gathered up as many of the assassins as they can. A few are armed with sidearms. They don't have rifles yet because the rendezvous with Paddock hasn't occurred yet. Hence the random firefights at various casinos that night. A few are killed. Hence the Laura Loomer videos of covered up dead people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oxAZIpSUuM
5. The assassins already in Paddock's room gets a call. They are told that the Prince is not in his suite above. That he's being escorted out of the Tropicana. They start panicking. If they get caught in this plot to assassinate the crown prince, not only are they dead, but their employer is dead as well. They come up with a plan. They will kill Paddock and start firing on the crowd below. They're gonna make him a crazy lone gunman. So they kill Paddock. They break a window. They pick up a rifle and start firing at the crowd below. After a couple of mags, they realize that the other mags aren't loaded! Holy fuck. They start reloading as fast as possible. This is why the average time between bursts of fire is over 40 seconds. One of them gets an idea. Let me go to the other room and break that window and shoot at the fuel tanks at a nearby airport. This will draw the police away from the Mandalay and they can escape. So he goes and attempts just that. Unfortunately, the tanks do not blow up. By this time, Jesus Campos is knocking on the door. So they just unload on him. This is why there are (supposedly) 200 shots through the door. Campos escapes a lethal shot and calls in security.
6. Now the assassins are getting nervous. They realize that someone in the hotel knows that someone is firing. They fire as much as they can. They are thinking as soon as this barrage is done, we run. But the swat team starts knocking on the door. Fuck. The assassins realize they're screwed. So the first one shoots himself. (This is the first of the single shots you hear at the end). The second assassin isn't so sure. He doesn't want to die. So after 10 seconds of courage gathering, he shoots himself as well.
7. The SWAT team bursts in and finds 3 bodies. They start asking questions. But because the FBI is already there (remember, they extracted the prince) they take over. They quickly assess the situation. They realize the implications. They remove the 2 assassins bodies, take a picture of Paddock lying there, and release it to 4chan to solidify their narrative.
8. Paddock is made the patsy. Why? Because if a failed Saudi assassination attempt was responsible for the deaths, if the FBI/CIA had supplied the guns that killed 58 innocent people (not counting Paddock since he's an asset), then two things would happen. One, we would demand that we go to war with Saudi Arabia. And two, which ever organization that Paddock worked for would be utterly dismantled.
We know a missile was intercepted by the Saudi military on November 3 or 4th. This was probably the final effort by the anti King Salman group. This was their last ditch effort to kill him. OR, it was staged to give King Salman the excuse to round everyone up in retaliation of the assassination attempt. We know that MASSIVE raids and the rounding of Saudi princes took place on the 5th. I will guarantee you that all these people are anti Salman/Mohammad. And who was just killed? Yes. The son of Muqrin, Mansour. Mansour's death was retaliation. I have no doubt of it. He was executed.
Ok, now that this has happened, what's next? Well, my guess will be that we will learn all of the funding that has been coming out of Saudi Arabia for the past decade. It will expose their connections to the DNC. We will learn that they have been at the root of all the turmoil in the Middle East. Then, they'll all be executed.
