It's a rather somber news update covering the Asia Pacific today as we report on the after effects of the Japanese Tsunami and earthquake, and what it means to Asia Pacific's financial, gaming and casino sectors.. Media Man and Gambling911 with the news you need to know, not necessarily what you want to hear...
The tragedy unfolding after Japan's Tsunami and earthquake will have economic consequences for many companies and sectors, and Australia is tipped to suffer minimal loss in the gaming and gambling sector.
The All Ordinaries index has fallen by almost 1% today as the market tries its best to assess the effects on individual companies, and the gaming - leisure - lifestyle sector has suffered some loss, but not as much as many other sectors, with the insurance sector being one of the hardest hit, but we know its hard to feel too much compassion to our friends in the insurance sector, always ready to collect policy money, but often too slow to hand out claims.
Insurance
Insurance risk modelling group AIR Worldwide estimating that total insured losses could range up to $US34.5 billion (excluding tsunami damage), QBE Insurance was probably the first stock to mind for most Australian investors.
Property
Japanese commercial property investors Astro Japan Property Group and Galileo Japan Trust have taken a hit. Both have reassured investors that their physical assets have not been substantially impacted.
Uranium Sector!
Paladin Energy and ERA are in the mix of the largest price falls in the ASX 200 index. The market is spot on to question how an unfolding nuclear emergency might affect the future for these two uranium miners.
Tourism And Land Based Casinos
There might be a second round effect on Australia’s tourism industry. Japanese are the 5th largest group of inbound tourists. They tend to be short duration, high margin "package" travellers. This will likely have an impact on Virgin Blue and Qantas. Hotel operators are also concerned. Many hotels are also linked to casinos. Tabcorp owns Conrad Jupiters on the Gold Coast, Conrad Treasury and Jupiters Townsville. Star City casino in 'Sin City' Sydney shouldn't’t suffer too much, neither should Crown Casino owned by James Packer's Crown Limited. One may speculate if some Japanese casino - gambling whales may been keen to come to Australia soon to escape the chaos in their native Japan.
Beneficiaries From Japan Disasters!
Construction, Mineral Sector
BlueScope shares jumped 7%. Australia's coal industry chat is that the quake may further cement the importance on natural resources like Aussie coal, with nuclear power taking a massive dive in public relations, as the Japanese government gives more warning to those still alive who live in regions close to their nuclear reactors, more of which have suffered damage and continue into meltdown.
The Japanese disasters have had a minimal financial impact in Australia, buy tourism may be the worst effected, and construction and minerals are tipped to remain financial gainers. It's unclear at present on how the Japanese disasters may have effected Japaneses based igaming companies, but many website portals have backups, so backup servers have likely kicked in. The Asian Poker Tour website is on the air and appears not effected.
Be alert to natural disasters (or some say their are man made), but that's another article best left for the likes of our friends Jesse Ventura of Conspiracy Theory and mate Alex Jones at InfoWars, since there's a battle on for your minds, as Alex keeps telling us. There's also a global economic crisis, so don't take gambles you can't afford to loose.

Crown Casino Citizen Paparazzi Shifts Into Top Gear, by Greg Tingle - 14th March 2011
G'day punters, gambling and casino millionaires and billionaires, photogs and rev heads. Rev heads. WTF? An amateur photographer snapped his not so smartphone - iphone at Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson at a Crown Casino restaurant Saturday with alarming results, bringing minds back to Russell Crowe's and Naomi Campbell's bad phone days.
Media Man and Gambling911 get you on pole position with this juiced up report...
Amateur Photographer Puts Jeremy Clarkson's Anger Into Top Gear At Crown Casino...
Folks, its been a while since we had a bit of odd news from Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia, but wait no longer.
Readers will recall the 'Ferrari Thief Man', the 'Casino Battle Royal' and 'Grease Trap Man', but now we have 'Crown's Amateur Pap Man Angers Clarkson Into Top Gear'.
Melbourne racing car enthusiast Michael Garner claims the British TV star shirt-fronted him during a heated Crown Casino restaurant stand-off on Saturday night.
Clarkson's engine overheated when Garner used his smartphone to take some pictures of the star having a bite at a Melbourne restaurant located in James Packer's Crown Casino.
The otherwise popular, but ever controversial Clarkson was dining with colleagues including co-star James May and new Top Gear Australia host Shane 'Kenny' Jacobson at Crown's Guiseppe Arnaldo & Sons.
Super fan Garner, sitting nearby, advised he took one happy snap, which didn't work, and then snapped a second.
"We weren't intrusive. I didn't walk up to him. He was 8ft away, he wasn't close by," Garner told 3AW yesterday.
"He's got out of his seat, stormed over and shirt-fronted me."
A heated up Clarkson snatched the iphone and threw it to a colleague and Garner said he thought the TV star might king hit him.
"In some ways, yes, I thought it could be on," he said.
Jacobson stepped in to calm the situation, apologising to Garner and saying that Clarkson had had a bad day.
"(Clarkson) didn't apologise at all, which I thought was pretty unfair," Garner said.
A Top Gear spokeswoman said the crew had been having a private dinner and their privacy was invaded, but she said the situation had been amicably resolved.
It's understood that Clarkson, Jacobsen nor Garner gambled on the evening in question.
Readers may remember other motorsport and rev head matters tied into casinos such as the 'Crown Casino Ferrari Theif', PartyGaming's 'Drive The Dream' promotion and PKR Poker's Porsche promotion from a few years back. Roughly a year ago Richard Branson's Virgin Racing picked up Full Tilt Poker as a sponsor, but since that time Full Tilt has been hit with a bush tucker bag of bad publicity including poker bot scandals and affiliates across the globe saying they are owned large sums of money. Over a year ago PartyGaming's PartyPoker.com sponsored a number of F1 racing starts with their PartyPoker brand including Jaime Alguersuari and Giancarlo Fisichella.
A few weeks ago Packer's Crown Casino sponsored embattled NRL team, The Melbourne Storm, and you can bet that Crown nor The Storm are looking for any more trouble. Just last week AFL living legend Brendan "Punter" Fevola was ejected by Crown when he was found to be playing poker by himself!
Crown Casino will once again play host to the annual TV Week Logie Awards on Sunday 1st May 2011. The 'Underbelly' show, TV movies and some actors in in the running for a number of awards, but last year got a 'golden donut' - nothing, so don't get too excited. On logies night security will be at an all time high, but the world awaits to see if we get another Twitter-Gate, or more dramas with unwanted and unwelcome photo opportunities, along with the often unfunny jokes.
It's understood Australian paparazzi Jamie Fawcett has been spotted at Crown Casino a number of times in the past few months. It was Fawcett who stalked out Australian cricket legend and celebrity businessman, Shane Warne, when he was 'hanging and banging' with UK babe Liz 'Hurley' Burley, who he lured down under to Australia after a well publicized kiss (pash) a few months ago. Fawcett has gone on record many times that his style of photography is about 'The Money Shot', but one can be forgiven for confusing the styles of photography money shots between himself and the Sydney based Eva Rinaldi, who hasn't photographed poker or casino stars yet, but is in line for the Royal's Price William. She was also recently spotted at the Future Music Festival where the Mazda2 Flamingo stage had a casino theme even sporting a likeness from the Golden Nugget casino in Las Vegas.
Crown Limited management and staff take the safety and happiness of patrons and investors seriously, and that's no joke.
