888 Holdings employs over 1000 full time staff and offers 24/7 support capabilities in almost 20 languages to a claimed 25 million players who have to date played at its online casino properties. 888 Live Casino operates under a Gibraltar Regulatory Authority. Towering 32 stories over the scenic Back Bay of Biloxi, the IP is home to more than 1,000 elegantly appointed hotel rooms and suites with full amenities. Our Biloxi Casino Resort features a vast array of live entertainment options, great restaurants, and a first-class spa to indulge your senses. Yes, 888 Casino actually has one of the largest live dealer operations of any online casino. 888 Casino is large enough to host their live dealers in-house rather than relying on a third-party. Aside from Blackjack, there’s also live Roulette, Baccarat, Casino Hold’em, and Caribbean Stud Poker.
An inspiring new partnership has been struck between Playtech and 888.
Leading supplier Playtech has inked a key content partnership with iGaming heavyweight 888 to provide a new bespoke live casino offering.
The Deal
The agreement calls for 888casino to host a range of Playtech’s diverse live casino and random number generator RNG solutions across the 888 platform.
Live Hosting
Playtech will additionally host a bespoke 888 branded studio in its live casino production facility in Riga, Latvia featuring a new range of Playtech-supported live casino games and exclusive content including Live Slots.
Playtech iGaming CEO Speaks
Playtech’s live casino CEO Edo Haitin lauded “888’s significant investment in, and commitment to, the live casino vertical” as a demonstration of “just how important an entertainment-led experience is becoming for the modern player.”
Diversification of Support
Haitin celebrated the timing of the deal, at a time when Playtech is ramping up gaming launches and variations:
“We’re delighted to be working with a market leader like 888 to deliver an exciting, innovative Live and RNG offering for their players.”
Playtech’s Momentum
Playtech is already riding the momentum of recent financial reports indicating robust growth and future for its live casino vertical after adding new customers Totalizator Sportowy, BetConstruct and Svenska Spel and expanding with existing partners from H1 2020.
888 Senior VP Speaks
Senior Vice President and B2C Head Guy Cohen was effusive about the deal:
“At 888, we are constantly looking for partnerships that strengthen our product offering and I believe Playtech’s live casino and RNG content will do exactly that.
888 Diversification
Playtech will not only strengthen 888’s already prodigious product offerings, but diversify 888’s content as well:
“The new games will expand upon our existing suite of games to provide new, exciting, and engaging gaming experiences within a safe and secure environment.”
Safe Play Environment
The need to provide a secure environment is a key observation, which effectively illustrates the sustainability of the partnership. Environmental awareness and player protections are the leading priority for the industry in this era of increased restrictions against overaggressive marketing cropping up in review of jurisdictions across Europe.
Outlook
Cohen’s warm welcome of the partnership and emphasis on social protection is a good sign for a partnership which is certainly destined to be one of iGaming’s biggest deals.

COVID-19 Vaccine Made Available To Convention Center Shelter Residents, Staff
– 6:13 p.m., Monday, March 8, 2021
The single-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine will be made available Tuesday and Wednesday to shelter residents and staff of Operation Shelter to Home at the San Diego Convention Center, the mayor’s office said in a release Monday.
City of San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Firefighters and Lifeguards will administer the vaccinations on-site Tuesday and Wednesday.
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria had announced on March 5 a timeline and plans for residents of the Convention Center shelter to be relocated to several other city shelters by the end of March.
“The vaccines offer another level of protection against the COVID-19 virus ahead of the moves that are slated to begin the week of March 22,” read the release.
Operation Shelter to Home was launched April 1, 2020 to provide shelter for those experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic. – KPBS Staff

San Diego County public health officials reported 307 new COVID-19 infections Monday, as the county awaits state data Tuesday which could promote it to the less-restrictive red tier of the state’s four-tiered economic recovery plan.
San Diego County remains in the most restrictive purple tier, but just barely. The county’s state-calculated, adjusted case rate is currently 10.8 cases per 100,000 residents. It needs to be below seven per 100,000 to head into the red tier.
The testing positivity percentage is 4.2%, placing the county in the orange tier. While the testing positivity rate for the county qualifies it for orange, the state uses the most restrictive metric — in this case, the adjusted case rate — and assigns counties to that tier. The county’s health equity metric, which looks at the testing positivity for areas with the lowest healthy conditions, is 6% and is in the red tier.
The California Department of Public Health assesses counties on a weekly basis. The next report is scheduled for Tuesday. — City News Service

Fully vaccinated Americans can gather with other vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or social distancing. That’s according to long-awaited guidance from federal health officials. The recommendations were announced Monday.
They also say that vaccinated people can come together in the same way with people considered at low-risk for severe disease, such as in the case of vaccinated grandparents visiting healthy children and grandchildren.
Officials say a person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the last required dose of vaccine. About 30 million Americans or only about 9% of the U.S. population have been fully vaccinated with a federally authorized COVID-19 vaccine so far. — Associated Press

San Diego County public health officials reported 187 new COVID-19 infections and five deaths Sunday, increasing the totals to 262,968 cases and 3,390 deaths.
As of Sunday, of the county’s population over the age of 16, 23.4% — or nearly 629,783 people — have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, and 12.2% — or more than 327,958 people — have been fully inoculated. — City News Service

San Diego County public health officials reported 421 new COVID-19 infections and 14 deaths Saturday, increasing the totals to 262,781 cases and 3,385 deaths as stadiums and theme parks have been cleared to reopen in California beginning April 1 subject to strict conditions.
Theme parks can reopen at 15% capacity in the red tier of the state’s four-tiered reopening plan. Capacity levels will shift to 25% in the orange tier and 35% in the yellow tier.
Of 12,946 tests reported by the county Saturday, 3% returned positive.
The number of hospitalizations declined to 371, with 117 of those in intensive care units. There are 61 staffed, available ICU beds in the county.
There were no new community outbreaks reported Saturday. There have been 28 outbreaks over the last seven days with 123 cases associated with those outbreaks.
San Diego County is in the most restrictive, purple, tier, but numbers are trending downward at such a rate the county could be promoted to the red tier this month.
Of the county’s population over the age of 16, 23.1% — or nearly 620,000 people — have received at least one dose and 11.9% — or more than 319,000 people — have been fully inoculated. – City News Service

The number of hospitalizations declined to 405, with 128 of those in intensive care units. There are 67 staffed, available ICU beds in the county.

California To Let Major League Baseball, Disneyland Reopen
– 3:00 p.m., Friday, March 5, 2021
California is allowing people to attend Major League Baseball games and other sports, go to Disneyland and watch live performances in limited capacities starting April 1.
The rules announced Friday coincide with baseball’s opening day. The San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics all have home games scheduled for April 1.
California divides its counties into four color-coded tiers based on the spread of the coronavirus. Attendance limits are based on what tier a county is in.
Theme parks can open at 15% capacity in the tier that’s the second-highest risk level and only people who live in California can buy tickets. Sports in areas with the most spread will be limited to 100 people. — Associated Press
San Diego Administers Its 1 Millionth Dose Of COVID-19 Vaccine
– 12:00 p.m., Friday, March 5, 2021
San Diego County has administered its 1 millionth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine Friday, San Diego County Chair Nathan Fletcher said.
“We are moving faster than any other county in the state of California to administer these vaccines so we can get our kids back in school, get our businesses open, get back in the ballpark for Opening Day and really move forward,” he said.
There are 27 vaccination sites or events located throughout the San Diego County region, though delays in vaccine shipments have caused some sites to temporarily close lately.
The county has the capacity to administer 33,000 vaccinations on a daily basis and more than 1 million per month, but is averaging about 14,000 vaccinations each day because of the shortage.
Fletcher said the county now expects to receive its first shipments of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine next week. — KPBS Staff
Legoland California Opens For ’Build ’N Play Days’
– 10:18 a.m., Friday, March 5, 2021
Legoland California Resort begins its ’Build ’N Play Days’ Friday, allowing families to enjoy some of the park’s outdoor attractions in a socially distanced environment.
The limited-time event, running through May 5, is also allowing the park to bring back hundreds of employees furloughed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Guests will have access to play structures within the park such as Kai’s Spinners and Cole’s Rock Climb, building activities, a scavenger hunt in Miniland U.S.A., live entertainment, character meet-and-greets and shopping at the Big Shop.
Build ’N Play activities include a Miniland dance party where guests can do the ’Lego limbo’ and design their own Minifigure on the roof of the model shop. Two building activities are intended to stretch children’s imaginations with separate sanitized brick packs and a space for children’s creations to stay on display each weekend.
Legoland was forced to shut down last March, along with other theme parks, which are not allowed to fully reopen until the least-restrictive yellow tier of California’s four-tiered reopening system is reached. San Diego County remains in the most restrictive purple tier.
Legoland California Resort President Kurt Stocks said he is optimistic they’ll be able to reopen in the near future.
’Obviously, we’re waiting on Governor Newsom to give us the green light to fully reopen, but at this moment we are going out into the market and we are advertising quite literally hundreds of jobs that we will need filled as we get ready to reopen,’ he told NBC7.
Those interested can apply at legolandjobs.com.
Tickets for Build ’N Play Days start at $19.99 and can be purchased by clicking here. — City News Service
San Diego County Reports 508 New COVID-19 cases, 17 Deaths
– 7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 4, 2021
San Diego County public health officials reported 508 new COVID-19 cases and 17 additional deaths Thursday, increasing the totals to 261,861 cases and 3,359 deaths.
Of 17,763 tests reported by the county, 3% returned positive. The 14-day rolling average decreased to 3.6% from Wednesday’s 3.7%.
The number of hospitalizations declined to 430, with 144 of those in intensive care units. There are 62 staffed, available ICU beds in the county.
One month ago, there were 1,265 people hospitalized with COVID-19, 369 of whom were in ICU beds.
Of the county’s population over the age of 16, 22.1% — or more than 594,000 people — have received at least one dose and 10.7% — or more than 287,000 people — have been fully inoculated. — City News Service

The Scripps Del Mar Vaccination Super Station will be closed on Saturday, March 6, due to the low number of COVID-19 vaccine doses that were delivered to Scripps Health this week.
The station will reopen the following day on Sunday, March 7.
Patients who had appointments at the super station on Saturday, which were all for second doses of the Pfizer vaccine, are being rescheduled for Sunday automatically through the MyTurn online appointment system. — KPBS Staff
County Prioritizes Second Dose Appointments As Vaccine Shortage Continues
– 7:10 p.m., Wednesday, March 3, 2021
Local vaccination sites are prioritizing people with second dose appointments because of the ongoing vaccine shortage, the county announced Wednesday.
There is currently a delay in Moderna vaccine shipments because of bad weather a few weeks ago across the U.S. The county shortage of Moderna vaccines is conflated with the Pfizer vaccines being used almost exclusively for people due for their second doses.
Those two issues are causing delays in the release of new appointments for people getting the vaccines for the first time.
“Our sites are working diligently to complete the vaccinations of people who are due for their second doses,” county Public Health Officer Dr. Wilma Wooten said. “When we get through the Moderna backlog, and more doses arrive, including the new Johnson and Johnson vaccine, first-dose appointments will be released for the many people who are both eligible and eager to get vaccinated.” — KPBS Staff
San Diego County On Path To Red Tier
– 4:36 p.m., Wednesday, March 3, 2021
San Diego County public health officials reported 352 new COVID-19 cases and 25 additional deaths Wednesday as health care sites await more vaccines, including the one-dose vaccine from Johnson & Johnson.
On Wednesday, Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said the county should be proud of the sacrifice it had made during the pandemic and suggested a change in the formula the state uses to calculate its four-tiered reopening structure could be on the way.
He said the more that vulnerable populations receive vaccines, the ’more it changes the calculus’ of the state’s metrics. However, vaccine shortages have frustrated efforts to get doses into arms.
’It is consistently erratic and consistently unpredictable,’ Fletcher said of vaccine deliveries.Is 888 Casino Rigged
The county’s largest vaccine site, Petco Park, reopened Wednesday after closing Saturday due to a Moderna vaccine shortage. It had to temporarily shutter several hours later, however, due to a winter storm bringing lightning.
’As of noon today, the Petco Vaccination Super Station has briefly paused operations due to safety concerns related to nearby lightning,’ UC San Diego Health wrote on Twitter. ’The site will reopen as soon as authorities determine it is safe to do so.’ — City News Service
– 5:22 p.m., Tuesday, March 2, 2021
Despite considerable improvement in handling the COVID-19 pandemic in recent weeks, San Diego County will remain in the state’s ’Purple Tier’ for at least one more week, it was announced Tuesday, as county officials reported 376 new infections and 14 deaths related to the virus.
Posting an adjusted case rate of 10.8 new daily cases per 100,000 people, the county still has to drop below 7 per 100,000 to enter the red tier in the state’s four-tiered reopening system. In the red tier, some indoor businesses such as gyms, movie theaters and indoor dining can reopen.
County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said it was just a matter of time before the county moved up.
’San Diego County is headed in the right direction, our cases are dropping and the number of vaccines administered continues to lead our state,’ he said Tuesday. ’We are seeing more school openings and know we are on the path to a lower tier. It is vital we continue to do everything we can to slow the spread and continue our forward progress and momentum.’
The county’s other metrics under the state reopening plan are also trending favorably. The seven-day positivity rate is just 4.2%, low enough to put San Diego County in the orange or moderate tier. The health equity quartile positivity rate — which looks at the worst-performing quarter of a county’s residents — is in the red tier with 6%. The state judges each county by its worst-performing metric — in San Diego County’s case, the daily case rate. — City News Service

President Joe Biden says the U.S. expects to take delivery of enough coronavirus vaccine for all adults by the end of May — two months earlier than anticipated.
He’s also pushing states to get at least one shot into the arms of teachers by the end of May to hasten school reopenings. Biden has also announced that drugmaker Merck will help produce rival Johnson & Johnson’s newly approved one-shot vaccine.
Despite the stepped-up pace of vaccine production, the work of inoculating Americans could extend well into the summer. It depends on both the government’s capacity to deliver doses and Americans’ willingness to roll up their sleeves. — Associated Press

County Prioritizes Second Dose Appointments As Vaccine Shortage Continues
– 7:10 p.m., Wednesday, March 3, 2021
Local vaccination sites are prioritizing people with second dose appointments because of the ongoing vaccine shortage, the county announced Wednesday.
There is currently a delay in Moderna vaccine shipments because of bad weather a few weeks ago across the U.S. The county shortage of Moderna vaccines is conflated with the Pfizer vaccines being used almost exclusively for people due for their second doses.
Those two issues are causing delays in the release of new appointments for people getting the vaccines for the first time.
“Our sites are working diligently to complete the vaccinations of people who are due for their second doses,” county Public Health Officer Dr. Wilma Wooten said. “When we get through the Moderna backlog, and more doses arrive, including the new Johnson and Johnson vaccine, first-dose appointments will be released for the many people who are both eligible and eager to get vaccinated.” — KPBS Staff
San Diego County On Path To Red Tier
– 4:36 p.m., Wednesday, March 3, 2021
San Diego County public health officials reported 352 new COVID-19 cases and 25 additional deaths Wednesday as health care sites await more vaccines, including the one-dose vaccine from Johnson & Johnson.
On Wednesday, Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said the county should be proud of the sacrifice it had made during the pandemic and suggested a change in the formula the state uses to calculate its four-tiered reopening structure could be on the way.
He said the more that vulnerable populations receive vaccines, the ’more it changes the calculus’ of the state’s metrics. However, vaccine shortages have frustrated efforts to get doses into arms.
’It is consistently erratic and consistently unpredictable,’ Fletcher said of vaccine deliveries.Is 888 Casino Rigged
The county’s largest vaccine site, Petco Park, reopened Wednesday after closing Saturday due to a Moderna vaccine shortage. It had to temporarily shutter several hours later, however, due to a winter storm bringing lightning.
’As of noon today, the Petco Vaccination Super Station has briefly paused operations due to safety concerns related to nearby lightning,’ UC San Diego Health wrote on Twitter. ’The site will reopen as soon as authorities determine it is safe to do so.’ — City News Service

Despite considerable improvement in handling the COVID-19 pandemic in recent weeks, San Diego County will remain in the state’s ’Purple Tier’ for at least one more week, it was announced Tuesday, as county officials reported 376 new infections and 14 deaths related to the virus.
Posting an adjusted case rate of 10.8 new daily cases per 100,000 people, the county still has to drop below 7 per 100,000 to enter the red tier in the state’s four-tiered reopening system. In the red tier, some indoor businesses such as gyms, movie theaters and indoor dining can reopen.
County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said it was just a matter of time before the county moved up.
’San Diego County is headed in the right direction, our cases are dropping and the number of vaccines administered continues to lead our state,’ he said Tuesday. ’We are seeing more school openings and know we are on the path to a lower tier. It is vital we continue to do everything we can to slow the spread and continue our forward progress and momentum.’
The county’s other metrics under the state reopening plan are also trending favorably. The seven-day positivity rate is just 4.2%, low enough to put San Diego County in the orange or moderate tier. The health equity quartile positivity rate — which looks at the worst-performing quarter of a county’s residents — is in the red tier with 6%. The state judges each county by its worst-performing metric — in San Diego County’s case, the daily case rate. — City News Service

President Joe Biden says the U.S. expects to take delivery of enough coronavirus vaccine for all adults by the end of May — two months earlier than anticipated.
He’s also pushing states to get at least one shot into the arms of teachers by the end of May to hasten school reopenings. Biden has also announced that drugmaker Merck will help produce rival Johnson & Johnson’s newly approved one-shot vaccine.
Despite the stepped-up pace of vaccine production, the work of inoculating Americans could extend well into the summer. It depends on both the government’s capacity to deliver doses and Americans’ willingness to roll up their sleeves. — Associated Press
