'Casino Royale' has the answers to all my complaints about the 45-year-old James Bond series, and some I hadn't even thought of. It's not that I didn't love some of the earlier films, like some, dislike others and so on, as that I was becoming less convinced that I ever had to see another one.
HBO Max is set to release a longer, more violent version of Casino Royale. This tidbit comes courtesy of Phil Noble Jr. and Movie-censorship.com’s report about the different theatrical cuts of the film. Apparently, the United States got a version of the film that excluded a torture scene and some extended fight sequences. There was some concern when the movie came out that the violence was too much to secure a PG-13 rating. In other territories, it was left unchanged. Now, HBO Max viewers will be getting a taste of that increased action. However, they shouldn’t be expecting a wildly different film by any means. In some respects, this is more of a move to differentiate the streaming platform’s options from a bevy of competitors.
Since a bit of a slow start, HBO Max has managed to make up some ground because of library its managed to build up. Warner Media has begun clearing up some of the common misconceptions that have sprung up around the naming of HBO Go, HBO Now, and HBO Max. In an effort to streamline, the company is phasing out HBO Go to direct people toward their newest release. Fans were confused upon the outset, but HBO remains dedicated toward educating the users.
The version of CASINO ROYALE on HBOGO/MAX/WHATEVER is the slightly longer, l'il bit more violent cut that was not released theatrically in the US. Heads up if you're into that sort of thing.
— Phil Nobile Jr. (@PhilNobileJr) June 26, 2020Warner media’s statement said a couple of weeks ago, “Now that HBO Max has launched and is widely distributed, we can implement some significant changes to our app offering in the U.S. As part of that plan, we will be sunsetting our HBO GO service in the U.S. We intend to remove the HBO GO app from primary platforms as of July 31, 2020.”
It adds, “Most customers who have traditionally used HBO GO to stream HBO programming are now able to do so via HBO Max, which offers access to all of HBO together with so much more. Additionally, the HBO NOW app and desktop experience will be rebranded to HBO. Existing HBO NOW subscribers will have access to HBO through the rebranded HBO app on platforms where it remains available and through play.hbo.com. HBO Max provides not only the robust offering of HBO but also a vast WarnerMedia library and acquired content and originals through a modern product.”

POKER MAGIC ABOARD DELTIN CASINO ROYALE: At the press conference (l to r) Barney Trouble, Sinead McManus (PRO), Naveen Goyal (of Adda52), Cathy Zao of WPT and Business Head of Poker at Delta Corp Manish J Adnani clue media people about the third edition of World Poker Tournament 2019
By Tara Narayan
ORE food for thought this week.I decided nobody is too old to go to casinos once in a way so I went and spentan evening aboard Jaydev Modi’s Casino Royale last week! I’ve got nothing against casinos becausegood, bad or ugly, the rest of the world has accepted them and good governmentsmake rules which casinos have to observe and they better observe them or else. Unfortunately,in our perennially developing and progressing poor country laws and rules arebroken constantly and therein lies the rub.
I dare say casinos exploit women but maybe one could alsosee it like this – they train young men and women (here they are mostly fromthe North Eastern states, mostly from Manipur I think), the women are moresuited to be anchor hostesses at the various gaming tables, and presumably theyearn good money as are also taken care of vis-à-vis accommodation andtransportation. Otherwise why would these young women work voluntarily incasinos just to be ogled at by men (and women!) who are the main gamblers atthe gaming tables? Young women are more decorative or easy on the eye(contradict me if you like) but perhaps because they come from places wherethey innately know how to keep cool and be patience – especially when malegamblers become tiresome vis-à-vis their wins or losses. It can’t be an easyjob that young women do in the gaming business.

The casino business is turning into an industry and growing by 20% to 25% in India currently. Casino revenue has replaced mining revenue and a bankrupt government of Goa is not going to push around the casinos too much. This is to say I’m changing my view on casinos and not only because the food aboard casinos or at least aboard Jaydev Mody’s grandmother of all casinos floating on the river Mandovi — Casino Royale — is superlatively good. I actually enjoyed my fresh lemon-spiked gin tonic and some of the snacks and for once the vegetable biryani was superlative (hard to find superb vegetarian biryani in town).
Let me begin at thebeginning. The lovely Sinead McManus (Irish of course) had sent in an invitefor media people to come and have a look at the third edition of the WorldPoker Tournament (WPT) which it was hosting Oct 15 to 21, 2919. The invite wasidling on the computer with nobody in the office expressing a desire to go – sorather than let it go waste at the last minute I decided I wasn’t too old to gofind out what the game of poker was all about. Say I was curious. Say there’ssomething about the word “poker” which appeals and presumably the lovelydescription of being “poker-faced” originates from it…poker-faced is one of myfavorite phrases in the English language. From the sound and looks of it pokeris a perfectly serious game of cards and what the Deltin Casino Royale washosting is the biggest national live poker tournament in league withAdda52.com — the most successful onlinepoker game in the country run by CEO Navin Goyal.
Gamers take their poker games seriously and the utterly non-flamboyant Navin Goyal, who was around, educated me a bit about poker. First of all it’s a cards game but it is a mind game too, you need to know your cards as well as be able to think ahead strategically (poker is not like roulette or slot machine which are purely luck games). I asked him a bit about himself and he said he is a Dehra Doon born and bred boy although based in Delhi, he has a passion for poker, “It’s a form of excitement and lifestyle in which you can learn about life, the game teaches the contrast between stillness and stagnation. A kind of spirituality for me I guess! Playing poker over the years you learn to be calm, because so much money is at stake. I play for entertainment only now…” He is a maths and statistics student and is happily married, two children.
FROM the sound of it there’s a paradigm shift going onin how today’s gen next thinks. Possibly they don’t fancy sitting in 9am to 5pmoffices in mundane jobs for years on end to earn a slow grinding living!They’ve got good education and want to live more interesting lifestyles thantheir parents did…preferring to hone their skills playing say professionalpoker in poker tournaments baited with big prize money, it…er…if they win ajackpot it enables them to relax and enjoy life for extended periods doingwhatever else they like.
The 3rd World Pokertournament aboard the Casino Royale was about winning from a prize pool of awhopping `3.25crore for the main event, it’s said to be the largest “guarantee for a singleevent in the country.” Women poker players? There were a few stunning womenpoker players around and one of them, Minissha Lamba, is a noted Hindi filmsand small screen star, she’s on her way to becoming quite a celebrity pokerplayer and loves to come to Goa. I said hello to her and she’s confided tobegin one needs money to play poker, but yes, the cards game keeps her mindalive, “many women abroad play poker and one must grant it the respect given tobridge, don’t women play bridge and have their all-women bridge parties in bigcities?”
I was introduced to Katrina Solomon and asked her about her combo of lovely, dusky complexion and statuesque figure, and she smiled, “it’s courtesy a Ukrainian father and Bangladesh mother!” She was busy with a casino shoot and for more information on the game of poker she directed me to Manish Adnani, (Business Head-Poker for Deltin Corp). After the poker tournament press conference was over Manish Adnani, a gregarious fellow, was happy to sit and chat a bit to guide some misguided media folk about poker and casinos in general!
LAST year they got something like 697 entries for theWPT for corpus prize money of `3.8 crore, “a winner may get anything from `68 to `69 lakh win!”So the game of poker is attracting serious attention and India has some worldpoker champs like Nikunj Jhunjhunwala, go read him up. Seasoned andexperienced poker player himself, Manish Adnani confirmed that 40% of pokerplayers are under 30 years of age, “I was 31 when I started playing poker, I’mnow 47 and have learned a lot about life…how to read people, when to standdown, poker is a game which can teach you the value of life!” Poker actuallyoriginated in France but it’s the USA Texas version which is more internationallyplayed.
He added, participants in the WPT pay a fee of `55,000 toparticipate and observe rules. They play from 3pm to 12.40 midnight and afterthat return to their hotels to rest and recreate, “Hey, I have a 22 years oldson who is not interested in poker games but my 19 years old daughter is!”There is “a spoilt side of life” to all this but WPT ethics are strictlyobserved. It goes without saying that those who gamble must learn to get up andgo when they win, “not carry on to lose it all! One must set one’s limits, Ialways say set a limit to how much to lose…”
Casino Royale is perhaps the largest and best maintained casino on the river Mandovi. While wandering around the various gaming sections I noticed that those coming from south India gaming in the general section were crazy about a game called Andar Bahar, a dozen odd group of young men from Bengalaru were ordering free snacks and enjoying Andar Bahar. Manish explained, “game works on pure luck but it’s a money spinner for us on the casino!” There’s nothing to it but a line drawn between “inside and outside” and a neutral space, whoever gets the last queen or king andar or bahar wins or something like that…must play it the next time I visit Casino Royale.
WHICH reminds me with some nostalgia that once upon atime when I got married late in life the hubby used to take me casino gamblingon my birthday and I would sort of doll up and go spend `5,000 and lose `5,000… nowadayshe doesn’t take me anywhere. Those days when you got a win the slot machinesused to go into a rushing tinkling sound and give one a high! Nowadays youhave to insert hundred rupee notes into the slot machines and that’s quiteboring. Sinead McManus (Deltin Corp’s PR consultant) tells me a woman mayhappily spend a night gaming at the casino with a mere `1,000, “Order some snacks, a drink,and sit at the slot machines hoping fora win. It was a great stress-buster for me at one time!”

I did ask Manish Adnani about the talk of moving thecasinos out of river Mandovi and he said, it will take some time and unlikelyto happen until the Mopa Airport comes up, “The Aguada bay area is notpractical and in any case the Goa government will have to take a call on that,we hope for the best.” Some media folk decided to hang around while I decidedto take an early boat back to Panaji, an absolutely smooth ride despite the badweather earlier that day. Looking into the dark swirling muscular waters of theriver Mandovi waters at night can make one shiver a little!
Back at the TransportDesk outside I told the surly guy there that Natasha (Deltin PRO) had assuredme a drop back home at Tonca…he tells me to go out and wait, but it didn’t workout for even their cabbies on call want long drop fares! I hung around, waited in the drizzle of rain by thekerbside of the road, refusing to pay `2,000 to go home to Tonca… mercifully friendsRajesh and Rajeshree Ghadge recognized me and gave me a lift home in their car.A not-so-anxious husband said, “You should have taken me with you! Who told youto go off alone!”
I promised him the next time I’ll take him with me!Good news or bad news: The casinos are here to stay in Goa and the riverMandovi for the time being. It is too much revenue for the government of Pramod Sawant to dismiss cursorily, hisgovernment is bankrupt even if it is not acting like it is bankrupt. Casinorevenue — whatever it is — has replaced mining revenue. Work out thedifference if you can. As for me I wish my parents had taught me to play pokerwhile I was growing up! Is it too late to learn now?
Note:Media folk got a complimentary pink band (worth `8,000) but there are also otherbands on sale starting at `2,500 with differing value for money, in the economicalcategory the footfall is very high and a bitchy friend with me commented, “toomuch cattle class visiting the casinos these days! Indian tourists no longerwant to go on Goan cruise ride boats, they’re crazy about the casinos and loveto pose with the three-quarter naked Ukrainian models doing the rounds on board the casino!”
So a question arises, how much is Goan tourismdependent on casino tourism nowadays? Funny, I had a Foster’s plastic pet water bottle in hand when I left, havingpicked it up for I was so thirsty, and what do you know? The watchman at thecasino entrance saw it in my hand and insisted on taking it away from me. I’llput it in my bag, I protested, but he said, no, no, give it to him. May be hethought I would throw the empty bottle into the river (presumably because that’swhat most Indian casino visitors do) and he has been trained into the virtuesof being eco-friendly!
