Weekend bets to keep an eye on…

Juventus vs Inter – Juventus to win at odds of 2.271Juventus have had a very disappointing season and face newly crowned champions Inter. Juve is still not guaranteed Champions League qualification, which is something Ronaldo & co will be keen to rectify with just 2 games left. Inter have nothing to play for and Juve will be looking to put a marker down on the first side to take their title since 2011.

Arminia v Hoffenheim – Arminia +0 handicap at odds of 2.025Hoffenheim have won just once on the road in 2021 (v Hertha Berlin). They have nothing to play for and sit comfortably mid-table. Arminia is in a huge relegation scrap and is desperate for the points. They’re battling valiantly, winning their last 2 home matches. When you consider these circumstances, the +0 handicap looks attractive.Slask Wroclaw vs Stal Mielec – Slask to win at odds of 2.274Slask is in the running (along with 5 other teams) for the final Europa Conference League qualification spot. They face Stal Mielec who all but secured their Ekstraklasa survival last time out. Stal could still go down if they lose, Podbeskidzie wins and there’s a 15-goal swing. All things considered, it’s an unlikely scenario. Slask has more to play for and at that price, they’re worth a chance.

FunFair falls apart as ETH gas fees soar

FunFair burst onto the crypto gambling scene back in 2017, offering a white-label crypto casino complete with exciting games. It quickly becomes popular with ERC-20 token gamblers, with the likes of CasinoFair, CryptoCasino and King-Tiger leading the charge.Unfortunately, as the Ethereum gas prices continued to rise, these games became unviable to run, with crippling gas fees grinding the FunFair gears to a halt. All of these FunFair casinos are now closed, displaying a rather sad uniformed message letting players know that the fun is over. In the hours after the closure, FunFair’s token, FUN, crashed in price. It has since rallied with the rest of the crypto market, but without an active use case, it’s destined to sink once more.Players can still access their FUN wallets from the various casinos to transfer their funds elsewhere. There’s no end in sight for the plight of FunFair, but they are claiming to be working on a solution. EIP-1559 is set to go live in July, which should help bring the fees down. This is a good temporary solution that will put a band-aid on the high fees until Ethereum 2.0 goes live.

Resorts World Las Vegas gets into bed with Gemini

Las Vegas is the home of gambling, and thanks to Resorts World Las Vegas, the strip is about to get a whole lot more crypto-friendly. The brand-new resort has inked a deal with popular American crypto exchange, Gemini, that allows guests to pay for their stay, buy casino chips and more using crypto and the Gemini wallet.

This deal will instantly make Resorts World Las Vegas one of the most crypto-friendly resorts on the strip, taking crypto adoption in the US to the next level. Giving casino goers the chance to get their hands on chips using crypto is a massive leap for the gambling industry, giving players an experience they previously only had through the internet.

If this proves to be popular we could see more resorts on the strip opt to allow players to play with crypto. Resorts World Las Vegas is set to open on 24 June, with Zedd billed as the inaugural resident DJ.
