Casino lets the dogs in

    The Showboat casino hotel in Atlantic City has become the first gambling house there to entertain canines.

    There will be a $10 fee for pets, but that’s being waived during the initial promotion.

    Pet owners told the Star Ledger they were delighted that a weekend at the tables no longer means leaving their furry friends behind.

    But, wait a second, hard-up gamblers are known for turning their belongs into cash to play a few more hands. Would they…? No, no, we shouldn’t even think it!
