Lodden Thinks

Lodden Thinks is a strategic quiz in which two players bet on a third person’s answer to a question. Antonio and Laak invented the game during their time at a WSOPE feature table. They wanted a way to make things more entertaining.

Johnny Lodden was the first ever ‘Brain’ and the game’s original namesake.

Players are betting on a third person’s opinion (known as ‘The Brain’ or ‘Lodden Thinker’). So, the truthful answer to the question is irrelevant. But a qualifying question must have a numerical answer.

The winner is the player whose answer is closest to The Brain’s.

Here’s a highlight reel of Antonio, and Lodden Thinks, in action:

The most strategic (and fun) part of the Lodden Thinks comes during the auction stage of the game. This bidding round starts with one player making an opening offer. These proposed bets are typically very conservative. A bid in Lodden Thinks is not a specific number but a range of numbers that includes everything above the bid.

A bid of “10” would be a bet of “10 or more”, for example. So, an opening offer should be way lower than what you believe The Brain’s answer will be.

They can make a counterbid if their opponent thinks this bid is too low (and The Brain’s answer will be higher than 5). The first player can accept the new proposal or make a higher one themselves.

This process repeats until the players have an agreement.

Esfandiari likened this to a Chinese Auction where entrants buy multiple raffle tickets to increase their chances of winning.

The aim is to get the lowest number you think will be a correct answer to maximise your chances of winning. You can also attempt to trick your opponent into bidding too high.

In the Lady Gaga example above, the betting round might resemble something like this:

• Player 1: “How many dogs does The Brain think Lady Gaga has touched this year?” 
• Player 2 (Who believes The Brain’s answer will be around 20): “Over 5 dogs.”
• Player 1: “Over 6 dogs.”
• Player 2: “Over 10 dogs.”
• Player 1: “Over 25 dogs.”
• Player 2: “Sold.”

In this case, Player 2 now has numbers 0-24. He would win if The Brain’s answer were 24 or less, and Player 1 would win if The Brain’s answer were 25 or higher.

According to Phil Laak, Lodden Thinks can be played by anyone, so long as ‘they are not in a coma.’

Here’s a summary of how to do so.

1. Players nominate someone to be the Brain.
2. One of the other two players asks the other a question with a numerical answer.
3. The Brain gets some time to consider their answer and, if possible, writes it down or tells it to someone else. This process ensures that there is no cheating.
4. Players bid on their answers until they agree on a clear ‘over and under’ number.
5. The Brain reveals their answer, and the winner takes home bragging rights!

As well as killing time at the tables, Lodden Thinks is a great way to liven up a long drive or a house party. game

Your imagination only limits the absurdity of the questions. So, there is a lot of fun to be had by all!

Lodden Thinks is probably one of Esfandiari’s best legacies and a fantastic example of how he tried to make the tables as fun as possible.

Software providers in the casino industry create online games and real money slots that offer safe and intuitive play. Few players will know the names of the companies behind their favourite games when they first start playing on casino sites, but once settled players often look through the software providers back catalogue for new games to try.

Licensing

Australia’s licensing is far less relaxed and operates on two levels. Firstly, all gambling policies and statutes are set out at the federal level. Thereafter, each Australian state or territory becomes responsible for the issue of licenses to gambling operations, as well as ensuring that federal requirements are adhered to.

Each of the nine separate state/territory authorities also has sufficient autonomy to determine which gambling activities are permitted within its own jurisdiction. Encouraging responsible gambling is also a matter delegated at this level, as Australia does have a slightly higher than average number of problem gamblers.

Stockholm-listed Global Gaming AB has suffered a further setback in reviving the prospects of its flagship Ninja Casino property, after confirming that it latest ‘license revocation appeal’ has been rejected by Sweden’s Supreme Administrative Court.

Following a summer of legal disputes challenging gambling regulator Spelinspektionen‘s termination of Malta-based subsidiary ‘SafeEnt’ licence on the grounds of ‘serious operating deficiencies’ in the management of Ninja Casino, Global Gaming governance has, therefore, been served with yet another Swedish high court rejection.

Global Gaming began legal proceedings began in June, challenging SafeEnt’s indefinite market suspension within the regional administrative court of Linköping, which refused to overturn the Spelinspektionen judgement.

The decision saw Global Gaming swiftly lodge an appeal with Sweden’s ‘Supreme Court‘, requesting that SafeEnt be granted ‘temporary relief’ from the suspension – a motion rejected by Swedish judges.

Following its rejections, Global Gaming governance elevated its Ninja Casino appeal to the ‘Supreme Administrative Court’, which governs Sweden’s third and final layer of legal disputes.

Tobias Fagerlund, Chief Executive of Global Gaming, detailed that the company ‘was disappointed at the decision’, and that it would examine further appeal options within Sweden’s legal systems.

Publishing its interim trading statement on 20 August, Fagerlund and Global Gaming governance disclosed that the company had begun reducing employee headcount as a result of its regulatory issues.
