ANYONE for Kosher Poker?
The Jewish festival of Chanukah is almost upon us, and for Jews that means wine, candles and a chance to play the dreidel game, a pastime marginally less exciting than counting dust.
But what's this? The new No Limit Texas Dreidel gives religion a gambling twist.
The stakes are small (chocolate money), and figuring out the odds of your hand are much, much easier than with actual poker.

Wow indeed. And why not extend the idea that gambling is a spiritual thing to all religions?
