Profiling Canada’s tribal casinos

Those who are familiar with the casino scene will know that there are no set rules that apply to all countries and regions and that gambling laws can vary according to different locations. Gambling fans may also regard Canada in particular to be a popular gambling location as it has been legalised on the basis that it is regulated by its provincial gambling regulatory body. In fact, Canada is also known for its tribal casino scene as the indigenous community throughout Canada contributes to the country on many different levels even by achieving great success in the casino industry.

PS VR2 will cost US$550 when it arrives on Feb. 22

Sony finally has a release date for its next-gen virtual reality headset and how much it'll cost. The Sony PlayStation VR2 will arrive on February 22, making its availability exactly a year after it showed off the design. And it'll cost a hefty US$550 (around CA$750). It's more than the price you'll pay for the PlayStation 5, which you'll need to use the headset. So, prepare some extra cash. The headset comes with Sense controllers and stereo headphones. 

If you want a bundle with the Horizon Call of Mountain, that'll cost you US$600 (~CA$819). And then you have to shell out an extra US$50 (~CA$68) for charging station. And then you'll have to think about games, too. The PS VR2 won't support existing PS VR games due to technical reasons, so you have to think of that expense, too. It's available for pre-order through Sony in the US, UK, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg starting November 15. Other countries can lock in a pre-order through different retailers.

Amazon Prime members can access the entire Amazon Music catalogue, but only in shuffle mode

Amazon Prime gets a pretty sweet perk for music lovers. (At least those without a music streaming subscription yet.) The company now gives its Prime members access to its 100 million-plus song catalogue instead of the curated two-million song library before. Of course, there's a condition. You can only play songs in shuffle mode. If you want to select specific albums or tracks, you'll need to get an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription. That tier gives you access to lossless HD music playback, Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio support, and more.

But on top of this, Amazon Prime members are also getting access to many ad-free podcasts, new Amazon Exclusives podcasts, and a refreshed Amazon Music app.

Snapchat's Director Mode brings familiar, advanced video editing tools

If you use apps like TikTok, BeReal, or Instagram's Reels feature, you'll find the new Snapchat Director Mode familiar. Snap recently rolled out this mode to all iOS users and some Android users. (A full rollout on Android is coming in the next few months.) It adds filming and editing features like a green screen, which lets you record videos with a different background; dual camera, which was only previously available on iOS; quick edit, which lets you trim and splice multiple videos together; and a camera speed feature to speed up and slow down videos.

Director Mode is accessible through an icon on the main camera toolbar. You can use it to share content with your friends, but the new tools come as Snap tries to promote its Spotlight feature. Spotlight is Snapchat's answer to TikTok, which it is heavily promoting for creators to use.
