    TIDAL POWER
    November 26, 1966 - Rance Estuary, Brittany

    President Charles de Gaulle opened the world's first tidal power station at Rance estuary, in Brittany. La Rance is the most powerful tidal power plant in the world. With its width of 700 metres, it blocks La Rance estuary situated near Saint-Malo (Côtes d'Armor). The operation of the dam is similar to that of run-of-river power plants since its head is also low and there is a substantial flow rate. At high and low tide, the water builds up rapidly on one of the sides of the dam. When the difference in level is sufficient, the gates are opened and the water rushes into the dam. The turbines are reversible so as to be able to operate regardless of the direction of water flow. Each year, the power plant generates 500 million kWh.

Most online casinos offers a fast promotion and programs where a player can win prizes. Some promotions includes tournaments, bonus from inviting friends and many different things each day. Casinos may label their players using bonuses as ?bonus abusers?. Every player in every casino may commit fraud as well as the online casinos themselves. One of the examples of a player fraud is by creating multiple user accounts for the hope of claiming sign up bonuses. As for the casino fraud they change the terms of a bonus once a player has completed the requirements required for a player to claim his bonus.

Although there are some countries that prohibit the use of casinos and forbids bet as a respect in their religion or prohibits electronic transmission of information for sports betting across telecommunications lines many will still play to win or for entertainment purposes.
