(AsiaGameHub) - The court ruled that the bets were placed voluntarily and dismissed the platform’s liability. Brazil.- The 3rd Special Civil Court of Anápolis, in Goiás, rejected a lawsuit brought against Novibet, in which a player sought the cancellation of sports bets made on the platform. The gambler had also requested the return of approximately R$ 50,000 (€8,500) in betting losses plus R$ 10,000 (€ 1,700) as compensation for moral damages. In the lawsuit, the plaintiff claimed he began using the platform in 2022, prior to the regulation of online gambling in Brazil last year, and that a recreational habit had developed into a case of gambling addiction, officially diagnosed as Gambling Disorder. According to the court records, the gambler asserted that the operator had failed to implement effective blocking and warning measures as required by responsible gambling policies. However, Novibet’s defense maintained that all bets were placed voluntarily by a legally competent adult and emphasized that the company offers control tools such as deposit limits, alerts, and self-exclusion options. In her judgment, Judge Luciana de Araújo Camapum Ribeiro first denied a motion questioning the jurisdiction of the Special Court and determined that technical expertise was unnecessary to assess the case. Upon reviewing the substance of the claims, the magistrate observed that betting contracts are inherently aleatory and that the risk of loss is an integral part of the activity. The ruling further clarified that a diagnosis of gambling addiction, by itself, does not invalidate legal transactions conducted by a person with full legal capacity. According to the decision, there was no evidence of a service failure by the platform, fraudulent conduct, or unjustified retention of funds. The judge also stated that holding the operator accountable for the user’s financial losses could create legal uncertainty and promote risky behavior among other players. Consequently, the court dismissed any civil liability attributed to the platform. The ruling also noted that Ordinance SPA/MF No. 1,231/2024 sets out guidelines for monitoring and promoting responsible gaming but does not impose on operators the duty to safeguard clients’ financial lives. During her reasoning, the judge referenced similar rulings from the Court of Justice of São Paulo in cases involving requests for reimbursement of losses incurred on online betting platforms, where the prevailing view was that such transactions were made voluntarily. The decision also nullified preliminary injunctions previously issued in the case. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - The online gambling operator returned to profit amid double-digit growth in active customers and revenue in Mexico. Spain.- Codere Online has reported solid growth in the first quarter of 2026, with Mexico standing out as a key driver. The Nasdaq-listed operator recorded revenue of €60.3m (£54.7m), a 16 per cent increase from Q1 2025. Adjusted EBITDA rose from €1.8m to €6m, while net income swung from a €700,000 loss to a €7m profit. Marcus Arildsson, Codere Online’s CFO, described the quarter as “a clear step forward in profitability,” highlighting the EBITDA growth and return to net profit. The strong start contrasts with full-year 2025, which closed with a €1.8m net loss. Casino operations accounted for 63 per cent of group revenue, with sportsbook contributing 37 per cent. Growth was supported by a 14 per cent increase in active customers, now totalling 183 million. Mexico delivered standout results, boding well for the operator as the country prepares to host the FIFA World Cup with the US and Canada starting next month. Mexican net gaming revenue (NGR) climbed 13 per cent to €34.6m on the back of a 20 per cent increase in the number of active customers. The upcoming World Cup is expected to further boost engagement, though the Mexican market continues to face challenges amid the gambling “sin tax” introduced last year. In Spain, NGR rose 16 per cent year-on-year to €25.5m. Across Codere’s other core territories of Argentina, Colombia and Panama, combined revenue dipped by 2 per cent to €4.4m. Codere Online projects full-year revenue of €235–245m and EBITDA of €15–20m, which would compare to €224.1m and €13.8m respectively in 2025. CEO Aviv Sher commented: “We delivered a very strong start to 2026, achieving record quarterly net gaming revenue of €64.4m, up 13 per cent year-on-year. In Spain, performance accelerated meaningfully, with net gaming revenue growing 16 per cent, reflecting a clear continuation and acceleration of the positive trends we began to see in the second half of 2025, particularly in the fourth quarter. Codere Online was spun off from Grupo Codere in 2021. Grupo Codere retains a majority stake but is reportedly exploring a potential sale, with some reports citing a potential $2bn valuation.

(AsiaGameHub) - Denmark-facing RoyalCasino will boost the proportion of LCKY Group’s revenue from regulated markets. Denmark.- Malta-based LCKY Group has reached an agreement to acquire RoyalCasino, a Danish online casino operator operating exclusively within the country’s regulated iGaming market. The brand will become part of LCKY’s existing portfolio, which includes LuckyCasino, HappyCasino, FlaxCasino, Vera&John, and OneCasino. The acquisition strengthens the presence of LCKY Group, formerly known as Glitnor Group, in Denmark while increasing the share of its revenue generated from regulated markets. The deal is expected to provide immediate financial benefits, with pro-forma estimates indicating a revenue increase of 18 to 20 per cent and an EBITDA improvement of 29–31 per cent. Richard Brown, CEO of LCKY Group, described the move as “highly strategic and financially compelling”. “RoyalCasino brings both strong market presence and high-quality earnings in Denmark, a market that closely aligns with our focus on regulated, sustainable growth,” he added. Brown continued: “The transaction enhances our scale, strengthens our competitive position, and offers clear opportunities to drive synergies and long-term value creation. We look forward to collaborating closely with the RoyalCasino team to realise these opportunities.” Per Petersen, CEO of RoyalCasino, stated: “Our industry is marked by high levels of innovation and competition, and we believe the combination of RoyalCasino’s local expertise and LCKY’s international scale and iGaming experience represents an excellent foundation for mutual success. We are excited to introduce LCKY to our Danish customer base.” The deal remains subject to regulatory approval, with completion anticipated in the second half of 2026. RoyalCasino was advised by Partis. Financial details, including the purchase price and funding arrangements, have not been disclosed. The announcement precedes new gambling advertising restrictions in Denmark, which include a complete ban on ads during live sports broadcasts and tighter limits on outdoor promotions and free-to-play bonuses.

(AsiaGameHub) - The KSA is also targeting unlicensed operators that misuse the names and logos of prominent Dutch athletes and brands. The Netherlands.- The Dutch gambling authority, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), reports it submitted more than 4,600 reports to Meta in April concerning ads for unlicensed gambling. As part of its task force on illegal gambling, the regulator has increased how often it reports to the parent company of Facebook and Instagram about advertisements from operators lacking a KSA licence. It states that a recent meeting of the coalition also involved exchanging up-to-date knowledge, trends, and insights. The working group also talked about how firms can safeguard their trademarks and conducted a brainstorming session on what further actions are required to address illegal providers on social media platforms. “Illegal gambling operators run numerous advertisements on social media,” the KSA stated. “They use the names and logos of famous Dutch athletes and major brands to appear more trustworthy. Consumers often find it hard to tell if a gambling operator is licensed. To safeguard consumers, the KSA is therefore intensifying its efforts to fight online advertising by illegal operators.” Concerns over licensed gambling ads in the Netherlands Concerns in the Netherlands extend beyond just unlicensed gambling advertisements. A recent study from the City University of Hong Kong and the University of Bristol revealed that a substantial share of advertisements from KSA-licensed gambling operators on Facebook and Instagram may have violated age-targeting rules. While online gaming licensees were more compliant, with just 7.3 per cent of their ads failing to meet standards, offline licence holders showed a far higher non-compliance rate, with close to 30 per cent of their campaigns breaking the Dutch prohibition on targeting individuals under 24. The violations were partly attributed to dependence on Meta’s automated Advantage+ optimisation tool, which sets the initial target age to 18 by default unless changed manually. The report also pointed to shortcomings in Meta’s reporting system, which employs wide age ranges like 18–24, complicating advertisers' ability to confirm they are specifically excluding 18 to 23-year-olds as required. The study advised Meta to supply audience reach data in single-year age groups. It also proposed that the technology company could set country-specific legal minimum ages as a default. Additionally, the researchers suggest the KSA make it clear to land-based gambling licensees that they must follow the same online advertising restrictions as online operators. More stringently, the report advocates for stronger enforcement actions, including the pre-approval of gambling advertisements. The government is already seeking to go further, having proposed a total ban on gambling advertising in the Netherlands. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - Situated in Polson, the 35,000-square-foot facility offers approximately 300 gaming machines. The newly opened 400 Horses Casino is now operational in Polson, Montana, having been completed ahead of schedule. The Indian Gaming Association (IGA), together with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and S&K Gaming, participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Located near Highway 83 and the Polson Airport, this expansive venue spans 35,000 square feet and features about 300 gaming machines, as well as outdoor patio areas and a restaurant. Its operations support more than 200 jobs, with additional seasonal employment opportunities available each summer. The casino’s name, “400 Horses,” pays tribute to Chief Alexander of the Pend d’Oreille people—a respected tribal leader known for his significant role in the region’s history. The ribbon-cutting ceremony. Photo: Indian Gaming Association (IGA). David Z. Bean, chairman of IGA, remarked: “This beautiful facility reflects the strength and vision of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and their commitment to investing in the future of their people. Tribal gaming continues to create opportunity, support families, and strengthen communities across Indian Country while protecting and exercising tribal sovereignty. “Tribal gaming is about much more than entertainment. It is about creating opportunities for future generations, strengthening tribal economies, and ensuring tribes have the ability to provide for their communities through their own success and leadership.” In April 2025, S&K Gaming initiated construction on the casino, marking the project’s start with a ground-breaking ceremony attended by representatives from the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT).

(AsiaGameHub) - Consolidated revenue increased by 2 per cent year-over-year. US.- Light & Wonder reported US$790 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2026, marking a 2 per cent increase compared to the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA grew by 5 per cent to US$327 million; however, net income fell by 37 per cent to US$52 million following the company’s allocation of approximately US$50 million to legal reserves, which included a portion of a US$128 million settlement related to a dispute with Aristocrat Leisure Ltd. Gaming revenue rose 3 per cent to US$512 million during the quarter, primarily driven by a 38 per cent increase in gaming operations revenue, reaching US$239 million. Table products revenue climbed 24 per cent to US$63 million. Gaming machine sales revenue declined by 25 per cent, largely due to the timing of video lottery terminal shipments in North America and international markets relative to the prior-year period. The average selling price per unit remained stable at around US$19,700. In the igaming segment, revenue grew by 18 per cent while EBITDA increased by 22 per cent, supported by expansion in the United States. SciPlay revenue continued to face pressure amid what the company described as a mature social casino market, although direct-to-consumer revenue and active user metrics improved sequentially. Chief Financial Officer Oliver Chow stated that the group remains focused on investing in growth opportunities, reducing debt levels, and returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases. According to the May 6 filing, 25 per cent of total outstanding shares have been repurchased since the initiation of the company’s buyback programme. Light & Wonder anticipates continuing to lower its leverage through 2026, aiming for a net debt leverage ratio below 3.0x by the first half of 2027. The company was recently awarded a new 10-year contract by the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) following a public competitive bidding process. It has served as the central system provider and operator for the IGB since its launch in 2012. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - The American Gaming Association has reported a 21.4 per cent net positive outlook among executives, despite 81 per cent identifying sports event contracts on prediction markets as a significant risk. US – The American Gaming Association (AGA)’s latest Gaming Industry Outlook has shown that gaming executives hold anoptimistic view about the industry’s future, as key performance indicators continue to improve. However, new risks—especially those linked to prediction market platforms offering sports event contracts—are becoming a growing source of concern for industry leaders, according to the survey. The Gaming Conditions Index (GCI) reflects real economic activity across gaming revenue, employment, wages, executive sentiment, and casino hotel event activity, which grew by 1.5 per cent year-over-year, indicating ongoing confidence and momentum within the sector. Bill Miller, AGA President and CEO, said: “The legal, state- and tribal-regulated gaming industry continues to show resilience and adaptability amid a rapidly changing economic climate.” “Operators are concentrating on investing in innovation and providing top-tier entertainment experiences, while also managing a shifting competitive environment and regulatory framework.” Key findings include: Over 60 per cent of executives anticipate increased capital investment, higher revenues, and improved balance sheets over the next six to 12 months. Executive sentiment reached its highest level since Q3 2022, with a 21.4 per cent net positive outlook across core business indicators. 62 per cent of executives intend to raise capital investments over the following six to 12 months, while promotional spending is expected to decrease for the second consecutive survey period. Emerging threats Despite strong fundamentals, prediction markets offering sports event contracts have emerged as a major concern, with 81 per cent of executives naming them a “very significant” threat to the regulated gaming sector. “Illegal sports betting via sports event contracts is increasingly undermining legal, state- and tribal-regulated operators,” stated Miller. “It’s evident that the legal, regulated industry perceives this as a serious challenge and will persistently oppose it to safeguard the integrity of our industry.” Executives also highlighted several additional evolving risks affecting operations: Inflation, tariffs, and geopolitical uncertainties remain key operational constraints, while federal regulatory issues have surged in importance. Employee wages were cited by 54 per cent of respondents as the primary cost pressure, followed by tax and regulatory policy shifts. Competition from new forms of gaming was flagged by 42 per cent of participants (up from 25 per cent in Q3 2025). Methodology The AGA Gaming Industry Outlook is produced biannually by Oxford Economics. It delivers a timely assessment of recent industry performance and future expectations based on executive sentiment, gaming activity, and economic metrics. The Q1 2026 survey was conducted between March 23 and April 8, 2026. A total of 26 executives participated, including senior-level representatives from major international and domestic gaming firms, gaming equipment providers, and online gaming and sports betting operators affiliated with AGA.

(AsiaGameHub) - In the game, the untamed West is reimagined as a battleground where fire and sky clash. Press release.- Play’n GO launches Colt Lightning Inferno, a high-energy video slot where fire and lightning converge across a scorched frontier driven by elemental power. The Colt returns in a storm of electric intensity, charging through a desert landscape torn by thunderbolts and swirling storm clouds. In Colt Lightning Inferno, the wild West is transformed into a battlefield between flame and sky, where a mystical horseshoe pulses with energy and a blazing fireball dominates the center of the reels. Animal spirits—from soaring eagles to alert mountain lions and coiled serpents—embody survival in a land shaped by heat and light. At the heart of the tempest lies the Inferno Core, a powerful visual element that collects electric fire coins as they strike. Each surge heightens the atmosphere, reflecting Play’n GO’s commitment to immersive worlds and evolving reel mechanics. When lightning frames descend, symbols undergo rapid transformation in bursts of flame, emphasizing nature’s subjugation to elemental force. And when fireballs sweep across the grid, the Colt itself evolves, taking on a more ferocious form influenced by the storm. Colt Lightning Inferno continues Play’n GO’s tradition of animal-themed titles and dynamic reel experiences, blending cinematic storytelling with expanding paylines activated during pivotal moments. The Western setting provides a bold departure from the lush jungles and mythic realms featured in previous releases, highlighting the studio’s versatility while upholding its signature quality and clarity across both mobile and desktop platforms. Magnus Wallentin, games ambassador at Play’n GO, stated: “Colt Lightning Inferno channels a raw, elemental energy that resonates instantly with players. The visual evolution of the reels and the central role of the Inferno Core give the game a distinct identity within our collection, while the Western storm motif introduces a compelling new dimension.” With fire above and thunder beneath, Colt Lightning Inferno marks a formidable entry in Play’n GO’s 2026 lineup.

(AsiaGameHub) - Badan Permainan Harian Belanda (KSA) telah memperkuat serbuan ke atas pengiklan perjudian dalam talian tidak sah, dengan menyerahkan lebih daripada 4.600 laporan kepada Meta pada April sahaja, mengenai promosi perjudian haram yang ditemui di Facebook dan Instagram. KSA menyatakan semula dalam satu kemas kini pada hari Rabu bahawa melawan perjudian dalam talian haram masih merupakan keutamaan utama bagi penguatkuasa. Pusat strategi penguatkuasaan ialah memberikan penghujahan kepada aktiviti promosi oleh operator perjudian luar negara atau tidak sah. Mengikut penguatkuasa tersebut, entiti-entiti ini kerap mencuri nama dan logo atlit Belanda terkenal serta merek dagang yang terkenal untuk menyokong kredibiliti mereka dengan cara palsu. Praktek-praktek ini didapati menyukarkan keupayaan pengguna untuk memastikan sama ada laman perjudian dalam talian tersebut mempunyai lesen Belanda yang diperlukan dan oleh itu langkah-langkah perlindungan pemain. “Pengiklanan media sosial menjangkau ramai orang,” KSA berteguran. Ia menggariskan kepentingan meningkatkan usaha untuk memastikan iklan haram dikeluarkan dengan cepat. Peningkatan kepada laporan kepada Meta baru-baru ini adalah sebahagian daripada usaha kerjasama berterusan yang dipanggil oleh KSA, melibatkan pihak berkuasa awam, wakil platform, serta syarikat-sektor swasta. Mengikut laporan KSA 2025, penguatkuasa bekerja bersama rakan-rakan lain untuk melapor iklan Google ‘secara masal’ tahun lalu. Ini menyebabkan jumlah hasil carian dari penaja haram berkurangan. Laporan juga memperkirakan 50,000 iklan perjudian haram ditemui setiap bulan melalui media sosial tahun lalu. Masalah anak-anak Menargetkan perjudian anak-anak juga masih merupakan isu yang lazim kepada penguatkuasa baru-baru ini. Kerajaan Belanda melaksanakan larangan ke atas ‘iklan tidak ditarget’ pada pertengahan 2023. Pengiklanan kepada pemain di bawah umur 24 tidak dibenarkan di Belanda. Satu kajian minggu ini, berfokus secara eksklusif kepada 277 iklan daripada data Ad Library Meta dan operator Belanda yang disahkan, mengesan 31 daripada 277 iklan (11.2%) yang menargetkan kumpulan umur termasuk pemain bergelar 18 hingga 23. Penyokong lesen perjudian dalam talian menunjukkan kadar pematuhan yang tinggi iaitu 92.7% (hanya 7.3% tidak patuh), manakala iklan yang berkaitan dengan penyokong lesen luaran mempunyai kadar pematuhan yang lebih rendah, dengan hampir 30% (14 daripada 47 iklan) melanggar had umur. Pada Januari tahun ini, kerajaan kolej Belanda mengimbau kepada pelarangan sepenuhnya ke atas iklan perjudian di pasaran. Perjanjian kolej pada masa itu berkata: “Kami sedang memperkuat tanggungjawab online bagi pembekal perjudian, memberi penghujahan ke atas laman perjudian haram dan memperkenalkan pelarangan sepenuhnya ke atas iklan perjudian dalam talian. Kami sedang meneroka untuk membatasi bilangan lesen ke atas laman perjudian dalam talian.” Pada masa itu, badan perdagangan perjudian VNLOK memperingatkan pelarangan sepenuhnya ke atas iklan perjudian boleh mengalihaktiviti ke pasaran hitam. Björn Fuchs, ketua VNLOK, berkata pelarangan sepenuhnya ke atas iklan akan merosakkan dasar perjudian Belanda yang sedia ada.

A special symbol—a royal crown placed atop a pillow—serves as a distinctive visual cue reflecting the platform’s aesthetic. During the Bonus round, Coins are transformed into the casino’s lollipop mascot, while successful winning combinations cause the casino’s logo to illuminate in the background. These design choices reinforce the game’s strong connection to Iris Casino’s identity and create a more exclusive gaming experience. Olga Hlukhovskaya, business development director at 1spin4win, stated, “Branded slots play a crucial role in helping operators differentiate themselves and deliver a more memorable experience for players. With Iris Cash’n Fruits Hold and Win, we merged our classic slot gameplay with Iris Casino’s visual identity, seamlessly incorporating familiar brand elements directly into both the design and interactive features.

(AsiaGameHub) - Ketegangan yang semakin meningkat di Timur Tengah boleh menangguhkan pembukaan rasmi Wynn Al Marjan Island pada tahun 2027, sebuah destinasi pelancongan bersepadu bernilai AS$5.1 bilion di Emiriah Arab Bersatu. Projek ini sedang dalam pembinaan di Ras Al Khaimah, EAB – tepat di tengah-tengah perang Teluk yang sedang berlaku. Kerja-kerja tapak dihentikan buat sementara waktu pada 28 Februari, selepas tentera Amerika Syarikat dan Israel menyerang Iran dalam operasi tentera yang dikenali sebagai Operasi Epic Fury. Pada masa itu, Wynn menasihatkan kakitangan di rantau ini untuk bekerja dari luar negara "jika kedutaan negara masing-masing mengesyorkannya". Pembinaan dimulakan semula pada bulan Mac, tetapi ketegangan semakin meningkat kerana perang masih berterusan. Pada hari Isnin, seorang pegawai kanan EAB dilaporkan memberitahu Israel bahawa mereka bersedia untuk membalas dendam selepas Iran melancarkan peluru berpandu dan dron ke atas sasaran di negara Timur Tengah tersebut. "Regim Iran telah mula menyerang kita," pegawai itu dilaporkan memberitahu media berita Israel N12. "Kami akan balas." Perang boleh memberi kesan jangka panjang kepada pelancongan Terletak di atas lebih 60 hektar (142 ekar) dengan pemandangan Teluk Arab, Wynn Al Marjan Island telah dipasarkan sebagai "destinasi resort muktamad", dengan "bilik dan suite yang direka dengan mewah, pengalaman makanan yang cemerlang, butik pereka terkenal di dunia dan aktiviti yang merangkumi kawasan kolam renang yang luas, pantai peribadi dan marina air dalam". Semua ini akan menyasarkan pasaran sasaran Wynn: golongan kaya dan super kaya yang sudah lama menjadi pelanggan kepada hartanah-hartanah mereka di Las Vegas dan Macau. Pada bulan Disember lepas, dalam satu perkembangan penting, pasukan kerja telah menandakan penamatan binaan menara hotel 70 tingkat IR tersebut. Kini nampaknya tetamu mungkin perlu menunggu untuk mencuba penginapan ini, kerana Iran terus menyerang pelabuhan, lapangan terbang dan kawasan komersial EAB. Menurut Reuters, syarikat perunding Tourism Economics menyatakan bahawa kedatangan pelancong ke Timur Tengah boleh jatuh sebanyak 38 juta orang akibat konflik ini, dengan kerugian berpotensi sehingga $56 bilion. Selain itu, sebuah hotel baru yang sedang dibina di Dubai oleh pembuat lawak Wynn, MGM Resorts International, juga terancam. Walau bagaimanapun, sumber memberitahu Bloomberg bahawa projek MGM – yang juga menyasarkan lesen kasino – kekal mengikut jadual walaupun terdapat penurunan dalam jumlah pelawat. "Perdagangan pelancongan di rantau ini telah jatuh ke tahap sekitar 15%, lebih kurang," kata Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif MGM, Bill Hornbuckle, semasa panggilan keuntungan pada 29 April. "Ia akan memerlukan sedikit masa untuk pulih, tidak kira apa yang berlaku dalam beberapa bulan akan datang. Tetapi untuk jangka panjang, kami masih sangat bersemangat."

(AsiaGameHub) - Satu laporan baharu daripada Institut Dasar Penguatkuasaan Dadah Kanabis Universiti Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) menyatakan bahawa undi dadah kanabis di kumpulan kasino di Negeri Nevada itu mengurangkan pendapatan negara. Laporan tersebut juga mendapati bahawa peraturan ini telah mencipta pasaran dadah kanabis haram yang besar. Kajian oleh para penyelidik daripada UNLV, UC Davis dan Strategies 64 mengkuantiti impak ekonomi daripada tiga halangan penguatkuasaan utama serta meminta reformasi dasar untuk membaharui pendekatan negara terhadap masalah ini. Temuan Laporan itu mendapati bahawa sektor ritel dadah kanabis sah di negara itu kehilangan sekurang-kurangnya $540 juta dalam pendapatan pada tahun 2024 kerana tiga halangan utama: Undi dadah kanabis ke hotel dan hartanah kasino dilarang: Kehilangan sebanyak $210 juta. Jarak minimum 1,500 kaki antara premis dadah kanabis dan kawasan kasino di wilayah yang ramai: Menyebabkan eksklusi pasaran. Pelarasan pembiayaan, sewa atau hubungan operasi antara pemegang lesen kasino dan perniagaan dadah kanabis: Membatalkan potensi integrasi perniagaan. Faktor-faktor ini menyebabkan “sungai dadah kanabis” di kawasan pusat pelancong, terutamanya sepanjang Las Vegas Strip, yang merupakan lokasi yang menarik hampir 30 juta pelancong setiap tahun dan 69% daripada mereka tinggal di hotel Strip. Rujukan data baru-baru ini dari Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority mendapati 38.5 juta orang datang ke Las Vegas pada tahun 2025, dengan kejatuhan 7.5% berbanding tahun lepas. Sebanyak 89% daripada mereka telah menyewa hotel, iaitu peratusan terendah dalam lima tahun kebelakangan. Laporan itu menunjukkan bahawa para pelancong menghadapi perjalanan yang tidak mudah dan mahal untuk mencapai tempat penjualan dadah kanabis sah. Perjalanan kaki boleh mencapai 95 minit atau kereta giliran boleh dikenakan bayaran antara $30-$40, yang mendorong penggunaan sumber dadah kanabis haram. Oleh kerana itu, pendapatan cukai negara daripada dadah kanabis juga kurang sekitar $80 juta setahun. Pendapatan FY2024 sekitar $120 juta boleh meningkat ke arah $200 juta jika halangan semasa dibatal. Halangan Peraturan negeri dan peruntukan Clark County dilarang pengedar dadah kanabis menghantar produk ke hotel dan hartanah bertanda kasino, yang sangat menghalang akses bagi para pelancong. Di samping itu, di kawasan dengan populasi melebihi 100,000 orang, perniagaan dadah kanabis mesti berada sekurang-kurangnya 1,500 kaki dari premis kasino yang diluluskan. Di kawasan yang padat seperti Las Vegas, peraturan ini secara efektif melucuti premis ritel dadah kanabis dari lorong utama pelancongan. Selepas penerbitan memori daripada Lembaga Kawalan Kasino Nevada pada 2014, penguatkuasa kasino telah mengenakan dasar melarang pemegang lesen kasino untuk membiayai, menyewa atau menggunakan dadah kanabis di premis, kerana ada kebimbangan tentang kepatuhan penguatkuasaan dan risiko reputasi. Sejak itu, perubahan telah berlaku, dengan pihak berkuasa persekutuan biasanya bersedia untuk membenarkan operasi dadah kanabis yang patuh kepada negara dan kawasan seperti New Jersey serta bandar Kanada membenarkan pengintegrasian dadah kanabis dengan kasino. Reformasi Secara ekonomi, laporan menyebutkan peraturan ini menjadi “kos transaksi” yang mahal, menyebabkan “kebocoran” pendapatan daripada pasaran sah ke pasaran haram. Ia mengurangkan jualan dadah kanabis dan belanjawan sampingan ke dalam kasino dan kompleks resort. Laporan itu menggariskan dua reformasi utama – salah satunya ialah membenarkan penghantaran dadah kanabis ke hotel, tempat sewaan pendek dan hartanah bertanda kasino dengan mengubah peraturan kepatuhan dadah kanabis dan kod Clark County. Ia juga mencadangkan untuk membatalkan jarak 1,500 kaki di kawasan yang ramai serta mengemaskini panduan NGCB untuk membenarkan operator kasino untuk menyewa ruang kepada penjual dadah kanabis dan kawasan minum dadah kanabis. Ini akan termasuk kawasan minum dadah kanabis yang ditetapkan di premis. Pertanyaan jawapan dari 2025 mendapati 70% daripada dewasa Amerika Syarikat menyokong untuk membenarkan kawasan minum dadah kanabis di kasino dan 40% daripadanya akan lebih cenderung untuk datang ke kasino jika dadah kanabis tersedia.

(AsiaGameHub) - Lottomatica's online gaming segment continued to drive growth in the first quarter, helping the company achieve modest gains in gross gaming revenue (GGR) despite weaker results in sports betting. Italy.- The operator reported Q1 GGR of €1.25bn, a rise of 2 per cent year-on-year for the period ending 31 March. Profit rose 3 per cent to €602m, while adjusted EBITDA climbed 7 per cent to €236m. The online segment was the standout performer, with revenue rising 10 per cent year-on-year to €264.7m. This offset a 5 per cent drop in sports betting revenue, which fell to €142.4m. Although betting volumes grew by 11 per cent to €12.4bn, unfavourable payouts weighed on returns. The operator’s share of Italy’s online market rose by 1.4 points to 31.8 per cent. Its online sports betting share rose by 0.7 points to 32.5 per cent and its igaming share by 1.9 points to 32.2 per cent. As for the PlanetWin365 (PWO) brand, the rebranded SKS365, which Lottomatica bought for €639m in April 2024, its sports betting share recovered to 9 per cent, returning to pre-migration levels. PWO’s igaming share rose to 5.5 per cent, regaining half of the ground lost during the transition to Lottomatica’s proprietary platform. CEO and chairman Guglielmo Angelozzi highlighted the company’s position across its markets, stating that Lottomatica is on track to hit the upper end of its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance of €940–980m. He also confirmed plans to return up to €1bn to shareholders across 2026 and 2027. On the investor call, he also downplayed the threat posed by prediction markets, describing them as a “non-issue” due to their illegality in Italy and limited consumer demand. “The product-consumer mismatch continues to be strong. We don’t believe there is market space,” he said. This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

(AsiaGameHub) - The proposal passed the House in a 65-21 vote. US.- The Oklahoma Legislature has approved Senate Bill 1589, a measure that would ban online sweepstakes-style casinos. Sponsored by Senator Gollihare, the bill passed the House with a 65-21 vote after receiving unanimous support in the Senate in March. It is now headed to Governor Kevin Stitt for his consideration. The legislation expands the definition of gambling in Oklahoma to include "online casino games" accessible via computers, mobile phones, or tablets. Additionally, it updates the definition of a "representative of value" to account for dual-currency systems that can be redeemed for cash, prizes, or their cash equivalent. Under the proposed law, individuals who operate, conduct, or support such games—whether as operators, employees, geolocation providers, platform suppliers, promoters, or media affiliates—would face Class C2 felony charges, with fines ranging from $500 to $2,000. Oklahoma Senate rejects sports betting bill In April, the Oklahoma Senate voted down House Bill 1047, which sought to legalize sports betting in the state. The motion failed by a margin of 27-21. HB 1047, introduced by Representative Ken Luttrell and Senator Bill Coleman, aimed to permit tribes to offer both in-person and online sports betting under the State-Tribal Gaming Act of 2004, which grants tribes exclusive control over gaming operations. Although the bill had been approved by the House of Representatives, it did not advance further. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - Lawmakers are divided on which ministry should oversee gambling regulation in Ukraine. A Ukrainian legislator has cautioned that transferring responsibility for gambling regulation from the Ministry of Digital Transformation to the Ministry of Finance could introduce more complications than solutions. Nina Yuzhanina, a member of the European Solidarity party, opposes Draft Bill No. 15111-d, currently being drafted by the Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy. The proposed legislation is tied to Ukraine’s obligations to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which mandates the government to monitor and report on how digital revenues are taxed. However, Yuzhanina criticized committee chair Danylo Hetmantsev’s handling of the process, pointing out that deputies submitted 3,529 amendments prior to the bill’s second reading. Hetmantsev has publicly criticized the Ministry of Digital Transformation’s management of gambling regulation, especially its rollout of the new national gambling monitoring system for Ukraine. The platform, which supplies real-time data to the gambling regulator PlayCity, launched its initial phase in April and is anticipated to be fully functional by year-end. Nevertheless, Hetmantsev claims that delays may result in annual losses to the treasury of up to UAH 20 billion (€385 million). He maintains that the Ministry of Finance is better equipped to regulate gambling, which he describes as a crucial sector of Ukraine’s economy. Nonetheless, Hetmantsev has faced accusations of a conflict of interest due to previous connections with the gambling industry. Local media have reported that he once held shares in MSL, a lottery operator accused in 2015 of involvement in cross-border money laundering between Ukraine and Russia alongside another operator, Patriot. Mykhailo Aksyonov, Deputy Head of PlayCity’s Anti-Corruption Expert Group, has also voiced concerns about the proposed transfer of authority. In an interview with 24 Channel, he stated: “Regardless of who initiated this amendment and what the underlying motives are, the very concept of transferring powers at this time appears too high a risk. “If we proceed with shifting policymaking responsibilities from the Ministry of Digital Transformation to the Ministry of Finance—while simultaneously establishing a new regulatory body—the rollout of the state Online Monitoring System could be postponed by at least one year. And it is precisely this system that serves as the primary instrument ensuring the transparency of gambling operators’ activities.” Both MSL and PJSC Patriot were awarded new lottery contracts earlier this year; however, Patriot lost its license in late March, less than a month after receiving it. The revocation followed reports from the State Bureau of Investigation indicating that the company did not meet legal requirements regarding ownership. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) - The research challenges industry claims of severe economic fallout from the British Gambling Act review. UK.- The 2023 gambling white paper, High Stakes: Gambling Reform for the Digital Age, proposed a series of enhanced regulatory measures for gambling, including stake limits for online slots and the new mandatory gambling levy imposed a year ago. The document projected a cumulative impact on gross gambling yield to the tune of around £812m. A new study conducted by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) in collaboration with the University of Glasgow, examined the potential wider consequences of this impact to estimate the net economic impact of the reduced gambling expenditure. The team used surveys, behavioural experiments and input-output analysis. They conclude that while the gambling industry may face reduced revenue, the broader economy is likely to absorb the impact through redirected consumer spending, challenging claims of severe economic fallout. Gamblers’ redirection of spending A probability survey of 1,320 regular gamblers informed the design of a discrete choice experiment, in which 804 participants indicated how they would reallocate a hypothetical £50 monthly budget no longer spent on gambling. The results were then applied to UK input-output tables from 2022 to assess sectoral impacts. The findings showed that only around £134m, about 16 per cent of the projected gross reduction, would translate into a net loss in UK output once consumer spending shifts were taken into account. Most participants said they would redirect spending toward essentials such as food, drink, household items, and debt repayment. Lead author Katherine Simpson of the University of Glasgow explained: “We looked at how people who gamble say they would adjust their spending if these reforms were introduced, and then we modelled what that means for the wider economy. What we find is that most of the money doesn’t disappear, it’s redirected elsewhere, so the overall economic impact is relatively limited.” The study also explored behavioural patterns. While the experimental sample skewed younger and included a higher proportion of problem gamblers, spending reallocations were consistent across different levels of gambling severity. Concerns about unlicensed gambling were also addressed. Although 73 per cent of online gamblers said they would not divert spending to unregulated operators, 8.5 per cent consistently did so in the experiment. The researchers noted that if 8 per cent of spending shifted to unlicensed gambling, net losses would rise to £189m, while a 27 per cent diversion would push losses to £317m. The report highlighted that online gambling has weaker domestic economic multipliers due to offshore supply chains. A modest reduction in the assumed multiplier could even eliminate the net loss entirely, potentially resulting in a small net gain, researchers said. “no necessary trade-off” Adrian Pabst, deputy director of NIESR, argued that the findings show gambling reforms should not be seen as a threat to economic growth. “There is no necessary trade-off between enhanced regulation and greater economic growth,” he claimed. “Our work shows that the new gambling regulations will have a very small negative impact on the UK economy and that there are potential benefits in terms of people who gamble regularly saving more or redirecting their consumption to other sectors. Industry fears about a massive hit to economic activity are overstated and also ignore the wider social benefits of the regulatory changes.” This article is provided by a third-party.
