20. (Massachusetts) The Massachusetts Gaming Commission on Thursday took a small but significant step that could eventually lead to a fourth casino being constructed in the state. The regulatory body directed its staff to draw up documents soliciting information from experts and the public on questions including whether the market could support a full-service gambling facility in Southeastern Massachusetts, and whether such a decision would benefit the state. http://bit.ly/2Z9y15g

21. (Virginia) A company that operates gambling parlors with slot-like machines plans to raise wages of its employees to a minimum of $15 an hour. http://bit.ly/2s070oR

Koenig didn’t give a specific date for when the bill will first be heard but said he thinks it will be acted on quickly. http://bit.ly/35N3s7J

23. (Ohio) A grand jury in Ohio indicted 11 people in what federal prosecutors describe as a large-scale illegal gambling operation run through bookies that had clients place bets on a website based in Costa Rica. The indictment handed up Wednesday said bookies worked with clients to take bets and then used PremierPerHead.com to track and control the bets. http://bit.ly/2Q9r6ol

24. (Indiana) Indiana’s two racetrack casinos will begin offering live table games at the start of 2020. The Gaming Commission approved those new offerings this week. The racinos long asked the legislature to allow them to have live dealers for their table games, arguing they were more appealing to players than electronic games. http://bit.ly/2EFO6pZ

25. (Arkansas) The Arkansas Racing Commission will consider on Jan. 6 whether to issue a license for a casino in Pope County or whether to further hold off on that decision, commission attorney Byron Freeland announced at Thursday’s commission meeting. http://bit.ly/2PKvHOX

26. (Iowa) There are now five online sports betting operators in Iowa after Gaming Innovation Group (GIG) launched an online sportsbook with Hard Rock Sioux City. This isn’t the first launch between Gaming Innovation and a Hard Rock property. The platform is the same experience customers would get in New Jersey through Hard Rock Atlantic City’s online sportsbook. Hard Rock Sioux City is a branded property owned by Peninsula Pacific and Warner Gaming. http://bit.ly/2sVopif

27. (Michigan) Finishing touches are being done on the expansion of the Ojibwa Casino in Marquette in order to get the place set for Friday’s opening. Construction on the over $40 million expansion began a little over a year ago, with the project being a slightly ahead of schedule. http://bit.ly/2EDpv4W

28. (Las Vegas) The stage is set — literally — at the MSG Sphere at The Venetian. Workers on the entertainment venue project just east of the Sands Expo and Convention Center have poured the concrete foundation for a 4,000-square-foot stage that is clearly visible in photos captured by a camera mounted on a drone. http://bit.ly/2s061VF

Jacobs Entertainment bought the building in November 2017 for $2.1 million. http://bit.ly/2s0zXAQ

The panels, which go online in January, can generate 1,600 megawatt-hours of electricity, or 8% to 10% of the power needed by the $95 million resort casino.

But with a little more than three weeks left before lawmakers convene for the 2020 session, the most passionate legislative backers of bringing casinos and horse racing to the Peach State haven’t decided whether to add sports betting to the mix or whether to combine all of the gambling proposals into one package or tackle them separately. http://bit.ly/2QizQsv

Asia Gaming Brief: http://bit.ly/2Q6REXn

Yogonet's 10 most-read stories of 2019:
With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, Yogonet looked back on its top 10 success stories over the past 12 months. Acquisitions, openings, and exclusive interviews were among the topics chosen by Yogonet's readers.

1. Blackstone seeks to sell the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. http://bit.ly/2Msuh9B
The investment company, which bought the hotel and casino for USD 1.73 billion in 2014, announced in April it was working with Deutsche Bank AG and PJT Partners to solicit interest from potential buyers for the resort. The opportunity was expected to attract the attention of big Las Vegas operators, Asian firms, or US regional casino companies.

2. "FOX Bet is like nothing else the United States has ever seen". http://bit.ly/2PZbG7j
In one of Yogonet’s most prominent interviews of 2019, Robin Chhabra, chief executive of the company created as a partnership between The Stars Group and Fox Sports, said FOX Bet puts sports first and betting second, and that he finds similarities with Sky Bet's approach. In its first 8 weeks, free-to-play sports prediction game FOX Sports Super 6 app was downloaded more than 820,000 times, and had more than 7.5 million total contest entries. "We knew we were going to put entertainment first, with sports betting there to enhance that experience," he said.

3. "Hard Rock is focusing on expanding the regional and West Coast presence of the brand". http://bit.ly/37dBJgK
Ahead of the opening of the chain’s new property, the president of Hard Rock Sacramento at Fire Mountain told Yogonet their main goal was to be part of a 900-acre sports and entertainment zone in the area that would hopefully become a regional powerhouse and destination experience on the West Coast of the United States. Mark Birtha even spoke about their plans to plans to include a sports betting venue. "We are absolutely interested in having that amenity available in the future here — sports betting and internet gaming. We believe that having this in Northern California would create a strong partnership with the local sports environment and a great product for our clientele here at the property," Birtha explained.

4. "With the benefit of hindsight, Pala Interactive would never have entered New Jersey". http://bit.ly/2QjfGi0
Ahead of ICE North America—which took place in Boston across May 13-15—the CEO of the gambling arm of California’s Pala Band of Mission Indian Native American tribe spoke with Yogonet about regulatory changes in the industry, including the uncertainty around the Department of Justice’s (DoJ) reinterpretation of the Wire Act. Jim Ryan's concern, like that of many others in the industry, was that the present opinion could be interpreted in a way that shut down intra-state gaming. "Because intra-state gaming might not, but internet transactions do cross state lines," he explained.

5. UK gambling firms introduce AI-based 'cooling-off' technology in betting shops. http://bit.ly/35ZKo6u
The APAS real-time algorithm, introduced by the newly-formed Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) as part of Responsible Gambling Week in November, tracks a player’s behavior second by second looking for evidence of them chasing losses, playing erratically, speeding up or spending too long on the machine. If it finds risks, they are locked out of it for a “cooling off period” of at least 30 seconds while managers are alerted. Safer gambling warnings are immediately displayed on the machine’s screen.

6. MGM in talks to sell Circus Circus to Treasure Island owner Phil Ruffin. http://bit.ly/2PX3y7u
In September, it was announced that the gambling giant was holding talks to sell its Las Vegas property to real estate mogul Phil Ruffin. In October, both parties reached an agreement under which the property was sold for $825 million. Circus Circus, now more than 50 years old, was once a flagship property of publicly traded Circus Circus Enterprises. Last week, the Nevada Gaming Commission finally approved licensing for Ruffin.

7. "The 2005 Gambling Act is just not working and we need a new approach fit for the digital age" says outgoing Labour deputy leader Tom Watson. http://bit.ly/2spSG90
In an exclusive interview with Yogonet, the then MP Tom Watson spoke in detail about the current regulatory framework in the UK, the situation as regards remote license holders and consumer protection. He delved into the different policy proposals introduced by the Labour party with a view towards a new Gambling Act, which included a gambling ombudsman, affordability checks and a mandatory levy. "We need to have a new approach to legislation, and to do that quickly, we have to identify the things that we can achieve most realistically in a short time frame with the industry," he said. Tom Watson has now resigned as MP and deputy leader of the Labour party.

8. Resorts World Catskills' owner considers prepackaged bankruptcy. http://bit.ly/2QyHxer
In August, Empire Resorts reported a second-quarter 2019 loss of USD 35.96 million, due to gross gaming revenues below projections and overleverage. Gaming experts traced the casino’s problems to its location, far from New York City. At the time, Malaysian-Chinese casino magnate K.T. Lim, whose family trust Kien Huat Realty owns 86 percent of Empire, said he hoped to turnaround the situation by bringing more electronic gaming nearer the city, and Resorts World Catskills intended to introduce sports betting before NFL season began. The casino finally rolled out its ‘Sportsbook 360’ in September.

9. Isle of Man awards first blockchain sports betting license to RoBET. http://bit.ly/36b6K4Q
RoBET, a tech startup led by entrepreneur Edoardo Narduzzi, opened its activities offering the possibility to bet on 17 different sports worldwide and covering 47 different national soccer championships. Customers can use the platform with three different digital assets: RoBET own token RAC, Eth or Bitcoin. In October, the company became the first decentralized, blockchain-based sports betting business licensed by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC).

10. MGM Resorts discharges 254 managers. http://bit.ly/39iv2fA
The decision was a part of the Las Vegas-based casino firm's cost-cutting program released in April that whacked approximately 2,000 jobs from its labor force or about 3% of its 71,000 employees. The first phase of layoffs, which affected managers, not union workers, was aimed at slashing labor costs by USD 100 M.

Anybody know what the possible outcomes of this are? I can't seem to find much info about what would happen if Jan. 2nd comes and nobody has agreed on anything. It sounds like the casinos are going to continue business as usual. What are the governor's options if that happens? Take it to federal court?

I assume problem gamblers would volunteer for the program but you have a point: who knows how the tech will be used? I just invision some slot player pausing to chat with a friend or congratulate a neighbor getting a big hit only to find his machine has now locked up and casino management is on the way for a chat. Embarrassing for him and an endless headache for casino personnel. And you just know that if they don't show up to check on things and the gambler loses big, a lawsuit will be in the mail the next day.

CalvinAyre.com’s most read business stories of 2019
BY Derek Tonin ON December 26, 2019
2019 is almost ready to come to an end, and what better time for us to take a look back at the top stories. Here’s the five business stories that got the most attention from you, our readers.

1. SportPesa, Betin and Betway’s got in trouble wiht Kenya. http://bit.ly/2MtSFb9
Thanks to a new get tough stance from Kenya’s regulator, the Betting Control and Licensing Board, SportPesa, Betin and Betway got their licenses supsended in July. The operators were allegedly behind on their tax obligations and would have to settle up before they could resume operations.
The three in question here claimed they had little warning about this change in Kenyan attitude, but Kenya insisted that their licenses were a priveldge, and not a right.

2. SportPesa gets out of the Kenyan doghouse. http://bit.ly/2EX1eqH
Two long months after Kenya froze its license, SportPesa managed to clear everything up and finally resume operations. But it wasn’t easy. The operator tried to win the fight in court to not much success.
By September, SportPesa realized there wasn’t much sense in fighting when they could get more done by talking. After settling the issue with Kenya’s Revenue Authority, they were given back their license to operate and got back to work.

3. Bet365 sues Bulgarian copycat, starts whispers in Russia. http://bit.ly/2Q0tKy4
After hearing much about Betio’s Bulgarian gambling website from other industry leaders, Bet365 started to realize that the site might have been ripping them off. That just would not sit when Bet365 was legally licensed to offer in that country, and they filed an intellectual property infringement suit in February.
At the same time, rumors tarted to develop that Bet365 might be moving in to Russia. A marketing manager suggested that they might soon get a license, a rarity when the only other western firm to get one was Bwin.

4. William Hill pisses off two rugby punters. http://bit.ly/2Mz26Gq
When you place a long-shot bet, you expect to be paid if the thing comes true. Two rugby fans certainly expected this to be the case when they made a wager that the Salford Red Devils would finish in the top five of the Super League with an 8-1 record, and that Jackson Hastings would end up being the Man of Steel, an award given to the player of the season in the league.
Although allowing the wager in a retail shop, William Hill tried to back out of it, claiming a “related contingency.” They offered to pay the ticket out for $2,197, when it should have paid $30,241.
The customers have taken the matter up with the Independent Betting Adjudication Service.

5. Bet365 gets mixed up with the white stuff. http://bit.ly/37pdWLh
While rumored to be working on its potential Russian license, news of a Bet365 branded cocaine bust broke into the headlines in June.
Seized in St. Petersburg, 400 kilograms of cocaine from Ecuador was discovered with a Bet365 sticker on it, and “BET” engraved in the nose powder. The seizure of RUB4.5b ($69.5m) of blow likely had nothing at all to do with the operator, but it couldn’t have been a good story for them at the time.

Top 10 terms every poker player should know. http://bit.ly/2F5kvWZ
Like many other hobbies and professions, poker has its terminology.

You’ll often hear other players at the table use some of these terms, or you’ll find them in strategy and news articles.
Being familiar with some of the most important ones is quite useful as it can help you keep up with the conversation or make reading such articles easier.

Here, I will cover the top 10 poker terms you should know, without going into very simple and standard ones like raising or three-betting.
Having some “advanced” terms in your vocabulary when discussing poker will help you better explain all sorts of situations and understand other players. http://bit.ly/2F5kvWZ


10. String bet
A string bet is a commonly used poker term. It indicates a situation where a player doesn't properly put out their bet, and it only happens in live poker.

9. Angle shooting
Angle shooting is a broad poker term that relates to all actions performed by a player in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage over their opponents.

8. Limping
The term limping is used to describe a situation where the player decides to pay the big blind amount and call instead of raising.

7. Slow rolling
No matter what anyone tries to tell you, slow rolling isn’t cool. If you don’t know, a slow roll is when a player intentionally takes a long time to make the final decision in the hand or turn over their cards when they know they’re winning.

6. Bad beat
If you’ve been playing poker for a little while, you probably know what the bad beat is. However, a technical definition of this term is somewhat flexible.

5. Cooler
Like the bad beat, the cooler also involves some bad luck but in a different scenario. The term cooler in poker is used to describe a situation where both players can’t avoid putting all of their chips in the middle, although one of them has a much better hand.

4. Drawing dead
In Texas Hold’em, Omaha, and many other games, if you end up in an all-in scenario, you’ll usually have some outs to improve and win the pot.

3. Bubble
The bubble is probably one of the most painful poker terms out there. It is used to describe the last player to bust out of a tournament without making the money, while everyone else who is left to play is guaranteed a payday.

2. Tilting
Tilt is a term used to describe any situation where you lose control over your decisions because of emotions.

1. Nuts
In community card games, such as Hold’em and Omaha, you can know what the best possible combo someone can have at any given time is.

If the board runs 5 7 K J 9 with no flush possibilities, the best possible hand is Q10, giving you the straight to the King. This is known as the nuts, as having this hand means there is no way you can ever lose the pot.

Having the nuts and facing a lot of action in front of you is also one of the best feelings you’ll get to experience at the tables.

The Top Gaming Stories of 2019

No. 1 - Eldorado-Caesars $17.3B merger shakes up the industry
The combination of the two companies will create a regional gaming conglomerate with roughly 60 properties in 18 states. Eldorado’s management team will oversee the company, which will take on the Caesars name. Eldorado CEO Thomas Reeg committed to the combined operation reducing overall corporate costs by $500 million in the first year. Casino sales in markets that could cause Federal Trade Commission concern are expected. Eldorado has already sold two Missouri casinos and a West Virginia racetrack and has deals to sell a Kansas City casino and Mississippi property. Other casino sales could take place in Louisiana and Nevada, including the sale of a Las Vegas Strip resort. In November, shareholders from other companies approved the transaction. A long list of state regulatory signoffs is pending. http://bit.ly/2SHSUDu

No. 2 – Legal U.S. sports betting expands, creates partnerships
Eighteen months after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that states could legalize sports betting, 14 states now have the activity. 2020 will be just as busy. But legal sports betting created a lengthy list of business partnerships between the gaming industry, media companies, the major professional sports leagues, and individual teams. ESPN is building a studio on the Las Vegas Strip; William Hill US will operate a sportsbook at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C.; Yahoo Sports and MGM Resorts will partner in mobile sports betting. The list goes on. Just before Christmas, DraftKings announced plans to go public. With California voters expected to vote on competing sports betting referendums and other states introducing legal sports legislation, 2020 will continue to see sports gambling expand and flourish. http://bit.ly/2u8aWo5

No. 3 – DOJ reverses course on the Federal Wire Act
In January, the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel reinterpreted the Federal Wire Act that would revert the 1961 law to its original language and wipe out seven years of gaming technology advancements. The gaming industry didn’t stand still. The New Hampshire Lottery filed a federal lawsuit to block the action. The Department held off implementation until courts ruled. A federal judge set aside the Wire Act opinion, which was appealed the First Circuit Court by the Justice Department. Just before Christmas, the department filed its first briefs in the case. The matter will drag out into next year and many experts believe the Wire Act interpretation will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. http://bit.ly/2th9OOs

No. 4 – MGM Resorts International equals headlines
MGM Resorts had a few issues in 2019. Activist investors wanted changes in the company’s financial structure. The implementation of MGM 2020 – a retooling of how the casino giant does business – included layoffs of more than 1,000 employees and the retirements of key executives. Two years after the October 1, 2017 shooting – the largest mass shooting event in U.S. history – the company said it would settle litigation, paying between $735 million and $800 million to more than 4,400 individuals and families. In October, the company sold Circus Circus Las Vegas to Phil Ruffin and completed a $4.25 billion sale/leaseback of Bellagio. “It’s been a difficult year,” said MGM CEO Jim Murren. “We have tried to accomplish a lot, and I believe this puts us to where I think we need to be as a company.” http://bit.ly/2QylEfe

No. 5 - Japan expansion slows
Japan has been the casino industry’s dream location, with estimates of upward of $25 billion in annual revenue. Interest, however, has waned somewhat in the 17 months since the country’s lawmakers officially approved three integrated resorts. An RFP for Osaka is expected in 2020. MGM Resorts is committed to Osaka, while Wynn Resorts has eyes on Tokyo. Caesar Entertainment dropped out of the Japan process and Las Vegas Sands has seemingly cooled on the market, with company leaders expressing concern of the rate of return on a $10 billion-to-$12 billion investment. http://bit.ly/36eSM2a

No. 6 - Encore Boston Harbor opens
Wynn Resorts' $2.6 billion Encore Boston Harbor opened in June, 16 months after Steve Wynn unceremoniously departed the company and a few months after Nevada and Massachusetts hit the casino company with $55 million in fines and penalties for failing to investigate sexual harassment changes against the former CEO. In October, Encore changed out its president. http://bit.ly/2ZCmUSC

No. 7 - Macau revenue declines for the first time since 2016
By Jan. 1, we’ll know the severity of Macau’s first gaming revenue drop since 2016. After November, Macau was down 2.4% from 2018 and matching the year’s overall total of $37.6 billion was doubtful. The China-U.S. trade war and protests in nearby Hong Kong were factors in the decline. Macau recorded two consecutive years of gaming revenue increases in 2017 and 2018, which followed a prolonged slump of three years. http://bit.ly/39xmpOm

No. 8 – Las Vegas Strip is evolving
The Strip hasn’t seen an all new mega-resort opening in 10 years. That will go to 11. The $4.3 billion Resorts World Las Vegas will open sometime in 2021, following the opening of a $1.2 billion expansion of the Las Vegas Convention Center. But the Strip still saw a notable change this year when the SLS Las Vegas returned to its original name – Sahara. 2020 will still have a significant new project the $2 billion Allegiant Stadium, home of the relocated Las Vegas Raiders, is unveiled next August. Downtown Las Vegas will see its first new resorts since 1980 when Circa opens in December. http://bit.ly/39pUJuy

No. 9 - Oklahoma governor, tribal casinos at an impasse
A dispute over fees and gaming compacts threatened the nation’s second largest Indian casino market. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt wants the state's tribal casinos to pay more in exclusivity fees to utilize certain slot machines. Added to that is his belief that tribal compacts expire Jan. 1. The tribes said the compacts automatically renew on New Year's Day and the exclusivity fees are high enough. Stitt extended the talks through the spring, leaving the disputed compacts in place. http://bit.ly/2QxVBVr

No. 10 – Illinois’ massive gaming expansion
In June, Illinois approved the nation’s largest gaming industry expansion to an existing market in more than a decade – six new casinos, including one in Chicago, legalized sports betting, and expanded video lottery locations. The measure was championed by Governor J.B. Pritzker. All told, the state could add 30,000 more slot machines. But hiccups soon surfaced. A study by Union Gaming Group found the Chicago casino would be a money loser based on the current tax structure. Sports betting regulations were still being written, and smaller cities were sorting through sites for the new casinos. http://bit.ly/359asuN

7. Optimism over growth, some wariness in Atlantic City in 2020
New Jersey (Atlantic City) - Wayne Parry, Associated Press - Atlantic City heads into 2020 with some optimism, buoyed by an expanded casino market with more jobs and more revenue. But there is also some concern over whether all nine casinos will make it to the finish line of 2020, and whether nearby states will eat into Atlantic City’s main strengths right now: online gambling and sports betting. Largely because of the two additional casinos, Atlantic City’s in-person casino winnings at brick-and-mortar casinos were up 7.7% from January through November, to $2.4 billion. Adding internet gambling and sports betting money, the total rises to over $3 billion over that same period. http://bit.ly/36fkGLk

Table games yielded $38.5 million in gross revenue for Rivers in that period and poker tables yielded just $4.7 million. http://bit.ly/39AROiz

10. New Hampshire becomes latest state to offer sports betting
New Hampshire (sports) - Michael Casey, Associated Press - New Hampshire became the second New England state to offer sports betting on Monday, with Republican Gov. Chris Sununu placing the first bet on the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl.

11. Maryland Has New Sports Betting Bill; Senator Optimistic For 2020
Maryland (sports) - Matthew Waters, Legal Sports Report - There’s likely enough appetite to get sports betting passed through Maryland‘s legislature this year and approved by voters, according to one state senator. Sen. Chris West prefiled SB 58, which would allow horse tracks and casinos to offer sports betting. The bill does not include online or mobile betting, which West cautioned against. http://bit.ly/2MQlIpl

14. Casinos’ revenues were down in fiscal 2019, annual reports show
Connecticut (Indian gaming) - Brian Hallenbeck, New London Day - Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun experienced declines in net revenues in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2019…Mohegan Sun’s net revenues for the fiscal year were $992 million, down 7.2 percent. Its parent, Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, which also owns and/or operates casinos around the country and in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, had overall net revenues of $1.39 billion, a 2.4 percent increase. Foxwoods’ net revenues were $787.8 million, down 5 percent. http://bit.ly/2QibyjD

15. Three tribes in Oklahoma sue governor over casino gambling
Oklahoma (Indian gaming) - Sean Murphy, Associated Press - Three of the most powerful tribes in Oklahoma filed a federal lawsuit against the state’s governor on Tuesday, asking the court to help resolve a dispute over gambling at tribal casinos.

Oklahoma (Indian gaming) - Indianz - The following is a statement from John Berrey, Chairman of the Quapaw Nation, in connection with the Cherokee Nation v. Stitt litigation…Indian tribes and their gaming operations are important to Oklahoma — particularly to the many communities where they have created futures for Oklahomans where none existed before. We deserve to be treated with respect and as contributors to Oklahoma’s future. The tribes have a memory of many agreements that were made with them but not honored. We expect Governor Stitt to honor the agreement the state made with the tribes, the Compact. http://bit.ly/36jOjer
