Another Romanian City Bans Slot Machines

(AsiaGameHub) - Local officials in Bacău have passed a measure to ban land-based gambling operations. Romania.- A further Romanian municipality has taken steps to restrict slot machines. In a council session held today (April 1), representatives in Bacău voted to outlaw gambling in physical establishments. The motion received support from 19 of the 22 councillors in attendance. The ruling dictates that no additional gambling parlours or slot machine sites will be allowed to open within the city. For current operators, the ban will take effect once their existing licences expire. Those who continue to provide gambling services beyond their licence term face penalties ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 lei (€750 to €980) for each violation. This action was taken following the introduction of new laws that empower Romanian municipalities to oversee gaming venues. Mayors in various cities have indicated their intention to pursue similar bans, following Slatina’s move last month to become the first city to prohibit gambling halls and sports betting, provided they can secure the backing of their local councils. Bacău mayor Lucian Daniel Stanciu-Viziteu described the vote as a “huge step” for the city. In a statement on Facebook, he noted: “We succeeded! Physical gambling activities are now banned within the municipality of Bacău. This is a significant milestone for our community, demonstrating our commitment to a healthy future for Bacău. I am grateful to the local councillors who acted with responsibility today and supported my proposal to phase out these operations in the city.” He emphasised that the closures will occur incrementally as current authorisations lapse, allowing staff members a period to seek new employment.

FanDuel Gains Michigan Approval to Launch Multi-State Online Poker

(AsiaGameHub) - The firm has been granted approval to offer multi-state online poker services in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. United States – The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has announced that FanDuel is now authorized to provide multi-state online poker in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey starting today (April 1). The operator’s new poker platform will leverage Flutter’s PokerStars brand in Michigan, with MotorCity Casino serving as its operational partner. The regulator stated: “Following a comprehensive review, the MGCB determined that FanDuel meets all Michigan regulatory requirements to operate multi-state internet poker.” It added that the operator’s approval reinforces the MGCB’s commitment to enabling legal, regulated gaming opportunities while upholding responsible gaming practices and ensuring the industry’s integrity. MGCB executive director Henry Williams said: “FanDuel is a well-established operator in Michigan’s gaming market. Michigan players can have confidence in the integrity of the games they play, backed by the same rigorous oversight the MGCB applies across all licensed gaming activities.” Michigan joined the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) in 2022. The other states in the agreement are Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Before joining MSIGA, Michigan poker players could only play online against other players within the state. This article is provided by a third-party.

Gibraltar grants license to first prediction markets operator in a potentially controversial move

(AsiaGameHub) - The Gibraltar prediction market licence emerges as other European regulators consider prohibiting such platforms. Gibraltar.- The government of Gibraltar has announced the issuance of a licence to a prediction markets operator, positioning itself as one of the few European jurisdictions to regulate this type of platform. Minister for Justice, Trade, and Industry, Nigel Feetham, shared this development in Parliament, framing it as a component of Gibraltar’s strategy to broaden its gambling and financial services offerings. “We have granted a licence to a new company operating in the ‘prediction markets’ sector, processing the application in record time following my attendance at Consensus Hong Kong last month,” he stated, referring to CoinDesk’s annual conference focused on crypto, blockchain, and Web3. While the government did not initially reveal the operator's name, Predict Street Ltd is now listed on Gibraltar’s register of licensed betting intermediaries. The company advertises itself as the “Official Prediction Market Partner of the FIFA World Cup 2026” and is currently allowing users to sign up for early access by providing their personal information. Abu Dhabi-based blockchain provider ADI Chain is reportedly supplying the platform's technology. Gibraltar's lawmakers have been assessing methods to safeguard the territory's finances in anticipation of the anticipated impact on the igaming sector from the increased UK Remote Gaming Tax, which takes effect today. Feetham directly linked this to his address in Parliament, explaining that the licence for a prediction markets platform was intended to compensate for potential losses from the rise in gambling duty while simultaneously reinforcing Gibraltar’s local economy. “We are working relentlessly to protect Gibraltar’s economic interests,” he affirmed. However, the decision to license a prediction platform in Gibraltar could lead to controversy with other European nations. Prediction markets, which enable users to wager on the outcomes of real-world events, have seen a surge in popularity as both speculative instruments and engagement tools. Globally, they have faced debate regarding their classification as either gambling or financial services. Numerous EU countries, including Germany, The Netherlands, Romania, France, and Portugal, have explicitly banned certain platforms, such as Polymarket. Concurrently, the British Gambling Commission has taken the stance that prediction markets would be considered gambling under UK legislation, thus requiring a licence from the regulator. Gibraltar's action follows closely after confirmation of efforts to evaluate the potential regulation of prediction platforms in Malta, another significant hub for online gambling in Europe. Economy Minister Silvio Schembri indicated that the country was considering the establishment of a dedicated regulatory framework for the sector to address the question of whether the format should be classified as gambling or financial. He characterized the sector as having strong global momentum and considerable potential for innovation. Prediction markets have achieved their greatest traction in the US, where betting is restricted to sports and not permitted in all states. In the US, prediction markets are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which categorizes them as offering “event contracts.” Nevertheless, several states have enacted or are considering legislation to ban the sector, and a bipartisan Senate bill aims to prohibit sports betting on online prediction markets at the federal level. What next for prediction markets in Gibraltar? It remains to be seen whether major players like Kalshi or Polymarket will pursue Gibraltar’s licensing opportunities for prediction markets, or if the territory’s existing igaming operators might expand into the sector. FanDuel and DraftKings have already launched prediction platforms in the US, while UK-based Matchbook announced intentions to do so last year. The primary market for Gibraltar-licensed gambling operators is Britain, and it has been suggested that the UK is less appealing for prediction platforms compared to the US and some other European countries because traditional betting operators already offer wagers on a wide variety of non-sports markets, including political events. The Gambling Commission’s recent clarification implies that it would likely pursue enforcement action if a Gibraltar-licensed operator attempted to target the UK without also obtaining a British gambling licence. Meanwhile, Gibraltar has licensed Predict Street Ltd under its existing gambling legislation, the 2005 Gambling Act, which suggests the operator's acceptance that its product is gambling rather than a financial service.

Alberta set to launch regulated igaming market on July 13

(AsiaGameHub) - The market’s opening date has been confirmed in a letter from Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Dale Nally. Alberta will see the launch of regulated online sports betting and igaming on July 13. It will be the second province in Canada to have a commercial online gambling market, following Ontario, which launched its igaming market in April 2022. The opening date was confirmed in a letter from the Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction, Dale Nally, to industry stakeholders. Nally stated: “The launch of a regulated igaming market is an exciting chapter for our province, and I am confident that we can work together to build a market that is both competitive and socially responsible. Alberta’s future in igaming is bright, and, with your partnership, we will ensure it is a success for everyone.” Alberta began accepting igaming registrations for operators and service providers in January, following the approval of amendments to the Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Regulation. Applicants are required to register with the AGLC for regulatory oversight before engaging with the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) to finalize commercial contracts. The process also mandates integration with the AGLC’s centralized self-exclusion program. The registration deadline is also July 13. In a LinkedIn post, the Canadian Gaming Association (CGA) extended congratulations to the Government of Alberta, AGLC, AiGC, and the Honourable Dale Nally on the announcement of the launch date for Alberta’s igaming market, scheduled for July 13, 2026. The CGA commended their commitment to prioritizing player protection and implementing robust regulatory standards to ensure a safe market environment. During its first year of regulated igaming, Ontario's market generated CAD$35.6 billion ($26.5 billion) in wagers and $1.4 billion in gaming revenue. In February 2026, wagers in the province reached CA$8.73 billion, marking a 23 percent increase year-over-year. Non-adjusted gross gaming revenue (NAGGR) stood at CA$342.4 million.

2026 Masters Betting Guide: Odds, Expert Predictions & Top Picks

(AsiaGameHub) - The year’s first golf major is here, as The Masters gets underway next week at Augusta National. Rory McIlroy is the defending champion, having completed his career grand slam last year. DraftKings Odds for The Masters Take a look at the odds for top contenders to win The Masters at DraftKings: Scottie Scheffler +405 Jon Rahm +850 Rory McIlroy +1000 Bryson DeChambeau +1075 Xander Schauffele +1800 Ludvig Aberg +2000 Cameron Young +2350 Tommy Fleetwood +2500 Matt Fitzpatrick +2600 Collin Morikawa +3100 Justin Rose +3600 Jordan Spieth +3800 Brooks Koepka +3800 Hideki Matsuyama +3900 Russell Henley +4200 Chris Gotterup +4300 Patrick Reed +4400 Robert MacIntyre +4600 Viktor Hovland +4600 Si Woo Kim +4700 Min Woo Lee +5400 Justin Thomas +5500 Patrick Cantlay +5700 Adam Scott +6200 Akshay Bhatia +6500 Sepp Straka +6700 Jason Day +6800 Tyrrell Hatton +6800 Jake Knapp +6900 Shane Lowry +7000 Scottie Scheffler, as usual, is the betting favorite. He’s aiming for his third green jacket after winning in 2022 and 2024. Top Picks for the 2026 Masters Champion Favorite Pick: Ludvig Aberg (+2000) Ludvig Aberg is competing in The Masters for the third time. The skilled Swede made a splash at Augusta National in his 2024 debut, finishing as runner-up. Last year, Aberg was tied for the lead with McIlroy and Justin Rose late in Sunday’s final round. Regrettably, he bogeyed the 17th hole and suffered a triple bogey on the 8th, dropping to seventh place by the end. The question isn’t whether Aberg will win The Masters, but when and how many times. We’re optimistic about his chances this year, given his tied-for-third finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and tied-for-fifth at The Players Championship. Sleeper Pick: Russell Henley (+4200) Russell Henley is still chasing his first major title, but he’s on the cusp of a breakthrough. The Georgia native finished tied for fourth at the 2023 Masters—his best result in a major tournament to date. He also notched a solo fifth-place finish at the 2024 Open Championship and a tied-for-seventh at the US Open that same year. Henley earned his fifth PGA Tour win at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational earlier this year. If he finds himself in contention again on Sunday, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him wearing a green jacket. Photo by Kris Johnson Longshot Pick: Adam Scott (+6200) Do you remember Justin Rose at Augusta National last year? Only McIlroy’s inspired playoff performance kept him from claiming the green jacket. Adam Scott could be this year’s version of Rose—he won The Masters in 2013 and was runner-up in 2011. At 45, both players are still playing some of the best golf of their careers. Scott is making his 25th career start at The Masters, with five top-10 finishes at Augusta National under his belt. With his long drives and deft touch on the greens, Scott has the game to win here again. His recent form includes a fourth-place finish at Riviera and a tied-for-11th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. This article is provided by a third-party.

Macao Police Arrest Alleged Gambling Fraudster from China

(AsiaGameHub) - Authorities in Macao have taken a self-proclaimed Chinese gambling expert into custody following an inquiry into suspected embezzlement and fraud. While investigators withheld the individual's name, TDM, a Macao media outlet, reported that the suspect is a 31-year-old man from Mainland China. According to police, the individual swindled a middle-aged woman out of roughly 255,000 patacas (nearly $32,000) by offering to instruct her in gambling techniques. Law enforcement noted that the "guru" first encountered the woman last November and scheduled a gambling trip to Macao shortly thereafter. To establish credibility regarding his supposed expertise, the man reportedly showed the victim a WeChat Pay balance totaling 1.8 million yuan (exceeding $260,400) on multiple occasions before they began gambling, police said. Upon arriving in Macao, the pair met near the Hengqin Port checkpoint and reportedly visited two local casinos. A government building located in Macao's Hengqin Port district. (Image: Enviro2800 [CC BY-SA 4.0]) Gambling Expert Apprehended at Border Crossing Officials stated that the man secured two loans from the victim under the guise of demonstrating his gambling prowess. His reputation as a skilled player was quickly debunked when he proceeded to lose the majority of the borrowed funds, police noted. The suspect allegedly told the woman he was unable to pay her back immediately, citing daily transfer restrictions on the electronic payment platform. The man subsequently fled the scene and attempted to return to the mainland, but was intercepted and arrested at a border checkpoint on March 24. During the ensuing interrogation, investigators determined that his claims of possessing over $260,000 in his digital accounts were entirely fabricated. Police concluded that the suspect lacked the necessary funds to reimburse the victim for the borrowed money. Ongoing Enforcement Efforts Macao law enforcement is maintaining its push against crimes linked to the gaming industry. On March 30, the Judiciary Police announced the arrest of a 32-year-old Mainland Chinese national at Macao International Airport. This individual, along with a suspected partner, is accused of tricking an unauthorized currency exchanger out of casino chips valued at more than $2,760. The woman who was targeted in the scam will also face charges for her involvement in an illicit currency exchange ring, according to police. Authorities observed that unregulated currency exchange activities are prevalent in the vicinity of Macao's casinos. Earlier in January, the Public Security Police Department detained a man suspected of conducting thousands of dollars worth of unauthorized currency trades involving Hong Kong and Mainland Chinese tender near major gaming venues.

DraftKings Extends Horse Racing Product to Three More US States

(AsiaGameHub) - The company has expanded DraftKings Racing to Delaware, New Mexico and Rhode Island. US.- DraftKings Racing has been expanded to Delaware, New Mexico, and Rhode Island, making pari-mutuel wagering in the operator’s sportsbook app now available in 26 US states. The move makes a transition from the DK Horse horse racing app, which was offered as an affiliate of Churchill Downs’ TwinSpires. While available within the DraftKings Sportsbook app, DraftKings Racing operates under separate regulatory frameworks hence the state-by-state roll out. Johnny Avello, director of race and sports operations at DraftKings, said: “With Triple Crown season approaching, we’re bringing DraftKings Racing to three new states at the perfect time to deliver an unmatched horse racing experience. By offering horse racing directly within the DraftKings Sportsbook app, we’re making it more convenient for customers to enjoy racing alongside their other favourite sports — all in one place, with one wallet and a more streamlined experience.” DraftKings recently announced that the Arkansas Racing Commission approved the company for a licence. The company will launch its online sportsbook in a market access agreement with Southland Casino Hotel, pending final regulatory approvals. This article is provided by a third-party.

Belgian gambling industry reports revenue decline, reversing growth trend

(AsiaGameHub) - Belated figures indicate that gambling revenue fell in 2024, marking an end to three consecutive years of strong expansion. Belgium.- According to the Belgian Gambling Commission, the nation's regulated gambling market contracted in 2024 for the first time since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The delayed publication of this data, attributed to staff shortages, reveals a reversal following a 60 per cent surge in online gross gambling revenue from 2020 to 2023. Figures from the regulator indicate that the total gross gaming revenue (GGR) from licensed operators fell by 4.86 per cent year-on-year in 2024 to €1.61bn. This downturn was primarily caused by a softer performance from physical gambling locations, although online gambling also experienced a decrease. Online gambling accounted for 57.1 per cent of total revenue but declined by 2.7 per cent year-on-year to €919.1m. Revenue from land-based gambling stood at €690.41m, a drop of 7.59 per cent. Breaking down the sectors, casino revenue increased by 7.32 per cent to €638.4m, with online casinos responsible for roughly three-quarters of this amount. Conversely, revenue from slot machines dropped 11.95 per cent to €384.75m, propelled by a sharp 23.8 per cent fall in online activity, even as physical slot revenue rose 4.24 per cent. Regarding sports betting, revenue decreased by 6.59 per cent to €364.3m. Offline betting revenue fell 13.58 per cent, a predictable outcome given the reduction in retail betting licences from 535 to 408. Online betting revenue also declined, dipping by 2.11 per cent. Reduced betting on horse racing and niche markets further contributed to the weaker performance. Low-stakes gaming revenue fell by 21.71 per cent to €222m, with café bingo revenue down 24.7 per cent. Online gambling maintained its position as the primary revenue source, a trend solidified during the pandemic. It is significant, however, that multiple online segments registered revenue declines. The Belgian gambling authority suggested these results could stem from a suite of regulatory measures enacted in 2023. The country started forbidding operators from offering games under multiple licence types on one website. This impacted demand for online slots, which were formerly available on sports betting platforms. In addition, the legal gambling age in Belgium was increased from 18 to 21, and a prohibition on gambling advertisements took effect from July 1, 2023. This article is provided by a third-party.

Former Caesars Employee Sues Casino, Claims Racial Discrimination Led to Dismissal

(AsiaGameHub) - A former Caesars Palace staff member has filed a lawsuit against the casino, claiming his race was the primary reason for his firing. Felton Davis, who is African-American, worked at the Las Vegas-based Caesars Palace hotel and casino for 13 years, spanning from May 2012 through October 2025. The casino suspended and subsequently fired him last year, citing claims that he was taking “unlimited breaks.” Other Staff Members Spared Disciplinary Action The lawsuit notes that Davis refutes these claims. It further argues that even if Davis had taken breaks, his colleagues were doing the same. “Davis’s coworkers, Melissa Mara and Jason Lee, participated in identical or comparable overtime habits but faced no suspension, disciplinary measures, or termination,” the complaint alleges. Furthermore, the filing mentions that his suspension stemmed from “a shift during which his colleague Melissa Mara departed early, while Davis remained to clean and restock his mobile bar.” HR Refuses to Show Camera Footage During a disciplinary meeting, Human Resources representative Anna Gutierrez claimed she had observed Davis taking unauthorized breaks. When Davis requested to view the surveillance footage, she denied the request. The lawsuit asserts that this refusal serves as evidence that the grounds for his termination were manufactured and that the decision was actually racially motivated. Although Davis was the most senior of the three employees, the lawsuit does not identify this as a factor in his firing. Instead, it contends, “There was no valid business justification for firing Davis while keeping less senior staff members who participated in the same behavior.” “Caesars engaged in intentional racial discrimination against Davis by firing him while keeping non-African American employees in similar positions who performed the same actions,” the complaint states. Another Casino Employee Alleges Racial Discrimination A comparable legal action was initiated in Pennsylvania this past February. In that instance, however, the plaintiff alleged he was “repeatedly demeaned for being white.” Similar to Davis, that employee alleged that Mount Airy Casino fabricated claims to orchestrate his termination. Both individuals have since secured new jobs. Nevertheless, Davis is pursuing damages from Caesars, noting that his current position as a security guard at Allegiant Stadium “does not offer the same level of pay or benefits he earned at Caesars.” Beyond the financial impact of his termination, he asserts that the firing has resulted in “emotional distress, mental anguish, and physical symptoms, including migraine headaches.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Dutch gambling authority addresses operator accused of violating sports sponsorship advertising ban

(AsiaGameHub) - The operator of JACKS.NL has been found in breach of the prohibition against advertising through sports sponsorships. The Netherlands.- The Dutch gambling authority, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has reprimanded JOI Gaming Limited, which runs JACKS.NL, for a breach of the national ban on untargeted advertising. This occurred after the logo for Jack's Casino's land-based venues was shown on the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) website alongside a hyperlink directing users to the JACKS.NL site. Although promoting land-based gambling is allowed under specific circumstances, the KSA stated that the presence of the link amounted to untargeted advertising for online gambling services. A prohibition on sports sponsorship by online gambling operators has been active in the Netherlands since July 1, 2025. This measure forms part of a wider ban on untargeted advertising for remote gambling, which was implemented two years prior. The objective is to offer improved protection for vulnerable individuals, including young adults and those exhibiting risky gambling habits, from gambling advertisements. The KSA acted upon a report that the Jack's Casino logo was visible on the PDC.tv website and included a link to JACKS.NL. The regulator confirmed that while the logo display alone was not a violation, the hyperlink to the website featuring online gambling services was. The regulator reported that it contacted JACKS.NL concerning the infringement and that the website link was promptly taken down. "The KSA emphasises that licence holders are responsible for complying with laws and regulations regarding gambling advertising," the regulator stated. "The regulator checks whether providers adhere to these rules and deploys the most effective intervention to ensure a fair and safe gambling offering." Separately this week, the KSA has also distributed a general warning to licensed sports betting operators, reminding them of the boundaries of their licences. Its supervisory activities identified that several providers were offering wagers that did not qualify under the licensed sports betting category. Examples of these offerings included bets on award competitions, like a Most Valuable Player (MVP) prize. The KSA said it has contacted the relevant licence holders, and these bet types were removed without delay. This article is provided by a third-party.

Florida Continues Crackdown on Illegal Gambling as Disgraced Sheriff Faces Court

(AsiaGameHub) - The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office executed a raid on an illicit gaming arcade, confiscating 66 slot machines and taking two people into custody. Amid ongoing crackdowns across Florida, former Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez made a court appearance regarding allegations of aiding illegal gambling operations in the state. Authorities from the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office reported the Monday arrests of Mohamed Belyaqout and Mabielka C. Cumbrera. Officials state the pair face charges for operating a gambling house and possessing slot machines. Belyaqout was apprehended at Slot 24/7 on 5709 S. Beneva Road in Sarasota. In addition to the slot machines, an undisclosed sum of money was seized. The business had been served a cease-and-desist order by the sheriff's office the previous year, which it disregarded. “Our collaboration with the FGCC will persist to ensure these unlawful gambling operations are held responsible and closed,” stated Sheriff Hoffman. The Florida Gaming Control Commission (FGCC) maintains its vigorous campaign against unlawful gaming statewide. Last month, the agency headed Operation Reel of Fortune, which saw the confiscation of 625 slot machines and more than $350,000 in cash. Patrons Allege Harassment From Staff The establishment seems to have been running for a period, though under different identities. The address is listed on Google as The Spot Social Club. Google reviews from as far back as two years allege harassment by staff during gameplay. One reviewer stated she spent between $200 and $500 daily at the arcade before employees told her to leave for “touching the machines on the screens and tapping them softly.” She claims the owner brought on a new employee who consistently harassed patrons. The review further noted, “This man is very controlling about how he prefers to instruct people on playing and spending their money.” A different user lamented being “Kicked out for playing a machine that was left unattended.” It is unknown whether management has shifted since these reviews were posted two years ago. The fight against illegal gaming in Florida has been likened to a game of whac-a-mole, with operations often resurfacing at the same addresses under fresh names. Sheriff Lopez Appears in Court As an illustration, Hot Seats, a venue closed during the operation that resulted in Sheriff Lopez's arrest, promptly resumed business. It was targeted again in a January raid. Lopez is alleged to have enabled an illegal gambling scheme that produced up to $21 million. He appeared in court on Tuesday for the first time since being released on bail last year. Two witnesses for the state, Kyle Henry and Douglas Ford, were questioned. Ford, once a driver for Lopez, allegedly “winked at the former Sheriff Tuesday before testifying.” Lopez Faces Charges as Others Agree to Plea Deals Ford testified that he and Henry served as a “protection detail” for the illegal gambling enterprises. He was arrested on separate charges in 2024, accused of hacking into the criminal justice academy’s camera system to surveil his girlfriend. He accepted a plea deal in that matter, resulting in an initial 24-month probation sentence, which was subsequently dismissed. Whether this deal required testimony against Lopez remains uncertain. Henry, for his part, was arrested last year on charges of unauthorized access to an electronic device. His case is still open. It is also not clear if he has arranged a deal to serve as a witness. Five other individuals have accepted plea agreements in the case, among them Lopez's estranged wife, Robin Lopez. She likewise received a 24-month probation sentence. The ex-Sheriff is now the sole defendant. Prosecutors claim Lopez personally obtained between $600,000 and $700,000 in cash from the illegal gambling profits. He has entered a plea of not guilty. Florida legislators have put forward tighter rules for gaming centers intended to bolster the FGCC's efforts against such businesses. SB1580 appeared to be advancing, having passed the Senate and then the House with changes. Yet, the Senate did not have sufficient time to reconsider the revised bill, causing it to expire last month. This article is provided by a third-party.

Arizona tribal gaming contributions to benefits fund rise in Q3

(AsiaGameHub) - Contributions rose by 8.3 percent relative to the same quarter in 2025. US.- The Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) has reported $33.4m in tribal gaming contributions for the Arizona Benefits Fund during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. This figure marks an 8.3 percent rise compared to the corresponding quarter in 2025. Eighty-eight percent of all tribal gaming contributions are allocated to the Arizona Benefits Fund. The ADG, in collaboration with Arizona tribes, oversees the 26 Class III casinos currently operating within the state. Third-quarter allocations included $16.7m for the Instructional Improvement Fund/Education, $8.3m for the Trauma and Emergency Services Fund, and $3m for Arizona Department of Gaming Operating Costs. Additional, smaller sums were directed to the Arizona Wildlife Conservation Fund, Tourism Fund, and Problem Gambling Education, treatment, and prevention. Cumulative contributions have reached a total of $2.5bn since 2004. Jackie Johnson, director of the ADG, stated: “Tribal gaming contributions provide critical support for state and local initiatives that help keep communities across Arizona safe, strong, and thriving. With $33.4m contributed in the latest period, the Department continues to be a steward of these funds that support emergency services, education, wildlife conservation, and more.” Arizona Department of Gaming promotes self-exclusion programme The ADG has also launched new public service announcements, featuring Take Back the Game, a digital, TV, and radio campaign designed to increase awareness of the state's self-exclusion programme.

Tennessee Bans Swept Games, Maryland Hosts Session

(AsiaGameHub) - Legislators in Tennessee and Maryland have been reviewing bills this week aimed at explicitly prohibiting sweepstakes casinos. In Tennessee, a House committee has greenlit a bill that will now advance to a final committee before a full chamber vote. Meanwhile, in Maryland, a Senate committee held a hearing—without taking a vote—on a bill that has already cleared the House. Tennessee House Committee Approves Ban Tennessee’s House State & Local Government Committee approved HB 1885 in a 21-to-0 vote, with one representative abstaining. Last month, the House Departments & Agencies Subcommittee voted unanimously in favor of the bill. It will next move to the Finance, Ways & Means Committee; if approved there, it will proceed to a full vote on the House floor. The legislation defines an online sweepstakes game as a platform that utilizes a virtual-currency system allowing players to engage in “gambling of any kind, including, but not limited to, casino-style gaming such as slot machines, video poker, table games, lottery games, bingo, or unlicensed sports wagering,” which can later be exchanged for “a prize, award, cash, or cash equivalent.” Should the bill pass, violators could face a fine of up to $15,000 per violation. Maryland Senate Hearing on HB 1226 In Maryland, the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee held a hearing on HB 1226. The House approved the legislation with minimal opposition on March 23, in a 135-1 vote. The bill similarly defines sweepstakes games as “a game, contest, or promotion that:(1) Utilizes a dual–currency system of payment allowing the player to exchange the currency for any prize, award, cash or cash equivalents, or chance to win any prize, award, cash or cash equivalents; and(2) Simulates any form of gambling, including:(3) Casino–style games, including slot machines, video poker, and table games such as blackjack, roulette, craps, and poker.” The committee has not yet scheduled a vote on the bill. A similar piece of legislation was introduced in the Senate in January, but it also stalled after an initial hearing. Maryland has taken steps to crack down on sweepstakes casinos. The City of Baltimore filed a lawsuit against five major operators last month, alleging the platforms are already violating state law. The bill would increase potential penalties, with offenders facing up to 3 years in prison. The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency supports the stricter rules. The agency has previously sent cease-and-desist letters to operators, including VGW. However, the company—which runs Chumba Casino, Luckyland Slots, and Global Poker—failed to comply, leading to a second round of letters being sent in November. Even so, the platforms still appear accessible in the state. Most Platforms Block Access in Maryland & Tennessee A total of 33 operators, including some of those sued by Baltimore (High 5, Stake, Pulsz, and McLuck), have exited Maryland. Tennessee has also largely driven out operators, following a wave of cease-and-desist letters from the state’s Attorney General last year. Yet, some remain active. If the bills pass in both states, it would further empower gambling regulators to take action against any companies that continue to operate. This article is provided by a third-party.

Washington Governor Signs Law Allowing Betting on In-State College Teams at Tribal Sportsbooks

(AsiaGameHub) - Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson has approved legislation that lifts the prohibition against wagering on in-state college teams at tribal sportsbooks. The governor signed the bill on March 30, and it will become active on June 11. This marks the first opportunity since sports betting was legalized in Washington in 2020 for fans to legally bet on local teams such as the University of Washington and Gonzaga University. The legislation stipulates that betting remains confined to tribal casino properties, requiring patrons to be physically present to place a wager. Although the law broadens the state's sports betting market, it upholds a number of restrictions designed to protect integrity. For instance, proposition bets on individual players, as well as bets on coaching decisions and officiating, continue to be forbidden. Due to these limitations, the change represents a measured expansion of the market rather than a full liberalization. Legislators characterized the measure as a way to strengthen the regulated sports betting industry while confining gambling to a supervised setting. Law Places Strict Limits on Player Prop Bets A defining feature of the law is its specific prohibitions. Even with the new legality of betting on college sports, wagers cannot be placed on "the performance or nonperformance of any specifically named individual participant" who is enrolled at a Washington college or university. While these individual player prop bets are banned, the law permits "portion-of-game" betting, which involves wagers on discrete segments of a contest, like the halftime score or the result of a single quarter. This ensures that many popular bet types remain available without focusing on an individual student-athlete. Supporters of the measure applauded it, noting that residents were already betting on local teams through unregulated offshore websites. By legalizing collegiate betting, the state can now recapture that revenue and offer a safer, regulated environment for bettors. The law also introduces enhanced integrity measures. Knowingly threatening a sports official, coach, or participant over a wager-related incident is now classified as a gross misdemeanor, and anyone found guilty will be prohibited from placing sports bets. NCAA Wants Player Prop Bets Banned The law's restrictions on wagering tied to a college athlete's individual performance align with a wider national discussion about college betting, where player prop bets are facing greater examination due to harassment and integrity issues. In January, coinciding with the unsealing of indictments in a college basketball point-shaving scandal, the NCAA dispatched a letter to state regulators urging a ban on prop bets for college athletes. The association warned that such wagers elevate the risks of spot-fixing, insider information solicitation, and direct harassment of players. A recent survey supports the NCAA's concerns about player harassment. The latest NCAA Student-Athlete Needs, Aspirations and Perspectives survey indicated that almost half of men’s Division I basketball players have faced abuse linked to betting. Although Washington's law does not prohibit all proposition bets, it specifically bans the types of wagers most likely to subject student-athletes, coaches, and officials to direct pressure.

Poll by Morning Consult Reveals Most Americans See Prediction Markets as Gambling

(AsiaGameHub) - A recent Morning Consult poll reveals that a majority of Americans consider the event contracts offered by prediction markets to be equivalent to gambling and are concerned they may cause greater harm, particularly to younger participants. These results echo a prior survey which indicated Americans tend to categorize prediction markets more as betting than as investing. The poll was sponsored by Gambling Is Not Investing, a coalition opposed to prediction markets and headed by former U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney. The group states its aim is to "stop prediction markets from offering unsafe and unregulated sports event contracts that bypass state and tribal laws." Poll data shows 81% of respondents identified sports betting on prediction markets as gambling. Meanwhile, 77% were worried about platforms permitting teenagers to wager on sports, believing this could heighten gambling-related issues for young adults compared to traditional sportsbooks that enforce a minimum age of 21. An additional 81% of participants either strongly or somewhat agreed that prediction markets must comply with state gaming rules, covering age limits, tax frameworks, and problem gambling mandates. In a statement releasing the poll findings, Mulvaney commented: “This polling confirms that unabated sports gambling on prediction markets is a growing concern across America. Prediction markets are trying to disguise their sports betting products as a financial investment, misleading Americans and dodging consumer safeguards like age requirements. Let’s face it, if it quacks like a duck, it’s sports betting.” Survey Shows Strong Support for Sports Betting Regulations The topline report states that 15,029 U.S. adults were surveyed between March 17 and 22. It found 73% of those polled think that employing terms such as "event contracts," "swaps," or "futures" for sports betting obscures the financial risks involved with prediction markets, a confusion they said is amplified for youth. Furthermore, 79% of surveyed individuals stated that prediction markets offering sports event contracts should be mandated to supply the same problem gambling support tools as licensed sportsbooks. An examination of the questionnaire's structure suggests the framing of questions aligns with the agenda of the Gambling Is Not Investing Coalition. Multiple questions draw a direct comparison between prediction markets and state-regulated sportsbooks and mention teenagers betting on sports, without noting that platform users typically must be 18. Some queries also employ leading language; one example asks if using financial jargon like "swaps" or "futures" makes it "more difficult" to perceive risks. This phrasing presumes an existing hurdle instead of employing neutral wording. Capitol Hill Keeps Up Pressure on Prediction Markets Prediction markets are under growing examination in Congress as legislators aim to control these event contract exchanges. Just in the past week, three distinct bills targeting the industry from various perspectives were introduced. The PREDICT Act would prohibit Congress members, high-ranking federal officials, and other designated personnel from trading specific prediction market contracts. The Public Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026 would prevent government officials from profiting on event contracts using non-public information. The STOP Corrupt Bets Act would outlaw prediction market contracts related to elections, armed conflict, government activities, and sports. On March 30, legislators also intensified calls for action, sending a letter to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the U.S. Office of Government Ethics urging a clampdown on what they called illegal insider trading in prediction markets by federal employees.

A mythical battle of power and fortune is unleashed in Amusnet’s latest slot game, Gorgon’s Luck

(AsiaGameHub) - The game draws inspiration from the realm of Ancient Greece. Press release.- Amusnet invites players to step into the world of Ancient Greece with Gorgon’s Luck, a new slot game where legends come to life and peril awaits with every spin. This 6-reel cascading slot, inspired by the formidable Gorgon Medusa and the hidden treasures within her long-lost temple, offers a daring and captivating adventure filled with mystery, mythical creatures, and potent features. The game is built on a cascading mechanic and utilizes a Match 8+ payment system, rewarding players for matching symbols anywhere on the reels. When winning combinations are formed, they vanish, making way for new symbols to cascade into their positions. This keeps the action dynamic and allows for multiple winning combinations to occur within a single round. Central to the player's experience is the Progressive Multiplier feature, powered by a variety of colorful gems. These luminous gemstones come in four colors – green, blue, purple, and red – each offering escalating multiplier values, reaching as high as an impressive 1000x. On the reels of Gorgon’s Luck, any collected multipliers are combined, enhancing the outcome and adding a significant element of suspense to each sequence. The lore of Gorgon Medusa is further explored through the free spins feature, activated by landing four Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Players are granted 15 free spins, with the possibility to extend their gameplay by landing additional Scatters during the free spins mode. For those eager to confront Gorgon Medusa directly, the game provides both a buy free spins option and an enhanced super buy bonus. These features offer players immediate access to specially configured free spins rounds, where multipliers begin at elevated levels – ranging from x10 to x1000, delivering a more intense and impactful experience from the outset. Amusnet stated: “With its dark mythological theme, cascading mechanics, and powerful multiplier feature, Gorgon’s Luck stands out as a thrilling expedition into a world of ancient danger and hidden riches. Every spin is a step closer to glory, but only the bravest will dare to face the mighty Gorgon Medusa and live to tell the tale.” Cascades & Match 8: Winning symbols disappear, allowing new symbols to fall into their place, potentially leading to additional wins from a single spin. A winning combination consists of 8 or more identical symbols appearing anywhere on the reels. Free spins: 15 free spins are triggered by landing at least 4 Scatter Symbols in any position across the reels. This feature can be retriggered by landing an additional 3 Scatter symbols during the free spins round. Progressive multiplier: Available in both the Base game and free spins mode. There are four colors of multiplier gems, as follows: Green Multiplier gem – 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x Blue Multiplier gem – 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x Purple Multiplier gem – 25x, 50x Red Multiplier gem – 100x, 250x, 500x, 1000x If multiple multipliers appear after the cascading sequence concludes, their values are added together. Buy bonus: Allows the player to purchase 15 Free Spins for the cost of 100x the total bet. Super buy bonus: Allows the player to purchase: Super free spins x10 – 15 free spins with a multiplier ranging from x10 to x1000. Super free spins x25 – 10 free spins with a multiplier ranging from x25 to x1000. Super free spins x100 — 5 free spins with a multiplier ranging from x100 to x1000. Gamble: Players have the option to play and potentially multiply their winnings through the gambling feature. Jackpot cards: The jackpot cards bonus game is activated randomly during gameplay, offering players the chance to win jackpots. This article is provided by a third-party.

SOFTSWISS Enhances CRM Operations with Automation

(AsiaGameHub) - The company has enhanced its Casino Platform with Motion, a tool developed for CRM and retention teams. Press release.- SOFTSWISS has expanded its Casino Platform with Motion, a no-code workflow automation tool. Motion, designed for CRM and retention teams, minimizes the need for technical expertise in daily operations, enabling operators to independently and more rapidly deploy bonus campaigns, manage player segmentation, and assign tags to players. The impact of manual CRM processes on operator efficiency Many casino operators encounter similar operational challenges. Automating tasks like bonus distribution, segmentation, or player tagging typically requires technical input, setup assistance, or manual intervention. Teams often depend on configuration files, support from Technical Account Managers, or repetitive back-office tasks, which lead to delays in campaign launches and increased operational costs. For CRM and retention departments, this reliance on technical staff results in slower execution and reduced control over day-to-day player engagement strategies. Understanding Motion's functionality The Motion feature operates using three core components: a trigger, a condition, and an action. These elements collectively determine when a rule is activated, which players it affects, and the subsequent outcome. Operators can construct workflows through a visual interface by linking these three components. A trigger initiates the process, such as a player registering, making a deposit, or a scheduled event. Conditions specify the target audience for the rule, based on criteria like deposit amount, segment, country, or device. The action defines the automated result, which could be issuing a bonus, applying a tag, moving a player to a specific group, or sending a notification. Once activated, these rules execute automatically in real time without manual intervention. Motion does not require any additional integrations and can be implemented within one business day for operators already utilizing the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform. Suren Vardanyan, head of sales at SOFTSWISS Casino Platform, stated: “Motion addresses a prevalent operational hurdle for operators – the reliance on technical teams for routine CRM tasks. By empowering teams to define and execute player logic directly within the platform, it eliminates delays and manual steps. This allows CRM and retention teams to concentrate on strategy and player engagement, fostering a move towards greater autonomy where business teams can operate more swiftly and with less dependence on technical intermediaries.” Operators across over 130 casino projects are currently leveraging Motion to automate bonus mechanics, player tagging, and segmentation workflows for retention and reactivation campaigns. Initial outcomes indicate faster campaign deployment and a decreased need for back-office support, with teams expressing intentions to extend automation to additional player lifecycle scenarios.

Slotegrator interviews Kate Chambers on cutting through the noise in the igaming industry

(AsiaGameHub) - Kate Chambers, founder of The Gaming Boardroom, discusses the influence of AI on operations, growing regulatory complexity, and the significance of fostering confidence in strategic planning. Press release.- Modern igaming executives are faced with a deluge of data, analysis, and industry updates while needing to make quick, well-informed strategic choices. Kate Chambers, founder of The Gaming Boardroom and an ex-director at Clarion Gaming, has spent years guiding industry figures through this intricate landscape. In a conversation with Slotegrator, she talked about closing the divide between analysis and action, harnessing AI's potential, and why cultivating the correct professional connections is as vital as possessing the right technology. Kate Chambers' many years in leadership roles, which include developing ICE into a premier igaming event, demonstrate her focus on tangible benefits. “My key takeaway was that people aren't seeking content; they are seeking confidence. Be it a conference or a professional network, what individuals truly desire is the assurance that they comprehend the situation, are aware of the next steps, and will not be surprised,” she clarifies. Kate points out that AI is subtly transforming the sector — not via showy customer-facing features, but by enhancing the efficiency of solid operational processes. She states, “The operators gaining the most advantage are those employing AI to lessen the mental strain on their staff.” AI systems that sift through, condense, and highlight crucial information are revolutionizing decision-making processes, spanning from compliance checks to collecting competitive intelligence. Kate also stresses that technology by itself is insufficient. She believes that commercial relationships and professional circles continue to be essential: “The most effective strategy currently is a consistent online presence, being accessible in the places operators turn to for solutions, combined with targeted, high-value face-to-face interactions. Relying on just one of these is inadequate,” she observes. For the future, Kate pinpoints major trends influencing igaming: escalating regulatory demands, more forward-thinking methods for responsible gambling, and an increasing demand for leaders capable of steering their teams through evolution while maintaining a clear strategic direction.
