The NSW Government is poised to announce its plans for a second casino within days, with James Packer's PBL frontrunner to snare another gambling cash cow. It is believed the Iemma Government has warned Star City operators Tabcorp that it needs to pay more tax on its poker machines or face competition from a new rival. Industry insiders have said Tabcorp baulked at the higher tax regime -- which would bring it to the level of regular clubs and pubs -- and the Government has now got its trigger for a second NSW casino.

SugarHouse Casino asked the state Supreme Court on Thursday to cut through what it called "obstructionist" political opposition in Philadelphia and allow its USD 550 million project to move ahead. In suing the administration and City Council, SugarHouse joined the city's other planned casino, Foxwoods, in forsaking the political process for the courts. Foxwoods Casino has also asked the Supreme Court to require the city to approve its project. (Virtually all issues connected with the licensing, planning and zoning of the state's nascent slots industry go directly to the highest court, by law.)

Hong Kong - It all started with a stroll in a virgin highland jungle 5,900 feet above sea level 43 years ago for Lim Goh Tong. On that site, he built his first casino and resort, modeled on the hill stations constructed by British expatriates who could not stand the tropical heat of their Asian colonies. From that resort, Genting Highlands, Lim built a vast gaming and tourism empire, the Genting Group, the largest company of its kind in Southeast Asia.

Washington (AP) - Aiming to rein in the booming Indian gambling industry, the government is trying to make sure electronic bingo machines at tribal casinos can't masquerade as Las Vegas-style slots. Slot machines are more lucrative for tribes and more attractive to players, but they are subject to state approval and limits. Video bingo isn't. The basic difference between the two is that slot machines involve a gambler interacting only with a single machine, whereas video bingo requires gamblers to play each other over a linked network.

Am letzten Sonntag ging es nach England. Gleich 2 Fernsehshows standen in meinem Kalender. Zuerst ging es nach Maidstone für die 888 UK Open, bei denen ich den Nachmittagsheat am Montag spielen sollte und tags darauf stand für mich die Teilnahme am Revival von Late Night Poker in Cardiff/Wales auf dem Programm. TV- Fernsehshows haben den Vorteil, dass sich die Veranstalter und Sponsoren meist sehr um das Wohl ihrer Gäste bemühen.

Hong Kong won’t build casinos to compete with neighbouring Macau, despite the challenge posed by the gambling mecca’s rapid transformation into a tourism and convention hub, Hong Kong’s leader said on Thursday. "The answer is no," said CEO Donald Tsang when asked whether the city might construct its own casinos after a major push by some tourism operators and the pro-business Liberal party to build a casino resort.
