Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 4:32 am

Although there are still some very strict limitations on US players and online gambling, Mohegan Sun has partnered up with Bally Technologies in order to provide US players a free opportunity to play poker online without risks. This is a free online gaming platform for players, and is available on an exciting Internet gaming platform. The technology will provide every player in the US the fun, excitement and thrill of playing poker online, without having to read your any money. This is a 100% play for free website, and it is expected to be launched early next year. This new online poker forum will be available at www.MoheganSun.com and at www.PoconoDowns.com. Mohegan Sun, in Uncasville Connecticut, is the only East Coast casino that currently offers Bally’s innovative iGaming technology. This is great news for all American players, especially those that just want to play poker for free, but there are fixed rendering limitations on websites that are currently available for such.

The agreement between Mohegan Sun and Bally Technologies comes after six months in review, in order to ensure the highest quality, up-to-date and innovative technology, along with the best vendor for this website. The CEO of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority is extremely proud and happy with the partnership with Bally Technologies, and is proud to be able to offer their guests and players with the most fun and entertaining gaming and entertainment experience possible. With the addition of iGaming, Mohegan Sun thinks that this is the next step required in order to provide fully regulated, safe and secure online play for every gambler of every age and experience that wants to play. This is a spectacular opportunity, particularly for those customers who are unable to physically visit a casino when they want. Often, this is simply due to the fact that the casino is too far away to drive to each day, or even a few days a week. With this new experience, it may help encourage new players to visit the Mohegan Sun casino, to play for real once they have improved and enhanced their poker knowledge.

With this exciting iGaming platform, players will be able to take advantage of the most streamlined mobile integration available. The platform is also anticipated to be able to accommodate a variety of online gambling opportunities, including table games, video slots, sports betting and poker. However, all of these gambling opportunities are only available as the regulations within the state of Connecticut allow. This is a truly strategic partnership, according to the CEO of Bally Technologies, providing the best advantages available for an open iGaming platform. This will allow the highest quality content for players across the country, want to learn to play poker, or continue where they left off from other online poker sites such as Full Tilt Poker that are currently unavailable in the US, whether for real money or for play money entertainment. With the expected launch to be early next year, players across the country will be able to take advantage of this free online poker gaming opportunity for their entertainment very soon.

Projections of the Gaming Market

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 4:41 am

When looking at the various aspects of the American casinos along with the changing trends, many experts can give their opinion. Although the American casinos are very dependent on the country’s economic standings, the country’s economic standings are also very dependent on the casinos. When looking at the casino industry and thinking forward, many people in the industry are very optimistic about the future in all aspects of gaming.
New technology and finding ways to better utilize the Internet may help play a role in gambling but as for now, experts are seeing well into 2015 and making predictions based on current trends. As with any other marketing opportunity, these projections can fluctuate on a constant basis but the outlook seems to look good for the future of casino gambling.
In the United States, casino revenue is on the up rise. It is estimated that the casino gaming industry will see a rise in gross revenue profits of approximately five percent over the next three years. In 2010, the revenues brought in by American casinos stood at $57.5 billion. It is projected to expand to over $73 billion by 2015.
While analyzing the different casinos in the United States, there are a few different regional areas that may do better while other areas do worse. Predictions for Atlantic City, New Jersey are not looking too good according to casino industry experts and followers. In 2011, the industry brought in $3.3 billion in Atlantic City and by 2015, it is projected that the revenue will fall to $2.8 billion. In Las Vegas and in other areas in Nevada that have gambling casinos, the revenue for 2011 was $10.7 billion that year. By 2015, it is anticipated that Nevada casinos will see a decent growth in profits of $13 billion. Regional casinos that are sprinkled across the nation on riverboats or in other areas brought in $18 billion in 2011 and are projected to rake in over $24 billion by 2015. The other casinos, tribal casinos are also projected to do rather well in the future. In 2011, the tribal casinos across the United States totaled a $27.5 billion profit and should anticipate an increase to $33.4 billion by 2015.
When looking at the whole bigger picture, Nevada is considered the casino gaming capital. The jump in the projected revenue from 2011 to 2015 would be around one-fifth of the whole gaming market in the United States. That jump is very critical and ambitious. That is the casino gambling projection as a whole and it could be broken down even further by game. Overall, the outlook for the gambling industry in the United States is looking pretty good. Atlantic City is the only area where it may be flailing a bit but with new marketing campaigns that have been launched in the area, it could at least level out.
While no one can actually forecast the potential that the casino industry has in the next few years, the experts are at least optimistic. It will not make or break the industry but could add for additional changes in the future and the implementation of new technologies that may breakthrough.

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 4:31 am

There is exciting news for casino lovers in the US and in Europe, because Las Vegas Sands is planning on creating a spectacular leisure and gaming resort just outside of Madrid, Spain. The project is being called Euro Vegas, but it is still not quite clear how the complex is going to be financed, because of the extensive recession, crises and other issues that are associated with building such a massive project in Spain. It is also unsure exactly where outside of Madrid the casino is going to be built. Although the project is still in early stages, it is expected to begin soon, because the Euro zone debt crisis is improving. Currently, the Sands is anticipated to contribute up to 35 percent find equity required to build Euro Vegas, and is exploring other financing options available from capital markets, to ensure the success in building and marketing this exciting project. The choice for building the complex outside of Madrid versus Barcelona was a difficult choice, because Barcelona is a spectacular tourist destination, the Madrid is the capital of Spain.

Although all of these cities are Spain’s largest, authorities of Catalonia, the capital of which is Barcelona, presented a theme park/casino project of the realm, which help to push the Sands building of their own complex to Madrid instead of Barcelona. This will relieve an extensive amount of competition, because Barcelona World will be located near Barcelona, as Barcelona-based banks will be financing and assisting in property development. Currently, Euro Vegas is still under wraps, awaiting final approval to begin construction. The idea behind Euro Vegas is that it will be a spectacular resort that has 12 hotels with 36,000 rooms available. Euro Vegas also provides six different casinos, 18,000 slot machines and provide players and enthusiasts alike, three stunning golf courses. Although this is the presentation and idea that they want to pursue, the exact location and size of Euro Vegas is still unknown. There are different plots available around Madrid that have been empty and undeveloped, because of the recession and Spain’s property market collapse.

There is an extensive amount of support as well as opposition far the creation of Euro babies outside Madrid, because of ethical and environmental issues. However, investors are still skeptical, because they are concerned about a Greek bailout for Spain. There is also opposition, because of the urging for Spain’s government to reduce or eliminate certain taxes, as well as reduce or eliminate restrictions placed on smoking in public places, in order to make Euro Vegas a reality. There is also speculation that the Sands may have been a party to secret conditions, in order to attract American money in order to create this spectacular hotel, casino, and resort in Madrid. An additional opposition, there are many in the country that fear a hike in criminal activities, including money-laundering and prostitution, caused by promotion of gambling in the country. For now, Euro Vegas is on hold, but with the European market improving, it may become a reality faster than originally anticipated.
