Kentucky Online Gambling Domain Name Arguments Heard By Supreme Court

The state of Kentucky held firm to their belief on Thursday that they acted within state law when they seized 141 online gambling domain names. Attorneys for the gambling sites also held their ground.

Attorneys for the two sides made their cases in front of the Kentucky Supreme Court Thursday, and a ruling on which side is right may not come down for weeks, possibly even months. The two sides took turns arguing their points, trying to convince the state's highest court that their position is the correct one.

At issue is whether or not the state had the right to seize the domain names. The state contends that the gambling sites were being used for an illegal activity in Kentucky, online gambling. In their eyes, that gave them the right to seize the domains.

• OCTOBER 13, 2009

By JONATHAN CHENG

HONG KONG—Macau's government met with the city's six casino operators Monday and said it would review the size and growth of the industry, including potentially restricting the number of gambling tables.

The government of the Chinese gambling enclave didn't release specifics, but depending on the results of the review, government officials could enact new restrictions on one of the gambling world's most promising growth markets.

The government in its statement said the six operators agreed officials should prevent "unlimited expansion" of Macau's gambling sector, and government officials said the review would include the number of gaming tables. There were 4,390 gaming tables in Macau at the middle of the year, according to the latest figures from Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau.

Francis Tam, Macau's secretary for economy and finance, on Monday told representatives of the six operators, which include the Macau arms of Wynn Resorts Ltd. and Las Vegas Sands Corp., that the government was also seeking to raise the entry-age limit for casinos to 21 years old from the current limit of 18 years old.

Eight People Charged in San Diego With Bribing Casino Dealers to Rig Card Games

Thursday, September 24, 2009

SAN DIEGO — Eight people have been charged in San Diego as part of a conspiracy that authorities said cheated U.S. and Canadian casinos out of millions of dollars by bribing dealers to rig card games.

The suspects were indicted by a federal grand jury this month and face up to five years in prison if convicted.

The U.S. attorney's office claims that from 2002 to 2006, they bribed card dealers and supervisors at 11 casinos to perform false shuffles during blackjack and mini-baccarat games that helped players win.

More than 30 other people already have pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in the same scheme, which authorities say netted more than $3 million.

Prosecutors contend more than two dozen casinos were victimized in Canada, California, Nevada, Washington state, Indiana, Connecticut, Louisiana and Mississippi.
