Macau casinos remain open amid COVID closures

Macau has introduced a fresh round of closures to curb a recent rise in Covid-19 cases, though casinos will stay open.

A number of leisure facilities have been ordered to close following a sudden surge in coronavirus cases over the past week.

Cinemas, hair salons and nightclubs are among those facing closure from 5 pm local time today, while dine-in service at restaurants or similar establishments is prohibited, a statement on Macau’s government website read.

In addition, all leisure facilities managed by Macau’s Municipal Affairs Bureau, such as parks, gardens and exhibition halls, are being suspended from operation.

But casinos have evaded closure, despite several infections linked to them. Four positive cases were recorded in relation to an 18 June wedding held at SJM Holdings’ Grand Lisboa Palace.

And yesterday, the city’s daily testing identified two dealers, alongside a table game manager, office worker and a cleaner, as cases originating from casinos.

Earlier today, Macau’s Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre reported that 110 positive cases had thus far been detected.

This comes as citywide nucleic acid testing (NAT) is launched. All local residents and individuals staying in Macau must submit to testing.

Executive Order No. 102/2022, which introduces the latest closures, was issued by Chief Executive Ho lat-seng based on an evaluation by the Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre.

Besides the aforementioned properties subject to this order, theatres, indoor amusement parks, game centres, cybercafes, billiard rooms, bowling centres, saunas, massage parlours, beauty salons, gyms, health clubs, karaoke lounges, discos, dance parlours, cabaret venues and swimming pools will all close.

IGT inks 10-year contract extension with Kansas Lottery

International Game Technology (IGT) will continue to support the Kansas Lottery through mid-December 2032.

Both parties have put pen to paper on a 10-year contract extension that will see IGT deliver an enhanced version of its Intelligen electronic gaming central system.

By integrating IGT’s upgraded Intelligen software, the Sunflower State’s lottery will purportedly receive the supplier’s “most advanced systems technology to strategically manage its electronic gaming machine (EGM) network.”

Under this new agreement, the Kansas Lottery will receive site controllers that will maintain network diagnostics and communications between all gaming machines, as well as business intelligence tools for day-to-day operations management and reporting.

“IGT’s upgraded Intelligen system will provide the Kansas Lottery with a suite of comprehensive tools designed to drive revenues and offer its players world-class gaming experiences,” said Jay Gendron, IGT’s Chief Operating Officer for Global Lottery.

“Intelligen’s improved system performance will also allow the lottery to manage its vast network with maximum efficiency over the next decade and position the lottery to deploy future functionality to meet the needs of the evolving gaming landscape.”

In addition to EGMs and its Intelligen central system, IGT also provides the Kansas Lottery with instant ticket games and printing services. The new contract will run through 14 December 2032.

The company previously agreed a three-year contract extension with the lottery in 2019 but that is set to end in December of this year. The original agreement was awarded to IGT in 2008.

CRYPTOQUEEN WANTED IN EUROPE, CRYPTO CRASH NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

The ongoing crypto crash is nothing to worry about according to Mark Cuban, as relaxing of crypto tax rules arrives in Germany this week.

OneCoin’s founder Ruja Ignatova, the notorious ‘CryptoQueen’, has been added to Europe’s list of most wanted people. Ignatova orchestrated one of the biggest scams in the history of the blockchain and cryptocurrency.

She hoodwinked investors for billions of dollars back in 2017 and her brother was arrested in the US where he is still currently detained. Ignatova herself has disappeared with investigators speculating over where the cunning woman keeps the missing $5bn.

In the meantime, OneCoin, the scam project, has still been active in Bulgaria, where it was run from, under the nose of authorities.

Speaking of fraud, five state regulators in the US have slammed the Flamingo Casino Club, a metaverse casino with alleged ties to Russia that has been fraudulently associating itself with the prominent Flamingo Las Vegas casino.

Germany has introduced some changes to its legislation to make the sale of crypto tax-free if the cryptocurrencies are held for at least a year. This marks an important change in the way cryptocurrencies are regulated and should help with further adoption of these assets.

But attitudes towards cryptocurrencies haven’t been all warm and fuzzy, as Bankless, a popular educational YouTube channel on cryptocurrencies and digital assets, was banned by the Google-owned platform.

Regulators have been busy trying to figure out crypto fraud. The US Justice Department indicted Luiz Capuci Jr for a purported fraud scheme that had cost investors an estimated $62m. As the crypto market lost more than $1.2 trillion in value over the past few weeks, the events have been described as a “buyer’s market”.

Analysts see an opportunity for anyone who has been hesitant about cryptocurrencies to get started and involved with the process themselves. Meanwhile, there have been some interesting developments relating to the stablecoin market.

USD Tether lost five cents off its value. This is huge news because the cryptocurrency token is pegged to the value of the US dollar and it’s not supposed to be trading at $0.95 at all.

However, it was on Thursday. But all is well, as billionaire investor Mark Cuban is confident that the current cryptocurrency slump is just a “phase”, similar to what the internet went through in the 2000s.

In the meantime, you can still spend the weekend enjoying your favorite crypto casinos. Moreover, you can make your own gaming club. Please contact us when you have a chance.

METAVERSE CASINO SLAMMED BY US REGULATORS

A fraudulent casino project has been handed a 22-page cease and desist letter and asked to stop sales of its NFTs in five US states.

A metaverse casino projects with ties to Russia has been handed a cease-and-decease letter by five US state regulators.

The Flamingo Casino Club is accused of misleading investors into believing that the online casino is linked to the iconic Flamingo Las Vegas property.

The connection has been implied across the metaverse project to build up investor confidence and extract bigger investments.

However, the states of New Jersey, Texas, Kentucky, Alabama and Wisconsin have prepared a 22-page letter in which they address the fraudulent claims, and reveal it has ties to Russia.

The website IP of the NFT-inspired casino can be traced back to Moscow, raising another red flag.

The Flamingo Casino Club has made several false claims, including that it’s associated and in partnerships with Yahoo and MarketWatch.

Both claims have been disproved by the state regulators. In their letter, the watchdogs argued that the property is purposefully concealing its connection to Russia.

“Not only is it allegedly concealing its connection to Russia, but the Flamingo Casino Club is also allegedly using a phony office address, providing a telephone number that is not in service, concealing its actual physical location and hiding material information about its principals”, the letter reads.

The website is also suspected of other serious breaches, such as concealing information about use and origin of funds.

There is a lot of uncertainty around the project, which has made several ambiguous claims. Flamingo Casino Club has been telling participants that they will be entitled to 50% of the casino’s income by purchasing NFTs and participating in what now appears to be a Ponzi scheme.

The project’s website still displays the Las Vegas casino property which has denied all and any association.

Bitcoin casinos as the main focus of discussion

The upcoming iGaming event will touch on the topic of Bitcoin casinos in current realities.

Cryptocurrency is a big plus for the whole Casino Business. The ability to make payments anonymously gives numerous perks to casino operators and high-roller gamblers alike.

AIBC & AGS: 2 Events Under One Roof: What’s The Occasion?

Le pays de l'émirat où se tient l'exposition est probablement l'endroit le plus important du monde pour l'économie future et devrait gagner en importance et en progrès technologique, car il est considéré comme l'une des meilleures régions du monde pour le développement réussi des entreprises.

Le développement à long terme, les dernières innovations et les facteurs complexes interdépendants ont été discutés par les plus grands spécialistes du marketing au cours des sommets de l'AGS et de l'AIBC qui se sont tenus simultanément sous un même toit. Plus de 7 500 passionnés, entrepreneurs et initiés du secteur se sont rendus à l'hôtel Intercontinental Dubai Festival City pour assister à des conférences passionnantes et profiter d'opportunités uniques de réseautage avec les plus grands spécialistes du marketing. L'équipe d'Imperium-Games a également participé à l'événement, n'étant pas à sa première visite à Dubaï cette année. Quelle est l'occasion ? De quoi a-t-on discuté lors d'un tel événement ?

L'avenir de la blockchain

Dominik Ernst (un développeur allemand bien connu) a présenté une chose intéressante sur son stand. L'un des problèmes les plus pressants dans le développement des smart contracts est le manque de données réelles. Mais en raison de limitations techniques, telles que le protocole de consensus, aucune blockchain n'a été en mesure de résoudre cette limitation de base. Le projet Acria Network résout exactement ce problème avec les "nœuds Oracle", qui n'ont pas besoin d'intermédiaire. Il offre également un support inter-chaînes pour fournir des données réelles à différentes chaînes de blocs.

#VolcanoMoney

Alors que Nikita Sachdev parlait de la dépréciation de la monnaie fiduciaire conventionnelle au Venezuela, le Salvador a annoncé qu'il allait générer des bitcoins à partir de l'électricité renouvelable bon marché produite par les volcans. Découvrons la taille de la crypto-ferme que deviendra l'Amérique centrale si le bitcoin y devient une monnaie légale et pas seulement un grand livre de comptes. L'assemblée législative du Salvador a adopté la loi autorisant l'utilisation du bitcoin pour les transactions - le premier pays au monde à le faire.

Les délégués ont pu assister à des conférences fascinantes, assister à des expositions passionnantes et participer à de véritables événements de réseautage au sommet du gratte-ciel de Dubaï.

Mais tout cela s'est passé au sommet de l'AIBC, mais qu'en est-il du marketing ?

Proximité mobile

Malgré les efforts ambitieux et les solutions créatives de chaque participant, un seul gagnant a été choisi - Hayi, une application gratuite de mise en réseau pour les quartiers de Dubaï. Ils ont reçu des consultations gratuites d'experts du secteur, de précieuses opportunités de réseautage et un stand gratuit au prochain Sommet AGS, qui se tiendra à Malte du 16 au 19 novembre de cette année. Serez-vous présent ? Nous pouvons prendre rendez-vous ou simplement nous contacter.

Les conférences du lendemain étaient axées sur l'innovation, avec des experts tels que Nick Ayton, le Dr Davorin Kralj, Tom Wozniak, Farouk Aydin, Jamie Turner, Matt Conlin et Jim Mansfield, qui ont abordé des sujets tels que le commerce électronique et l'intelligence artificielle dans le marketing. Lors de somptueux dîners, conférenciers et auditeurs se sont retrouvés dans des lieux somptueux pour nouer des contacts.

Quel est le plan ? Qui est le prochain ? Une autre question ? L'équipe d'Imperium-Games était heureuse de visiter cette merveilleuse ville une fois de plus, ce fut une semaine très productive. Merci à tous !

L'essentiel pour 2020

Comme les vacances du Nouvel An approchent à grands pas, beaucoup de gens font un bilan de l'année et font des projets pour l'avenir. Passons en revue l'année écoulée.

À la fin de 2020, les jeux de casino en ligne sont plus accessibles que jamais, et ils ne cessent de se généraliser à mesure que la technologie progresse. Cet essor de la popularité a conduit à la création d'innombrables casinos en ligne. Le choix de développeurs de logiciels de premier ordre pour les plateformes de casino est donc un impératif pour les propriétaires de casinos qui veulent se démarquer. 

Nouveaux fournisseurs

While there are many aspects to look out for when opening an online casino, careful selection of software developers should take precedence, as this will be the determining factor for many players. In addition to attracting them, great software developers will also keep your players loyal. This year we added 5 new and best on the market software providers – Merkur, Quickspin, Bally, Ainsworth, Yggdrasil. They excel in their field of work. It’s superb graphic and audio, eventually easy-to-use interfaces. As a company, we have a bright vision and strong focus on the future and are pushing forward our ambitious plans.

It can be paired with a multifunctional scanning platform for hands-free operation. Specialists are on hand 24/7 to provide second level support for licensees, monitor the performance of our networks and escalate any issues.

Londres

This year we visited the ICE London 2020, we would like to remember it again at the conclusion of this past year. It was a beautiful event. We loved the esports area and a featured custom-built stage. It was very interesting to hear Danny Rogers’ thoughts on the industry and government regulation in the future. On the third day, we actively participated in workshops, shared knowledge, and met many of our friends. We got the opportunity to meet some of our clients who began as small start-ups and had progressed to exhibiting at ICE in their own right. 

Although it was a very difficult year for the world, the industry grew in size and developed considerably. We did a lot this year, and we will do even more next year. Stay tuned and have a great new year!
