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.
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.
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.
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. If you follow the news, it’s no secret that all online casinos are gradually introducing cryptocurrency payment. Gaming establishments that accept solely cryptocurrency deposits have already appeared. It is no coincidence that so many players of the cryptocurrency business will gather at the upcoming Gaming festival. It is very intriguing to see what topics will be raised at the conference.
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. Bitcoin casino creates new formats in the industry & enlivens it. But several big questions remain. Aren’t all the gaming websites moving too soon to cryptocurrency payment methods? Should online casino owners introduce such a feature in their house? How will it affect their profits? What is the future of bitcoin casinos? This is what the attendees of SIGMA 2022 Dubai will have to address.

The emirate country where the exhibition is held is probably the world’s most important location for the future economy and is expected to grow in significance and technological advancement, as it is considered one of the world’s best regions for successful business development.
Long-term development, the latest innovations, and complex interrelated factors were discussed by the world’s leading marketers during the AGS and AIBC Summits simultaneously under one roof. More than 7,500 enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and industry insiders descended on the Intercontinental Hotel Dubai Festival City for exciting conferences and unique networking opportunities with the world’s leading marketers. The Imperium-Games team also attended the event, not for the first time having been to Dubai this year. What’s the occasion? What was discussed at such an event?
Blockchain Future
Dominik Ernst (a well-known German developer) presented an interesting thing at his booth. One of the most pressing problems in the development of smart contracts is the lack of real data. But due to technical limitations, such as the consensus protocol, no blockchain has been able to solve this basic limitation. The Acria Network project solves exactly this problem with so-called Oracle Nodes, which do not need an intermediary. It also offers cross-chain support to provide different blockchains with real data.
While Nikita Sachdev was talking about how conventional fiat money has depreciated in Venezuela, El Salvador announced that it would generate bitcoins from cheap renewable electricity from volcanoes. Let’s find out how big of a crypto-farm Central America will become if bitcoin becomes legal tender there and not just a ledger. El Salvador’s legislature adopted the law allowing the use of bitcoin for transactions – the first country in the world to do so.
Delegates were able to witness fascinating conferences, attend exciting exhibitions, and participate in genuine networking events at the top of Dubai’s skyscraper.
But that was all at the AIBC summit, but what about marketing?
Mobile Proximity
Despite the ambitious efforts and creative solutions of each contestant, only one winner was chosen – Hayi, a free networking app for Dubai neighborhoods. They received free consultations from industry experts, valuable networking opportunities, and a free booth at the next AGS Summit, which will be held in Malta from November 16 to 19 this year. Will you be there? We can make an appointment or just contact us.
The next day’s conferences focused on innovation, with experts such as Nick Ayton, Dr. Davorin Kralj, Tom Wozniak, Farouk Aydin, Jamie Turner, Matt Conlin, and Jim Mansfield discussing such topics as e-commerce and artificial intelligence in marketing. At sumptuous dinners, speakers and listeners gathered at sumptuous venues for networking.
What’s the plan? Who is next? Another question? The Imperium-Games team was glad to visit this wonderful city once again, it was a very productive week. Thank you all!

By the end of 2020, online casino gaming is more accessible than ever, and it’s only becoming more prevalent as technology advances. This boom in popularity has led to the creation of countless online casinos, so choosing top-notch software developers for casino platforms is a must for casino operators who want to stand out from the crowd.

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.

London
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!
