US
gambling company to launch online casino
As widely reported this
week, Las Vegas Sands announced that it will open an online
casino, aiming at the U.K. market. This is yet another sign that
despite the efforts of the US government to put an end to online
gambling, the country's own gambling companies are looking
forward to moving their business online. Players from the Untied
Stats will not be allowed to access the website or place wagers
at it.The CEO of Las
Vegas Sands says that this move will create a strong online
position for the company for future potential opportunities.
The new online casino will
have its license issued by the U.K. and Cantor Gaming will
provide the software. Harrah's Entertainment was the last to try
online gambling in Britain, but failed just six months after it
opened virtual doors in 2004. If Las Vegas Sands' move proves to
be a successful one however, we may see other offline casino
giants entering the market. If this happens - it would be just a
matter of time and lobbying for gambling on the Internet to
become legal in the USA.
