Gambling in Macau

2009-10-13T23:03:50Z

Macau was both the first and last European colony in China. Gambling in Macau was legalized in 1850, under Portuguese rule, and since that time it has been known as the "Monte Carlo of the Orient." In recent years Macau's economy has enjoyed strong growth on the back of its expanding tourism and gaming sectors. After opening up its locally-controlled casino industry to foreign competition in 2001, the territory attracted tens of billions of dollars in foreign investment, transforming Macao into the world's largest gaming center. By 2006, Macau's gaming revenue surpassed that of the Las Vegas strip, and gaming-related taxes accounted for 75% of total government revenue. In 2008, government revenue from gaming was set to double 2006 collections. The expanding casino sector, and China's decision beginning in 2002 to relax travel restrictions, reenergized Macau's tourism industry. This city of just over 500,000 hosted more than 30 million visitors in 2008. Almost 60% came from mainland China despite increasing restrictions on travel the combined total brought $13.7 billion in gross gaming receipts. Macau's currency, the Pataca, is closely tied to the Hong Kong dollar, which is also freely accepted in the territory.

2008 - Nov - The debt-laden Las Vegas Sands halts construction of half-finished projects on the Cotai strip and lays off 11,000 construction workers in a stark sign of Macau's slowdown and dwindling revenues amid the financial crisis.

Online Gambling Thrives as Players Seek Escapism

2009-09-30T02:03:17Z

Some recent research by Ernst & Young has been reviewed by Tom Scotney of the Birmingham Post to provide some insight on the continued growth of the online gaming industry and how it stacks up against other forms of betting in the UK.

while online gambling has been the main success story, some casinos have weathered the recession better than others, the report said.
It said domestic gambling sites around the world were affected less than tourist gambling spots because people had been cutting down on air travel.

Some operators have also introduced new forms of gambling that have yet to face a recession.

Las Vegas Maven Bob Stupak Dies at 67

2009-09-28T22:26:57Z

Las Vegas saw the passing of a legend this past weekend. Bob Stupak, also known as Mr. Las Vegas has died of leukemia at 67.

This maven was a born entrepreneur, moving to Vegas in 1971 and raising the money to buy and acre and a half of land north of Sahara Avenue at Las Vegas Boulevard, then on March 31, 1974 opened "Bob Stupak's World Famous Historic Gambling Museum" which burned down in May of the same year because of an air-conditioner catching on fire. His entire career was filled with ups and downs.

In 1979 Stupak opened Vegas World, a very creative casino known for it's promotions and customized games. This venture became a big success which reportedly grossed over $100 million per year in the mid-1980's.

Allot of publicity befell Mr. Las Vegas when he won the million dollar wager on Super Bowl XXIII and then later in the same year he won the Deuce of Seven Lowball Championship bracelet at the WSOP.

A horrific motorcycle accident broke every bone in his face and put Stupak in a comma and despite the prognosis that he wouldn't survive he made a full recovery. The thing that has probably made Stupak most famous was the development of the Stratosphere, the highest building in Las Vegas. The tower opened in late April 1996 at a cost of $550 million but was a financial disaster. Many came to see the tower, but few stopped long enough to gamble, dine or shop. The Stratosphere went bankrupt soon thereafter, was sold, and is now profitable.

Never losing his imagination for great visionary projects Stupak was planning some huge Vegas construction ideas, right up until the end. Most recently it was the purchase of the Moulin Rouge Hotel and the design of a grand hotel in the shape of the RMS Titanic but sadly both these ventures never came to be.

Bob Stupak was a respected poker player appeared in the first season of the GSN series High Stakes Poker. He also appeared at a final table during the first season of the World Poker Tour. As of 2008, his total live tournament winnings exceeded $865,000.
