Macau-based gaming equipment supplier LT Game, a subsidiary of Paradise Entertainment, is leaving the US because it says it cannot compete due to the high tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration. While LT Game’s presence in the US market has been relatively minor, the move underscores the broader implications that tariffs can have on international gaming suppliers.

Nevada Lottery Delayed At Least Five Years After Bill Doesn't Pass

1 week ago | bonus.com |

Any hopes for a Nevada state lottery in the current decade are dead after a bill to implement one failed to emerge from the Legislative Operations and Elections Committee before the deadline last Friday. Due to the state’s unusual laws, a repeat attempt would take at least five more years to come to fruition, even if lawmakers were to begin again immediately. Assembly Joint Resolution 5 (AJR5) proposed to amend the Nevada Constitution to revise the prohibition against the sale of lottery tickets.
Anti-Smoking Advocacy Groups Urge Smoke-Free Casino Study

1 week ago | bonus.com | Chav Vasilev

Anti-smoking advocacy groups are urging shareholders of four gambling giants to demand that they conduct economic studies on the impact of making their properties smoke-free. Casino gaming floors are one of the few public spaces where smoking remains legal in many states, despite increasing pressure on multiple fronts to change that. Casino owners are often resistant to the idea, believing that smoking bans will hurt their bottom lines.
Indiana Legislature Passes Bill To Ban Lottery Couriers

2 weeks ago | bonus.com |

A Senate Bill has passed through the Indiana House that will ban lottery couriers from operating in the Hoosier State. However, that prohibition may not be permanent. Rather, the intent of the bill appears to be to establish that couriers aren’t legal until the state decides on a plan for online lottery sales, which may include regulated couriers. An 82-10 vote in favor of SB94 this week now puts the bill before Gov. Mike Braun to sign into law.

Pennsylvania poker players may be sitting at tables with their peers in New Jersey, Michigan, and perhaps Nevada before the end of the month. It has been known for a while that the Keystone State was on the cusp of joining the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), probably early in the second quarter of the year. However, the popular assumption was that operators might need several more months in order to implement the technology to start traffic-sharing.
Maine's Online Casino Bill Fails Quickly in First Committee

2 weeks ago | bonus.com | Alexander Weldon

There wasn’t enough time to make much progress on Maine online casino legalization this year, after the bill only appeared late in the session and minus one key sponsor from last year’s effort. As with the 2024 iGaming bill, this year’s LD1164 would have extended Maine’s online sports betting laws to allow for online casino games. That would have put the master licenses in the hands of the Wabanaki Nations, an alliance comprising the four federally-recognized tribes in the state.
