Mike Gupta, social gaming leader Zynga's Vice-President Finance and Treasurer, recently spoke in-depth to digital financial media company TheStreet about his company's future direction, including its plans for online gambling. Exploring Online Gambling Gupta told TheStreet that his company is "exploring" its future in online gambling, calling it an interesting compliment to what Zynga does in its core business. Specifically, he referred to its Zynga Poker asset, which is the world's largest online game with over 30 million monthly average users or players. If, as Gupta hints, Zynga Poker could provide a space for future development, then this is something that could change the entire online poker landscape. It was only a few months ago that the San Francsico-based company confirmed it is holding talks with potential partners to host online gambling and poker for real money. On Facebook IPO Zynga is the largest provider of social games, including a casino package, for Facebook, so it is no surprise too that TheStreet asked the VP about the fallout from Facebook's IPO. In particular, Gupta was asked whether the whole situation has negatively affected social media in general. Gupta said of course that he cannot comment specifically on Facebook and where they're trading. But he did say his company was focused on delivering long-term shareholder value, and that one of the best ways to do this is to build and develop the most fun and accessible social games. There could be clues in that comment about what the future holds for Zynga and its customers.

A British judge has compared a man fighting to keep his £650,000 online gambling jackpot winnings to the character from the classic 1930s Hollywood romantic comedy film, "The Man who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo." Gambler fights for winnings Bruno Venturi put a £17 pounds stake on one of Eurobet.com's lottery-style games in 2009, and over a 3 and a half hour session he kept winning - until he claimed a jackpot to the tune of £650,000 ($1m.). However, the company which operated the gambling website said a software bug was responsible for the man's luck. Surrey, England-based Eurobet UK Ltd told the High Court in London this week that the man's winning are null and void because he was mistakenly charged for only one in six of his total bets. The company has refused to pay the Naples, Italy resident his winnings, leading Judge Simon Brown QC to make his reference to the 1935 film. "I had a good feeling" Venturi told the court through an interpreter that when he started to win, he developed a good feeling. He said as a player, his instincts told him to keep betting. When challenged by the Eurobet's legal representative, who said he must have realised something was wrong, Venturi said he did not have a clue, and just thought that he was very lucky. The Italian stopped playing just before midnight, telling the court that he realised the amount he had won and decided that he had to stop. He said he had never been that lucky, and that a human he was taken by the emotions and euphoria. Hopefully for the 41-year-old, his luck continues in this court battle.

Hill considers its first US operations to be "an important part of our international growth strategy," CEO Ralph Topping said. IGT, Bally also win Slot machine manufacturers International Game Technology and Bally Technologies were issued the first two licenses for online betting in the state last week, and both said straight afterward that they intend to offer online gambling technology to other licensed operators and not compete directly with casinos for customers. These approvals pave the wave for the US casino industry to expand into an online gambling market that H2 Gambling Capital says will be worth $13.4 billion in five years. Nevada last year was the first state to pass a statute authorizing internet gambling, and two dozen companies have since sought licenses" including local firms Caesars Entertainment Corp. and MGM Resorts International.
