Incumbent Barack Obama has been the US 2012 Presidential Elections favorite for the entire journey, but Republican challenger Mitt Romney has firmed following the resounding success of the first debate. Romney revival Following the first debate between the two leading candidates, William Hill have shortened Mitt Romney's US election betting odds for the first time in a month, from 4/1 to 11/1, while simultaneously lengthening Obama's shot of a second term in the White House from 1/7 up to 1/4. Hill is also taking betting on whether Republicans or Democrats will carry key battleground states such as Ohio, Iowa and North Carolina. Florida is once again shaping up as one of the most difficult contests to call, with Obama currently commanding 1/2 odds compared to Romney's 6/4. Gambling perspective As we recently reported, neither presidential candidate has brought the issue of online gambling or poker legislation into the general debate, although experts seem to believe that leading Democratic policymakers are more in favour of federal government regulation than their Republican counterparts. According to Perspectives Weekly's J Todd, the Republicans are the only ones talking about online gambling at this election, making the destruction of gaming and other personal freedoms part of its agenda even at a time when the economy is falling apart and unemployment is rising.

Social gambling is set to boom in the next few years, according to the latest research, demonstrating that Zynga and other social game makers have made the right decision by moving into real-money betting. Social gambling boom Annual revenue from real-money social game gambling should reach $1.6 billion by the end of this year, rising gradually to a peak of about $2.4 billion by the year 2015, according to the latest report on Social Casino Metrics compiled by SuperData, a leading research firm on the topic. According to SuperData, the average social gambler already spends almost double the amount of cash-free social game players. Real-money social gamers spent $78 on average in July, compared to their non-money counterparts with $43. Almost half these gamers are situated in the US, where there are more than 35 million social gamers. Putting it into practice Zynga, the world's largest social gaming provider, has been talking of online gambling for a while. Recent moves suggest the implementation of real-money gaming is high up on the agenda, and it could be a matter of time before its services are integrated with real-money platforms on Facebook. In a sign of things to come, Facebook and independent gaming partner Gamesys have already begun offering a real-money version of online bingo for British users of the social network who are aged 18 and over. If successful, the trial could change the face of the entire online gambling industry.

Online poker can co-exist Legalization of online poker will allow the industry to grow in the US again, International Game Technology CEO Patti Hart said during a panel on the gaming industry, reflecting the views of her fellow speakers. Hart said she sees online gaming not as a threat to traditional casinos, but rather as a challenge. Las Vegas Sands president Michael Leven agreed with his fellow panellists that the industry must use technology more effectively to capture the next generation of gamblers. He said online poker would not hurt Las Vegas, although he explained that it might have a negative impact on smaller markets. Las Vegas to boom Most speakers expressed optimism about the traditional gambling venues, with MGM Resorts CEO Jim Murren saying he expects 2012 to be better than last year for Las Vegas. He said expectations for 2013 were strong, thanks to double digit increases in convention bookings, and argued that the trend would continue in 2014. Leven was cautiously optimistic, explaining that the casino industry's future was very much tied to disposable income. He said the industry would do well if the global economy grows, but added that a second recession would really hurt casino operators.

'Key test' The policy paper on gambling will be a "key test" of the Commission's commission to tackling fragmentation in the sector, Sigrid Ligne, secretary general of the European Gaming and Betting Association said. She used the opportunity to call for hard action from the commission to protect consumers. Ligne said the EGBA deplores the situation in which 27 mini-markets are competing for gambling in Europe.
