The American Gaming Association (AGA) is welcoming three new members as 2014 begins. The organization's board of directors will be reinforced with representatives from Wynn Resorts Ltd., Station Casinos Churchill Downs Inc. The AGA The AGA is the casino industry's largest and most important lobbying group in the US, including board members from America's biggest gambling and gaming bodies. The AGA has been pushing the casino industry's interests since its foundation in June 1995. Steve Wynn who helped found the organization, is expected to return to its board of directors with the addition of the three new members. Station Casinos chairman Frank Fertitta III is expected to join the board as well. Fertitta's UltimaePoker was the first website to legally go online in Nevada. The AGA is also seeing a change in its chairman position: Bally Technologies chairman Richard Haddrill is making room for incoming Chairman Jim Murren who is also chairman for MGM Resorts. This is followed by the replacement of AGA's CEO back in June, when Frank Fahrenkopf Jr. who served as CEO since the organization's foundation in 1995 was replaced by U.S. Travel Industry official Geoff Freeman. Commenting on the three new members, Freeman said that it's "a critical step in the AGA's evolution as a representative of the entire gaming industry". Internal Dispute The new AGA members are entering the organization in a tense time, seeing that member and Las Vegas Sands Corp. chairman Sheldon Adelson has announced his opposition to internet gaming. Adelson is intending to spend millions of dollars to oppose both the state and federal legislation of online gambling in the United States, and it will be interesting to see how the AGA will fare with this delicate matter.

Sunderland hosts Manchester United tonight at the Stadium of Light for a close Capital One Cup semi-final first leg. Manchester United are on a bad streak: They lost at home to Tim Sherwood's Tottenham 1-2 last Wednesday and then they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Swansea. If David Moyes can still win a cup, it's in this competition. Home team Sunderland, although positioned at the bottom of the Premier League table, has been displaying a great performance in the cup - they won all of their matches so far, including a giant killing of Chelsea in the League Cup quarter finals. In their last 20 meetings, Sunderland have failed to beat the Red Devils, but tonight just might be their break. Manchester United is missing first choice strikers like Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie; they were also lacking players like Nani, Ashley Young and Rio Ferdinand in the Swansea match. The Reds are unbeaten away from home in their last seven games - they've won the last three. Even if they don't win this match they can take the decision back to Old Trafford which could do good to them. Sunderland will certainly be looking to fill Swansea's role today and it'll be interesting to see how David Moyes' men fare - will the post-Fergie Reds give up on all cups? Bet Live You can enjoy this exciting fixture with a spicy wager over at bet365 Sports. In Full Time Result the sportsbook is offering 7/2 on Sunderland, 8/11 on Manchester United and 14/5 for a draw. 68 other interesting betting markets await you along with all other Cup fixtures like Manchester City vs. West Ham and Hull vs. Chelsea.
It may not be tomorrow or the day after that but South and Central America are set to become one of the next markets to be the focus of major online gambling moguls. The potential profits that any one of the countries to approve online gambling are immense and with tens of millions of potential customers available the pressure is coming down hard on governments to pass new laws immediately. The Latin American MarketThe interest in the South and Central American markets is so big that last year in 2013 one of the biggest conferences in the internet gambling industry took place in Buenos Aires, Argentina and the first ever Brazilian Gaming Congress in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Mr. Victor Arias Lopez the Latin American Manager of Casino Fantasia was quoted as saying, "For the last 7 years of my career in the online gaming industry I have focused my research and work on the Latin-American market. It is really important to recognize the interesting growth and interest from the biggest companies all around the world to conquest a market with a population of over 600 million people in 27 countries which are having an important economic growth and the power of acquisition is getting better every day. As a result of these factors, the investors become more interested."With countries like Brazil currently at record economic lows and tons of tax-payer money being earmarked for the extravagant World Cup later this year the online gambling industry could be the hero the country needs for the future. It is just a matter of time until a full, booming industry is fully active in Central and South America and we can't wait to report on it all as it unfolds.
Gambling at social networks has not been the great success that many expected it to be, and in the last year or so, developments at the market leader have been followed with considerable interest. 2014 is a new year and maybe a new start for Zynga. The social network based gambling site as had a tough time recently, with some highly publicized disagreements with their major partner sites. In 2012, there were some 300 million registered users of Zynga's products, but by the end of 2013 that had halved to just 150 million, while their revenue dropped by around one third. Some of its' best known products were also dropped during the year, and perhaps most importantly, they withdrew from the vital US social gambling market. Changes for 2014Don Mattrick has been recruited as the new Chief Executive Officer, and despite this management shake-up causing some concerns in the financial markets, Mattrick has had many years of experience with Microsoft and Electronic Arts, a company that experienced a big turnaround in its' fortunes while he was there. He has already overseen the introduction of more role-playing games at Zynga, and these tend to retain users better, and have a longer life span, than pure gambling does, so perhaps the company has a brighter future with such a seasoned manager at the table.UK DevelopmentsAlthough they left the American market, some of their international developments are making a bigger and better impression. In the big UK market, the recent launches of ZyngaPlusCasino and ZyngaPlusPoker have proved to be moderately successful, but considering the potential in this country, these social gambling sites could grow considerably during the coming year.

The Capital One Cup action continues tonight as Etihad Stadium sees home team Manchester City host West Ham for the first leg in the cup's semi-final. Looking at it from all angles, it's easy to assume Manchester City will emerge victorious out of this meeting; they've got everything going for them, from their home advantage, their great Premier League season so far, and the dire situation in which their rivals are in. West Ham was trashed 5-0 in Sunday's FA Cup match against the Football League Championship team Nottingham Forest. This was another blow for the team which is already having an awful season in the Premier League. Positioned 19 th in the table, relegation is not a distant word for the East London club. Funnily enough, it was the only team keeping West Ham from being in the bottom of the table, Sunderland, which delivered a 2-1 victory over Manchester United yesterday in Old Trafford. With many injuries including striker Andy Carroll, defenders James Collins and James Tomkins and the suspended captain Kevin Nolan, it's hard to believe we'll see West Ham doing the Sunderland thing to Manchester City. The Citizens are unbeaten in 13 matches and they're behind Arsenal in the Premier League's table by one point only. Bet Live888 Sports is offering live betting on this Capital One Cup meeting. In 1X2 the sportbook is offering 1/7 on Manchester City, 17/1 on West Ham and 7/1 for a draw.

The farmer himself acts as a scatter symbol, and when three or more appear anywhere on the reels, players are rewarded with an initial 8 free spins, during which all prizes are doubled. By picking out fruit symbols before this round however, the number of free spins can go up to 33, and the multiplier value can rise to 15x the prize amounts. The free spins can be re-triggered by getting another three scatters during the round.With such a bright and fun-looking theme, it should come as no surprise that Funky Fruits Farm has become a big hit at Betfred Casino in the short time since its' release.
