With a bill filed recently by the Florida State Senator Gwen Margolis, it is now very likely that the Sunshine State will become the eighth state in the nation to sell lottery tickets online. Right now, interested customers can only get their tickets by going to a land-based outlet and paying with cash. However, a new alternative seems to be just around the corner and more people will have access to the Florida Lottery via the internet. Increase in revenue One of the major benefits brought up by Margolis in his statement is that an online lottery would increase the number of players and this would increase the revenue for the state. The lottery is already one of the biggest fundraisers in the state as it has raised $27 billion since its introduction in 1988. Another alternative being considered is building a new resort casino in South Florida, with the Las Vegas Sands Corp. pushing for it in the gambling compact negotiations. However, the Senator believes that the added revenue from the lottery going online is a lot bigger than new revenue coming from another casino. Details to be sorted out The bill backed by Margolis does not include details about how exactly the Florida Lottery would become available on the internet. There are still several aspects that need to be covered and with only one page explaining how the change would work, there are some concerns regarding the bill actually passing. The only mention is that the Lottery will have the needed authority to offer an online program and make tickets available for purchase on the internet to customers of the age of 18 and older. Looking at some of the other states that have online lotteries, the payment methods can vary quite a bit, from the special prepaid card only usable for lotteries in Georgia to the credit cards accepted in New York.
London games provider Nektan has forged an agreement with Leo Vegas to supply Nektan's proprietary mobile games to Leo Vegas, making the Malta-based provider the first among its group of licensing partners to go live with Nektan's games. Integration Process The implementation of the agreement will take place through the integration of Nektan's remote gaming server into the Leo Vegas casino platform, so that Leo Vegas can launch content specific to mobile and tablet devices. Nektan's COO Matt Sunderland expressed his delight with the new partnership: “Leo Vegas is a leader in mobile casino gaming and we believe our games can help with their continuing growth,” Sunderland said of the benefits of the partnership. Partnership Benefits The significance of the deal for Nektan lies with the fact that Leo Vegas now becomes the first content licensing partner to go live with Nektan games, a step in the direction of implementing and expanding Nektan's mobile games portfolio. Leo Vegas CEO Johan Styren was effusive with the new agreement, saying: “We are excited by the prospect of Nektan’s mobile games portfolio on our mobile casino.” Styren was quick to further affirm the pride Leo Vegas takes in its new competitive position offering “the broadest suite of quality mobile games in the world today.” Technological Components The organization's current investment in the Evolve RGS platform as well as the game studio roadmap represents technological components which solidify new strategic licensing content partnerships for the expanding company in the coming months. Hopefully, the deal will also provide a boost for Nektan's stock in London, which has fallen 20% to 190 pence per share since its initial public offering earlier in the month. Current Performance Shares in Nektan plc (AIM:NKTN) are currently trading at 190.00 pence per share in London this morning, a fall of 20 per cent from the placing price at its initial public offering earlier this month. The ambitions and bold agreements Nektan are forging are designed to stimulate trading and value in an environment where positive change is necessary to stay competitive.

Dortmund's "Cup Final" At the present moment, Dortmund is in need of every point it can get.

In 13 season games, Dortmund gained 11 points only. The team won three matches, drawn 2 and lost in eight matches. With the current situation, each game for Dortmund is seen as a cup final. The reasons are many: Injuries, bad tactics, bad transfer decisions and a general disorientation in the team. Speaking of tonight's match, esteemed manager Jurgen Klopp told press that the game tonight is "high noon" for the team. Hoffenheim At this certain point for Dortmund, no team will be an easy target with which to climb out of the slump, and this certainly applies to Hoffenheim. Positioned seventh in the Bundesliga table, Hoffenheim sits on 20 points composed of 5 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses. Their game against Hannover last Saturday ended an impressive 4-3 in favor of the Hoffs. Hoffenheim can be proud of their impressive amount of 21 goals scored this season. Dangerous quick combination attacks put all their rival defenses at hazard with players such as Firmino and Volland. Whatever happens this is sure to be a high adrenaline game with intense action.

Despite the fact that online gaming is not fully regulated yet worldwide, Dutch gaming authorities and Malta’s Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LGA) have entered into a deal to start a relationship between the two agencies. Multi-national Regulatory Integration The integration of one country's gaming authority with the regulatory body of another is a move seen as capable of streamlining the regulatory environment within Europe. This move will also likely accelerate the adaptation of online gaming into the Dutch regulatory environment by as soon as mid-2015. Dutch GA Take Dutch betting and gaming authority Kansspelautoriteit CEO Marja Appelman had the following public comments following the signing of the letter of intent: “...the signing of this document is a vital move forward for development and unity of regulation practices among countries that wish to legalize online gambling and poker.” She further expressed her appreciation for what she believed was an effective method for the Netherlands to develop an understanding of best practices for full regulation, and saw added benefits for online and land-based casino operators as well as consumers. Malta Take Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority Chief Executive Officer Joseph Cuschieri expressed his happiness of proof positive of the fact that the two jurisdictions shared regulatory principles for online gaming. Cuschieri further explained that the agreement will serve to assist in consumer protection by increasing the safety of gambling services provided through optimized monitoring systems. Ongoing Dutch Regulatory Strategy The move was consistent with Dutch regulatory strategy dating back to November 2013, when Netherlands regulation authority chairman Jan Suyver told the media of the Dutch Authority's intent to find strong cooperation among counterparts in Europe. At that time, the gambling authority Kansspelautoriteit sought to work closely with counterparts in other countries on a standardized model of regulation. This latest alliance is a tangible step towards the realization of that streamlined vision of efficiency for online regulation worldwide.
The European Poker Tour sponsored by PokerStars is moving to Prague for one of the biggest stops on the circuit and also the last of this year. The action is set to start on December 7th and it will include an array of options across 59 separate tournaments that even feature new formats like Irish Hold’em and Super Hold’em. €50,000 Super High Roller One of the major changes made to the Prague schedule this year is the addition of a Super High Roller Tournament with a buy-in of €50,000. This will be the event with the highest buy-in ever to be held in the Czech Republic and it also guarantees that it will attract some of the biggest players in the world looking to get a share of the prize pool. Among the early confirmed participants for this tournament there are the winner of the EPT Barcelona Super High Roller event Oliver Busquet, Asia Championship of Poker title holder Fabian Quoss and PokerStars’ Team Pros Ike Haxton and Jason Mercier. €5,300 Main Event It is safe to say that the Main Event will be the highlight of the stop and Prague has seen a large number of players make their way to the tables over the past several years. With over a thousand participants for the EPT Prague Main Event last year, the chances of exceeding that figure are very good this time around. Needless to say that big names will be on the felt and so will amateur players willing to put down €5,300 for the chance to play with some of the best in the game and compete for the big prizes. Other highlights of the Poker Festival include the WCOOP awards ceremony that will see online champions collect their prizes. Fedor “CrownUpGuy” Holz won the WCOOP Main Event this year for $1.3 million.
