Month: July 2024

Recently, Ontario announced that it would lift some restrictions on health and safety throughout the state’s business, including casinos. This series of news is warmly welcomed by Niagara Casino, which is now rebuilding its business and slowly trying to return to normal operations and activities.

The unprecedented situation has been very difficult for the land gambling industry, as casinos have had to be shut down several times since the outbreak in March 2020. Most recently, the company’s two casinos closed for nearly a month in January this year, but indicators such as deregulation suggest the industry may soon recover.

Niagara Casino President Richard Taylor recalled that the company with the Casino Niagara & Fallsview Casino Resort is one of the largest employers in the Niagara Falls area with more than 3,500 employees. He said the January reopening had summoned nearly 2,200 employees by the company and is expected to summon more when restrictions are lifted.

Taylor explained that the unprecedented situation is quite heavy for employees, with some employees taking emergency leave for infectious diseases. This program allows up to three days of paid vacation. According to the company’s president, there is also a provision for unpaid, occupational protection leave. The company will also recall employees based on customer level and ability to reopen all amenities.

Beyond that, he has made it clear that over the past two years it has been difficult for the company to operate at limited capacity or not at all, but understands the need for restrictions on health and safety, supports Ontario’s public health guidelines, and shares his company’s joy to work again in the province.

In addition to gaming activities, the two casinos will witness the return of dining facilities and live shows. The Avalon Ballroom will open next month. The Jersey Nights show begins to have fun. The president also resumed dining options, adding that the hotel is in operation and that everything is currently in order.

The casino, which celebrated its 25th anniversary at Niagara Falls in December last year, has welcomed more than 100 million gamblers every year since its opening, featuring a special menu at LEV2L to commemorate it, and the casino was illuminated in the company’s trademark green and gold colors.

Casino Niagara and Fallsview Casino Resort both bring tremendous economic value to the region, as they receive about $20 million in CA annually from Niagara Falls. Last year’s closure of the two properties resulted in a budget gap of about 19.1 million CA because the municipality received only 3.9 million CA, Acting Finance Officer John Levens said not long ago.

Coach Hong Myung-bo held a press conference at the Korea Football Center in Sinmun-ro, Seoul on Tuesday to select the coach of the Korean national team. Hong first apologized to fans of Ulsan HD and K-League, and started his inaugural speech. After discussing management plans and philosophy, he had a Q&A session.

What drew most attention was the story of the appointment process. Coach Hong Myung-bo, who had consistently expressed his objection to the post of coach of the national team, was surprised when he suddenly accepted the offer after meeting with director Lee Im-saeng on Tuesday. Since then, at a briefing on director Lee Im-saeng and explanation of the Korea Football Association, it was confirmed that Coach Hong had no interview-type meeting, which led to controversy over preferential treatment and appointment of the coach, as well as recruitment irregularities.

Coach Hong Myung-bo said, “On July 5, director Lee Im-saeng came to our straw. We had a long conversation at the meeting. He explained the philosophy of Korean soccer technology and asked my thoughts. As a manager and executive director, I honestly talked about my philosophy, operation plans, and Korean soccer technology philosophy. After hearing what I said, director Lee Im-saeng earnestly asked for the coach position and accepted it after all night of consideration.”

In addition, “The philosophy that director Lee Im-saeng said was the technical philosophy of Korean soccer, MIK, and the connection between the national team. I talked about the life and management plan of the national team that I experienced. The series of situations that took place in the national team after I left the executive director of the Korea Football Association was heartbreaking. Problems with the 2022 Qatar World Cup and the 2023 Asian Cup came to mind. I started to think about the words of director Lee Im-saeng that I needed my role. As I kept thinking, someone said I should play this role. I thought I could be a better person even if it wasn’t me, but I thought this was my last job, so I decided,” he said.

Also drawing attention is whether Chung Mong-gyu is involved in the scandal. Chung Mong-gyu is the most criticized figure at the center of various controversies over the national team. He recently published an essay and said, “I suggested the post of chairman of the association in Hong Myung-bo,” and continued to make remarks with excuses and complaints, sparking controversy again. He was also involved in the process of appointing a national team coach, drawing suspicion that he neutralized the Korean national team’s power reinforcement committee and only carried out his personal opinions.

At the briefing on Friday, Lee Im-saeng said, “I only reported to Chairman Chung Mong-gyu about the three final candidates that were decided by the Korea Electric Power Enhancement Committee. As I heard that I would meet all three candidates, I delegated all my authority. The decision to appoint Hong Myung-bo was also reported to Vice Chairman Kim Jeong-bae at the end. I did not report to Chairman Chung Mong-gyu,” denying his involvement.

The Korea Football Association also said on the 22nd, “Chairman Chung Mong-gyu told Director Lee Im-saeng that he would trust the judgment and agree to the choice when the technical director Lee Im-saeng met the three final candidates in Europe to continue the interview and verification.” He expressed his intention in advance that he would not present his opinion or direct the decision of the top candidate. Later, when Director Lee Im-saeng said he would report the results to the chairman after the meeting in Europe, he said, “You don’t have to report to me directly about who he finally chose.” In response, he told Kim Jeong-bae, the vice chairman of the Korea Football Association, that he was Hong Myung-bo among the three, and asked him to proceed with the contract. In this situation, he explained, “I am saying that I did it myself transparently by giving the chairman the authority.”

New York Senator Joseph P. Adabo Jr. seeks to capitalize on the recent success of Empire State’s newly regulated mobile sports betting market. Last Thursday, Sen. Bill S8412 was submitted to the New York Senate, which would legalize the state’s offering of iGaming, further expanding the local gaming market to a new level.

The state officially launched its online sports betting scheme in early January 2022, and the market is already beating all kinds of records. During the first month of operation, the market reportedly generated more than US$2 billion in total transactions, and the senator believes the iGaming scheme will benefit the state as well.

Mr. Adabo, who has become a major advocate for mobile sports betting, has big plans for New York’s gaming industry and especially the iGaming sector. His Bill S8412 would allow licensed casinos and game operators to offer certain iGaming products online for local residents. According to the bill, it will include online slots and table games.

Unlike the online sports betting tax rate of 51% of operators, the Senator’s proposed iGaming tax rate is valued at 25%, which is much more advantageous for operators who want to join. The bill also stated that it would not tax promotional game credits for the purpose of determining total revenue from interactive games.

According to the summary of the bill, Empire State is expected to generate about $475 million in state tax revenue annually due to legalization. In the first year, we will collect approximately $150 million in one-time licensing fees from casinos, operators and independent contractors.

The bill also charges casinos and game operators a one-off fee of US$2 million each, requiring independent contractors to use operators’ iGaming platforms and pay US$10 million in one-off fees, and the country could be a leader in the game as well, according to the success of the mobile sports betting market.

The total throughput of mobile sports betting is now at $2.4 billion, according to the latest report by the New York State Game Commission. This is from January 8, 2022 to the week ending February 13, 2022, the Super Bowl weekend. It is estimated that the state has generated more than $78.5 million in revenue over the five weeks to date.

In addition to the online gaming industry, New York is seeking to expand and improve the land-based gaming industry. Last week, the New York State Senate revised a bill that outlined the criteria for selecting ideal candidates for three Downstate Full Casino licenses. The Senate informed that the New York State Game Board would be tasked with determining the appropriate tax rate for the operator.

But the launch of the Ontario-regulated iGaming and Sports betting market for private operators is less than a month away. Operators approved by the Alcohol and Gaming Board of Ontario and iGaming Ontario may not advertise promotions such as subscriptions or welcome bonuses.

Ontario is Canada’s most populous state and the introduction of a regulated iGaming market has attracted much attention from industry leaders who want to take advantage of it. The state previously announced that the new scheme would begin on April 4, 2022, and approved operators are applying the final steps to their online products.

AGCO and IGaming Ontario, two regulators in the gambling industry in the province, have not given operators permission to advertise welcome bonus promotions such as risk-free betting and welcome bonuses. And recently, Paul Burns, president and CEO of the Canadian Game Association, talked about how such marketing will work in the province.

Mr Burns pointed out that these special promotions could not only be posted on the operator’s website, but could also be available to players in their databases. But according to him, such marketing cannot be put in their ads. He added that online casinos licensed to operate in the province are also not allowed to advertise such limited-time offers.

In addition, the president and CEO said competition in the Ontario market would be based entirely on the operator’s products, not on who could get the biggest welcome bonus. According to him, it will be quite different from what gamblers have seen in the United States, and licensed operators will have to be creative to attract customers.

Because industry standard subscription bonuses cannot be advertised in the province, operators have already taken some steps to adapt to the new market. For example, BetRivers Canada offers the opportunity to use sportsbooks and casinos as play options. PointBet Canada, on the other hand, has sought help from local culture icon Trailer Park Boys and is working as a brand ambassador.

Last week, Ontario learned one more operator’s name, licensed by AGCO and iGaming Ontario, to operate in the upcoming marketplace, and the name is 888. The company is a leading online betting website, and in April of this year, exclusive technology will allow premium iCasino, sports betting and poker products to be released to eligible Ontarian gamblers.

Another problem that provincial regulators are concerned about is how operators can prevent players from participating outside their jurisdiction, and the leaders of geofencing service providers are Location Smart and Geocompley. Both use different methods of determining players’ positions and have pros and cons, but location smart has previously worked with the Ontario Lottery and gaming company.

This week, leading sports book operator Bet365 announced a shift from Canada’s gray market to a state-regulated market. The company is pleased to be able to join the regulated iGaming and Sports Betting Market, approved by the Ontario Alcohol and Game Commission as a regulated online sports book.

Ontario’s open market for private operators after initial delays is now set to begin on April 4, 2022. This allows approved brands to legally offer online gaming or sports betting products to gamblers in the state. The market attracted a lot of attention in Canada in the summer, as did decriminalized single-game bets.

Bet365 has been part of Ontario’s gaming sector for quite some time, but is now officially licensed by the company’s regulators. The company’s mobile app offers the same features and products as before, but from April 4, 2022, the app will need to provide location verification so that it can verify that it is within local boundaries.

Globally, the app boasts a user base of more than 63 million, is licensed by the Gibraltar Gambling Commission and employs more than 4,000 individuals. Canadians already have access to casino titles, poker games, last but not a few slots, as well as an operator’s app that offers a variety of sports betting opportunities.

Also, this month, it presented a special event for all Canadian and American sports bets who are fans of March Madness. The app offers a tremendous opportunity to accurately predict the results of 63 games and earn CA$6 million. In terms of probability, the probability of getting all matches right is 9,223,372,0362,085,775,8808.

The offer is available to new and qualified online bets located in Great White North or the United States. In addition, participants must be 18 years of age or older and be identified by the company. However, if the player cannot guess all the games, the top 250 winners remain on the leaderboard.

There are 888 other gray market operators already operating in Canada and approved to participate in the regulatory market. The company announced earlier this month that it had received permission to join from AGCO. When the market opens, the company can launch an impressive portfolio of iGaming products iCasino, sports betting and poker for eligible Ontario gamblers.

Last week, Rush Street Interactive shared that it received regulatory approval to join the Ontario market on March 10, 2022. Illinois company CEO Richard Schwartz said obtaining an Ontario iGaming license is an important milestone for a company that already offers Betrivers to the state but in the form of social free-play games.

The latest news emerging from Ontario’s gaming segment confirms that independent sports books and sports betting technology provider Kambi Group is set to join the state’s market. This week, the company announced it had been approved by the Ontario Alcohol and Game Commission to join an open eyegaming and sports betting regime for private operators.

After being previously delayed by AGCO, the highly anticipated launch of the market will take place on April 4, 2022. Upon LIVE, licensed game and sports betting operators can legally offer online products to eligible ontarians within the state’s borders. Operators can also offer a single event bet recently introduced in the country.

Now, with regulatory permission, Kambi Group can operate regulated game-related vendors and provide game services to other licensees in the market, providing sportsbook technology services to companies that can be used as sports betting service platforms in the province.

Kristian Nylen, CEO and co-founder of an independent company, said she was thrilled to be one of the first sportsbook providers to obtain a license to operate in the region. He said the license is a breakthrough, and a demonstration of the company’s expertise and complete compliance record, the company will be ready to deliver its products from day one in the market.

Recently, Martha Oton, executive director of iGaming Ontario, a subsidiary of AGCO, issued a statement on the new market. According to her, Ontario consumers should know that all approved operators have met strict standards for gaming and operator integrity, fairness, player protection and social responsibility. Therefore, players can expect a safe and regulated gaming environment.

Mr Otton also added that preventing minor access while ensuring compliance with applicable laws, including anti-money laundering rules and regulations, is only part of the iGO’s measures to provide a safe environment. In other words, local markets will generate revenue that is critical to the local economy, while providing improved entertainment options.

So far, AGCO has licensed a series of famous game companies to enter the local iGaming market. For example, earlier this month, FanUnit received a gaming-related supplier certificate from the Commission and is currently preparing to conduct it live in the province with the grand launch on April 4, 2022.

Rush Street Interactive, an Illinois-based online gaming and sports betting company, will also join the Ontario regime. Companies that already offer social games in the province via CASON4Fun®, a free gaming platform, can now launch incontinence products. This includes the Bet Rivers sportsbook app, which supports the same gameplay, and the iGaming platform, which utilizes various P2P slot tournaments.

Yeo Gap-soon (50) former coach of the shooting national team, the gold medalist at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, said in a trembling voice in a phone call with Yonhap News on the 29th.

Coach Yeo Gap-soon congratulated his student Ban Hyo-jin (16, Daegu Athletic High School), who won the gold medal in the 10m shooting air rifle at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and praised him.

Coach Yeo said, “[Ban] Hyo-jin said he only wanted to advance to the finals ahead of this Olympics, but I thought he would be able to win a medal,” adding, “I must have been very nervous, but I overcame the pressure well.”

Coach Yeo Gap-soon is the “original high school girl rifleman” who won the gold medal in the 10m air rifle at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics while attending Seoul Sports High School.

Coach Yeo has developed many prospects by walking the path of a leader after retirement, and has also directly coached Ban Hyo-jin as a full-time coach of the national team’s candidate.

Coach Yeo said, “Ban Hyo-jin worked harder than anyone else in the last winter training and wore the national flag,” adding, “Before going to the Paris Olympics, I asked her to buy me something delicious, but when she returns to Korea, I will buy Hyo-jin’s favorite malatang and tanghulu.”

He also said, “Ban Hyo-jin has a cheerful personality, unlike the former shooters,” and added, “He has a strong personality enough to raise his hand first and say he will do it when he sings during a break.”

He added, “It seems that the unique confidence and boldness have led to today’s results.”

In Korea, high school girls performed exceptionally well in the 10m Olympic shooting air rifle.

Coach Yeo Gap-soon and Kang Cho-hyun, who won a silver medal in the same event as the 2000 Sydney Olympics, were also in the third grade of Yuseong Girls’ High School at the time.

Director Yeo, who recalled the Barcelona stage 32 years ago, said, “I think young age is a big weapon,” adding, “Because I’m young, I feel less pressure on the big stage.”

Coach Yeo Gap-soon also talked about the Korean shooting team’s great performance at the Olympics.

“Korea’s shooting has experienced a slump, but it seems that the generational change has been successful,” Yeo said. “There are many candidates who can win the gold medal in the future. I think I will be able to achieve the best performance ever.”

The best performance in the Olympics was at the 2012 London Games, where Korean shooting won three gold medals and two silver medals.

Park Ha-joon (KT) and Geum Ji-hyun (Gyeonggi Provincial Office) won silver medals in the 10-meter air rifle mix on the 27th, the first day of the Paris competition, and Oh Ye-jin (IBK Industrial Bank) and Kim Ye-ji (Imsil County Office) swept gold and silver medals in the women’s 10-meter air pistol final on the 28th.
