| Macau stops casino expansion |
| No more licenses will be granted |
 Macau, one of the most important gaming and casino centers of the world, announced this week that it will stop the granting of new licenses and the allotment of land for the construction of casinos. In the last few years, Macau has opened its doors to Las Vegas giants, such as Wynn and Sands.
Edmund Ho, Macau’s Executive Chief, was in charge of making the announcement that no more land would be allocated for the construction of new casinos in the territory. Ho explained that, besides social tension in the enclave linked to the boom of gaming, the new policy adopted by Macau comes from the wishes of Beijing. |

| Waiting for the law to change |
| Gambling Operators wait for legalization |
 Online Gambling in South Africa is still illegal, but a new Bill has been put recently in place that changes the whole gambling scenery in this country. It is up to the National Council of Provinces whether or not it is accepted as a law.
Quite a few online companies have communicated their idea of moving their operations to South Africa, once the bill has been approved. Two major gambling companies, The Victor Chandler International Group and the Bwin Interactive Entertainment are already working to open in the country in the near future. |
