Canberra Casino gets green light for multi-terminal table games
Gamblers in Canberra Casino can now play baccarat, roulette and sic bo using individual screens.
In the past, the Aquis Entertainment-operated casino can only offer rapid roulette as a semi-automated table game, with the rest played as traditional table games. This week, however, saw the ACT government extending the Canberra Casino’s license to finally allow multi-terminal games on its casino floor, The Canberra Times reported.
Under the extension, the number of Canberra Casino’s number of terminals will more than double from the 22 terminals previously used for rapid roulette to 50 for the multi-terminal games, according to the news outlet.
The casino is required to have a dealer “present at all times” to man the terminals.

Vietnam takes down $340M football betting ring
Authorities in Vietnam busted a sports betting ring reportedly worth more than $300 million in the northern part of the country, local media reported.
According to Thanh Nien News, the underground betting ring—which mainly dealt in football—had a total bet value of VND7.6 trillion ($340 million). Investigators said Bui Khac Hien, who lived in Hanoi’s Thanh Xuan District, operated the website, whose servers were hosted overseas.
Players, mostly from northern and central cities in Vietnam, used fake names and addresses to avoid detection, police said.

Ether decouples from bitcoin as it inches closer to record high $20 value
Given the craziness surrounding bitcoin today, one would almost forget that its cousin—the ethereum blockchain—is doing great as well.
But ethereum is not having any of it.
Unlike other digital currencies, ethereum proved this week that it is one of the most resilient cryptocurrencies out in the market today.
Analysts have been speculating the possible link between bitcoin and ethereum, after the latter showed robust transaction activities in the weeks when its older, more established cousin experienced modest trading volumes. The two currencies, however, failed to show this so-called “negative correlation” this week, when ether saw its value increase at the same time as bitcoin.
