Adelson rails against reefer as Sands’ former VIP/alleged meth dealer extradited
Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson is doling out millions to keep US states from decriminalizing marijuana use just as one of his former high-rolling gamblers is extradited to Mexico to face drug-related charges.
There are five US states – Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada – that have recreational marijuana referendums on November’s election ballot while four others – Arkansas, Florida, Montana and North Dakota – are considering regulating medical marijuana use.
Just as the Las Vegas Sands owner made it rain for anti-pot groups in the 2014 election cycle, Adelson (pictured, scowling) is cutting fat checks to keep fat blunts out of the hands of US adults. Adelson has given $2m to an anti-pot group in Nevada (his current home state), $1m to a similar group in Massachusetts (the state of his birth) and a further $1.5m in Florida (where he wants to build a casino).
Adelson’s anti-pot opposition extends to the rent-a-scribes at his recently acquired Las Vegas Review-Journal, whose editorial board now opposes the pro-marijuana measure it so wholeheartedly endorsed prior to Adelson taking the reins.

Rota gaming regulators sued for revoking casino operator license
Saipan’s casino regulators aren’t making things easy for junket operators looking to steer VIP gamblers to the island’s only casino.
On Wednesday, the Saipan Tribune reported that the Commonwealth Casino Commission (CCC) had returned the applications of some of the 18 junkets looking to do business with Imperial Pacific International’s Best Sunshine Live casino.
The CCC issued its first provisional junket license last month to South Korea’s Big Bang Entertainment and said it welcomed other junket applicants. But CCC exec director Edward Deleon Guerrero now says that some of the applications failed to provide the requested information, leaving the CCC no choice but to “turn them back.” Guerrero said some of these rejected applicants had already resubmitted their applications.

British Columbia pol under fire for Amaya investment
A member of British Columbia’s governing political party is under fire for his investment in Canadian online gambling operator Amaya Gaming.
On Tuesday, Business In Vancouver reported that public disclosure documents showed Liberal MLA Jordan Sturdy (pictured) purchasing an unspecified amount of shares of Amaya, the parent company of online poker giant PokerStars, on December 18, 2015.
Amaya is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and purchasing shares in the company isn’t against the law. But the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) provincial gambling monopoly runs its own betting site, PlayNow.com, with which PokerStars directly competes, making the optics of Sturdy’s investment choices easy fodder for critics.
David Eby, gambling critic of the opposition New Democratic Party, said it “reflects poor judgment on the part of a parliamentary secretary to be involved with a grey market gambling company in this way. I don’t understand why [Sturdy] would think it would be appropriate to profit from grey market activities in BC, but that’s the personal judgment I guess he has made.”

Novomatic, Kambi team on omni-channel sports betting lottery technology
Austrian gaming outfit Novomatic Group and Swedish online betting technology provider Kambi Sports Solutions are teaming up to help state-run lotteries diversify their product offering.
On Tuesday, Novomatic subsidiary Novomatic Lottery Solutions (NLS) and Kambi Group announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to fuse Novomatic’s lottery platform with Kambi’s sports betting technology to provide a full-service, omni-channel gaming solution to government-regulated lotteries.
The dynamic duo will showcase their new service – which will operate under the co-branded ‘NLS Sports Betting – Powered by Kambi’ moniker – at next month’s World Lottery Summit in Singapore.
The omni-channel product will place particular emphasis on interactive gaming, an area that most state lotteries have yet to fully embrace but one they need to adopt if they wish to retain the interest of younger demographics who have shown less interest in traditional lottery products.
