Spanish omni-channel gambling technology supplier R. Franco Digital plans to enter Colombia’s newly regulated online gambling market via a deal with local operator Corredor Empresarial S.A.

On Thursday, R. Franco Digital announced it had agreed to supply its latest-generation IRIS omni-channel platform, along with a variety of online games and sports betting services, to Corredor Empresarial, which controls the nation’s largest commercial network of luck and chance games.

The Bogota-based Corredor Empresarial operates 25k retail points of sale across country, comprising a total of 75k gaming terminals. In addition to astrology-based lotteries and amusement devices, the company was awarded a five-year exclusive pari-mutuel sports betting license in 2014. The company also inked a virtual sports deal with Inspired Gaming Group last year.

Corredor Empresarial generated total operating income of COP 227.1b (US $78.5m) in 2016, of which COP 223.9b came via its SUPER Astro zodiac lottery game. Sports betting accounted for most (COP 3.1b) of the rest.

The German state of Schleswig-Holstein’s new coalition government says it intends to ignore the new federal State Treaty on Gambling in favor of an independent and more liberal regulatory scheme.

Last month, local elections in Schleswig-Holstein failed to produce a single majority party, leading to complex negotiations on a coalition involving the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the Green Party.

This ‘Jamaica coalition’ – so named due to the colors associated with the three parties being the same as those in the national flag of Jamaica – released its agreed upon fiscal policy positions on Thursday, which included a declaration that Schleswig-Holstein intends to go its own way on the subject of gambling legislation.

LNonline reported that the coalition intends to team up with the state governments in North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse on a new regulatory scheme “based on the rules of the Schleswig-Holstein law valid until 2013.”

Venetian Macau has cancelled the right of one of Neptune Group’s junket partners to run high roller tables on the integrated resort’s casino floor, the junket operator revealed.

The Hong Kong-listed casino junket operator has rights in sharing profit streams from four junket businesses in Macau: Hou Wan, Neptune Ouro, Hao Cai, and Hoi Long.

But in a Friday filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Neptune said that Hao Cai informed its board “that Venetian Macau Ltd had on 31 May 2017 issued a written notice to Hao Cai to terminate the gaming promotion agreement dated 30 December 2016… with effect from 30 June 2017.”

Venetian Macau holds a Macau gaming license on behalf of Sands China, a subsidiary of Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is playing a genie to Atlantic City’s casinos as he grants their wish for relief from some of New Jersey’s gambling regulations.

The Courier-Post reported that Christie will unveil additional relief for casino operators in Atlantic City within 30 to 45 days but the New Jersey governor has not specified the rules and regulations that casino operators wanted to be lifted, amended, or strike down.

Christie, who met with the heads of MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment, said the relief will “bring Atlantic City’s regulations into the 21st century.”

For the past six years, New Jersey has attempted to streamline the casino industry’s regulations, including making a casino license valid indefinitely instead of requiring costly reapplications every five years.

Christoph Vogelsang is the 2017 Super High Roller Bowl champion, and $6m richer, after beating Jake Schindler in a five-hour heads-up marathon.

In the past four years, Christoph Vogelsang has competed in the highest buy-in live tournaments without ever winning a single title.

Schindler will need some time to get over this one. The American had Vogelsang out on his feet on two separate occasions only for the river to come flooding in and drown him each time.
