The debts have risen to the enormous figure of 248 million dollars, that you can not proceed with the ordinary. Since the procedure was presented Chapter11 (not triggering the transfer of assets), the public hopes that the property can continue to operate as usual during the whole procedure.

The main reason given for the difficult situation which requires the company to search for liquidity is closely linked to the recession that has robbed the casinos and gaming halls in hotels attached.

But every shadow creates a zone of rest for others. In fact over the last two years there has been a boom in online gaming. Have multiplied the sites that let you gamble with many of the “hobbies” that were once only in theaters. It is not like being around a green table with lots of blacks and sunglasses dealer with the crisis but learns to adapt.

Dscussione is the theme of the bill, submitted by the Chairman of the Commission Barney Frank, for market regulation of betting and online poker in the USA. It seems that finally something has moved within the American system that finally, at least of great surprises, try to make a move that could lead to the coffers of the state several million dollars.

The proposal reads on Agipronews is well supported by 69 political between Democrats and Republicans and is observed with special attention by the Poker Player Alliance and the game industry in general, after June 1 is the entry into force of the Deadline ‘UIGEA which required banks to block all transactions between players and poker sites.

It seems clear the new strategy applied to the online games market by American authority, if you can not beat an opponent You have them ally. It ‘was this the motto of Jim McDermott, representing the seventh congressional district of Washington and a member of the Democratic Party, which had anticipated all advancing the idea of a new law to counter the flop came with the UIGEA Deadline.

McDermott proposed a new regulation, called the Internet Gambling Regulation and Tax Enforcement Act (IGRTEA), with the idea of creating a tax system that deal with various tax laws all companies that offer poker and online gambling in the territory of USA, regolamentarizzare virtually the entire market.

Under this new bill all online gaming companies licensed by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) should pay a tax of 2 percent on all funds deposited by players online. Following this new tax regime McDermott estimated a revenue for the state of over 25 billion dollars for the first five years after enactment.

The new tax in this way would be paid solely by the operator of the game on the Internet and would not be deducted from the deposit of the player. The idea is not at all displeased at the highest political leaders who have recognized the failure that UIGEA has not only increased the numbers of online gambling illegal.

Even the PPA (Poker Players Alliance) had tried to warn the authorities that the Deadline implemented with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act would never be effective because it could act bans some small adjustments.

In addition, the UIGEA, which is water on all sides, was never really defined a national law because in some places the law in question refers to the decisions of a network of federal, state, local and tribal peoples to determine what is permission.

Finally it seems that American policy has noticed that this law should not be any good and that everyone, players and managers who, calling for liberalization of online gambling in the U.S., given the repeated failures also obtained from those who want to permanently lock .

The climax of the excesses of youth was instead the murder of Stephany Flores, a young Lima. The body of Flores was found in the hotel room of Van der sloot and the two met at the poker table during a tournament in a local casino, for this murder, the boy confessed after several interrogations. You can now blame the former player in the last game of torture Internet. The macabre game is widespread among Peruvians: Torture in Joran, the former Dutch poker player is sitting on an electric chair and players must inflict the largest number of electric shock, do not die, the goal is to make him confess. A game, which increasingly feeds the myth of this troublesome boy, simplifying a ‘terrible reality in a virtual game in bad taste.

UIGEA regulation is in full effect, but still online poker sites do not appear as an empty desert and post apocalypse. At this moment, 41.356 are playing cash games on PokerStars and other 17.532 at Full Tilt Poker, according to the website traffic of online poker PokerScout. “I had already announced that this date would not be a catastrophic event for poker players that would see the dimming of the online sites in the U.S.,” said John Pappas, executive director of the Poker Players Alliance. “I think there will always be channels through which players can deposit. It should not have effect on the deposit ACH (Automated Clearing House) or those outside the system of credit. So it should take effect even on people who want to deposit money on the sites.

” The PPA has had no response from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke about the petition to clarify the effects of the UIGEA on games like poker. In this case, no news is bad news. “We have not received any notification on the acceptance of our petition but either no notification has been declined,” said Pappas. “I think we can accept the petition even after the entry into force of the law but this is very unlikely. There expect most banks to comply fully with the regulations. However, we have heard from several people who can still make deposits. ” What will the UIGEA now we know only a couple of weeks. Players must be patient with deposits and withdrawals will be clearer and the consequences. By law, the PPA will focus its efforts to push Congress to a new regulation that prohibits Americans to participate in what is traditionally one of the most popular games in America. “Our efforts are always concentrated in two directions, to see what you can do to counteract and delay the UIGEA, which we did successfully in the past four years, and try and get the regulation and licensing of online poker “Pappas said. “The next step will be the presentation of Barney Frank (his draft law on the authorization and regulation of online gaming to the House Financial Services Committee), which will take place in July. We’re focused on this and will do everything possible to get the best possible result from this vote. “

The economic crisis has certainly had a great influence on the implementation of this technological effort by gambling in Sin City. The applications available are many and varied. To control the points accumulated on the casino club where it belongs, or to change the hotel room booked, not to mention the check-in done via phone.

Surprisingly, it seems that these technological innovations are not adopted with enthusiasm by the younger players (always over 21, we in the U.S.) but they are also from older customers. Harrah’s has already launched many of these services via the iPhone in its largest casino, the Cesars Palace in Las Vegas.

From the economic point of view has not yet been checked whether these technological innovations introduced in the casinos bring new gains. Regardless of this casino can not stay back in time, although roulette and blackjack are played on real wooden tables and green cloth. MGM has also prepared custom iPhone applications for customers of its casinos.

After being approved by federal representatives, the project will go to the Senate, to pass through another vote.

The leaders of allied parties have already expressed their intention to vote for the project. It is not a priority for the government, but we do not hamper the vote, “said Representative Cândido Vaccarezza (PT-SP), Head of Government in the House. He also acknowledged that the issue is controversial, but said that the current situation of bingo halls is worse.

“There are bingo halls operating illegally in a different location, without legislation. It is a good step for the legalization and control, and prevention of organized crime that dominates the industry,” he said. The prohibition of bingo has popular support since 2004, when President Lula vetoed the game for the first time. At the time, as confirmed by studies, the majority of Brazilian citizens were in favor of the restriction.

The author of the project that legalizes the bingo, the representative Arnaldo Faria de Sá (PTB-SP), said that the amendments included in the proposal the issue more acceptable. “Part of the money raised is allocated for health services, an area in need of resources. The online control also serves to ensure that bingo halls are used by organized crime,” he added.

Against the legalization, the representative Mendes Thame, rejects the argument. “The expenditure necessary to control the game does not compensate for the value of the crop. And we know that will stimulate the vice, crime and corruption,” he said. Furthermore, he commented that he sees no possibility to obstruct the project to the Chamber. “Maybe it will be possible in the Senate,” said Thame.
