Mark William Bracken, a lottery of Massachusetts, has confirmed that Massachusetts lottery will not take a traditional holiday advertising frame this year, stating that the cost of advertising has increased.

Usually, Massachusetts lottery runs a TV commercial every year. However, this is said by Bracken, emphasizing the influence of sports betting, and it would not be the case in 2023, "The Sports Betting Market has raised the amount of the hurdle and the amount of money, that is, the product. As the cost increases, it has a negative effect on all other advertisers. "

Not only has advertising costs increased, but advertising costs for Massachusetts have been significantly reduced for decades. For example, a lottery had a budget of $ 11. 8 million for advertising in 1994. In 2023, only $ 5 million was allocated, despite the intensifying competition with legal online gambling.

Massachusetts legalized daily fantasy sports (DFS) and online sports betting in August 2022. Both gambling took potential sales from the lottery, bringing more than $ 567 million to states in October 2023.

In October 2023, the sales of the Massachusetts Lottery was 7. 8%compared to October 2022, but this resulted. With the same month's victory, profits fell to $ 90. 8 million in October 2022 to $ 82. 7 million in 2023.

Deborah Goldberg, the representative of the Massachusettz lottery, proposes to increase profits and budgets as a lottery allows online products. The SB170 was submitted to the 2023 legislative session by Senator Paul Finey, based on the Goldberg input, but the bill did not progress much.

For Massachusetts lottery, this year's loss has released not only the holiday television commercials, but also the "Heroes AMONG US" Presenting Sponsor, which is held every year by NBA Boston Celtics. This is the position that the lottery has been retained since 2011.

Regarding the end of the partnership, Bracken said, "The Boston Celtics nearly tripled their sponsorship this year. So we're kind of out of the market in a lot of ways.

North Carolina mobile sports betting will not be available in time for Super Bowl

Posted: November 30, 2023 Posted by: Cory --Sports Betting

North Carolina Lottery Commission (NCSLC) Chairman Ripley Rand confirmed that bettors in the Tar Heel State will have to wait until after the Super Bowl to place legal mobile sports bets.

NC sports betting law sets January 8, 2024 as the start date for online sports betting in NC, and the new betting regulator is busy preparing for the launch. The NCSLC released proposed regulations on November 7. The commission approved these sports betting rules along with a betting catalog on November 16, raising hopes that the state could launch in January, or even in time for the Super Bowl.

However, the state lottery commission has announced that YouTube He posted an update on his channel, confirming that this will not be the case. "There have been questions raised about whether sports betting will be available in time for the Super Bowl. However, given the remaining work and the timeline set by state law, it is clear that unfortunately this will not be the case," Rand said.

The commission also announced that it has approved an application regime to begin the process of awarding sports betting licenses. Sportsbooks that want to operate in North Carolina must submit applications for one of the state's 12 licenses by December 27. The commission can extend the review period for another 30 days, which would mean a start in early March.

Currently, in-person betting is only available at three sportsbooks located on tribal lands, but the sports betting law passed in June 2023 allows for the launch of 12 online operators. Each operator will be subject to a $1 million license fee and an 18% tax on revenue.

Large companies such as Fanduel, Draftkings, Caesars, BetMGM are expected to apply for a Betting license. The British bookmaker BET365 has also signed a contract to become an official sports betting partner in Charlotte Hornets on November 17, so it is highly likely that he will apply. "Everybody at BET365 is excited about being able to partner with Hornets in launching a symbolic brand of sports betting in North Carolina," said BET365 spokeswoman.

The NCSLC Sports Betting Committee will be held again on December 6, and the next State Lottery Committee Overall Conference is scheduled for December 13.

It is a condition that you have an ace. The main jackpot was reset to $ 2, 773.

It was Rivers Pittsburgh's first big jackpot since it orchestrated a record-breaking jackpot in August 2022.

And the other great thing is, you win locally." He added that the adjacent Landing Hotel and Rivers entertainment events, which opened late last year, also attract customers from outside the area. Barnabei said he expects the Bad Beat Jackpot to grow. "We haven't seen anything like this in some markets, including ours, for a while. If this jackpot goes to six figures, everyone will know about it.

Rivers' poker room also offers a bonus payout for a royal flush, the amount of which varies by suit depending on how recently it was hit. A royal of hearts was valued at $897, but Enos couldn't claim both the bad beat payout and the royal bonus.

Oklahoma: Tribal leaders point to purchase of NBA’s Dallas Mavericks by Las Vegas Sands’s owners as a threat

Tribal gaming leaders from Oklahoma and across the country called on Gov. Kevin Stitt on Wednesday to support tribal-led sports betting as the state faces lower oil prices and potential future competition from Texas.

The call was made during "The New Normal," a weekly webcast hosted by Indian Gaming Association President Victor Rocha and Executive Director Jason Giles. They interviewed Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association President Matthew Morgan.

The webinar covered the situation of Miriam Adelson, widow of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who owns Las Vegas Sands. Adelson reportedly agreed to buy a majority stake in the NBA team, the Dallas Mavericks, for $3. 5 billion. LVS announced Tuesday that Adelson would sell $2 billion in stock to buy sports teams.

LVS has spent millions lobbying to legalize gambling in Texas, but so far to no avail. Current Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wants to build a new arena surrounded by an entertainment district that would include casinos.

Stitt, a member of the Cherokee tribe, recently proposed a plan to bring sports betting to Oklahoma, but experts and stakeholders have raised serious doubts about its feasibility and legality, Rocha said. The controversial plan has sparked lively debate and speculation.

Stitt did not tell tribes or lawmakers when he announced the plan, Morgan said. Oklahoma taxes retail sports betting at tribal casinos at a 15% rate, and the state issues mobile licenses that are taxed at a 20% rate.

"It took everybody by surprise, but once everyone read it, they were pretty negative," Morgan said. "DOA.

Jiles said that the proposed tax rate was "drawn out of nothing" and it was meaningless. Oklahoma's gambling industry has been strong, and the number of income is continuing to improve because U S-scale sports betting companies, such as DRAFTKINGS, are improving their income.

"Why are you worried about this," said Jiles. "It is a concern in California (a no n-tribal organization is trying to get a part of sports betting in the future), and it is worrisome in other places where sports betting has not been performed.

According to Jiles, Oklahoma is dependent on natural resources, and in recent years, the rising gas prices have helped the state, but crude oil prices have fallen to $ 50 per barrel. It is said that he begins to hurt to earn more.

"Rather than relying on the cycle of petroleum and energy prices soaring, it is time to once again have a positive idea, establish a transaction, and start diversifying the economy," said Jiles.

Jiles also stated that it could be implemented in other states in the future, such as Kangasas and Arkansaw, and other states, such as Missouri and Texas.

According to Morgan, the pressure on regional competition first first occurred in 2014, and Oklahoma opposed it by providing roulette and claps. The player left the state to play these games.

"This is starting to happen in the field of sports betting. It is being implemented in Kansas, Arkansaw and New Mexico," said Morgan. "In Texas, the bill (sports betting) has always moved so far, and in Texas, where parliament is held every year, I was given a yea r-t o-year postponement. Texas is open every year, so I The owner of Las Vegas Sands is about to get a chance. "

"Oklahoma has a chance to go ahead with Texas." Currently, 37 to 38 states have introduced sports betting, we are in 2016 (the Supreme Court will ban the Sports Betting in 2018. Before it, we do not have any of the risks, and we have all the money. We need to move to our benefit, and we need to be on the table. "

Morgan stated that it was a good time for State Governor to review his relationship, and added that the tribe had hoped to move forward. The governor has been focusing on how to carry out sports betting, but the problem has been settled in 2004, agreeing on the operation of model compact.

"Our member wants to focus on what is financially reasonable on both sides of the table so that we can move forward," said Morgan. "Oklahoma was expected to share a $ 71 million usage fee annually with the state. One and a half years have passed since the gaming compact was concluded. I think it was more than 2. 2 billion dollars in the $ 2. 2 billion. Many of them are caused by the employment of the game industry, but they grow around these facilities. "

On the other hand, Oklahoma's gaming is strong, and Morgan says that each tribe is investing in casino facilities. Objectives have opened two new facilities in the last two months, and the facilities in the state are under renovation. "We are convinced that our industry will continue to rise in the future."

Jiles said he couldn't understand the pessimism of the US economy, spending money while complaining about inflation. Thanksgiving holidays recorded the highest number of travelers in history.

"Prices will not go down unless people stop spending money," It's simple. It's a good time, and this is a good time for next year. "

Next Gaming CEO remains optimistic about skill-based games

NEXT GAMING's Mike Darley CEO is still optimistic that skil l-based games will have a big future for casino businesses.

In recent years, as competitors have declined, Next Gaming, the only manufacturer who is dedicated to the promotion and design of skil l-based games, has gained popularity of slots and has been introduced to more casinos in Japan and overseas. Darley says he has announced a new solution.

NEXT GAMING is currently introducing new software in Bing's Gambling Hall in downtown Las Vegas, and has set up skill-based asteroids, Arkanoid, Bust-A-Move, and Zforce. Las Vegas, based in Las Vegas, has also set up the same games in downtown Four Queens.

Next gaming's improvements to games to games in the game, by providing i n-game explanations, making the game easier, and by changing the payout, it is easier to ordinary. Darley says it has been able to provide many victorys.

"Darlley is doing our best to make these games supported by a wide range of people." We are very rare for them from conventional slot players. It is important that we have learned that it is an experience, and we will be able to understand how to play the game.

When NEXT GAMING first designed the game, DARLEY said he knew that an ambiguous player group was skilled and wanted to play at a higher level. It also turned out that most of the people who are familiar with games play from simple levels to normal levels.

"For such a player, we have corrected the calculation so that we can prize more frequently and get higher dividends." Thanks to that, they spend more time depending on the game. You can enjoy the level.

One of the reasons for continuing to be optimistic about the future of skil l-based games is the Ticket in, Ticket Out technology introduced in the slot industry in the 1990s.

"It was interesting when TITO was introduced. The habit of touching coins, putting them in a bucket, and transporting them to the cacer was rooted in the players." If you accept TITO, it will be very easy. If you accept Tito, you can. It is very easy to get the same as the same result. As far as the reaction is, we need to make improvements to the creative design, so we are still particular about this game. ""

According to DARLEY, young slot players between the ages of 25 and 45 are easier to accept play experiences than elderly players. This is the lesson gained from this machine analysis. "

NEXT GAMING's slot theme has a long history of playing in arcades around the world, and is popular in thousands of players. In addition, people who play online games accept more skil l-based slots.

"The casino we are talking about is still very strategic in the future to confirm that they are working well." And Darley said.

According to DARLEY, we plan to evaluate the modified data and see how the players are accepted, but we hope that it will be positive. "One of the problems that everyone has experienced is that the performance did not meet the expectations of the conventional slot machine, but we expect it to approach it."

In addition to fix the game and the introduction of Four Queens, NEXT GAMING offers new video reel games, Mayan Thunder, in both facilities. These two casinos include NEXT GAMING's video reel game "GRUMPY CAT" and "SUNKEN Fortunes".

Darley said that additional games were under development.

Next Gaming is also pursuing igaming applications for video games, partnering with Probability Gaming and Maltese game studio and platform ZULU Limited to release Terracotta Warrior and Katana Warrior to serve international markets including Latin America, Belgium, France, Croatia and Bosnia. The release is scheduled for the first quarter of 2024. These titles will also be installed for casino play later this year.

This segment is important to us. "Igaming continues to grow both domestically and internationally, and we plan to work with our teams to bring it to these markets."

In addition, Next Gaming is pursuing igaming applications with various partners for its Atari and Taito skill-based portfolios. Applications for real money, social games and tournament play are all options, Darley said.

"The strength of these two brands is immense. We will continue to maximize the value of our Atari and Taito portfolios, whether that be casino or online applications.

"We believe that the igaming experience is broad and being online is much more manageable in terms of introducing and modifying games in a regulatory environment," Darley said. "I think if you were playing Asteroids or any of the other games online on your mobile phone or other electronic device, it may be that you are now drawn to the casino or vice versa because you have an affinity for the games."
