Here’s What Happened This Week in mGamingHere are some of the top stories in mobile and online gaming that we’ve been monitoring in recent days.

In 2006, the Macu Gaming Inspection Bureau announced that Macu beat out Las Vegas as a gambling touring destination. Many thought this was the sign of more years to come, but gambling in Macu has been on the decline. The primary reason for this decline is China’s prohibition against promoting gambling that makes it challenging to reach Macu’s target audience.

Many believed that 2014 would be the year that many states across the nation would finally adopt some form of legalized online gambling. With the first three states of Delaware, New Jersey, and Nevada hopping on the bandwagon as quickly as they could get all of their ducks in a row last year, many predicted a domino effect of sorts for this year.

Microsoft isn’t the only company finding itself compelled to move forward with cost cutting measures this week. One of online gambling’s biggest names is feeling the same pain.

In 2007 the Sports Ministry in Russia registered poker as a “sport,” but in 2009 removed poker from the registry because poker clubs began taking advantage of the newly dubbed sport by operating illegal casinos.

It’s no surprise that Nevada proved an early pioneer in legalized online gambling, as it is already the undisputed gambling capital of the country. Since 2013, provisions have been made in regard to intrastate gambling, and Peppermill Resort in Northern Nevada decided to be the first to offer online poker along the state’s border.
