Just as Nevada got a taste of freedom after the lockdown, mask mandates went back into effect Friday, this late June. Not many are happy with the reinstated regulations, but very few attempt to push back against the retrogression. However, a 22-year-old man named Maison Des Champs took it upon himself to make a statement, quite a shocking one too. After losing his grandfather to suicide during the lockdown, he began to protest against the government’s infringement on freedom. This Tuesday, Des Champs climbed 60-some floors of the Aria Resort and Casino’s exterior to send a message.

Due to tribal sovereignty, Natives have permission to open casinos in areas where gambling is not permitted. However, in Washington state, sports betting has been under question for quite some time. In June of 2021, things are finally shifting towards allowing 15 Native American tribes to offer sports betting at their casinos. And although it is not yet set in stone, Washington state already approved this genre of casino entertainment. The tedious steps involved getting approval from Governor Jay Inslee, and waiting on the final decision from the federal government.

Betsson AB announced its latest report with numbers and statistics. The second quarter of Betsson’s work turned out to be record-breaking as the Q2 revenue was as significant as €186.3m (£158.9m/$189.5m), with the net income equal to €28.6 million or €0.21 per share. Though the results in Western Europe fell by about 40%, the market that succeeded was Latin America.

The former president of the United States, Donald Trump, had some plans cooking up to incorporate a casino into the Doral Miami Resort in Florida built in 2012. If you haven’t seen the resort itself, the main building somewhat reminiscent of the white house in D.C. The exterior is simply as stunning as the internals of the luxury hotel itself. Being that the Trump National Doral is such a popular destination already, it would only make sense to fuse a casino into it. The 800-acre paradise is missing but this one aspect: gambling entertainment - it’s Miami, after all. And for a while there, the Florida Gaming Compact was on its way to allow for this idea to come to life, and the path for Trump’s new casino was nearly cleared until the recent events in early June of 2021.

It’s not unusual to see successful companies buy out small businesses with potential. Owners who get tired of running their business often sell their company and seek either a full or partial exit. The big dogs typically do so for their own game and only keep the original founders on board if the brand is sold for a lower acquisition price. However, companies like Crucial Compliance operate on a more heart-to-heart level. At the beginning of April, the industry-leading compliance specialist company acquired a father and son based brand called BetProtect in order to combat gambling addictions, while also maintaining ties with the duo founders. 

The Resort World Las Vegas is getting ready for a grand opening, offering some of the most advanced technologies Nevada has yet seen. The doors to the cosmic-like experience of gambling are expected to open on June 24, 2021.

Poker is a game, but since it usually involves money, it could become a lot more than a simple form of entertainment. And if people are willing to flip a table during a game of monopoly with fake cash, imagine the anger that could surface when real money is on the line. A 61-year-old man named Joseph Berry serves as an unfortunate example of how unpredictable people can be when a Poker game goes wrong.

 Governor Doug Ducey signed Arizona’s sports betting bill into law on April 15, 2021, and the state is closer than it has ever been to unleashing the anticipated wagering opportunities. This process involves a great amount of detail, and each form of sports betting will come with its own set of rules for the operators, as well as players. And just in time for Super Bowl, the Department of Gaming released the final rules on mobile Fantasy Sports betting. Some are demanding but will aid in reducing unpleasant aftermath. 

The aftermath of an overplayed lockdown has devastated many businesses across the United States, as well as the rest of the world. Millions of establishments were forced to shut down, leaving business owners scrambling and individuals stuck without resources and entertainment. The casino industry also took a massive hit during the pandemic and is still struggling from it by a large.

Power corrupts the mind and those in power often get a free pass for their nefarious actions. Former Wynn Resorts CEO, Steve Wynn, almost managed to fly under the radar after several anonymous reports of sexual misconduct and harassment were filed against him. The case was dismissed, and the victims were rejected basic justice. However, U.S. District Judge Andrew Gordon stepped in to revive the faded lawsuit.
