Las Vegas Casino Mogul Says That Online Gambling Regulation is Coming

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Online Gambling Regulation is Coming

Phil Ruffin, the casino mogul of Las Vegas, has issued a statement saying that online gambling is going to be regulated in the coming decade.

Ruffin had spoken his mind in one of the columns in Las Vegas Sun. Why does he think so? The answer lies in the revenue potential of the online gambling industry. According to him, the revenue earning from the regulation of internet gambling is simply enormous and that’s why the US Congress would go for the well-awaited regulation on online casino gambling.

Would Acceptance of Online Gambling, by the Government, Affect Land Based Casino Business?

According to Phil Ruffin, internet gambling will not affect the businesses of land based casinos because the shows of Las Vegas casinos are inaccessible over the internet. He also added that online gambling would surely have a positive affect on the gambling industry as a whole because the internet casinos (both free and paid) are able to educate general public about gambling. This will, in turn, help in expansion of the gambling market as a whole because the total number of players in the market would naturally increase.

Phil Ruffin – About His Business Ventures in Recent Past

Last year Mr. Ruffin had bought Treasure Island Casino and Resort from the renowned MGM Mirage. At that time MGM was going through financial constraints and debt issues. Ruffin had paid US$ 775 million for thecasino called RuffinRip. Previously, Mr. Phil Ruffin owned another casino called New Frontier Casino.

Lawsuit – What was all About?

The lawsuit filed by the companies, mentioned above, has been done on the backdrop of the refusal of the Netherlands government’s decision to disallow free trade of online gambling with the constituent EU partners.
