Latest News
Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has unveiled a series of elevated new gaming, dining and bar experiences, once again setting the standard for excellence in one of the country’s most exciting hospitality destinations. The stunning new gaming floor spans 25,000 square feet featuring 51 tables, five private gaming salons, a dedicated Asian gaming space, as well as a sophisticated high-limit gaming area and private bar. Guests can test their fortune at player favourites including Pai Gow Poker and Tiles, and a variety of Baccarat games, while a multilingual host team stands ready to deliver the exceptional service for which Borgata is known. The resort also introduced Noodles, a Pan-Asian dining destination renowned for its signature takes on timeless favourites, along with the reimagined B Bar, the vibrant centerpiece of the casino floor.
Merkur Gaming US, a subsidiary of the German-based Merkur Group, has been granted a license to manufacture and distribute its gaming products in the state of Nevada – thereby gaining access to one of the leading casino markets in the US. In addition, the Nevada Gaming Commission has approved Merkur’s acquisition of Gaming Arts LLC, a licensed Nevada-based gaming operator headquartered in Las Vegas and a trusted strategic partner of the German gaming specialist. It is anticipated that the transaction will close in early Q3 2025.
The Texas House has approved legislation to abolish the Texas Lottery Commission and reform lottery operations after multiple scandals have rocked the agency. Authored by State Sen. Bob Hall (R-Edgewood), Senate Bill 3070 abolishes the commission that has overseen the lottery since shortly after its founding in 1991, moving operations to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. As originally written, the bill would also limit ticket sales per transaction, require age verification at the point of sale, push the agency into a two year probationary period and provide for greater oversight of the lottery—oversight that has been either intentionally or unintentionally lacking.
New Partnerships
SCCG Management, a global leader in advisory services for the gaming and sports industries, has announced a strategic partnership with FLI Golf, the groundbreaking professional disc golf league redefining the sport for a new generation of fans, athletes and bettors.
