Macau Legislative Council Approves New Game Credit Act

From Aug. 1, 2024, a new gaming credit law will go into effect in Macau. After the proposal was submitted, the city’s legislature approved it on Apr. 12, 2024. The proposal was unanimously “yes” by 29 lawmakers.

Terms of the new law:

On May 18, 2023, the “legal system for crediting accidental games in casinos” was officially approved for the first time. However, discussions and determining details about it to pass the final approval lasted nearly a year after the preliminary decision.

There are some conditions for providing funds to business owners. Only six concessioners in the city can take the credit, and junkets licensed by the government cannot do this. Institutions that will be allowed to issue balls on behalf of concessioners will be established, so the promoters will be allowed to sign contracts with them, lend chips, and retrieve their belongings. After that, the contract will have to be approved by the Minister of Economy and Finance.

After the first approval, junkets, known as game promoters, were allowed to lend money. However, after more negotiations, the approved provision was removed from the law.

In addition, concessions are obligated to abide by the public interest, as failing to do so would allow the CEO to remove them from the program. However, it does not specify what was considered the public interest.

All concessioners are obligated to build a credit risk system and a credit history system with a smooth system to handle all customer complaints. If they fail to do so, they will be obliged to pay the increased fines under the new law. They are also not allowed to transfer their credit qualifications to others. The stipulated fines range from $2 million to $5 million.

If the junket fails to comply with the law, the fine will be between MOP $60,000 and MOP $1.5 million.

“The law stipulates that beneficiary companies must conduct risk assessments and regulate their management when borrowing money, and record information regularly overseen by the DICJ,” said Lei Wei-Yinong, the city’s minister for economic and financial affairs 파워볼실시간

Impact on junkets:

Macau’s junkets think the new law will have a big impact on their operations in the country. According to a report by Inside Asian Gaming, they asked one of its representatives about it, and they claimed: “If a new customer wants a loan, we can only refer it to the beneficiary company, but the beneficiary company will have to re-approve that customer, which can take time. This will weaken the need for game junkets. If a customer feels that a concessionary can lend, why does he or she need to go to the game junket?”

Former LA Lakers guard Darius Morris dies aged 33

Darius Morris, a guard who played for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association, has died. He was 33.

NBC Sports of the U.S. reported on the 7th that Morris died on the 5th. “We are very sad to announce the death of our beloved Darius Aaron Morris,” Morris’ family said. “We ask you to respect our personal wishes.”
According to TMZ, Morris’ body was found in the LA area, and no cause of death was announced. “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Darius Morris,” the Los Angeles Lakers wrote on their club’s social media X.

Morris, who recorded the most assists in a single season while attending the University of Michigan, was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the 2011 NBA Draft. He played for the Los Angeles Lakers for two seasons before moving to the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2013-14 season. He played for three teams, including the Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis, that year. He spent the 2014-15 season in Brooklyn. Morris played in 132 NBA games, averaging 3.3 points per game. 토토사이트

Former University of Michigan coach John Beilein said, “I was very sad to hear the news of Morris’ death. He was our starting point guard and leader. He laid the foundation for the university’s 10-year success.”

Mateiko, the longest member of the women’s tryout

Marta Matteiko 25, 198cm, the tallest foreign player in the women’s professional volleyball team, expressed his desire to play in the V League.

Matteiko, a Polish national, received the most attention on the first day of the 2024 Korea Volleyball Federation KOVO women’s tryout at NAS Sports Complex in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. Right-handed Apojit Spiker Matteiko is the tallest player to participate in the tryout.

“Blocking is my strength. I have experienced a lot of attacking fast balls from potential,” Matteiko said, appealing to his strengths. “I’m in great physical condition. I’m happy to be in the tryout.”
In the first warm-up match on the day, Matteiko did not stand out in terms of skill or power, but hit a spike that saved the RBI. The serve was not strong, but it was accurate. He recorded two serve aces in the first set practice match. Above all, he was definitely good at creating effective blocking.

However, the height of the spike, which is known as 3 meters and 27 centimeters, was measured to be slightly lower than 3 meters. “I was disappointed with the jump as I thought I was in poor condition,” club officials said.

Matteiko never joined the Polish national team under coach Stefano Lavarini, but she has participated in international competitions as a youth team. In the 2021-2022 season, she gained experience in overseas leagues in France RC Cannes for the first time. Since then, she has played in Belgium and Spain.

It is her first time to compete in Asia. “The agent made a proposal. I’ve never participated in a tryout before, but I’m learning new things and enjoying them,” Matteiko said with a smile.

V-League is already well known among foreign players. Matteiko said, “I heard from my teammates who participated in the tryout last year that they had good experiences. They are well-organized and well-run, and fiercely competitive. I was advised that playing in the Korean league would be worthwhile.”

Berenica Tomsia, a native of Heungkuk Life Insurance, also told her about the V-League. “I don’t know much about Korea, but I hope there will be a chance to experience Korean food and culture,” Matteiko said.

Matteiko was active in Polish, French, Belgian and Spanish leagues. “I learned how to adapt as the culture is different from that of Poland. France was the most difficult but I learned many things not only in volleyball but also in life,” Matteiko said. “In Spain, I had to focus more on defense than in Poland. I learned a lot technically in Belgium,” she said, displaying confidence that she can quickly melt into the Korean league.  안전 토토사이트

Cordish Continues Lawsuit Challenging Norfolk Casino Partnership

The Cordish Companies is continuing its legal contention that the City of Norfolk breached its Waterside redevelopment contract it reached in 2013.
Cordish, a real estate developer that runs Live!-branded mixed-use entertainment, hospitality, and casino destinations across the U.S., agreed to redevelop Norfolk’s Waterside District in 2013. Cordish poured $40 million into the redevelopment and turned around the destination’s finances since the Waterside District reopened in 2017.

As part of the redevelopment agreement, Cordish’s lease says the City of Norfolk would not “subsidize or provide a performance-based grant for a restaurant and entertainment development of over 75,000 square feet similar to the project” for a minimum of 10 years.

Cordish says Norfolk partnering with the Pamunkey Indian Tribe and billionaire Jon Yarbrough for a casino resort adjacent to the city’s Harbor Park Minor League Baseball stadium violates those terms. The project, called HeadWaters Resort & Casino, is to be built less than a mile east of the Waterside District along the Elizabeth River.

Case Continued
Cordish operates three casinos in Maryland and Pennsylvania. The company is aggressively seeking to expand its gaming footprint and has expressed interest in developing casino resorts in North Carolina, Texas, and elsewhere in Virginia.

Cordish attorneys contend they should have been issued the legal rights to Norfolk’s casino opportunity authorized through state legislation passed in 2020. Norfolk voters approved the casino development through a local referendum that same year.

Cordish sued Norfolk in July 2021, seeking $100 million in damages. The company says it would have never agreed to redevelop the Waterside District if it had known that an integrated resort casino would be approved within walking distance. Cordish owns the Waterside District through a subsidy called Norfolk District Associates (ND).

ND and its redevelopment contract were crystal clear: without the City’s commitment to making Cordish its exclusive developer for casino gaming, ND would not undertake the herculean task and significant economic risks of redeveloping The Waterside,” the complaint declared.

Filed in Richmond City General District Court, a judge there dismissed the case in 2022. Cordish appealed the ruling and Virginia’s Court of Appeals agreed to hear the arguments.

The case has since slowed after a judge initially signed to the three-judge panel recused herself because of a conflict. Three state appellate judges reheard the case in December. It’s unclear when a ruling might come.

HeadWaters Delays
Ground still hasn’t been broken on the $500 million HeadWaters project more than four years after Norfolk voters approved the development.

Last month, the developers asked for additional time before presenting the final blueprint to the Norfolk Architectural Review Board. The board must approve all development projects involving land purchased from the city.

Norfolk has agreed to sell 13.5 acres of city-owned land that currently serves as a paved parking lot for the baseball stadium. The tentative purchase price is $10 million.

The HeadWaters developers say the numerous delays have been caused by an array of issues. The most recent setback came from the city receiving federal and state funds to build a 17-foot-high seawall along the Elizabeth River that required the casino plan to move slightly inland.  슬롯사이트

Women’s Volleyball

The Chinese daily newspaper, which represents the host city of the 19th Asian Games, sympathized with the Korean women’s volleyball, which had the lowest score ever, saying, “How did it get so weak?”

China’s Hangzhou Lebao said in the women’s volleyball settlement content at the Asian Games, “This tournament remained in fifth place, but South Korea was a long-time rival of China. It was characterized not only by speed and flexibility, but also by comprehensively versatile technology,” he said looking back on the past.

Hangzhou Lebao is one of the seven major newspapers in China. “Many women’s volleyball fans still vividly remember the Korean national team at the 16th Guangzhou Asian Games in 2010 held by the famous striker Kim Yeon-kyung 35, Heungkuk Life Insurance. “The gold medal match was a thrilling game,” he recalled.

The Korean women’s volleyball team advanced to the final of the Guangzhou Asian Games after shaking off its slump in fifth place at the 15th Doha Asian Games in Qatar in 2006. He was on the verge of winning the first two sets, 25-21 and 25-22, but allowed a come-from-behind defeat to home team China 10-25, 17-25, and 14-16, winning the silver medal.

“The Korean women’s volleyball team, led by Kim Yeon-kyung, who exceeded the limit, always came under tremendous pressure for China,” said Hangzhou Lebao. Superstar Kim Yeon-kyung, who watched the no-medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games off the court, expressed regret, saying, “How did you feel?”

Kim Yeon-kyung was at the Hangzhou Asian Games as an advisor to the women’s volleyball team and KBS commentator. “Chinese reporters had no choice but to pay attention to Kim Yeon-kyung, wearing a suit, greeting and cheering the players,” said Hangzhou Lebao, introducing his still presence.
South Korea faced China in Group E of the second round of women’s volleyball at the Hangzhou Asian Games, but collapsed weakly with set scores of 0-3 12-25, 21-25, 16-25. 스포츠토토사이트

“Unlike China, which launched a strong offensive, it was common for Korea to be stopped no matter what it did,” said Hangzhou Lebao. “China, which maintained its dominance throughout the game, tried harder,” he said, pointing out that the Korean women’s volleyball team at the Hangzhou Asian Games lacked not only skills but also mental strength.
