  • As part of its strategic expansion, BallyBet is launching a mobile sportsbook in Maryland, marking another significant step in strengthening its presence in the U.S. The launch, which launches on Monday, July 29, highlights BallyBet's rapid growth in new markets following its recent foray into Massachusetts. With Maryland added to its portfolio, Bally Bet operates in nine states, including Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, New York, Ohio, and Virginia. This expansion is particularly notable as other online sportsbooks, such as SuperBooks and Betfred, recently withdrew from the Maryland market due to strategic integration. To further solidify its growth trajectory, Bally's Corporation, the parent company of Bally Bet, last week announced a merger with Standard General's regional casino brand, Queen. The merger, awaiting approval from regulators, is poised to significantly strengthen Bally's market position and is expected to conclude in the first half of 2025. Maryland's Sports Betting Environment The mayor of Maryland welcomed Bally Bet after a successful demonstration of the mobile sportsbook platform, which was found to comply with all the procedures required by the Maryland Lottery and Game Control Board. The approval makes Bally Bet the second mobile sportsbook to be released in Maryland in recent years, after Let'sBetMD, which began operations on July 1, according to CBS Sports.

  • According to Forbes' latest annual tally, several figures in the gaming industry are making big moves, placing themselves on the Philippines' list of the 50 richest people, with Enrique K. Rajon Jr., now chairman and CEO of Bloomberry Resorts Corporation, coming in second. Rajon's net worth has surged by about $3 billion over the past year to a whopping $11.1 billion, largely thanks to International Container Terminal Services, a powerful shipping venture that has seen its shares rise nearly 80%. Casino and Real Estate Tycoon Are seeing big gains: Rajon's expansion in the casino sector, including the recent opening of a new Soler Resort North in Quezon City, adds to his real interest in various industries such as real estate and utilities. He was followed by another real estate giant, Manuel Villar, who came in third with a fortune of $10.9 billion after a $1.2 billion increase. Villar said he plans to open two new integrated casino resorts in Manila in the coming years, which is expected to further strengthen his portfolio. Other celebrities include Lance Gorkonway, who holds a significant stake in Universal Hotels and Resorts, his brothers, and Andrew Tan, founder of Alliance Global Group, which invests in Newport World Resorts, with a $1.8 billion fortune. As reported by Inside Asian Gaming, the Sy family remains No. 1 with a total wealth of $13 billion, but down from $14.4 billion a year earlier. Their wealth primarily comes from major players in the retail and real estate sectors, SM Investment Corporation and SM Prime Holdings. In addition, their partnership with Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd highlights their continued interest in City of Dream Manila.

  • Chelsea may offer Raheem Sterling to sign Manchester United Jadon Sancho, according to reports. "Chelsea is considering a swap deal with Manchester United to recruit Sancho. It could offer Sterling or Ben Chilwell as part of the deal," the British newspaper 90min reported on the 25th . Sancho was in full swing at Dortmund after playing for Manchester City Youth. He was considered the best offensive resource in the German Bundesliga for his outstanding dribbling and opportunity-creating ability. He joined Manchester United ahead of the 2021-22 season, but he failed to show himself. They even had a disagreement. Sancho, then the first substitute, disappeared from the list in the third round match against Arsenal in the Premier League last season. On the exclusion of Sancho from the list, Coach Ten Hag cited the issue of his attitude. "He did not perform well in the training. That is why he was excluded from the upcoming match," he said. Upon hearing this, Sancho immediately refuted the claim. He said, "Please do not believe what you read. I will not let people say something that is not true. I trained well this week. I believe there are other reasons not to deal with this. I have been a scapegoat for a long time. This is unfair."

  • Caesars Entertainment Corp., one of the world's most diversified casino entertainment providers, today announced an agreement to sell Rio All Suite Hotels & Casino to a company controlled by the headmaster of the Imperial Company for $516.3 million. This means strong selling prices for EBITDA multiples. Under the terms of the agreement, Caesars will continue to operate the property under the lease for at least two years and pay a $45 million annual rent. The buyer has the option to pay Caesars $7 million to extend the lease for three years on similar terms. At the end of the lease and at the buyer's request, Caesars will be able to continue to manage the Rio or provide conversion services to the buyer. "This deal allows Caesars Entertainment to focus its resources on strengthening its recently renovated portfolio of strip properties and is expected to see a gradual increase in EBITDA from those properties," said Tony Rodio, CEO of Caesars Entertainment. "Both the holdings of World Series poker and the holdings of Caesars Rewards customers are factors that make the deal valuable to Caesars." The agreement allows Rio to share unique guest data and does not limit Caesars' marketing activities. Rio will continue to be part of Caesars Rewards Network during the lease, and the deal is not expected to make any difference to the guest experience. The World Series of Poker will be held in Rio in 2020, and the hosting rights remain with Caesars Entertainment after that. Details of the transaction can be found in Form 8-K, which will be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2019, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. 슬롯사이트

  • When Aston Villa's entry into the UEFA Champions League was confirmed, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez could not hide his excitement. "Villa's celebration ceremony, which confirmed Tottenham's entry into the UEFA Champions League, was great thanks to its 0-2 loss to Manchester City." Tottenham lost 0-2 to Manchester City in the 34th round match of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2023/24 season held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on Saturday. Tottenham failed to advance to the Champions League in the next season due to its defeat against Manchester City. Tottenham made changes by employing four midfielders - James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr, and Pierre-Emile Hoibier. Tottenham faced off 0-0 in the first half but collapsed after conceding two goals in the second half. Manchester City scored the first goal in the fifth minute after Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Holan finished. Manchester City sealed the game at the end of the second half. In the first minute of extra time in the second half, Pedro Porro dedicated the penalty kick by tripping Jeremy Doku's foot in the penalty box. Erling Holan, who played as a kicker, calmly succeeded. Manchester City beat Tottenham, increasing the possibility of their fourth consecutive league defeat.

  • Was it intentional or a mistake? Son Heung-min 32 of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. is suspected of doing his best as a result of his mistake in the match against Manchester City, in which the English Premier League title is up for grabs. Tottenham lost 0-2 at home to Manchester City in the 34th round of the 2023-2024 EPL in London, England on the 15th. As a result, Tottenham, ranking fifth with 63 points, failed to qualify for the European Champions League for two consecutive seasons as it failed to surpass Aston Villa 68 points, ranking fourth, even if it won in the final match against Sheffield United. As a striker, Son had two chances to shoot while playing full-time, but was blocked by the goalkeeper. Upset by Tottenham's defeat, Arsenal 86 points finishing second was close to its neighbor and rival. Up until the match, Arsenal had a one-point lead over Manchester City 88 points. As Tottenham was tied with Manchester City by 86 points, even if it was tied with Manchester City, it was two points ahead of Manchester City in terms of goal difference, which was expected to be its first championship in 20 years. There was also a scene for Arsenal to look forward to. It was the 40th minute of the second half when Tottenham was dragged 0-1. Under Tottenham's active pressure, Brejon Johnson took the ball away, which led to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min had a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper with his unique sensual breakthrough, and a right-footed shot was caught in goalkeeper Stefan Ortega's leg.

  • Five goals and five assists in the regular league, and a great boost to confirm the early victory of his team Hwang In-beom in action against Manchester City. The possibility of Korean national soccer team midfielder Hwang In-beom going to the big leagues in Europe is ripe. Hwang In-beom, who left Olympiacos Greece for FK Tsurvena Zvezda Serbia ahead of this season, played as the main player of the team throughout the season, greatly contributing to the early confirmation of the regular league title. At the time of the transfer, there was also a negative view of moving from Europe to the Serbian league, but Hwang In-beom raised his value with his performance matching the club's highest transfer fee 5.5 million euros.
