Official grand opening celebration of the Core Arena

The 51st World Series of Poker (WSOP) – the longest-running, richest and most prestigious tournament series – opens its doors on Tuesday, 26 May 2020 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and will run for 51 consecutive days through Wednesday, 15 July 2020.

This marks the 51st running of the famed tournament series and the golden anniversary.

The WSOP has been a Las Vegas institution dating back to its humble beginnings in 1970 and has grown to become a global phenomenon, with record-setting numbers across the board last year featuring more than 187,000 entrants from 118 different countries and in excess of $293 million in prize money awarded.

“We can’t wait to open our doors for the 2020 World Series of Poker,” said WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart. “Summer can’t come fast enough, and we look forward to welcoming poker players from all over the globe back to the Rio in Las Vegas to award gold bracelets and hundreds of millions of dollars.”

The first bracelet events will start on Wednesday, 27 May 2020. The opening weekend signature event will be the $500 buy-in, 50,000 starting chip, 50-minute levels record-setting BIG 50 No-Limit Hold’em. With starting flights scheduled for Thursday, 28 May, Friday, 29 May Saturday, 30 May and Sunday, 31 May this exceptional value tournament will be another can’t-miss event.

The $10,000 buy-in Main Event Championship will have three starting flights, on Wednesday, 1 July, Thursday, 2 July and Friday, 3 July. Players who compete on 1-2 July, will return on 4 July to play their Day 2 if they survive their opening flight with chips. Those that begin on 3 July, have 4 July off and return for their Day 2 on Sunday, 5 July. Fields will combine for the first time on Monday, 6 July for Day 3 play and continue through Friday, 10 July, which is when the final table is expected to be reached. An off day is planned for 11 July, with the Main Event final table televised on ESPN/ESPN2 12-14 July.

Registration for the Main Event remains open through Level 6, meaning all players participating must be in the field at the end of that first level on 5 July.

The third and final event the WSOP can confirm at this time for 2020 is the popular Seniors No-Limit Hold’em Championship. This $1,000 buy-in, single re-entry tournament will take place Thursday, 18 June at 10am and is open to those age 50 and up. The final table of this event is expected to take place on Sunday, 21 June.

Now that the overall dates for the BIG 50, Seniors and the Main Event dates have been solidified, the WSOP will begin to configure the individual events and dates for the rest of the WSOP. Schedule announcements are anticipated to come beginning in the New Year laying out those events and dates.

A record 187,298 entries participated in the 2019 WSOP, creating a 50-year high of $293,183,345 in prize money. The average WSOP gold bracelet event in 2019 had a $3,257,592 prize pool.

The 2019 WSOP featured huge field sizes once again in signature events, with the Main Event (8,569), Big 50 (28,371), Deepstack No-Limit Hold’em (6,150), Millionaire Maker (8,809), Double Stack (6,214), Monster Stack (6,035), Crazy Eights (10,185), Seniors Championship (5,916), Colossus (13,109), Deepstack Championship (6,140), Mini Main Event (5,521) and Little One for One Drop (6,248) all exceeding 5,000 entrants each and combining to attract a staggering 111,267 entries. All these signature events are expected to return in 2020.

Buy-ins for tournaments at the Rio in 2020 will start as low as $75. Single table satellites and all your favorite live poker games: low, medium and high limit will begin on 26 May and run 24 hours a day throughout the seven-week series taking place in the spacious Rio Convention Center for the 16th consecutive year.

"Resume Roadmap."

Jeonbuk announced on the 20th that it has recruited FC Anyang's national striker Park Jae-yong and Jeonju University's striker Yoon Do-won.

Park Jae-yong, a former Anyang Youth Priority Nomination and active at Incheon National University for two years, made his professional debut in 2022 when he was called up to Anyang.

Park Jae-yong, who is good at post-play based on his height of 193 centimeters, played in 21 games (2 points) in his debut season and had a good debut season.
Park Jae-yong grew into the team's main striker with scoring skills in the 2023 season and was selected for the Hangzhou Asian Games team based on his performance in the league.

Park Jae-yong played for Anyang for two seasons and scored eight points and one assist in 39 league games.

In particular, Park Jae-yong, a former Anyang U18 player, made his debut in Anyang and moved to Jeonbuk, and has been in the same position as Cho Kyu-sung, drawing more attention as a post-Cho Kyu-sung.

Park Jae-yong said, "It is an honor to join the best club in the K League," adding, "I feel burdened by the modifier post Cho Kyu-sung, but I will make a strong decision and prove it in Jeonbuk."

In addition, Yoon Do-won, who has a 198cm physical condition that he joined with Park Jae-yong, is a third-year player at Jeonju University from Gwangdong High School in Uijeongbu.
Yoon Do-won, who can play as a front-line striker and a central defender, is a player who shows excellent strengths in heading and physical fights based on his excellent physique.

Yoon Do-won expressed his feelings about joining the professional team, saying, "I will be a vitality for the team with the spirit of a rookie."

Meanwhile, Park Jae-yong was assigned No. 10, which was Cho Kyu-sung's back number, and Yoon Do-won was assigned No. 50

Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors strengthened its strikers in the post-Cho Kyu-sung era.

Cuevas played for the Los Angeles Dodgers Triple-A in June after his contract was terminated last year due to an elbow injury. Cuevas also showed much better performance after coming to Korea.

He pitched in 18 games with 12 wins and an earned run average of 2.60. He made 14 quality starts, and his on-base percentage per inning was only 1.04, and his hit percentage was 0.224. He became the winning percentage king with a 100 percent winning rate, earning his first title in five years in the KBO League.

Cuevas came late, but Cuevas said that coming late helped her a lot. "I trained anew for the Dodgers and those two months have been tremendously helpful, so I have been able to pitch well in Korea since June," Cuevas said.

Cuevas also had to adapt to the new rules introduced in the U.S. Major League Baseball's pitch clock has to pitch within 15 seconds when there are no runners and within 20 seconds when there are runners. If a pitcher does not take his foot off the mound within the time limit, a ball is declared. The batter should also be ready to hit with eight seconds left. Otherwise, a strike is automatically declared. The moment a pitcher receives the ball from a catcher, the pitch clock is activated. We have to throw the ball faster than we think.

"If the new rules are applied, I think Korean pitchers will also have a hard time," Cuevas said of Peach Clark. "In the U.S., there were some injuries due to the new rules, but many players said that they were injured due to Peach Clark. I think it will be a tough time."

KBO has also decided to introduce pitch clock next season because it has seen the effect of greatly shortening the game time due to pitch clock in the Major League. Korea also has a speed-up rule for throwing within 12 seconds when there are no runners, but there was no time limit when there were runners. This time, even when there are runners, you have to throw within the time limit. KBO has not yet confirmed the time limit for the KBO League pitch clock.

LG applied pitch clock in the second team this year. As the team already played in the Major League, it was highly likely to be introduced in Korea, and LG aimed to adapt itself to the situation from the second team. The team set the clock in the LG Champions Park stadium in Icheon, and turned on 12 seconds in actual games to allow players to recognize and throw, and in training, the team allowed players to throw in 15 seconds and 20 seconds just like in the Major League.

Pitchers are very sensitive. If one's routine is broken, one's balance can be disrupted. Pitchers with slow pitching rhythm have to quickly change their routines to match the pitch clock. They should approach them carefully because they could injure themselves.

This means that you have to adapt quickly.

After launching in June 2023, Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto is now commencing operations at its brand-new and state-of-the-art poker room. The new amenity is open to patrons seven days a week and offers 30 tables while being located on a private floor and catering to poker fans’ desires. The casino also announced the debut of its ‘Bad Beat’ Jackpot.

Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto, operated by Great Canadian Entertainment, is the largest casino resort in Canada and boasts a 328,000-square-foot gaming floor. In addition to that, the resort also offers a 400-room hotel, indoor pool wellness and fitness area, several diners, private event and meeting space, and a 5000-person live entertainment venue backed by Live Nation.

The casino’s new and premium Great Canadian Toronto Poker Room started work in September under limited capacity and offers some exciting features, including a dedicated bar. In addition to that, the company noted that players at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto, Great Blue Heron Casino and Hotel and Elements Casino Brantford will combine their ‘Bad Beat’ Jackpots.

The ‘Bad Beat’ Jackpot enables an extra level of entertainment to players’ poker experiences, as the progressive jackpot, powered by contribution from every qualifying hand played in the poker rooms, provides players with an additional chance to win. Since the jackpot is rising, so does the anticipation, which makes each round of cards even more exciting for punters.

As mentioned, the new poker amenity is located on a separate private floor, and there are electronic table games and slots for those who wait in queue. The room also provides both ‘No Limit’ and ‘Limit’ stakes, making it perfect for both novice and experienced players. For those seeking more exclusive space, there is also a semi-private area with higher-stakes games and final tables.

The casino’s poker room also plans on hosting larger poker tournaments, making it a poker destination in the future, where players will be able to test their skills against others in a more competitive environment. Guests of the gaming venue can now look forward to more exciting promotions and rewards at the resort for an engaging poker experience.

Great Canadian Entertainment remains devoted to responsible gambling, as its Toronto casino which opened in June 2023, comes with two PlaySmart Centres on the gaming floor. There players can find interactive tools and valuable responsible gambling resources, as well as information on how to enroll in the voluntary My PlayBreak program if they want to take a break from gaming.

Skipping the Lines
In September 2023, the premier operator of land-based casinos announced that online registration for its Great Canadian Rewards is now available in Ontario. Before being able to enjoy the corporation’s loyalty program and perks, users are required to digitally verify their identity using the Interac® document verification service and verify information such as name and date of birth.

Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto Kicks off Poker Room Services

On Sunday, November 19, 2023, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will take on the Montreal Alouettes in the pinnacle of the Canadian Football League – the 110th edition of the Grey Cup. But it comes as no surprise that most bettors are backing the Bombers to take home the trophy, as the team will be playing in its third CFL championship final in a row, winning two of those.

But on the weekend, the Bombers will face the inform Montreal Alouettes, which are coming in hot after a major playoff upset against the Toronto Argonauts. But this was not enough to stop the lines’ move against the Montreal team, which are considered underdogs, and the spread movement tilts in favour of the Western Final victor – the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

One of the leading private operators in Ontario and official sports betting partner to the CFL, FanDuel, reported that more than 80% of its moneyline handle in for the final on Sunday was on the Winnipeg team as of Thursday afternoon. Meanwhile, on the spread, the number of bets on each team was almost matching, almost 70% of the money was on Bombers to cover.

Meanwhile, bettors on BetMGM put 70% of the wagers and 67% of the handle on the Alouettes to cover the spread as of Thursday. It opened at seven before hitting 8.5 points at odds of -110. For the total, the operator shared that 75% of the bets and 94% of the money was on the Over, which began at 47.5 and since then it remained at this position.

In addition to that, the provincially ran Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation opened Winnipeg as 9.5-point favourites for the title. On Thursday morning, the line at the Crown Corporation’s PROLINE sports betting brand was still -9.5, but at odds of +100. OLG revealed that early bets came in on Montreal, as 70% backed the Alouettes on the spread and 75% predicted they would win.

Additionally, FanDuel reported that the operator has clocked a significant increase in betting on the three-down football league in Ontario this year in comparison to the previous one. The gambling company added that player props are on the rise and predicted that they will further rise into the final when elements like weather become clearer.

Talking CFL Integrity Ahead of the Final
Ahead of the Grey Cup on the weekend, there were talks about how CFL players avoid sports betting scandals. The league puts tons of effort and technology into ensuring the integrity of the sport. But Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea believes it is simple for players and coaches as they are told not to bet on the league and those are pretty simple rules to follow.

Meanwhile, Montreal Alouettes head coach Jason Maas noted that following sports-betting-related guidelines for players was not his focus, but said that the matter is quite black-and-white. He remarked that if a player wants to play in the league, then they should not bet on its games. Mr. Alouettes said that they are all adults in the league, and they should all follow the rules.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers are Bettors’ Choice in the Grey Cup

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario has previously announced measures to deal with the increasing influx of sports betting advertising by banning celebrities from featuring in them. However, some Canadian politicians demand more, and a bill has been tabled to develop a national framework on advertising rules for sports wagering

AGCO oversees Ontario’s regulated market for online gambling and sports betting, which has attracted 47 privately owned operators since its launch. With the licensing of that many brands, it has led to an influx of gaming ads, displayed during sports games. It led to concerns among experts about the potential impact on younger audiences who are exposed to this kind of advertising.

The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport recently hosted a panel on the possible impact of sports betting marketing on Canadians. It featured Senator Brent Cotter, Senator Marty Deacon who tabled the national framework bill for the ads, Dr. Bruce Kidd, Professor Emeritus, Sport & Public Policy at the University of Toronto, Martin Sampson, and Jeremy Luke.

Ms. Deacon’s Bill S-269 is now at its second reading in the Senate, and it came in response to the public uproar for further regulation on gambling ads which have been quite prevalent since the launch of the iGaming sector in Ontario. The legislation would require the government to place reasonable limits on such ads to project children by working with province and industry leaders.

The Senator seeks to have the bill passed in the next eight-to12 months and is eager to get the legislation into the Consideration for Committee phase for a debate. A bill can become law in Canada only once both Houses of Parliament have passed the same text and has received royal assent. And panellists want to get it sorted as soon as possible.

AGCO’s Latest Efforts
In the meantime, Ontario’s AGCO is putting more effort into clarifying the recently approved advertising rules banning pro athletes from ads in the province with industry stakeholders. The iGaming watchdog has now engaged in discussions with operators such as DraftKings, FanDuel, and PointsBet. It also plans on starting talks with broadcast partners such as CBC, Bell Media, and Rogers.

AGCO has not specified when it will give more clarity on the matter. Still, it said that it has already received inquiries and requests for clarification from numerous groups that will be required to comply with the new standards coming on February 28, 2024. The regulator will now engage with those groups to deliver additional guidance to help registered operators meet the new criteria.

While working on the new regulations, the commission has also recently imposed a hefty fine of CA$150,000 on PointsBet Canada for violating the province’s rules for responsible gambling. Reportedly, the operator failed to appropriately intervene and provide help to one of its players in the province who experienced gambling issues and had lost over CA$500,0000 in three months.c

Political Resistance Mounts Against Sports Betting Ads

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission reported total gaming revenue of approximately $96 million in December 2021 at Plainage Park Casino, MGM Springfield, and the Port of Angkor Boston.

PPC, a Category 2 slot facility, is taxed on 49% of the GGR. Of that total taxable amount, 82% is paid to Local Aid and 18% is allocated to the Race Horse Development Fund. Category 1 resort casinos MGM Springfield and Encore Boston Harbor are taxed on 25% of their GGR. The money is allocated to several specific state funds under game laws.

To date, the Commonwealth has collected about $971 million in taxes and valuations from PPC, MGM and Encore since the opening of their respective gaming facilities.

Coupled with National Problem Gambling Awareness Month, Caesars Entertainment, the world's most diverse casino entertainment provider, has announced two new policies that add commitment to responsible gaming. Caesars, already a leader in promoting responsible gaming tools that allow customers to manage their games, is expanding its own exclusion program by implementing the industry's broadest universal exclusion policy, which will apply across the company's strong gaming portfolio. The company is also adopting an enhanced 21+ gaming policy that limits Caesars Rewards accounts to individuals 21 and older and limits all domestic gaming, Paris Mutual, sports and iGaming options to those 21 and older, if permitted by law.

"As the largest gaming company in North America, we have a special responsibility to ensure that everything we do is built on the solid foundation of Responsible Gaming. We take that responsibility very seriously, and these new policies reflect that commitment," said Tom Reed, CEO of Caesars Entertainment. "We're happy that now, when someone tells us that playing with us is no longer in their best interest, we're able to ensure that they're excluded from their local wealth or national exclusion programs through mobile apps. Considering our national presence and many of the offerings we offer, we are confident that it is in the best interest of our company and our community to restrict access to our Caesars Rewards database, including all gaming options and options traditionally open to people 18 and older."

The universal exclusion policy is expected to take effect by the end of March and is the largest exclusion option available in the country. Excluding limited property that has not yet been fully integrated into Caesars' IT environment, the policy will cover Caesars Entertainment's products, including Caesars Sportsbook, iGaming and offline facilities. All participants on the self-excluded list of state sponsorships currently operated by Caesars will be added to the companywide universal exclusion list for Caesars' gaming facilities and platforms. Everyone can also add to the list so that all gaming permissions are revoked, including direct and online play permission, checking monetization, extending credit, mail, marketing, free, and Caesars Rewards benefits.

Building this technological and scalable platform has been amazing and we are extremely proud of our team for the work put into bringing this new capability to life," said Jeffrey Hendrix, Regulatory and Compliance SVP and Assistant General Counsel at Caesars Entertainment. "The implementation of this new policy has been difficult, but our goal has been to provide a more comprehensive exclusion option for our players to ensure that everyone playing with us does so responsibly. We have achieved that goal and are now honored to provide the most comprehensive exclusion option in the country."

Historically, in accordance with the company's self-exclusion policy, players can request that all rights be denied for a year, five years, or indefinitely. If the player requests self-exclude, the exclusion applies to all Caesars Entertainment owned, operated, serviced and managed properties and products. The new feature will be excluded from both mobile and direct betting by adding players who choose to self-exclude via the Caesars Sportsbook app.

Keith Whyte, executive director of the National Council on Problem Gambling, said, "The NCPG has long had a great partnership with Caesars Entertainment." "We are pleased that Caesars continues to innovate in responsible gambling advertising, team member training and corporate social responsibility. The latest achievements with universal exclusion policies demonstrate real leadership in responsible gambling."

In addition to the universal exclusion policy, we have an enhanced 21+ gaming policy in place. In the first half of this year, Caesars will restrict access to the Caesars Rewards database from customers in jurisdiction who allow users under the age of 21 to use Caesars' products. Additionally, Caesars will limit all domestic gaming, Paris Mutual, sports and iGaming options to individuals 21 and older, if permitted by law. Caesars' new enhanced 21+ gaming policy sets industry-leading levels to limit gaming activities to over-21s.

"Since launching Project 21 in 1989 and establishing the industry's first responsible gaming standard, Caesars Entertainment has firmly stuck to our commitment to deliver meaningful solutions to problems and underage gaming," said Anthony Carano, president of Caesars Entertainment. "As we grow, we recognize the importance of ensuring that we support that message in a meaningful way for our entire enterprise. Establishing consistent standards regarding age limits underscores our commitment to our guests and industry."

Caesars Entertainment's new commitment to responsible gaming also includes the expansion of responsible gaming education programs, the introduction of new responsible gaming committees, funding for organizations operating in those areas, and the release of responsible gaming ads nationwide within the last year. Led by Caesars' PEOPLE PLANET PLAY framework, which provides a direction for companies to act with integrity and care for their team members, communities and the environment, the initiative includes:

- EDUCATION - Caesars has expanded its industry-leading responsible gambling education program to its sports betting business, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino. Both Caesars Entertainment and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino team members are currently receiving responsible gaming training. The program expands further to 1,600 responsible game ambassador specialized training that identifies and helps guests who may not play responsible games. Ambassador program has grown more than 60% since 2021.

- Governance - Caesars recently formed the Responsible Gaming Council with seven senior leaders to oversee Responsible Gaming policies on behalf of the company. The committee is made up of individuals across Caesars Entertainment companies to ensure that different perspectives and markets are considered in the evaluation process and that the company can act responsibly.

- Financing - Caesars' commitment to responsible gaming extends through the Caesars Foundation, a charitable giving platform. In 2022, Caesars Entertainment and Caesars Foundation donated more than $300,000 to the Center for International Responsible Gambling (ICRG), the National Problem Gambling Commission, and various responsible gaming nonprofits for research, education, workforce development, and problem gambling treatment. Caesars is also sponsoring several annual problem gambling conferences in Nevada, Pennsylvania and Arizona to support Problem Gambling Awareness Month.

Public Education - Through partnerships with the NFL and the Manning family, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino has developed several Responsible Gaming ads, including the first ever Responsible Gaming commercial to air around the Super Bowl during the 2021-2022 season. The company continues to release Responsible Gaming ads, several of which have centered around the Super Bowl during the recent NFL season and will continue to run until Madness in March. The commercial airs on NFL Network and ESPN as well as local, featuring Mannings, JB Smoove, Henrik Lundqvist, Trey Wingo and Kenny Mayne. This ad is another way for Caesars Entertainment to educate its players about the importance of responsible play, both directly and online.

"Responsible Gaming is part of our CSR framework and we strive to improve every day," said Heather Rapp, SVP of Corporate Social Responsibility at Caesars Entertainment. "We are committed to building on Caesars Entertainment's legacy by continuing to innovate in critical spaces such as Responsible Gaming. PGAM is the perfect time to recognize the importance of responsible play and what we are doing to create a better environment for our communities."


Caesars Entertainment makes strides to combat problem gambling

The road to winning the championship for the first time in 29 years is tough. LG has no time to be sad about the loss of the first game of the Korean Series and should prepare for the next game immediately.

LG lost 2-3 in Game 1 of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO Korean Series against KT at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 7th. He started off nervously, missing the 74.4% chance (29/39) of winning the first round of the Korean Series.

Starting pitcher Casey Kelly played his part in six ⅓ innings with four hits, two outs and six strikeouts. Lee Jung-yong, who took the mound afterwards, overcame the crisis with one out and runners on first and second bases in the top of the seventh inning, and Ham Deok-ju also blocked the eighth inning without losing a point.

However, Ko Woo-suk, who finished in the top of the ninth inning, suffered an unexpected blow. With two outs and a runner on first base, he gave up a huge long ball to KT Moon Sang-chul that directly hit the left fence. Left fielder Moon Bo-kyung stretched his arm to catch the ball, but unfortunately missed it, and the first baseman Bae Jung-dae rushed to the home and lost a point.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop bowed his head after the game, saying, "I really wanted to win the first game, but I'm sorry I lost." However, he said, "Overall, I don't think the sense of the game is bad, so I'll look forward to tomorrow's game."

In the second game to be held at the same venue on the 8th, the team must put the game back to square one. Manager Yeom predicted right-hander Choi Won-tae as the starting pitcher for Game 2.

Choi Won-tae joined LG in a trade during the season. LG recruited Choi Won-tae in July to strengthen the depth of the starting lineup, risking bleeding to give Kiwoom fielder Lee Ju-hyung, pitcher Kim Dong-kyu, and the first round of the 2024 rookie draft. At the time, manager Yeom expressed satisfaction, saying, "The last puzzle to win the Korean Series by recruiting Choi Won-tae was solved."

However, Choi's performance did not meet expectations. Prior to the trade, Kiwoom played with 6 wins, 4 losses, and an ERA of 3.25 in 17 games, but after wearing the LG uniform, it was somewhat disappointing. He was sluggish with three wins and three losses and an ERA of 6.70 in nine games, and was eliminated from the first division.

At the end of the season, his ball power showed recovery, but he took 39 days off after taking the mound against Doosan on September 30. Even if there are no physical problems, there are inevitable concerns about the sense of practice.

Moreover, Choi Won-tae showed weak performance against KT. He was shaken by five hits, one walk and two runs in three innings in a showdown with KT this season, and allowed four runs in two innings last year when he was playing for Kiwoom.

There is a solid bullpen behind Choi Won-tae, but the batting line's performance should also follow. It is in desperate need of a hot attack like the regular season, which has raged with the team's batting average of .279, the second most hits (1,364), the first in RBIs (714 points), and the first in runs (767 points).

"I think the pitchers played their roles overall," manager Yeom said after the first game, adding, "The failure to draw additional points because there were many leftovers in the batting line made the game difficult." As manager Yeom said, the batters had seven hits in a long and short period, but failed to gain strength by scoring only two runs.

In response to this, KT will have William Cuevas as the starting pitcher for Game 2. Cuevas previously pitched in two playoff (PO) games against NC and did his part with one win and one loss and a 4.00 ERA.

However, Cuevas showed particularly weak performance with an ERA of 11.45 in three regular-season showdowns with LG this year. In particular, he was greatly shaken by Park Hae-min (3 hits in 5 at-bats), Moon Bo-kyung (3 hits in 5 at-bats, 2 homers), Kim Hyun-soo (4 hits in 7 at-bats), Park Dong-won (1 hits in 2 at-bats), and Moon Sung-joo (3 hits in 7 at-bats).

According to information provided by the Bureau of Game Inspection and Coordination, Macau recorded 18.62 billion MOPs ($2.33 billion) for the month of August, down 35.5% from a year earlier. August marked 15 consecutive months of year-over-year decline in GGR.

Considering August figures, the cumulative Macau GGR of MOP 158.88 billion in the year to August 2015 was down nearly 36% year-on-year, but the only 1% increase was the y-o-y decline.

After the official report was released and the figures were released, the Macau government announced the implementation of austerity measures to "control public spending." By reducing government spending, officials expect to save 1.4 billion MOPs. Two measures included in the austerity plan are to freeze 10% of the budget investment plan, as well as 5% of the budget expenditure on purchases of daily necessities.

Macau's government has been able to cope with "unexpected economic fluctuations" thanks to "stable financial conditions and a sound financial system," officials said. It also stressed that strict austerity measures would not have any impact on social welfare.

Macau casino revenue continues to decline, and experts warn a 30-40% decline in yoy calculations. To help the struggling gambling industry, the government has introduced a light visa rule that requires more players to be drawn to the region.

A federal appeals court in San Francisco previously rejected a lawsuit filed by the Louisiana State Police Department employee retirement system against international casino operator Wynn Resorts for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.

According to a report in the Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper, the Louisiana City Police Employees Retirement System holds shares in Wynn Resorts and has filed a lawsuit in Las Vegas District Court.

The "shareholder derivative lawsuit," which is filed when investors believe directors and executives have not done the best job of managing the company in the best interests, was filed after Win Resorts decided to donate $135 million to the Macau University Development Foundation. Win Macao Limited's ultimate contribution was unprecedented, noting that Fernando Cui, president of the university, is the head of the Macau government, which oversees gaming issues.

The lawsuit, which claimed financial damages as well as halting additional donations to Macau universities, was dismissed by the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada in February before the investor appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said in its ruling that shareholders failed to provide sufficiently detailed arguments to support the reasoning that a majority of Win Resorts' board lacked independence. It also upheld an earlier ruling that such claims were inappropriate to show such flaws.

Wynn Resorts, which operates the Wynn Macau Resort and the upcoming Wynn Palace co-tie in the former Portuguese colony, has previously denied any improper offers and explained that the donation agreement was reviewed by lawyers to ensure compliance with U.S. anti-bribery laws.
