Online betting sites wary of G2E
| 13 November 2006 |
As reported by: Las Vegas Review Journal
No one would confuse today's popular gambling Web sites with Bugsy Siegel's Flamingo.
But the American government's decision to crack down on Internet gambling will be felt this week in Las Vegas when the head honchos of the land-based gambling industry gather for the annual Global Gaming Expo trade show and convention.
At least five Internet companies have pulled out of the Las Vegas show, and industry experts say recent arrests of Web-gambling executives make online gaming operators leery of coming to the United States.
"I think that trend started this summer when the executives started to be arrested and incarcerated," said Sue Schneider, publisher of Interactive Gaming News.
David Carruthers, former CEO of BetOnSports, one of the largest Internet gambling companies in the world, was arrested in July by American authorities in Dallas as he was traveling to Costa Rica, where the company has an office.
