I do not know if the future will be long and prosperous for the Indian tribe because the legalization of online casinos in this American state will destroy their plans. I think this is the reason for which the billionaire will sell that casino. Online casinos enter the market and attract many players and this is not good for big casinos . The good way would be for them to open online.

if he sells his casino for such fabulous money, that means he has a buyer and this buyer will make a profit just like he ... of course online casinos are now very popular .... you do not need to go anywhere ... you can sit at home in your underpants or without underpanties and play any games and tournaments

nice... built a casino for 800 millions, operated for almost 10 years and pocketed some profit in this time and on top of this sold same casino for 1.3 billions= whooping 500 millions of profit. great deal if you ask me. not sure I think the same about the purchase though
It's very good that online poker is gradually coming back to the United States. I hope that sometimes we, poker players, will again have an opportunity to play with americans. I miss a lot old times before the Black Friday.

Imagine being able to sell something for 1.3 billion dollars!! There is always money to be made in casinos but, with the boom in online gambling, the profit margins cannot be high enough

$1.3B Dear Sheldon Adelson Could you provide my bank account with some of this money? Maybe $1M will be enough for me, and it's not even 1% of this huge amount of money, you make from this sell. What do you think?

the problem is that these people who make billions they are on a different level and want to make even more money. Many dream to get famous through billions of dollars, euro or something else. Celebrity brings even more money and the thirst for power makes them do not give up their business so easily.

What is the future of online poker? Hypothetically, if Internet gambling, including Internet poker, becomes regulated in most states of the United States in the foreseeable future, which online gaming operator would most likely reap the benefit of the legalization of Internet gambling in the US?
