The Internet has changed lives in a number of meaningful ways. It has unleashed a great transformation that has allowed access to information and services through a swipe or a click. Over 85 percent of Americans use the Internet and there are over 900 million users of social media around the world on any given day. As the Internet continues to fuel innovation for American consumers, Tribal governments are rightly pursuing all online opportunities as instruments for economic growth.
The results of a recent Fairleigh Dickinson University Public Mind poll first reported on by Wayne Parry of the Associated Press do not bode well for online gambling advocates, as respondents were decidedly opposed to legalizing online gambling by over a two-to-one margin; 27% for and 63% against, with 10% undecided or without opinion.

Luck is running out for the high rollers of Hong Kong’s stock market.
The Sun Herald newspaper reports that Tilman Fertitta from the family that operates Station Casinos and The Golden Nugget, is less than optimistic on the immediate commercial promise of online gambling.

Candy Crush maker King has reported a revenue of $606.7 million for Q1 2014, with 143 million daily active users spread across its offering of games.
