The Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division have submitted a hotel price fixing statement to the District of New Jersey. It was filed in the ongoing case of Cornish-Adebiyi v. Caesars Entertainment, as announced earlier this month. This case revolves around the utilization of pricing algorithms by casino hotels, a practice that is increasingly drawing regulatory attention. In their statement, the agencies address hotel price fixing, and clarify that hotels cannot collaborate on setting room prices or employ algorithms to carry out actions that would be considered illegal if performed by individuals. The spotlight has been on…

 April 19, 2024 Everyone else is doing it, so now there are plans for Ellis Island Casino renovations. The off-Strip property is making plans to expand their gaming floor and install a brand new sports book area. The resort will increase the property by more than 6,400 square feet, as indicated in the planning documents submitted to Clark County.

They allege that that the actions taken by the FTC and Khan have infringed upon their rights as guaranteed by the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment. This clause…

Some of us were really hoping for an expansion of online gambling in America. Specifically, the regulation of online casinos in Maryland and Maine, among other states. But as usual, politics got in the way.On April 8th, the Maryland General Assembly concluded its session without taking any action on internet gambling.  The setback is significant for the state, which was seen as having some of the best odds for expanding gambling options. And while online casinos in Maryland have failed, the state was not alone. Ten days after the Georgia General Assembly adjourned without legalizing online sports betting. Bummer, eh?…
