Topic: Nevada Biggie Selects Isle of Man Forum: Winner Online

MGM Mirage is one of the billion dollar Las Vegas land-based gambling operations which announced a couple of weeks back that instead of awaiting the legalisation of online gambling by the Nevada Gaming Board it would look elsewhere to set up an internet gaming arm. At the time the chief executive, Jim Murren said that they would be highly selective in their approach and that he wouldn't touch ninety percent of offshore licencing jurisdictions "...with a ten foot bargepole"

The Isle of Man has clearly found favour and this will be good news for the island if they set up the support and finance infrastructure for the online operations there.

The Isle of Man: 3G pace setter, the world's biggest working water wheel and now this...

MGM Mirage, one of North America's biggest casino groups, is poised to set up operations for an online casino on the Isle of Man.

The Isle has recently legalised online casinos and plans to issue three operating licences in September this year, the Financial Times reports.

If MGM Mirage bids successfully, it will be the first US casino firm to set up an offshore gambling website.

The Isle of Man has received a total of 11 applications for the three licences from groups in Africa, Europe and the US.
