BTW anyone heard anything more on Dr Ho's move into internet casino operation? There was a big publicity splurge about it a few months back but I've seen nothing since then. With the end of his Macau monopoly on the horizon I guess we'll be reading more about him soon - did you see the mega-project just announced about olcanoes being emulated at his land-based site? Big ideas and big bucks there for sure.

I wasn't expecting much from Dr. Ho, as his site would seem to be similar in many ways to the old First Live - with real live dealers. Notwithstanding the bandwidth this would require, there might have been other problems - such as lack of a license from HGN, perhaps... or dispute as to how much in licensing or management fees Dr. Ho would have to pay... who knows.

He has indeed lost his monopoly - but he has no real good reason to continue on the Internet, with what would apparently be minute compared to what his brick-and-mortar casinos took.

After all, he also owns all the ferries and hydrofoils from Hong Kong to Macau. He has enough money that his progeny for many generations will never wonder where their next meal is coming from.

Anything he does from now on is just for fun.
