How is Microsoft involved in the land gambling biz?
I know they work with Bally's on some software, but it's because Bally's is using Microsoft operating sytems, and not anything special about gambling.
They were going to get involved in "The People's Lottery" in UK, but Camelot got the lottery contract, so much for that.

Mary,
I don't know what the recent Microsoft announcement regarding online gambling was about.
No, I haven't heard anything at the conference.
Microsft is already involved in the land base gambling biz so I wouldn't doubt that they will enter the online gambling market somehow.
I know that their games division has been building suite of casino games.
This industry is changing so fast. Hopefully, the online experience will also be much more fun, secure and easier!
Stephen
