Regulation Change
Regulators increase
their scrutiny of licensees operating in international jurisdictions where
money-laundering and currency law violations are common. Meanwhile, regulators
and lawmakers throughout the world are developing new regulatory structures to
identify, discourage and combat the use of casinos for money-laundering because
of a worrisome trend for law-enforcement professionals. On the other hand, because
of a growing interest, regulators become friendlier with gaming. They serve as
partners and protectors in an effort to protect gaming revenue. Governments
will tend to increasingly authorize commercial gaming as a huge part of tax
revenues. Gaming operators have less pressure in lower tax rates which can
better compete against neighboring countries.
