In the United Kingdom and the Gambling Commission regulator has announced the imposition of a £9.4 million ($12.5 million) fine against the 888 UK Limited subsidiary of prominent online casino and sportsbetting operator 888 Holdings Limited.

The watchdog used an official press release to declare that the penalty also includes an ‘official warning’ as well as a requirement for the firm to ‘undergo extensive independent auditing’ and was instituted after an investigation uncovered a number of ‘social responsibility and money laundering failings’.

Second sanction:

The Gambling Commission asserted that 888 Holdings Limited is responsible for 78 domains including 888.com, 888Casino.com and 888Poker.com and was hit with a £7.8 million ($10.4 million) fine in 2017 for ‘failing vulnerable customers.’ It moreover noted that the most recent penalty comes just weeks before the government is expected to publish a raft of ‘white paper’ gambling reform proposals that could well encompass increased affordability checks to ensure punters can afford the amounts they are wagering.

Hofstra University wrote an open letter concerning the proposed construction of a Las Vegas Sands casino resort at the Nassau Coliseum site in New York. The university highlighted the educational significance of the area and said that it opposes the project because of its proximity to numerous learning institutions.

Hofstra Highlighted Its Activity in the Area

“We, Trustees of Hofstra University, oppose Las Vegas Sands Corporation’s proposal to build a casino in the area surrounding the Nassau Coliseum on Hempstead Turnpike in Nassau County, Long Island,” the letter begins.

Hofstra noted that it has occupied its current site for almost nine decades and has grown from a liberal arts college to a big university with thousands of students. It employs around 2,500 people and is a major economic driver for the town, country and state, the letter says.

Hofstra added that it is а nationally recognized arboretum and the only university to have hosted three US presidential debates in a row. The university also spoke about its community-orie…

Only a few weeks remain until The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom makes its debut on Switch consoles, but that long wait won’t be filled with endless hype trailers and teasers. Nintendo debuted a final pre-launch gameplay trailer this week, but if you’re looking for some Hyrule ambience to add to your life, you can leave the main theme for Tears of the Kingdom on an endless loop between now and the middle of May.

The Japanese website for the Breath of the Wild sequel now has the game’s official theme playing on it, and over on Twitter, Actual Aero has extracted that sound and posted it online. It is, what archeologists of ancient Hyrule would call, a certified banger.

Local multiplayer–especially during the pandemic–has been deemphasized in a whole lot of modern games, but LG’s latest projector could make it irresistible. The HU715Q laser projector offers 4K resolution with HDR, and with a picture size up to 120 inches, everyone will be able to see the action in your multiplayer games.

Using LG’s “Ultra Short Throw Ratio” technology, the HU715Q needs very little distance to project a huge picture. For a 100-inch display, it needs less than nine inches of space away from the wall, and for an 80-inch display, it needs only about half that distance. It also supports HDMI eARC, so you can quickly connect it to a sound system and control it all through one remote for easier setup before a big gaming event. It also features its own built-in 2.2-channel 40W sound if you don’t want a separate system, and you can connect two extra Bluetooth speakers wirelessly if you want a surround-sound effect.

The HU715Q features four-corner, 9-point, and 15-point warping functions to account for any inconsistencies on the wall you’re using to project the image. The remote features a motorized focus function to adjust the image from afar, as well.
