Sony's latest gaming device does NOT cut out retailers as this titles infers. There is still plenty of business for retailers to capture in this category with the PSP Go including hardware and accessory sales as well as pre-paid game cards (similar to Apple's iTune gift cards).

Great News for Slot Manufacturers, If Legislature Agrees
August 31, 2009
Analysis by: I. Nelson Rose, Distinguished Senior Professor,Home Meet Governor Crist | www.flgov.com
Gov. Crist had until 11:59 pm tonight to reach a new agreement with the Seminoles. He did, giving them unlimited slot machines in seven locations. But it also gives them blackjack and other table games in all seven casinos, which the Legislature had limited to two counties. Therefore, the new Compact is just as invalid as the last one he signed, unless the Legislature signs off on this one, to get the billions of dollars of new revenue.

Analysis by: I. Nelson Rose, Distinguished Senior Professor,RPT-Q+A-What does illness of gaming king Ho mean for Macau? | www.reuters.com
Macau's government's cap on junket commissions came just in time. Keeping high-roller baccarat profits with casino operators is very good news for Macau’s casino concessionaires and their many partners. The deal was brokered by 87-year-old Stanley Ho, now in intensive care after brain surgery. If Ho does not recover completely, fights for succession could break out. Instability in China is never a good thing for outsiders trying to do business there, and may directly impact American casino

Good News for Harrahs, Possible Break-Through for PartyGaming
August 7, 2009
Analysis by: I. Nelson Rose, Distinguished Senior Professor,Senator Menendez Online Poker Bill Barney Frank on Steroids | www.gambling911.com
A companion bill to Barney Franks' in the House, by Robert Menendez in the Senate, greatly increases the chance Internet poker will be made legal next year. Both bills favor land-based gaming companies getting into the act. But they differ on whether gaming will be limited to poker, and whether operators like PartyPoker, which pulled out of the U.S. market after the passage of the UIGEA in 2006, will be allowed back in.

Companies Gearing Up for Intra-State Poker Will Dominate Internet Gambling
April 27, 2009
Analysis by: I. Nelson Rose, Distinguished Senior Professor,Calif. Poker Bill Unveiled | igamingnews.com
Harrah's is rumored to have hired Mitch Garber, former CEO of PartyGaming (PYGFM), to head its World Series of Poker and online gaming operations. PYGFM itself settled with the federal Department of Justice, and is looking to now get back into the U.S. Rep. Barney Frank had to delay repealing the UIGEA, but the states are moving ahead with intra-state gambling, particularly poker in California. And the operators who get in on the ground floor will be in the best postion to control the entire U.S. market.
