Ep 545: 'Absheron Las Vegas', Kenyan Gambling Tax 'U-Turn' & Thailand's Casino Legalisation

On this episode of iGaming Daily, the iGaming Expert team, Editor Joe Streeter and Business Journalist, Christian Lee, takes a closer look at three key markets making headlines in the global gambling industry.

First up is Kenya, where a recent tax reduction on gambling activity is expected to drive greater player engagement and deliver new growth opportunities for operators in the region.

Attention then shifts to Thailand, as political uncertainty continues to cast doubt over plans to legalise land-based casinos and integrated resorts. The hosts discuss what these delays could mean for potential market entry and the broader Southeast Asian gambling landscape.

Rounding off the episode, the conversation moves to Azerbaijan, where ambitious proposals to develop casinos on artificial islands are starting to take shape. Could this bold strategy position the country as a new gaming destination? All this and more on today’s edition of iGaming Daily.
