In today's episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, the team tackle two headline-grabbing stories. Hosted by CasinoBeats' Editor, Joe Streeter, who was joined by Insider Sport Editor, Ted Orme-Claye, the duo delve into two major developments in the global casino industry. First, they explore Thailand's bold step towards legalising casino resorts, following Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat’s announcement that the government will push forward with plans after receiving overwhelming public support. With 80% backing from a recent public hearing, Thailand is poised to introduce its first casino resorts, potentially transforming its tourism and gambling sectors.Next, attention turns to Japan, where MGM’s recent decision to waive its right to withdraw from the Japanese casino sector paves the way for a formalised launch of the country’s first casino by 2030. The debut project, valued at around $10bn, is set to open in Osaka and designed to boost the local tourism economy. Ted & Joe discuss how Japan's emerging market is positioning itself as a major player in the global gambling landscape, with MGM’s decision likely accelerating construction.To wrap up, the two shift to the massive night in combat sports, where UFC’s event at the Sphere collides with Canelo Álvarez’s fight on the same night. Both explore how this creates a huge opportunity for betting operators, with two blockbuster events drawing bettors in droves. The duo also discuss strategies operators can use to capitalise on this unique moment, including cross-promotions and dual-event parlays, and what it means for broadcasters as they navigate split viewership and advertising opportunities in this rare, high-stakes scenario.To read more about what was discussed on today's episode, click on the following links:- https://casinobeats.com/2024/09/10/thailand-pm-set-to-showcase-support-for-three-bangkok-casinos/- https://casinobeats.com/2024/09/09/mgm-cements-plans-for-japanese-casino-market/Host: Joes StreeterGuest: Ted Orme-ClayeProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James RossRemember to check out Optimove at https://hubs.la/Q02gLC5L0 or go to Optimove.com/sbc to get your first month free when buying the industry's leading customer-loyalty service.
