Daily Asia Gaming eBrief: Thailand’s new IR bill lacks an online component

Good morning. Things are good, but they could be better. In the case of Thailand, experts laud what has been done so far to push through legislation aimed at opening up the nation’s first IR before Japan does. Despite the progress, the lack of an online component within the legislation has been criticized, as it could open up another massive revenue stream, Meanwhile, in Macau, satellite casino operators say that they’re being left in the dark about what will happen once the transition period ends this year, pushing to maintain some type of status quo to support their non-gaming operations.
