Previously Bwin sponsored the MotoGP World Championships, Dorna Sports star product, which will now be extended through 2010. Bwin has also announced they have recently signed another sponsorship deal with the Real Madrid Football Team.

MotoGP is the oldest World Championship event for motorsport and will now feature Bwin’s corporate logo on all 17 circuits, on banners on the track, in the pit lane and the starting line. Viewers will also see Bwin’s presence in the press conference areas, in TV backdrops and even on the podium.

The Ban on online casino and land based casinos throughout Russia has been wavering in the sidelines for some time now. While the casinos were banned sometime last month, poker was still able to pass unnoticed and remain as a sport that was allowed to be played. The Russians quickly caught on and now poker is nothing but a thing of the past as well.

Russians are known to be big gamblers and many are saying this will bring outrage to the online gambling community within Russia. Online casinos were very popular within the country and many online casino brands had created versions of their software in Russian simply to comply with the needs and the demands of the Russian speaking community.

There are now only four locations around Russia that permit gambling and those places are the only location where any type of gambling including all local gambling as well as poker can be played.

While no one really knows whether the laws will stick or if they are something that will eventually be regulated and then re-launched back into play, it is true that these are rules that the Russians will take seriously as prosecutions in the Russian country is anything but pleasant.

Many other countries throughout Eastern Europe and Asia are rumoured to be close to doing the same thing with regards to gambling and if these rumours are true you may see many of these country natives travelling abroad simply to satisfy their gambling urges and desires.

The Las Vegas Sands Corporation has been said that they will be issuing an IPO with regards to some of their properties in Macau. The casino will be looking to gain some liquidity to recoup some debt that they have built up in recent years. 
 
Lenders will need to approve the sale of the debt but the company is looking to get some cash flow into their operations and rumour has it that it has been recommended to sell of the operations in Macau as a starting point. 
 
The company currently holds several billion in debt and while it is not doing as badly as in previous months this year it is not doing well either.
 
The Las Vegas sands stock is currently at $9.59 on the New York Stock exchange which is relatively high for the stock for this year but the company has seen highs of over $100 within the last 15 months and has also come close to hitting rock bottom at $1.50.
 
All of the casino and hotel companies were hit pretty hard when the recession began earlier last year. The company is doing everything in its power to tread water and the Sheldon Adleson (the CEO) is saying that he is positive that they will bounce back and be stronger than ever once the tide settles. 
 
Investors are not recommending a buy for this stock but those that are currently holding on are hopeful the numbers will once again reach the 100’s at some point in the near future.
