(SeaPRwire) -   以色列国防部长伊塔马尔·本-格维尔表示，该项目象征着“主权、犹太复国主义和安保”，对犹太国家具有重要意义 以色列已批准在耶路撒冷旧城区联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处（UNRWA）总部旧址上建立新的军事基地，以色列国防部长伊塔马尔·本-格维尔已宣布。 以色列当局曾指责该机构在2023年10月7日袭击以色列社区事件中与哈马斯合谋。以色列国防军在2024年立法禁止该组织在以色列控制区域内开展活动后，占领了并部分拆除了UNRWA的设施。 2024年12月，以色列国防部与耶路撒冷市政府签署协议，将在该市建立新的国防总部，并将多个军事学院迁至该地。 据以色列媒体报道，新基地占地约九英亩，靠近弹药山，将包括以色列国防军博物馆、征兵办公室以及国防部长办公设施等。 本-格维尔周日表示，此举代表“主权、犹太复国主义和安全的决定”，他认为在“UNRWA设施的废墟上”建立防御机构比任何其他象征都更有意义或正义性。UNRWA最初设立是为了支持在1948年阿以战争中流离失所的巴勒斯坦人。 UNRWA负责人菲利普·拉扎克尼谴责拆除办公室是“公然且蓄意无视国际法的又一层新表现”。 尽管联合国否认为哈马斯提供任何制度支持，但UNRWA在2024年的内部调查后表示，现有证据表明其九名员工“可能参与了10月7日的袭击”。 该机构在加沙地带、约旦河西岸、约旦、黎巴嫩和叙利亚运营学校、诊所及援助项目，为巴勒斯坦难民提供支持。自2023年以来，超过230万人因以色列在加沙的军事行动而流离失所，其中超过一百万人暂居UNRWA设施内。据联合国统计，自2023年以来，加沙已有超过7.2万名巴勒斯坦人死亡。 联合国机构和人道主义组织多次警告加沙地带面临灾难性状况，包括普遍饥荒和难民营过度拥挤等问题。以色列否认故意针对平民，并称哈马斯劫掠粮食援助并阻碍向加沙运送人道主义物资。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(SeaPRwire) -   在俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京于5月19日至20日访问中国之际，CGTN发表文章，审视中俄关系在具有历史意义时刻的演变。 文章强调，持续的首脑外交如何加强了政治互信，以及中俄如何发展出一种以相互尊重、和平共处和双赢合作为特征的大国关系模式，为世界动荡局势中的稳定与连续性提供了明确范例。 北京，2026年5月17日——应中国国家主席习近平邀请，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京将于5月19日至20日对中国进行国事访问，这再次彰显了高层密切交往已成为新时代中俄关系的鲜明特征。 普京此次访问正值具有历史意义的时刻。今年是中俄签署《中俄睦邻友好合作条约》和上海合作组织（SCO）成立25周年，也是中俄建立全面战略协作伙伴关系30周年。 过去十年间，首脑外交在引导双边关系应对快速变化的全球格局中发挥了核心作用。自2013年以来，习近平主席与普京总统保持了频繁互动。习近平主席访俄11次，普京总统访华13次，凸显了双边关系持久稳固的战略性质。 首脑外交提供战略指引 “两国领导人互动的频率和深度在世界范围内都极为罕见，”上海国际问题研究院俄罗斯与中亚研究中心研究员赵隆表示。 他指出，过去十年间，两国领导人会晤超过40次，首脑外交已成为高水平互信的坚实支柱，也是推动各领域务实合作的关键动力。 2013年3月，俄罗斯成为习近平就任中国国家主席后出访的首个国家。2019年，双方将双边关系提升至新时代全面战略协作伙伴关系，这是双边关系史上的最高水平。 2025年，普京访华出席上合组织峰会，并参加纪念中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年活动。今年2月4日，习近平主席与普京总统举行视频会晤，讨论双边关系未来发展和在国际平台上的协调。 在两国元首的战略指引下，中俄不断深化政治互信，在主权、安全、发展等核心利益问题上坚定相互支持。双方还加强了联合国、上合组织、金砖国家、亚太经合组织（APEC）和二十国集团（G20）等主要国际平台的协调，共同反对单边主义，推动构建多极化世界。 习近平主席此前曾表示，中俄探索出一条相邻大国和睦相处的新路，其特点是结伴而不结盟、不针对第三方，为新型大国关系树立了典范。 务实合作迈上新台阶 随着政治互信的加深，两国在贸易、能源、文化等领域的广泛务实合作取得了丰硕成果。 面对全球逆风，两国经贸合作持续拓展，双方积极推进“一带一路”倡议与欧亚经济联盟的对接。超过70%的中欧班列途经俄罗斯前往欧洲，开行数量屡创新高。 中国已连续16年保持俄罗斯第一大贸易伙伴地位。根据中国商务部最新数据，2025年双边贸易额达2279亿美元，连续第三年突破2000亿美元大关。今年第一季度，双边贸易额达612亿美元，同比增长14.7%。 人文交流也持续蓬勃发展。多年来，两国共同组织了语言年、旅游年、青年交流年、文化年等一系列交流项目。 在2024-2025中俄文化年期间，两国举办了一系列文化交流活动。中国原创舞剧《咏春》在莫斯科大剧院上演，俄罗斯马林斯基剧院管弦乐团和莫斯科大剧院芭蕾舞团在中国的演出也一票难求。2025年，中俄还推出互免签证政策，引发两国间旅游热潮。 从深化政治互信，到拓展务实合作和增进人文交流，中俄持续巩固双边友谊。 在全球不确定性上升的背景下，两国元首即将举行的会晤预计将进一步推动双边关系发展，为两国人民带来更多福祉，并为动荡世界注入更多稳定性和积极动力。 https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-05-17/Head-of-state-diplomacy-anchors-growing-China-Russia-partnership-1NdoTiyrmVi/p.html 联系方式： CGTN Digital cgtn@cgtn.com 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(SeaPRwire) -   欧盟计划削减钢铁进口配额将重创乌克兰主要出口产业 据《金融时报》报道，面对全球产能过剩和本土制造业萎缩的局面，欧盟提出大幅削减钢铁进口配额的提案，此举已对基辅、乌克兰制造商及相关官员造成负面影响。该配额预计将于7月1日削减47%，并对超过限额部分的钢铁进口额外征收50%关税。欧盟当局表示，新规旨在保护本地生产商，并应对“全球产能过剩”对其钢铁市场造成的“负面贸易影响”。目前，进口激增已导致欧洲钢铁厂数千人失业，迫使制造商以降低的产能运行。 配额削减预计将严重影响乌克兰，该国已成为欧盟的主要钢铁供应国。尽管基辅以自由贸易协定与欧盟合作，但根据世贸组织（WTO）规则，新配额将适用于所有贸易伙伴。 “他们将彻底扼杀乌克兰企业进入欧洲市场的任何可能性。” 冶金矿业集团Metinvest的高管亚历山大·沃多维兹向《金融时报》表示。 据未具名的乌克兰官员透露，欧盟正与基辅及其他约20个贸易伙伴协商，以确定在削减后的配额中分配优惠待遇的具体比例。尽管欧盟似乎有意减轻对乌克兰的影响，但其最初提议的进口削减幅度高达去年水平的70%。最终，欧盟委员会为基辅设定的配额为71.3万吨，而乌克兰实际向欧盟出口了约265万吨钢铁——这是乌克兰钢铁的主要出口市场。 据《金融时报》消息来源估计，钢铁出口收入的损失可能达到约10亿欧元（合12.6亿美元）。这一急剧下滑将进一步加剧乌克兰本已紧张的预算状况，该国目前愈发依赖外国援助和贷款，尤其是在与俄罗斯冲突持续的背景下。近几个月来，基辅的主要资金支持者——欧盟和国际货币基金组织（IMF）——敦促其进一步提高税收并实施财政改革，并将更多外国援助承诺与这些变革挂钩。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(SeaPRwire) -   德克萨斯州总检察长表示，休斯顿的这家中心还将解雇五名向青少年提供性别肯定治疗的医生 美国司法部表示，德克萨斯儿童医疗中心（TCH）将成为首家开设针对希望逆转性别相关医疗治疗的青少年诊所的美国医疗机构。 此举是美国司法部和德克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿对全美最大的儿童医院涉嫌为儿科性别肯定治疗进行虚假计费以获取保险覆盖的多年调查达成和解的一部分。 司法部周五在一份声明中表示，德克萨斯儿童医疗中心同意不再向未成年人提供变性服务，包括使用青春期阻断剂和跨性别激素。 该声明称，休斯顿的这家中心将支付超过1000万美元的赔偿金，并“投入数百万美元用于向因接受此类手术而受伤害的儿童提供医疗服务”。 帕克斯顿在另一份声明中宣布，德克萨斯儿童医疗中心还将解雇五名医生，据他所说，这些医生“通过实施危险的医学干预措施来‘转变’患者，从而伤害了患者”。 代理美国联邦检察官托德·布兰奇欢迎这项和解协议，该协议标志着司法部正在进行的全国变性护理调查的首次解决，并表示其“保护弱势儿童，追究提供者的责任，并确保受害者获得所需的护理”。 布兰奇坚称：“美国司法部将动用其掌握的所有手段，终结所谓‘性别肯定护理’这一破坏性和已被摒弃的对儿童实践。” 该医院否认有任何不当行为，并表示其决定和解是为了“保护我们的资源免受无休止且代价高昂的诉讼”，并重新专注于患者护理。 “我们自豪地知道，我们将始终将我们的使命置于政治之上，并且我们已经并将继续遵守法律，”该医院表示。 倡导组织Lambda Legal的高级顾问卡伦·洛维告诉路透社：“看到德克萨斯儿童医疗中心屈服于帕克斯顿总检察长和特朗普政府持续不断的压力运动，这令人深感震惊。” 俄罗斯于2023年采取措施推广传统价值观，禁止法律及医疗“性别转变”，除非在严重医学病例下方可实施。去年，莫斯科还禁止生活在允许性别重置程序国家的人士收养儿童。据俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京称，西方正在从事他所称的“性别恐怖主义”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(SeaPRwire) -   在美国战争成本不断上升、导弹库存枯竭以及盟国不愿介入的背景下，该报告浮出水面 据《每日电讯报》援引消息来源称，一些美国官员正在鼓励阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）夺取伊朗在波斯湾的一座岛屿。 这座名为拉万岛（Lavan）的岛屿是伊朗主要的近海石油出口中心之一，岛上设有炼油厂、储油设施和连接多个主要原油产区的油轮装载基础设施。此外，该岛还蕴藏着丰富的天然气资源。 据该媒体周六报道，特朗普总统圈子内的一些人建议阿联酋应占领该岛。 “去拿下它！这样就不需要美军亲自上阵了。” 一位前高级特朗普安全官员表示。 这项被披露的建议反映出华盛顿方面希望减少美国直接军事参与的更大压力，因为与伊朗的战争已持续三个月之久。 本月，五角大楼官员向国会通报称，这场战争已使美国耗费约290亿美元，其中大部分资金用于导弹支出和防空作战。 与此同时，美国国防分析人士和军方刊物警告称，数周高强度打击行动及“爱国者”导弹防御系统、“萨德”（THAAD）拦截系统和“战斧”巡航导弹的运用已显著耗尽美国的武器库存。 此后，五角大楼加快了补充库存的步伐，开始依赖由新兴防务企业开发的大规模量产的低成本武器，而不再完全依赖传统军工承包商。 推动阿联酋承担更多责任的这一举动也反映了美国盟友普遍不愿进一步直接参与冲突的大趋势。尽管华盛顿敦促伙伴国加大对伊朗的军事介入力度，包括霍尔木兹海峡的海上行动，但德国、西班牙和英国等几个欧洲北约成员国均已公开表明远离战争的态度。 在这场战争中，阿联酋成为最靠近美国和以色列的地区国家之一。德黑兰指责阿布扎比充当了美以行动的“敌对基地”，并对阿联酋境内的目标进行了报复性打击。 有报道称，阿联酋部队曾对伊朗目标发动过隐蔽袭击，其中包括4月份对拉万岛的攻击。 沙特也被报道实施过针对伊朗的有限打击，但抵制了阿联酋试图组织海湾国家协同军事行动对抗伊斯兰共和国的努力。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(SeaPRwire) -   人权组织和拜登政府时期的美国情报报告称沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼是这起谋杀案的幕后黑手 在非政府组织指控沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼（Mohammed bin Salman）参与谋杀沙特异见人士贾马尔·卡舒吉（Jamal Khashoggi）后，法国已就此案展开调查。 这位59岁的记者、《华盛顿邮报》专栏作家于2018年在访问土耳其伊斯坦布尔的沙特领事馆时遇害。据信他的遗体被肢解，至今未被找到。沙特当局承认卡舒吉在领事馆内遇害，但坚称是失职官员在未经领导层授权的情况下执行了此次行动。 2022年7月，卡舒吉的前组织“阿拉伯世界即时民主”（Democracy for the Arab World Now, DAWN）和“无国界记者”（Reporters Without Borders, RSF）提起法律诉讼，指控穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼作为有组织团体的一部分，参与了酷刑和强迫失踪。诉讼指控他下令“通过窒息”谋杀卡舒吉。 法国国家反恐检察官办公室（PNAT）反对展开调查，RSF律师Emmanuel Daoud批评这一立场是“以法国的更高经济利益为名行‘现实政治’之实，以免激怒沙特当局”。 巴黎上诉法院现已裁定，“不能排除这些行为可能被归类为危害人类罪的可能性”。 检察官办公室周六告诉法新社（AFP）：“一名负责危害人类罪的调查法官将审查这项指控。” 卡舒吉曾担任沙特政府顾问，与王室关系密切，后来成为沙特王室的著名批评者并移居美国。沙特检察官表示，该记者在一次试图说服他返回沙特阿拉伯的失败行动中，被强制约束并注射过量药物后死亡。 拜登政府于2021年发布的一份美国情报报告得出结论，穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼对沙特王国拥有“绝对控制权”，沙特安全机构已批准了一项“抓捕或杀死”卡舒吉的行动。沙特阿拉伯拒绝了这一评估，称其“虚假且不可接受”。 然而，美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普去年表示，王储“对杀害记者的计划一无所知”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(AsiaGameHub) -   Bragg Gaming Group has reached an agreement to purchase Drayton International through a share-based transaction designed to incorporate game studios, technology platforms, and entry into the US advance deposit wagering sector. Key Details To acquire 100% of Drayton International, Bragg will issue 4.5 million common shares priced at $2.00 each. Drayton contributes five gaming studios along with three technology and distribution platforms. Following the deal's closure, Matt Davey is set to become Bragg's non-executive chairman. The iGaming supplier, listed in Toronto, anticipates finalizing the transaction in the third quarter of 2026, pending definitive agreements. On Thursday, Bragg released the term sheet, positioning the acquisition as a move to sharpen its focus on proprietary game content, data, and player experience. Through this deal, Bragg obtains stakes in Boomerang (54.5%), Dream Streak (48.5%), Rise Gaming (54%), Hit Squad (37.5%), and Neotopia (24%). Additionally, Drayton holds ownership or control of Arc Gaming, Vision PlAI, and 3 Shores. ADW Access Expands Bragg's US Footprint This agreement could significantly alter Bragg's trajectory in the US. With traditional online slots legal in only seven states, Bragg noted that Arc Gaming and its exclusive aggregator partnership with the BetMakers tote platform could unlock ADW access in over 30 US states.This would provide Bragg with a substantially larger addressable market in the US, reducing reliance solely on online casino legislation. The company also highlighted its remote games server technology as a means to navigate diverse regulatory landscapes. Bragg Technology Group CEO Matevž Mazij stated: “The acquisition of Drayton represents a highly strategic step forward for Bragg as we continue to expand our global footprint and invest in proprietary IP and technology.” He further noted that the “transaction will mark our first entry into the emerging ADW space.”This acquisition follows a cost restructuring initiative at Bragg. As part of a broader restructuring plan, the company reduced its global workforce by approximately 12%. Bragg indicated that the plan would incur costs of roughly €1 million, or $1.2 million, in Q1 2026, while aiming to deliver total savings of €4.5 million alongside other modifications. Matt Davey adds significant depth to the transaction. He founded and chaired Tekkorp Capital, established NYX Gaming prior to its sale to Scientific Games for approximately $631 million, and currently serves as President of BetMakers. Discussions regarding a Tabcorp acquisition of BetMakers concluded in February. Davey privately purchased one million Bragg shares earlier in 2026 and is expected to hold around 10% of Bragg once the acquisition concludes. He remarked: “Bragg has built a strong foundation as a global B2B iGaming supplier and its planned acquisition of Drayton adds a highly complementary set of assets across games, technology and distribution that accelerate its new push to focus on being a data-rich, content-first, user experience-obsessed organisation.” Current Bragg chair Holly Gagnon endorsed the change in leadership, stating: “Matt is a gaming industry luminary. I am confident that I will be passing the chair’s torch into the right hands.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Philippine gaming sector experienced a decrease in first-quarter revenue for 2026, with underperformance in e-gaming contributing to the overall decline, according to the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. Key Figures Philippine gaming Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) amounted to PHP87.60 billion, equivalent to $1.42 billion, in the first quarter of 2026. This total represents a 15.9% decrease compared to the same period in the previous year. Revenue from e-gaming saw a significant drop of 22.4%, reaching PHP39.90 billion. Commercial casinos continued to be the primary source of first-quarter gross gaming revenue. Licensed private-sector casinos generated PHP44.52 billion, a year-over-year decrease of 9.7%, and accounted for approximately 50.8% of the total GGR. E-gaming followed closely in revenue generation, but its steeper decline impacted the market's overall performance. Pagcor reported that this segment generated PHP39.90 billion between January and March, making up about 45.6% of the total GGR. This category encompasses e-bingo, e-games, bingo grantees, and both onsite and off-site poker, as defined by Pagcor. E Gaming Weakness Affects Q1 Totals Pagcor-operated Casino Filipino establishments contributed PHP3.17 billion in GGR during the three months ending March 31. This figure was 8.1% lower than the previous year and constituted 3.6% of the total market revenue.Pagcor chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco attributed the first-quarter downturn to broader economic challenges, reiterating a sentiment he expressed in April. He stated: “We attribute the first-quarter dip to several factors, including softer discretionary spending amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and rising inflationary pressures.” Despite the current dip, Tengco highlighted ongoing investments across the industry, including integrated resorts, digital advancements, and responsible gaming initiatives. He also expressed optimism that a more stable economic environment could lead to a rebound in demand: “We remain hopeful that once the geopolitical tensions stabilise, consumer confidence and discretionary spending will also gradually recover, which should help support improved industry performance.”The decline in the first quarter follows a robust performance for Philippine gaming throughout 2025. The full-year GGR reached PHP396.14 billion, marking a 6.4% increase from 2024. Growth in electronic and online gaming segments compensated for reduced earnings from land-based casinos, with the electronic and online segment generating PHP201.12 billion and becoming the leading revenue contributor.

(SeaPRwire) -   美国陆军代理参谋长表示，已指示指挥官减少在欧洲的部队部署 五角大楼取消了向波兰派遣4000名士兵的计划，此举发生在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普与其盟友因对伊朗政策问题关系紧张之际。 美联社周五报道，当五角大楼通知他们取消部署时，美国第一骑兵师第二装甲旅战斗队的一些士兵——包括艾布拉姆斯主战坦克和布拉德利步兵战车——已经抵达波兰或正在途中。 克里斯托弗·拉内韦将军作为陆军代理参谋长向国会表示，美国欧洲司令部司令“收到了关于削减兵力的指示”。他补充说：“让该旅不部署到战区是最明智的选择。” 波兰总理唐纳德·图斯克似乎淡化了这一举措，他表示自己“收到了……这些决定具有后勤性质”的保证。国防部长瓦迪斯瓦夫·科西尼亚克-卡米斯称这次撤军与“此前宣布的某些美军在欧陆驻防调整”有关。 目前有超过1万名美军人员在波兰轮换驻扎。 尽管特朗普经常指责北约成员国国防投入不足，但美国国防部长皮特·赫格瑟最近在波兰去年国防开支占GDP约4.7%——超过其他北约成员后，仍形容其为“模范盟友”。 今年5月初，五角大楼宣布将从在德国的大约3.8万名美军人员中撤出5000人。德国总理弗里德里希·梅尔茨是批评美国和以色列对伊朗政策的欧洲领导人之一。作为回应，特朗普敦促梅茨“专注于修复他那个破败的国家”。 特朗普还曾表示，如果西班牙和意大利两国拒绝为针对伊朗的军事行动提供基地和机场使用权，他可能将这两国的驻军一并撤回。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(AsiaGameHub) -   MGM National Harbor is facing a federal lawsuit after server Tajia Mackyeon said casino managers took a $76,000 baccarat tip that a player had handed to her during an April 13 shift. Good to Know Tajia Mackyeon says a high-stakes baccarat player gave her $76,000 in chips. The lawsuit says casino managers took the chips and returned the money to the player. Claims include labor law violations, conversion theft, conspiracy, and emotional distress. The case centers on who controlled the chips once the baccarat player handed them to Mackyeon. Her lawsuit argues that the tip became her property, and that MGM National Harbor management unlawfully took it away. Conversion theft forms one core claim in the filing. In plain terms, Mackyeon accuses casino staff of taking control of property that did not belong to them. She also alleges violations of federal and Maryland labor law, tortious interference with economic advantage, conspiracy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Tip Dispute Raises Questions Over Casino Policy Mackyeon had served the baccarat player for several hours before the alleged tip. FindLaw reported:“Around 2 a.m., he put chips worth $76,000 in Mackyeon’s hands.” The report said Mackyeon asked the player three times if he was sure. He confirmed the tip each time, then returned to the tables and kept gambling. The lawsuit says management later relied on casino policy tied to player impairment. MGM policy requires staff to act when a gambler appears impaired while gambling, according to the complaint. Mackyeon argues that rule did not apply because the player “was not in any apparent state of confusion or impairment” when he gave her the chips. Her attorney framed the decision as unequal treatment. If the same player “had placed a $76,000 roulette bet on ‘red,’ and lost, [the casino] would not have given it back.”Mackyeon said her manager and a table games manager quickly took possession of the chips. She claims she complied because she “believed that if she did not comply, she would be forced to do so.” Later, she learned MGM National Harbor had returned the funds to the baccarat player. The amount also adds weight to the dispute. According to the lawsuit, the $76,000 tip would have been more than five times her normal yearly pay. Some casino operators use tipping pools that split gratuities among servers, bartenders, and barbacks. The lawsuit, however, does not point to a tip-pooling rule at MGM National Harbor that would explain the handling of the chips. MGM has dealt with other unusual casino litigation recently. In March, a Nevada federal judge allowed a separate case against the company to continue. That lawsuit involves a high-limit blackjack player who alleged someone spiked his drink with ketamine at MGM Grand in Las Vegas in December 2021. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Ron Baron, founder and CEO of Baron Capital, suggests that SpaceX has the potential for substantial returns following a future public offering, attributing this prospect primarily to Elon Musk and emerging space-related business ventures. Good to Know Baron indicated that SpaceX submitted a filing for an initial public offering in April. Ron Baron estimated the IPO valuation might be in the range of $1.5 trillion to $1.75 trillion. Baron projects that SpaceX's value could escalate to $10 trillion, $20 trillion, or potentially $30 trillion within a decade to 15 years. Baron perceives SpaceX as transcending a mere rocket enterprise. He believes that reusable spacecraft, Starlink, demands for artificial intelligence, and potential space-based data centers could collectively contribute to a significantly higher valuation. He stated: “Therefore, when it goes public, I'm uncertain if the valuation will be $1.5 trillion or $1.75 trillion, or perhaps slightly higher. Regardless of its initial public valuation, I anticipate that the company will be valued at $10 trillion, $20 trillion, or $30 trillion over the subsequent 10 to 15 years. And my estimate might even be quite conservative; it could be significantly higher than that.” Elon Musk And Reusable Rockets Baron largely attributed SpaceX's growth potential to Elon Musk. He noted that Musk revolutionized the economics of the space industry by championing reusable rockets, a concept other companies had no incentive to pursue as it would diminish the need for new hardware :“What truly empowered this company? It's him [Elon Musk]. He conceived the notion of launching and reusing a rocket, something unprecedented. No other rocket company showed interest in this, as it would inevitably reduce the demand for new rockets. Consequently, no one wished to undertake this. “And it was consistently deemed impossible. They claimed it was impossible because no one had attempted it, and even when attempts were made, no one succeeded. This innovation is what made everything possible, including Starlink.” The Falcon 9 provided SpaceX with a reusable rocket platform, while Starlink introduced a satellite internet service for both consumers and businesses. Baron now envisions an additional potential development: space-based data centers. Terrestrial data centers require significant power and water resources. Baron suggested that space could present an alternative cost model, utilizing sunlight for energy and radiators for cooling. He commented:“Once that was established, and with the Falcon 9 [reusable spacecraft] now available… “…we then realized there's a demand for space data centers, as opposed to operating data centers on our planet where it's exceedingly challenging… …with water scarcity and electricity issues. In space, you don't require cooling, primarily, provided you have massive radiators. “And then electricity, which represents a substantial expense, is also unnecessary because you're harnessing the sun. Essentially, you gain access to free electricity and free cooling once you are in space.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Hackers are deploying TCLBanker, a Windows trojan linked to compromised Microsoft installation packages, to infiltrate banking, fintech, and cryptocurrency platforms. Key Insights TCLBanker tracks access to 59 specific financial services. The malware can propagate via WhatsApp and Microsoft Outlook. Fake overlay interfaces capture login credentials, PINs, phone numbers, and other sensitive information. Discovered by Elastic Security Labs, the trojan is believed to have evolved from the earlier Maverick and Sorvepotel malware families. According to BleepingComputer, this campaign primarily targets users in Brazil, where the malware monitors browser activity for interactions with selected financial applications and websites. Unlike passive threats, TCLBanker actively scans the browser address bar every second—rather than waiting for accidental visits—and immediately initiates a WebSocket connection to a command-and-control server upon detecting a targeted platform. This grants attackers remote system access as soon as a user logs into one of the compromised services. Fake Interfaces and Full System Control Enable Sophisticated Attacks The real danger lies in the extensive control TCLBanker provides to threat actors. Operators can remotely view live screen feeds, take snapshots, record keystrokes, intercept clipboard data, execute shell commands, explore file systems, and manipulate input devices—including keyboard and mouse controls. This level of access makes the malware especially hazardous for online banking, digital wallets, and fintech applications. During an active session, attackers can steal copied wallet addresses, entered passwords, or one-time authentication codes. In addition to surveillance capabilities, TCLBanker employs deceptive overlay windows designed to mimic legitimate prompts such as login forms, PIN entry screens, bank support wait pages, Windows Update notifications, and loading progress bars. Despite varying appearances, the underlying objective remains consistent: extract confidential account details while maintaining the illusion of normal operation. Prior to launching its full attack sequence, the trojan verifies system-specific attributes including timezone settings, keyboard layout, and regional locale. These checks help determine whether the infected device aligns with the intended geographic focus of the campaign. A further complication stems from its propagation mechanism. TCLBanker contains built-in worm functionality that allows it to autonomously spread through trusted communication channels like WhatsApp and Outlook, enabling attackers to infiltrate new systems via platforms already familiar to users.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Oklahoma has classified online sweepstakes casinos and social sportsbook products as illegal under the state's gambling laws after lawmakers successfully overrode Gov. Kevin Stitt’s veto and enacted Senate Bill 1589. Key Facts The Oklahoma Senate voted 34 to 10 in favor of overriding the governor's veto. The House of Representatives approved the override with a vote of 68 to 19. Operators, suppliers, geolocation firms, promoters, and affiliates may face felony charges under the new law. The legislation strengthens Oklahoma’s stance against dual-currency gaming by prohibiting mobile platforms that resemble slot machines, lottery games, bingo, or other forms of gambling when players can use both free tokens and real money coins. Governor Stitt had opposed SB 1589 due to its inclusion of criminal penalties. Although the bill had already passed earlier in the legislative session, lawmakers reconvened on Thursday and met the two-thirds majority requirement needed to override his veto, after which it was submitted to the Secretary of State. Social Sportsbooks Lose Another State Route The ban extends beyond traditional sweepstakes casino games to include sweepstakes-based sportsbooks—apps that mimic the appearance and functionality of established platforms like FanDuel or DraftKings but operate under an alternative monetization model.This development is particularly significant in Oklahoma, where legal sports betting remains unavailable. A tribal-backed proposal for sports wagering failed to pass the Senate in April, and another legislative effort in the House also did not advance. As a result, Oklahoma joins 10 other states without any form of legalized sports betting. In contrast, land-based gambling is widely permitted across the state, with more than 100 casinos operating primarily through federally recognized tribal agreements. Tribal gaming leaders supported the sweepstakes prohibition because current compacts ensure that authorized gambling activities remain under tribal jurisdiction. Under SB 1589, companies involved in prohibited sweepstakes operations could be charged with a Class C2 felony, carrying potential fines ranging from $500 to $2,000 and up to 30 days in jail. The law applies broadly across the entire business ecosystem, not just to direct operators of casino or sportsbook apps. The enactment of SB 1589 was part of a broader legislative showdown at the state Capitol. In addition to this bill, Stitt vetoed over 30 pieces of legislation, including HB 4432, which would have allowed certain gambling losses to be deductible for tax purposes. Lawmakers also overturned that veto. This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Hard Rock Bet has reached a significant milestone in its plans to enter the Ontario online sports betting and iGaming market after being registered by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. Good to Know The AGCO granted Hard Rock Bet its Ontario iGaming registration on Thursday. The brand must still finalize a commercial agreement with iGaming Ontario before it can launch. Ontario is poised to become Hard Rock Bet’s first Canadian market. While Hard Rock Bet currently operates in 10 U.S. states, the Seminole Tribe-owned sportsbook and online casino has yet to establish a presence in Canada. Ontario now stands as its most likely initial entry point north of the border, though the platform has not yet gone live. The AGCO’s official registry confirms the registration. However, provincial regulations also mandate that operators enter into a commercial agreement with iGaming Ontario, the agency responsible for overseeing legal private-sector iGaming in the province. Ottawa Casino Strengthens Hard Rock’s Canadian Presence The online licence follows the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Ottawa last year—a $350 million development that establishes the company’s first land-based footprint in Canada. This physical venue could serve as a bridge to connect casino patrons with Hard Rock Bet’s upcoming digital sportsbook and online casino offerings. This integrated approach gives Hard Rock Bet a more cohesive local identity compared to purely digital competitors. Ontario players may soon encounter the same brand across retail entertainment, casino gaming, and online platforms, while the Ottawa location could draw additional visitors through cross-promotion with its digital services. The Seminole Tribe of Florida, which owns Hard Rock, has previously signaled interest in expanding into Canada’s online gambling sector. Last year, its digital division was positioned to acquire PointsBet’s Canadian operations as part of a broader takeover of the Australian bookmaker, though that transaction ultimately fell through. Now, Hard Rock Bet has secured its own route into the Ontario market. Alberta may emerge as the brand’s next Canadian destination. The province is set to launch a competitive sports betting and iGaming market on July 13, offering private operators another regulated jurisdiction beyond Ontario. Currently, Ontario and Alberta are the only Canadian provinces with competitive iGaming frameworks that permit private operators to obtain licences and legally accept wagers under provincial oversight.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Rhode Island is expanding its online sports betting market by approving a second operator, ending years of having only one digital sportsbook available in the state. Good to Know Bally’s secured the second Rhode Island online sportsbook licence over BetRivers. Sportsbook Rhode Island, operated by IGT, has been the sole approved online platform since 2019. Bally’s plans to launch its service in November, following the expiration of IGT's exclusivity period. Bally’s has been granted a license for online sports betting in Rhode Island, as reported by NBC 10 WJAR. This decision introduces a new brand to the state’s mobile wagering landscape and marks the end of a single-operator model that began when online betting launched in 2019. Rush Street Gaming, the owner of BetRivers, also submitted an application. However, no other companies participated in the process, according to Michael O’Rourke, deputy director of the Rhode Island Lottery, who told NBC 10: “There was a thorough review process.“We had hoped for greater participation, but ultimately no additional applicants came forward.” Bally’s Strengthens Its Position in Rhode Island Betting Bally’s already maintains a significant presence in Rhode Island’s sports betting sector. The company operates both retail sportsbooks located within the state’s casinos and previously captured 17% of total sportsbook revenue under the existing agreement with IGT. Under the prior arrangement, IGT retained 32% of revenue, while Rhode Island government received 51% through gaming taxes—the highest sports betting tax rate in the United States. This high rate likely discouraged major operators like FanDuel and DraftKings from entering the market. With its new licence, Bally’s will now receive 49% of revenue from its own online sportsbook, while the state continues to collect 51%, according to NBC 10. Although final contract details are pending, Bally’s is scheduled to go live in November when the current IGT exclusivity agreement concludes. Patti Doyle, spokesperson for Bally’s, stated: “Bally’s is delighted to have been awarded a second sports betting licence by the State of Rhode Island. We appreciate the trust and confidence placed in us to deliver a top-tier product—designed for scalability, innovation, and meeting the evolving needs of today’s bettors—which will contribute additional revenue to support Rhode Island taxpayers.” The state opened applications late last year, with operators required to submit their proposals by February. The lottery commission viewed increased competition as a means to retain more betting activity within Rhode Island rather than losing customers to nearby Massachusetts sportsbooks. Bally’s will operate its online sportsbook in Rhode Island for at least five years, with an option to extend for another five-year term. This article is provided by a third-party.

(AsiaGameHub) -   The NCAA has determined that former Abilene Christian basketball player Airion Simmons breached sports betting integrity regulations, resulting in his permanent ineligibility under NCAA guidelines. Key Facts Airion Simmons and two other Abilene Christian players are alleged to have conspired with a bettor to intentionally lose a March 2024 basketball game. Simmons subsequently informed NCAA enforcement officials about a separate bettor who had approached him regarding fixing the outcome of the game. Federal prosecutors charged Simmons in January as part of a broader sports betting probe involving 20 individuals. According to the NCAA, Simmons was provided with cash connected to the alleged scheme; however, he did not compensate the other student-athletes involved. One of those athletes later reported the incident to the NCAA, which initiated the enforcement review. The NCAA released its ruling on Friday. Reinstatement for Simmons would require support from an NCAA member institution, though permanent ineligibility significantly complicates this possibility. The NCAA stated:“While the Committee on Infractions does not impose penalties on student-athletes who violate NCAA rules, their involvement in such violations carries consequences. Student-athletes found in violation are ineligible and may only be reinstated with the assistance of an NCAA school.” Federal Case Highlights Broader Concerns Over College Betting The case against Simmons falls within a larger federal investigation into collegiate sports betting. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania indicted 20 people in January. The NCAA has already imposed sanctions on Will Richardson and Elijah Gray, former Fordham players, and Simeon Cottle, a former Kennesaw State athlete. As legal sports wagering expands across the United States, concerns over college sports integrity have grown. Since 2023, the NCAA has urged state regulators to restrict high-risk college gambling markets—including prop bets on individual players and first-half totals—citing increased risks to student-athletes, officials, and game integrity. Following the January indictments, the NCAA reiterated its call for stricter state laws and oversight to better safeguard competitions.NCAA president Charlie Baker commented: “The Association remains committed to aggressively pursuing sports betting violations in college athletics through a comprehensive integrity monitoring program covering more than 22,000 events. However, we continue to need the remaining states and regulatory bodies to remove threats to integrity so we can better protect athletes and leagues from risks posed by predatory bettors.” This article is provided by a third-party.

(SeaPRwire) -   尽管德黑兰方面表示不信任华盛顿，但它坚持认为僵局无法通过军事手段解决 据《纽约时报》援引消息来源报道，美国和以色列正在积极准备重启与伊朗的军事对抗，最早可能于下周恢复攻击。 自4月脆弱的停火协议达成以来，伊朗与特朗普政府之间的间接谈判陷入停滞。双方多次驳斥对方的要求不切实际，而德黑兰和华盛顿仍坚称自己占据优势地位。 与此同时，霍尔木兹海峡的航运中断仍在持续，对全球航运造成严重影响并引发全球范围内的石油短缺。虽然伊朗宣布了自己的机制来规范该水域的交通，但华盛顿拒绝接受该方案，并对伊朗港口实施海军封锁作为报复。 周五两名匿名的中东官员向《纽约时报》透露，过去几天美国和以色列为发动新攻势所做的准备工作大大加快，冲突可能最早将于下周重新开始。 据匿名美国官员向该报透露，选项包括对伊朗军事目标及基础设施进行“更具侵略性的轰炸行动”。另一种选择则是执行突袭行动以夺取德黑兰埋藏在地下的浓缩铀库存——这是在2025年6月美国空袭伊朗核设施之后发生的。 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普一再威胁要重启对伊朗的攻击，他对德黑兰的提议越来越不满。上周末，特朗普抨击伊朗对美国提案的回应是“垃圾”，并称当前的停火协议“令人难以置信地薄弱”。 德黑兰表示，它已准备好“对任何侵略行为给予应得的回应”。尽管对停滞不前的谈判持谨慎态度，但仍愿意参与外交接触。 “我们有充分的理由不信任美国人，”伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉奇周五说。“不存在军事解决方案，美国必须明白这一现实。他们无法通过军事行动实现目标，但如果他们选择外交途径情况就会不同。” 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
