塞浦路斯国家博彩管理局（NBA）宣布将于10月7日至13日开展为期一周的安全博彩宣传活动。此次活动的主题是“安全是每场游戏中的真正英雄”，旨在教育公众了解赌博的潜在有害后果，并为那些可能需要帮助的人提供资源。
此次活动由NBA主席Ioanna Fiakkou女士（上图）领导，活动内容丰富多样，包括演讲、教育研讨会、实践工作坊和互动游戏。这些活动旨在向公众传达如何安全参与博彩的方法，并为那些感觉自己博彩习惯可能变得问题化的人提供资源。
Ioanna Fiakkou女士对公众每年日益增长的参与感到满意。她表示：“通过信息传递，我们旨在预防有害后果，并为玩家和社会创造一个保护环境。”
这次塞浦路斯的宣传活动是全球推动更安全博彩实践趋势的一部分。类似的活动在其他国家也有，例如英国和爱尔兰的“更安全博彩周”。这些活动强调了负责任博彩的重要性，以及需要整个行业的努力来保护玩家。
行业诚信的主动方式随着在线博彩的日益普及，NBA的此次宣传活动尤为及时。越来越多的人转向在线平台进行博彩，这也增加了问题赌博的风险。因此，像NBA这样的宣传活动变得尤为重要。
NBA的宣传活动不仅仅是提高意识，还提供实际的工具和资源。参与者将了解问题赌博的迹象、保持博彩习惯控制的策略，以及在需要时寻求帮助的途径。
菲亚库女士在此次活动中的领导体现了NBA对玩家安全的承诺。在她的指导下，NBA不仅在监管博彩行业，还采取积极措施确保博彩对所有人来说都是一种安全和愉快的活动。
NBA为期一周的安全博彩宣传活动是促进负责任博彩的值得赞赏的努力。通过教育公众并为有需要的人提供资源，NBA在保护投注者福祉和博彩行业诚信方面发挥了关键作用。正如活动标志所言：“安全是每场游戏中的真正英雄”。

Forbes has cast a spotlight on the gambling industry, specifically in a report focusing on four major gambling stocks that have hit new lows. This development is more than just a fluctuation in the market; but it is a clear negative indicator for the economy as a whole. The rationale behind this assertion lies in the nature of the gambling industry itself. The report explains that because the gambling industry is so heavily dependent on discretionary spending, it raises red flags about the overall health of the economy when it faces challenges.
Gambling, by its very nature, is the epitome of consumer discretionary spending. A thriving casino and resort industry is often a barometer of a robust economy. It signifies that consumers have the financial flexibility to engage in activities that are not essential but enhance their lifestyle. Casinos and gambling indicate that consumers have disposable income.
Therefore, the current state of these four gambling stocks should not be viewed in isolation. Instead, it is more of a warning sign, a prompt to pay closer attention to the global economy’s trajectory. The health of the gambling industry and these stocks, in particular, could provide valuable insights into future economic trends, according to Forbes.
Gambling stocks hitting new lowsThe report takes a closer look at these four gambling stocks that have hit new lows.
Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS)
Las Vegas Sands, a company where more than half of the ownership lies with Miriam Adelson and her family, has seen its stock price fall from $55 in February to $37 in August. Although the stock is currently rebounding from its lows, the fact that the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average in early May is not a positive sign. The company’s market capitalization stands at $28.35 billion.
Melco Resorts and Entertainment (NASDAQ: MLCO)
Melco, a Hong Kong-based company, is one of the smaller publicly traded gambling companies with a market cap of $2.63 billion. The stock, which traded as high as $9.50 at the beginning of the year, is now valued at $5.51, representing a 42 percent decline. It’s worth noting that the stock has only briefly traded above a steadily declining 200-day moving average, and the 50-day moving average is also trending downward.
MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM)
MGM Resorts International’s stock had been trading along the path of the 200-day moving average for several months. However, it lost this support over the last five sessions, hitting a new low of just under $34 before bouncing back. The company, which has a market capitalization of $11.29 billion, reported second-quarter earnings in late July that exceeded analysts’ expectations.
WYNN Resorts (NYSE: WYNN)
WYNN Resorts, with a market cap of $8.55 billion, saw its stock price drop from $110 in early April to as low as $73 this week, a 33 percent decline. The 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average in late June, signalling potential selling pressure. The stock is currently emerging from the relative strength indicator’s “oversold” zone.
It is not all doom and gloom however, as a number of casino and resort stocks are currently rebounding from new lows. For instance, Bally’s (NYSE: BALY) traded as low as $10 in March and is now priced at $16.97. Similarly, Caesars Entertainment (NYSE: CZR) hit a new low of just below $32 in late May but has managed to stay above that level during this week’s sell-off.
The developments in the gambling industry warrant further analysis and commentary, particularly given their potential implications for the broader economy.

全球知名的综合娱乐度假村开发商 Mohegan （莫希根）正式任命 Joseph J. Hasson 为首席运营官（COO），该任命尚待监管部门批准。Hasson 自四月起担任临时 COO，此次任命巩固了他在公司战略方向中的领导地位。
“Joe Hasson 在博彩和酒店行业超过40年的经验，以及他在我们拉斯维加斯物业的卓越领导能力，使他在确保 Mohegan 多元化投资组合的战略一致性和连续性方面独具优势，”Mohegan 总裁兼首席执行官 Ray Pineault 表示。“我们相信，他作为首席运营官的领导能力将对我们的持续成功起到关键作用。”
Hasson 接替了 Jody Madigan 的职位，后者已于8月1日辞职。然而，Hasson 在此期间曾请假。

今年第一季度，Mohegan 报告净收入为4.617亿美元（4.224亿欧元），同比增长13.8%。据报道，这一增长主要得益于今年3月开业的韩国 Mohegan Inspire 娱乐度假村，该度假村设有仅对外国人开放的赌场。
Mohegan Inspire 娱乐度假村将于8月22日至24日举办即将到来的 SiGMA 亚洲实体供应商招待会。
致力于可持续增长Hasson 将与 Mohegan 的领导团队密切合作，以使战略流程与公司的总体目标保持一致。他的重点将放在 Mohegan 娱乐度假村组合的可持续增长，确保长期成功和发展。
