Their have been rumors that a land-based casino and an online casino are in the works that will focus on Michael Jackson, his music, and his legacy in the music industry. A Michael Jackson themed casino was just launched using his name, and even images from one of his early albums, but it doesn’t seem to be an online casino that is backed my Michael’s estate or his family. As reported by TMZ.com, Michael Jackson’s attorney, Howard Weitzman was quoted as saying that he will “take whatever legal actions are necessary to shut this operation down.”

Our own investigation has concluded that the site is now only a shell for an online casino that doesn’t seem to be operational. It has direct ties to EarnReal.com that is an affiliate program for a set of online sportsbooks. Their are direct links to EarnReal.com on the homepage of the site, and their was once a SportsBetting.com banner on the homepage as well. This domain has been active since at least 2002 and in 2007 it had a much different homepage that featured photos of Michael Jackson but it was still promoting an online casino using RTG software.

The province of British Colombia in Canada has launched the first online casino in North America. It is illegal to own and operate an online casino from the United States and Mexico, but provincial
governments in Canada are now able to offer legal online casino gambling to Canadian citizens.

PlayNow.com is the new online casino that is using the Openbet casino software. This casino is being operated by the British Colombia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) and they have already registered 140,000 new players from the provinces in Canada. The revenue from this new online casino will be used to fund educational programs as well as essential Canadian services.

BCLC plans to launched an online poker room later this year to accomodate online poker players throughout Canada. Canadians will be able to play at a legal online poker room that only accepts players from Canada. While this is a great opportunity for Canadians to gamble legally over the Internet, some Canadian players will still continue to play at online casinos hosted offshore.
