Online casino set to challenge Asia's gambling hub
Monday 16th June 2008
Mong Ha Casino has announced that it is opening a new online casino Viva Macau.
It is hoped that the new website will bring the experience of gambling in Macau into the homes of gamers.
Viva Macau is targeting three areas of gaming to provide plenty of variety for online punters who will be able to enjoy casino games, placing bets on sports events and online poker.
In a bid to compete with more established online poker sites, its poker room will have $1.4 million in free roll tournaments.
Sam Casteel, Mong Ha Media's public relations director, commented: "Macau casinos...look out. [We] realised it was only a matter of time before someone took the experience right into the customer's home. That's what we are doing at Viva Macau."
Macau is one of the world's fastest growing gambling destinations and it is estimated the city's gross gaming revenue this year will reach $13.5 billion, according to a Globalysis report.
