We cover the entire world in this section with the latest news front and center. As new articles are published, they take the top positions.

Stay on top exciting new prospects or follow along as controversies bubble up or the tug of wars develop. Often you'll see casino project updates appear in another section as well when lawsuits and litigation rear their heads. And sometimes you can follow a proposal through all of its steps from concept to licensing to the grand opening announcement and celebration. Looking for a topping out ceremony? This is the place!

Most casinos don't last forever. Sometimes they'll move from the river to land, they might be imploded to make room for something fresh and new, or what may have seemed like a great concept just can't make the numbers and closes after a year. Look for breaking and sometimes sad news about casino closures in this section.
