Magic City Casino owners, the Havenick family, are selling one of the oldest Miami-based casinos to an Alabama-based Indian tribe, the Poarch Band Creek Indians, for an undisclosed price. On Thursday, December 1st, the family will query the state to pass on its attractive gambling license to the new owners.

Greyhound license:

Once the transfer is approved and completed, in addition to having license to operate the casino as the new owners, the tribe will also receive a greyhound license, which was issued back in 1931 when greyhound racing became legal in Florida.

Despite the fact that greyhound racing is now illegal in the state, the license is still valid and since 2004 has been the main thing that has permited Magic City and other casinos in South Florida to legally …

In Macau and local casino operator MGM China Holdings Limited has announced that it is coming into line with recently-ratified legislation so as to be able to obtain one of the former Portuguese enclave’s new ten-year gaming concessions.

The firm behind the 600-room MGM Macau as well as the even larger MGM Cotai properties used an official Sunday filing (pdf) to detail that it is to inject approximately $594 million into its MGM Grand Paradise Limited subsidiary, which will then be able to apply for permission to continue running these two gambling-friendly venues until the end of 2032. The Hong Kong-listed firm revealed that it expects this licensing process to be completed by the government via the nine-member Public Tendering of Concessions for the Operati…

At a games conference in Sofia, Bulgaria earlier this year, Larian gameplay scripter Mihail Kostov gave a presentation outlining the philosophies and strategies the studio employs to ensure games like Baldur’s Gate 3 stay playable even as players are actively tearing them apart. Recently made public on YouTube (via GamesRadar), Kostov’s talk explains how Larian addresses “edge cases”—times when “player action may push a system to the extreme”—with solutions that reward, rather than stifle, creativity.

We’ve written about the near-absurd depth of contingencies Baldur’s Gate 3 has in place to account for player chaos, like its roster of purpose-built backup NPCs who stand ready to replace any plot-relevant characters you might murder (and replacements for t…

One of the most contentious changes in Overwatch 2 was its shift to a 5v5 format. The loss of a tank hero on each team fundamentally changed how it’s played, and debates over whether or not it should go back to 6v6 have gone on since its release. In a new blog post, game director Aaron Keller laid out plans to try 6v6 again, along with other format changes, in a series of experimental modes coming later this year.

A 6v6 mode won’t happen immediately though because 12-player games could “underperform on older systems,” Keller says. Blizzard will need “at least several seasons” to ready the game for that, so it’s going to try other format changes first.

“When you look at the changes to Overwatch since its inception, it’s clear that many of those have reduced some of th…
