    Well the UAE for instance recently made a deal with a Las Vegas casino. Wynn Resorts.

    Exceptions are made, clearly.

      I googled that.

      It’s set to open in 2027 because they’re confident by then it will be legal.

      But it’s 2023 and it’s not legal. So sure, if in 2027 it’s legal and this mobile slot machine simulator is still banned, maybe it would matter

        Really, Luck Be A Landlord just needs to call them ‘duty free luck draws’ or something. Or disguise the slots as horse races. Gambling is rampant in places like the UAE, it’s just gamed,(haw). So that’s all LBAL would need to do. I doubt it’s worth the effort for the sales in the countries banning it though.

        Except gambling on racing is legal.
