In his recent keynote address at G2E this week, Sheldon Adelson reiterated his absolute disdain for online gambling.

His criticism didn’t end there. He used the term” lawbreakers” when referring to Pokerstars and  stated he didn’t believe anything changed with the acquisition of the company by Amaya, stating “it’s the same organization- just different stakeholders”.

Adelson also made known his interest in developing a billion dollar+casino project in Northern NJ in the Meadowlands area assuming NJ would allow casinos outside of AC.
