What was the 2008 Gaming Industry story of the year?

[bigboydan]

I was thinking about all the stories that have happen throughout the gaming industry this year and after giving it some though. I felt that the WTO ruling for Antigua over the U.S.A. was probably the biggest.

What do you feel was the industry story of the year?

This was last year, but still gets my vote. It was best when bi-curious was the only one believing the BS being spouted and changed all his posts to a pink font in solidarity.

the emergence of books that let you wager on credit...

[SlickFazzer]

Looks like credit shops are a trend of the future.

[onthewhat]

I think books that offer services that aren't widely available are becoming more popular as well. Ex: Rebate and Credit opportunities.

You know pretty good observation there

bad angle by books IMO....

as depending on whether they collect...

will have an effect on how well they payout...

and Americans have a history of defaulting on loans i.e. credit cards

a gambler might default even sooner?
