  37. <p>Paradise Co Ltd, an operator in South Korea of foreigner-only casinos, has opened a new customer lounge at Gimpo International Airport, in the country’s capital, Seoul. The “Paradise Lounge” (pictured), on the first floor of the airport, will cater to the group’s “VIP customer base,” according to the company.</p>
  38.  
  39.  
  40.  
  41. <p>Paradise Co directly operates three casino venues: Paradise Walkerhill in Seoul; Paradise Jeju on Jeju island; and a property in the port city of Busan.</p>
  42.  
  43.  
  44.  
  45. <p>The company also has a venture with Japan’s Sega Sammy Holdings Inc for the Paradise City casino resort at Incheon, near South Korea’s main airport.</p>
  46.  
  47.  
  48.  
  49. <p>According to local media reports, the new airport lounge will serve as a hub to “strengthen VIP marketing and attract new customers” to the group’s properties. The lounge will provide services not only to casino patrons but also to individual travellers staying in the group’s hotels.</p>
  50.  
  51.  
  52.  
  53. <p>Paradise Co’s chief executive, Choi Jong Hwan, <strong><a href="https://www.casinositewiki.com">카지노사이트</a></strong> was cited in the report as saying: “We expect this lounge to show the essence of VIP marketing and high-end services, which are the greatest strengths of Paradise Casino.”</p>
  54.  
  55.  
  56.  
  57. <p>In September, the casino firm opened a VIP-exclusive venue at Paradise Walkerhill Casino in Seoul, seeking to “gain significant competitive advantage as a leading casino operator”.</p>
  58.  
  59.  
  60.  
  61. <p>The VIP area – covering 1,064 square metres (11,453 sq. feet) – includes seven private rooms with 19 new gaming tables, a lounge, and a bar, according to the company.</p>
  62.  
  63.  
  64.  
  65. <p>The casino firm had said it expected sales in the new VIP venue to reach KRW22.0 billion (US$15.7 million currently) in 2025, and KRW32.0 billion in 2026.</p>
  66.  
  67.  
  68.  
  69. <p>The group’s CEO said at the time: “This expansion will bring us a critical opportunity to secure both physical infrastructure and high roller customers, enabling us to gain significant competitive advantage as a leading casino operator.”</p>
  70.  
  71.  
  72.  
  73. <p>Mr Choi also said the group would continue to “enhance VIP-exclusive facilities and service competitiveness” in all its properties.</p>
  74.  
  75.  
  76.  
  77. <p>Paradise Co reported third-quarter net income of KRW19.66 billion, on overall sales that dipped 6.1 percent year-on-year, to nearly KRW268.25 billion.</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/11/paradise-co-launches-customer-lounge-at-gimpo-airport/">Paradise Co launches customer lounge at Gimpo airport</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">The Dark Side of Online Gaming: Addiction and Its Consequence</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  96. <p>Genting Americas Inc, a unit of Genting Malaysia Bhd, has filed a motion to have dismissed a civil case claiming US$600 million in damages. The case involves an investor dispute about the Resorts World (RW) Bimini casino complex in the Bahamas.</p>
  97.  
  98.  
  99.  
  100. <p>Genting Malaysia said in a Monday statement that its unit had filed on Friday (November 22) a motion in the United States District Court, Southern Florida, for dismissal of the complaint by RAV Bahamas Ltd.</p>
  101.  
  102.  
  103.  
  104. <p>The latter firm has previously been described as a 22-percent investor in BB Entertainment Ltd, the operating entity of Resorts World Bimini. Genting Malaysia indirectly holds a 78-percent interest in BB Entertainment.</p>
  105.  
  106.  
  107.  
  108. <p>Genting Malaysia said in a statement to Bursa Malaysia: “Genting Americas seeks dismissal of the complaint on multiple grounds, including that <strong><a href="https://www.casinositewiki.com">카지노사이트</a></strong> this is a shareholder dispute and therefore should be dealt with pursuant to the shareholders’ agreement between the shareholders of BB Entertainment Ltd in a forum other than the U.S. court.”</p>
  109.  
  110.  
  111.  
  112. <p>Other grounds cited by Genting Malaysia for seeking dismissal were that “the claims are time-barred; and the complaint fails to adequately allege facts showing that the required elements for each claim have been met”.</p>
  113.  
  114.  
  115.  
  116. <p>The parent added: “Genting Americas continues to firmly believe that the complaint is baseless and without merit, and will continue to defend against these claims.”</p>
  117.  
  118.  
  119.  
  120. <p>Genting Malaysia has said that it does “not expect … any material impact” on the group’s financial results or operations from the claims involving Resorts World Bimini.</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/11/genting-asks-dismissal-of-us600mln-rw-bimini-case/">Genting asks dismissal of US$600mln RW Bimini case</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">The Dark Side of Online Gaming: Addiction and Its Consequence</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  137.  
  138.  
  139. <p>Nagasaki prefecture – last year passed over by the Japanese authorities as a host for a casino resort – received earlier this month a “questionnaire” from the Japan Tourism Agency regarding the country’s policy of having integrated resorts (IRs) each with a casino.</p>
  140.  
  141.  
  142.  
  143. <p>That is according to Kengo Oishi (pictured in a file photo), the prefecture’s governor, speaking at a regular press briefing on Friday.</p>
  144.  
  145.  
  146.  
  147. <p>GGRAsia’s Japan correspondent outlined that in the run-up to the initial IR application phase, the tourism agency had sent out a questionnaire – with a mid-September 2019 deadline – about the IR policy, to all 47 prefectures and 20 ordinance-designated cities deemed capable of hosting one. The initial application window for hosting an IR – though delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic – opened in October 2021.</p>
  148.  
  149.  
  150.  
  151. <p>Mr Oishi did not confirm however in his comments, whether the new questionnaire from the national authorities might signal the countdown to a new application phase for additional casino resort licences. Shigeru Ishiba, a pro-IR politician, was recently confirmed as the new prime minister of Japan, despite a snap election that saw the Liberal Democratic Party lose seats.</p>
  152.  
  153.  
  154.  
  155. <p>The IR topic came up on Friday when Mr Oishi was asked about it by the media. Nagasaki was one of only two localities – the other being Osaka prefecture and city – to make an application to the central authorities to host an IR in an initial phase, but its application was not approved.</p>
  156.  
  157.  
  158.  
  159. <p>Mr Oishi said: “In early November, the prefecture received a questionnaire regarding the IR policy from the Japan Tourism Agency,” a body under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.</p>
  160.  
  161.  
  162.  
  163. <p>He added: “The prefecture cannot make any comment on the questionnaire.”</p>
  164.  
  165.  
  166.  
  167. <p>The governor also noted: “The current stance on the IR policy remains unchanged. That is to say, it is a high hurdle to make a new application with a new IR <strong><a href="https://www.casinositewiki.com">카지노사이트</a></strong> District Development Plan because it would require of the prefecture, huge costs and efforts again and the examination by the [tourism] agency [involves a] great [degree of] discretion,” and has “low foreseeability” in terms of outcome.</p>
  168.  
  169.  
  170.  
  171. <p>Up to three IRs were envisaged for Japan initially, but so far only MGM Osaka, a JPY1.27-trillion (US$8.23-billion currently) venture has been approved, and is being built with the aim of a 2030 launch date.</p>
  172.  
  173.  
  174.  
  175. <p>A number of commentators on Japan, recently told GGRAsia that a further phase of applications would benefit from clarity and stability in Japanese national politics.</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/11/governor-confirms-nagasaki-got-ir-questionnaire-from-govt/">Governor confirms Nagasaki got IR questionnaire from govt</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">The Dark Side of Online Gaming: Addiction and Its Consequence</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  193.  
  194. <p>LT Game Ltd, a Macau-based provider of gaming equipment and management technology for casinos, demonstrated on Tuesday the latest software for its Live Multi Game (LMG) product platform. The software, branded “Black Coral”, is said to feature artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, and is compatible either with the company’s new slant-top SpeedWave LMG cabinet, or earlier product.</p>
  195.  
  196.  
  197.  
  198. <p>Jay Chun, co-chairman and managing director of LT Game, was at Tuesday’s presentation, along with other executives including the firm’s chief operating officer, Eddie Au.</p>
  199.  
  200.  
  201.  
  202. <p>Black Coral’s AI can analyse historical game results and even suggest wager choices to players said Mr Au.</p>
  203.  
  204.  
  205.  
  206. <p>He noted the firm was “fine-tuning” that AI function, on the basis that it dealt with a “sensitive” issue for players. This was that as the AI could not guarantee to “help the patron secure a win, there will be a question over, ‘Whose responsibility is this?’,” observed Mr Au on the sidelines of the event.</p>
  207.  
  208.  
  209.  
  210. <p>He added: “So we have to decide the extent of use with the AI function. Should that be only limited to the analysis of a number of historical game results?… We are trying to find a balance.”</p>
  211.  
  212.  
  213.  
  214. <p>He noted to GGRAsia that the Black Coral software is applicable not only to baccarat games delivered via the company’s LMG platform. but also other types of table game. His company planned to seek Macau regulatory approval for the software, Mr Au said.</p>
  215.  
  216.  
  217.  
  218. <p>“We will also want to promote it [Black Coral] to <strong><a href="https://www.powerballsite.com">eos파워볼</a></strong> overseas markets, such as the Philippines,” Mr Au remarked. The Black Coral software could be available live in casinos in the first half of 2025, he also noted.</p>
  219.  
  220.  
  221.  
  222. <p>At the presentation, LT Game showed how Black Coral could be applied to an LMG baccarat game. The software contains several player support functions, including allowing casino customers to ‘save’ a favourite LMG dealer table and get quick access to its player interface. Players can also track via the software, perceived winning ‘patterns’ in the prior results of games.</p>
  223.  
  224.  
  225.  
  226. <p>The presentation also discussed the SpeedWave cabinet. It is available in three formats. Single screen is compatible with the firm’s standard LMG setup. Dual-screen is for any terminal linked to LT Game’s electronic table games, such as “Mori Dice” and “Enter the Dragon”. The latter is LT Game’s latest electronic baccarat game featuring Lucky 7 and Super Lucky 7 side bet combinations popular in the Macau live-table baccarat market. The third format is a SpeedWave cabinet compatible with a LMG setup that can incorporate a “topper”. An example is a version of the Mori Dice game that uses a physical shaker for dice play, Mr Au noted in his presentation.</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/11/lt-game-demos-new-black-coral-software-for-live-multi-game/">LT Game demos new Black Coral software for Live Multi Game</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">The Dark Side of Online Gaming: Addiction and Its Consequence</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  253. <p>He stated: “In January we can start full blast with the process of procurement and then make an announcement towards the end of the first quarter, early second [quarter].”</p>
  254.  
  255.  
  256.  
  257. <p>There would, said Mr Tengco, need to be a bid process. “You cannot just award it to somebody… without going through a procurement process,” he noted.</p>
  258.  
  259.  
  260.  
  261. <p>This, Mr Tengco clarified, was “the process to secure the joint venture partner”.</p>
  262.  
  263.  
  264.  
  265. <p>The product offer for casinofilipino.com would be “not only live slots” but also “RNG games… being played online,” said the Pagcor chairman. That was a reference to other electronic gaming products using random number generator technology for game results, which can include electronic table games.</p>
  266.  
  267.  
  268.  
  269. <p>“We also [will] have live streaming of studios that&nbsp;are having baccarat games, for example. It will be an all-encompassing menu.”</p>
  270.  
  271.  
  272.  
  273. <p>Mr Tengco had announced in July 2023 the plan for casinofilipino.com, with the possibility of a first quarter 2024 launch. In March 2023 the authorities <strong><a href="https://www.powerballsite.com">eos파워볼</a></strong> had said they planned to sell off the land-based chain of Casino Filipino venues, hoping to raise as much as PHP80 billion (US$1.36 billion, currently).</p>
  274.  
  275.  
  276.  
  277. <p>Since those 2023 announcements, the launch timetable for casinofilipino.com has been adjusted several times, as has the amount potentially to be raised from selling off the land-based chain.</p>
  278.  
  279.  
  280.  
  281. <p>In September, Mr Tengco mentioned that PHP50 billion might be raised from disposing of the land operation, and that the process might only start in 2026, due to changes being required to Pagcor’s charter.</p>
  282.  
  283.  
  284.  
  285. <p>Pagcor had also mentioned the need actually to spend money before such as selloff, via upgrade to Casino Filipino venues’ gaming equipment.</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/11/pagcor-aims-casinofilipino-com-partner-by-2q25-tengco/">Pagcor aims casinofilipino.com partner by 2Q25 Tengco</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">The Dark Side of Online Gaming: Addiction and Its Consequence</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  304. <p>Regulatory fines globally in the iGaming sector fell 79.1 percent year-on-year in 2024, to EUR82 million (US$85.9 million) from EUR406 million in 2023. That is according to an estimate in research cited by industry software expert SOFTSWISS for its ‘iGaming Trends 2025’ report.</p>
  305.  
  306.  
  307.  
  308. <p>This showed “improved compliance” by the sector, but “risks remain for operators not fully integrating regulations into their strategies,” added the document.</p>
  309.  
  310.  
  311.  
  312. <p>The iGaming sector has seen, and is likely to see going into 2025, a fragmentation in terms of how different regions and jurisdictions respond to and oversee the industry, suggested SOFTSWISS.</p>
  313.  
  314.  
  315.  
  316. <p>This creates opportunities for socially-responsible suppliers, as well as challenges for the sector, the firm said in a summary of its report.</p>
  317.  
  318.  
  319.  
  320. <p>Max Trafimovich, chief commercial officer at SOFTSWISS, was cited as saying in the summary, issued on Monday: “The key to identifying the right markets goes beyond up-front costs or immediate profitability.”</p>
  321.  
  322.  
  323.  
  324. <p>He added: “True capital lies in market knowledge, operational flexibility, and the ability to build meaningful partnerships. These are the assets that lead to sustainable growth and the most promising opportunities.”</p>
  325.  
  326.  
  327.  
  328. <p>SOFTSWISS said that during its research, industry experts were asked to rate the current legal environment for iGaming on a scale of “1 to 10”. It said the average score cited in responses was 6.1.</p>
  329.  
  330.  
  331.  
  332. <p>The software specialist stated: “While this indicates the environment is generally functional, it also suggests considerable room for improvement.”</p>
  333.  
  334.  
  335.  
  336. <p>SOFTSWISS observed: “Compliance requirements are becoming increasingly fragmented, with countries implementing diverse rules regarding taxation, advertising, and player protection.”</p>
  337.  
  338.  
  339.  
  340. <p>Not only must companies “demonstrate agility in adapting to localised demands effectively,” they must also appreciate that “sustainability and social <strong><a href="https://www.powerballsite.com">eos파워볼</a></strong> responsibility are becoming integral to regulation,” said the paper.</p>
  341.  
  342.  
  343.  
  344. <p>The company stated: “Governments are focusing on ensuring fairness, preventing problem gambling, and increasing transparency in licensing.”</p>
  345.  
  346.  
  347.  
  348. <p>It added that this approach “drives up operators’ costs and raises the bar for trust”.</p>
  349.  
  350.  
  351.  
  352. <p>SOFTSWISS said: “Compliance is no longer just about meeting minimum standards; it is about building businesses that players, regulators, and investors can trust over the long term.”</p>
  353.  
  354.  
  355.  
  356. <p>As regions including Asia, Latin America, and Africa introduced formal regulatory structures, operators capable of navigating emerging rules “have unique opportunities to establish a foothold in these high-growth markets,” stated SOFTSWISS.</p>
  357.  
  358.  
  359.  
  360. <p>The brand itself holds a number of gaming licences and says it provides comprehensive software for managing iGaming projects.</p>
  361.  
  362.  
  363.  
  364. <p>The company’s product portfolio includes the Online Casino Platform, the Game Aggregator with over 23,500 casino games, the Affilka Affiliate Platform, as well as the brand’s Sportsbook software and its Jackpot Aggregator.</p>
  365.  
  366.  
  367.  
  368. <p>Its 2,000-plus workforce is distributed in Malta, Poland, and Georgia.</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/11/igaming-industry-fines-down-80pct-in-2024-softswiss/">iGaming industry fines down 80pct in 2024 SOFTSWISS</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">The Dark Side of Online Gaming: Addiction and Its Consequence</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  385.  
  386.  
  387. <p>Brad Crouch has announced he is hanging up the boots after a 161-game career in the AFL.</p>
  388.  
  389.  
  390.  
  391. <p>The former Adelaide Crows and St Kilda star has been forced to walk away from the game due to chronic knee issues.</p>
  392.  
  393.  
  394.  
  395. <p>Crouch played in the 2024 season opener for the Saints against Geelong, but missed the remainder of the season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to address ongoing degenerative knee issues.</p>
  396.  
  397.  
  398.  
  399. <p>Ultimately the injury became too much with the 30-year-old calling time on his career on Tuesday.</p>
  400.  
  401.  
  402.  
  403. <p>“It’s been a really tough few months and this is definitely not how I saw my footy career ending,” Crouch said. </p>
  404.  
  405.  
  406.  
  407. <p>“That being said, I’ve been able to live out my dream of playing AFL at two incredible clubs over 12 seasons, played in a grand final alongside my brother and made many lifelong friends.</p>
  408.  
  409.  
  410.  
  411. <p>“I’d really like to thank my family for their constant support not only through this period, but throughout my entire career.</p>
  412.  
  413.  
  414.  
  415. <p>“Without them, none of this would have been possible and spending more time with them is something I’m very much looking forward to in this next chapter of my life.”</p>
  416.  
  417.  
  418.  
  419. <p>Crouch played 95 games for Adelaide, which included the 2017 Grand Final, before he joined the Saints where he played a further 66 games. </p>
  420.  
  421.  
  422.  
  423. <p>The midfielder won Adelaide’s Malcolm Blight Medal in 2019 and finished inside the top 10 of the Saints’ Trevor Barker Medal in 2022 and 2022. His stellar <strong><a href="https://bit.ly/Outlookindiacom2023">토토사이트</a></strong> 2023 season saw him poll a career-best 18 votes in the Brownlow Medal. </p>
  424.  
  425.  
  426.  
  427. <p>“This is a really disappointing way for Brad’s career to end,” St Kilda’s Executive General Manager of Football David Misson said.</p>
  428.  
  429.  
  430.  
  431. <p>“We’ve been working with Brad for several months now as he has worked through his knee issues and we were hoping that we could get him back to a place where he could make an impact on-field, which is why we retained his place via our rookie list. </p>
  432.  
  433.  
  434.  
  435. <p>“However, we respect that Brad needs to think about his long-term health first and support him in this decision.</p>
  436.  
  437.  
  438.  
  439. <p>“Brad and the entire Crouch family will always be welcome at St Kilda, and we wish them all the best for the future.”</p>
  440.  
  441.  
  442.  
  443. <p>Despite his time on the park coming to an end, Crouch will remain with the club after being appointed as a non-playing assistant coach</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/11/brad-crouch-forced-to-call-time-on-career-due-to-degenerative-injury/">Brad Crouch forced to call time on career due to degenerative injury</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">The Dark Side of Online Gaming: Addiction and Its Consequence</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  467.  
  468.  
  469.  
  470. <p>Mam’s court hearing is scheduled for December 16 and he was hit with drug driving and unlicensed driving charges by police following an car crash on October 18.</p>
  471.  
  472.  
  473.  
  474. <p>The playmaker collided head-on with an Uber driver carrying a woman and her four-year-old daughter in Brisbane and three days later checked himself into a rehab centre.</p>
  475.  
  476.  
  477.  
  478. <p>With his career at a crossroads, Mam has now reportedly began working unpaid on a job site in Brisbane since checking out of the facility according to Code Sports. </p>
  479.  
  480.  
  481.  
  482. <p>Mam is now on the tools five days a week, starting his days at 5am similarly to Eels recruit Josh Addo-Carr who spent time on the work site during his NRL exile.</p>
  483.  
  484.  
  485.  
  486. <p>Maguire is reportedly adamant the Broncos won’t be sacking Mam, however Brisbane bosses are planning to be without the five-eighth for the entire 2025 season.</p>
  487.  
  488.  
  489.  
  490. <p>The Broncos have since signed veteran playmaker Ben Hunt on a two-year deal believed to be worth around $600,000 per-season.</p>
  491.  
  492.  
  493.  
  494. <p>Mam’s five-year contract worth a reported $4 <strong><a href="https://bit.ly/Outlookindiacom2023">토토사이트</a></strong> million will reportedly remain in place, however he won’t attend pre-season training until January at the earliest. </p>
  495.  
  496.  
  497.  
  498. <p>The NRL Integrity Unit will reportedly keep a close eye on Mam’s court hearing before making a decision regarding potential fines or suspensions for the playmaker.</p>
  499.  
  500.  
  501.  
  502. <p>Maguire, speaking to News Corp, said that Mam’s incident hasn’t been “taken lightly” but backed the club to learn from the situation. </p>
  503.  
  504.  
  505.  
  506. <p>“Culture makes great organisations so we have to all take ownership for what’s going on,” he said.</p>
  507.  
  508.  
  509.  
  510. <p>“Moving forward we will be steady and slow about our decision but we need to make sure as an organisation we take the incident and make sure we grow from that.</p>
  511.  
  512.  
  513.  
  514. <p>“That’s the last thing we want to be around, is something like that.”</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/11/5am-starts-and-no-pay-madges-building-site-reality-check-for-mam-revealed/">5am starts and no pay Madge’s building site reality check for Mam revealed</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">The Dark Side of Online Gaming: Addiction and Its Consequence</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

  628. <p>Channel 7 has announced the worst kept secret in football TV with industry giant Craig Hutchison making the move to the network.</p>
  629.  
  630.  
  631.  
  632. <p>Seven’s Wednesday morning confirmation also showed its hand to rival Channel 9 as the networks prepare to go head to head in 2025.</p>
  633.  
  634.  
  635.  
  636. <p>The footy media is undergoing one of its biggest shake-ups and Hutchison is one of the final pieces Seven is putting in place to challenge Nine’s mid-week dominance.</p>
  637.  
  638.  
  639.  
  640. <p>One of the biggest moves announced recently was Fox Footy’s coup in signing up legendary AFL/VFL star turned four-time premiership coach Leigh Matthews.</p>
  641.  
  642.  
  643.  
  644. <p>Four-time premiership player Shaun Burgoyne and Geelong champion Tom Hawkins will also join Fox Footy’s commentary team in 2025.</p>
  645.  
  646.  
  647.  
  648. <p>Watch every game of the NAB AFL Women’s Finals Series LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. </p>
  649.  
  650.  
  651.  
  652. <p>Hutchison, meanwhile, is returning to Seven after previously being with the network for 18 years.</p>
  653.  
  654.  
  655.  
  656. <p>Wednesday’s announcement showed Hutchison will be directly going up against his former colleagues from Channel 9’s Footy Classified when he hosts Seven’s new The Agenda Setters program.</p>
  657.  
  658.  
  659.  
  660. <p>The footy panel show will feature on Monday and Tuesday nights. Hutchison will host the Monday edition.  </p>
  661.  
  662.  
  663.  
  664. <p>Hamish McLachlan will host the new Wednesday night project.</p>
  665.  
  666.  
  667.  
  668. <p>Hutchison’s production company Rainmaker will be producing several of the new AFL programs on Seven.</p>
  669.  
  670.  
  671.  
  672. <p>The SEN chief executive will be forced to cut all ties with Nine as a result.</p>
  673.  
  674.  
  675.  
  676. <p>Seven announced in a statement big signings Kane Cornes and Nick Riewoldt will join Hutchison on the Monday night.</p>
  677.  
  678.  
  679.  
  680. <p>Seven’s football productions will look almost unrecognisable in 2025 with veteran football journalist Caroline Wilson also saying her move to the network is imminent.</p>
  681.  
  682.  
  683.  
  684. <p>Wilson on Tuesday teased there was going to be “interesting” news from within the footy media industry and her information was spot on.</p>
  685.  
  686.  
  687.  
  688. <p>Nine’s biggest move has been the hiring of Essendon great James Hird.</p>
  689.  
  690.  
  691.  
  692. <p>Seven has also said goodbye to some talent with Luke Darcy stepping away from his media roles with the network and Triple M. Tim Watson is also finishing up at the end of 2024.</p>
  693.  
  694.  
  695.  
  696. <p>Presenter Rebecca Maddern is also going to take up a newly-created role as chief sports presenter with Channel 7. </p>
  697.  
  698.  
  699.  
  700. <p>Seven’s new direction to beef up its football content comes after years of private concern from the AFL that the network had not been doing enough to promote the game.</p>
  701.  
  702.  
  703.  
  704. <p>That is about to change. Dramatically.</p>
  705.  
  706.  
  707.  
  708. <p>Hutchison said in a Channel 7 statement: “Seven is the home of free-to-air AFL, and has an unrivalled history, legacy and contribution to AFL football. <strong><a href="https://www.totosafeguide.com">먹튀검증가이드</a></strong> These new shows will shape and set the agenda of the weekday discussion of football, which is at the heart of the game.</p>
  709.  
  710.  
  711.  
  712. <p>“The media and opinions around the game is the zeitgeist of what fuels Australian football, and we will bring the game’s biggest names to the table and call it as it is. </p>
  713.  
  714.  
  715.  
  716. <p>“And on a personal level, to return to Seven where I spent many years earlier in my career is an honour.”</p>
  717.  
  718.  
  719.  
  720. <p>During the 2025 AFL season, Fox Footy commentary and production will be available on all games for the first time along with no ad-breaks during play.</p>
  721.  
  722.  
  723.  
  724. <p>With Fox Footy able to commentate all nine games each round, it’s expected the likes of Gerard Whateley and Matt Hill will call games on the network</p><p>The post <a href="https://casinoblog.day/2024/11/channel-7-lands-massive-fish-in-footy-media-war/">Channel 7 lands massive fish in footy media war</a> first appeared on <a href="https://casinoblog.day">The Dark Side of Online Gaming: Addiction and Its Consequence</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
