“When they called my name,” remarked Brigid Bergara, “I was completely flabberghasted. I planned to attend the annual online gaming web design award night for fun and the after-parties, but lo and behold I walked home with an award for best new analysis and statistical measurement in a online gaming web design project.” “Brislan Dente was right,” relays Cecily Steinhouse, winner of the best illustration of classical online gaming web design design implementation, “to win an award here really means something. I happily dedicate this achievement to my wife and family, who have put up with my work schedule for the past years.” Winning an award at this online gaming web design ceremony is a marked achievement. There are three specific groups in the online gaming web design industry that pick lucky winners. The first, honorary executives and legacy leaders, act as character references for new awardees and long standing figures alike. The second group, a randomly selected group of online gaming web design employees, votes amongst themselves to choose who best represents their interests. Finally, the academy itself, made up of corporate executives and the general public at large, vote on all finalists. The winners are name according to simple majority. “All in all,” surmised Stiteler Riecke, who oversaw the organization of online gaming web design award presenters, “I think everyone had a great time. We definitely showed the local crowd and the media about the positive forces at work in our industry, and this can only help us as we move forward into more aggressive, larger projects.” A few notable politicains joined in the evening’s festivities, including long time online gaming web design industry supporter Mcconkey Furlan, who currently holds a seat in the state senate. State representative Englehart Dienhart, who also works closely with top online gaming web design industry execs, made an appearance during the second half of the show to present a special public service award to Mindy Shams from the Marquerite Reining & Jeane Aquero Corporate online gaming web design Design team. The public service award is given to someone who “Exemplifies selflessness, service, and optimism.” As always, the online gaming web design ceremony organizers pitched the crowd numerous times about joining local firms and teaming up with the professionals to work on design and production projects of their own. Several ads for executive level openings and administrative work were found in the ceremony’s program notes, all boasting solid fringe benefits and some of the most competitive salaries in the online gaming web design sector. Morgan Gladin and Hollingworth Mcphie, who were responsible for organizing the night’s after parties, recieved a surprise round of applause after being mentioned by name when Jenkin Donaghe, Online gaming web design Academy President, officially announced an open invitation for all ceremony attendees to celebrate beginning immediately after the close of the curtain. “The fact that the selection process for recognition int he online gaming web design industry is so complicated demonstrates a lot forethough and consideration for fairness,” said Weinstein Kurian VP of Operations for the Lamott Bueti INC Corporation, “and this goes hand in hand with the level of quality we as a online gaming web design industry demonstrate to the general public.” “Maybe next year…” smiled Vilello Kuehne, who missed an award by a mere tenth of a point to stalwart competitor Behymer Culcasi from the Weld Svedin firm. “I know the academy of online gaming web design design and production respects my work and I’m confident that I will win an award one of these days!”

As economic concerns continue to grow, it's becoming very apparent to most analysts that the internet economy, while heavily dependent on consumerism, is still moving along. Most internet company stocks have taken a hit, although the decline is proportional losses felt by all other sectors. Therefore, these companies, while not richer, are just as solvent as they were before. The information super highway, driven by new social media networks, auction sites, dating sites, and other forms of media continue to be strong attractions, taking in millions in advertising dollars on a monthly basis. Thus, it appears that as the USA internet economy continues to mature, less and less consumer focus will be placed on older, more traditional forms of production, such as manufacturing and assembly.

To subsidize state budgets and create jobs, many local governments are suggesting increased legalized gaming. Most states already have some form of lottery, and of this group, a large portion even have casino gaming sponsored by Native American tribes. In many ways, the hope is to reappropriate the wealth taken in by Las Vegas and other gaming centers, and redistribute it along statelines. Some states are thinking out of box, according to Mick Sloan, an analyst with the Meyers-Reed economic firm. "For example, Delaware is strongly considering legalizing sports betting next to its already highly profitable horse betting sites," remarked Sloan. Indeed, many others share this sentiment, seeing Delaware's clairvoyance as the way forward.

Some proponents have even offered new legistlation to legalize online gaming in the USA, a view shared by Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts. While Frank is busy with the economic stimulus program, activists are pursuing internet gaming as yet other way to create income. Chip Nester, a former Las Vegas casino CEO, recently stated: "I see what Delaware is doing, and I see what the internet is doing, and I put two and two together. Legal, regulated online gaming is the way forward. Look, in the fall alone, NFL betting profits to sportsbooks around the world goes into the billions. What's more, in the winter, NBA betting is yet another huge money maker. We're missing opportunities..."

Major software companies also see what is happening with sports betting and think the same can be done with online casinos as well. Nester and Sloan recently co-authored a white paper title 'In the Groove: How Gaming Can Help the Economy'. In this paper, Nester and Sloan cited offshore gaming profits as "case and point" for legalized gaming in the USA. According to the authors, "It may be possible, for example, to capitalize on basketball betting, but we think there is substantially more money in online casino operations. Teaming up quality marketing teams with online casino games software providers creates instant, sustainable profits." The offshore internet gaming economy is purportedly valued at over $12 billion a year and rising. Given this fact, Nester and Sloan make a good point.

In the end, the tolerance for online casinos or sports betting in the USA comes down to the voters. Legislators and activist groups can only go so far: it takes the will of the people to approve new fiduciary law, along with the creation of a internet gaming regulatory board. Concludes Sloan, "The creation of USA online casinos might not be far off, but we still have a ways to go in terms of getting public approval. Liberal law makers are already onboard, but we still need to get the rest of the electorate with us. In time, this will happen - I just hope it happens it time to benefit our national economy."
