The year 2024, which is almost behind us, leaves an important legacy for everyone, people, associations and companies from almost all parts of the world: the now massive introduction of artificial intelligence. A legacy that has already demonstrated its weight and potential, to the point that the European Union itself has intervened with a framework regulation that member states can and must adapt, but which deserves and will surely have even broader impacts in the near future.
The year 2024, now almost behind us, leaves everyone, people, associations and companies from almost every part of the globe an important legacy: the now massive introduction of artificial intelligence. A legacy that has already demonstrated its weight and potential, so much so that the European Union itself has intervened with a framework regulation that member states can and must adapt, but which deserves and will certainly have even wider impacts in the near future. In everyone's life, as mentioned. And also in the gaming and casino sector , which just this year have begun to use artificial intelligence not only for the automatic detection of player behavior, a very useful tool also for the purpose of preventing or treating pathological gambling, but also at a generative level.

G&M News had an exclusive interview with the Director of Research of the International Gaming Institute at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (United States).

Southern Nevada is finding a way to supplement the Las Vegas Valley water supply through the air. A 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ professor and his students are able to collect water from the atmosphere in their research.
For visitors who use their own cars to get to Las Vegas or rent a car when they arrive, parking fees have become ubiquitous since MGM Resorts International began instituting them in 2016. Prices to park at major Strip resorts have since risen substantially, but there are both benefits and ways to work around them.
Try to throw some money down in a Las Vegas casino if you’re under 21 years old, and you’ll be quickly escorted out the door. Try to buy a lottery ticket at a gas station before at least 18, and you’ll face the same treatment.
