Correct.

FB already allow real-money bingo (and soon casino and slots following the 888 deal) to UK customers.

Neither party would comment on how this specifically would relate to the zynga/bwin deal, but maybe it's not such a longshot as a first thought...

Says this can take up to 18 months.

Baby steps...
I think this is more to do with Zynga becoming a brand partner to an online poker room in Nevada, not actually operating themselves in the state.

It does not say that any real money gambling Zynga does on other platforms will be brought to FB if FB allows it.

It says that if Facebook allows real money gambling in the future, they cannot exclude Zynga.

Close, but not the same thing.

Exact wording of SEC filing by Zynga:

Quote:
If Facebook allows real money gambling games on the Facebook web site in countries where Zynga has real money gambling games, Zynga will subsequently launch such games on the Facebook web site, if certain conditions are met by Facebook.
I think I remembered it closer than you

Note that FB already does allow real money gaming in the UK (Bingo Freindzy, I believe its called), and are set to expand with recent 888 deal.

A few days ago there was a front page story in the UK Daily Mail about Facebook offering real money gambling. Not a terribly informative read, but was a front page story none the less.

10-15% increase in fish traffic would not be bad at all, specially for the micros

15% more fish, a bunch more regs and so on
