Son of Former Senator Jailed for Over 132 Years in Thailand Amid Illegal Gambling Crackdown

(AsiaGameHub) -   A former Thai Senator's son has received a prison sentence exceeding 132 years for his participation in a money laundering and illegal gambling operation. Thailand’s Criminal Court charged eight individuals, including Narote Piriyarangsan—the son of ex-Senator Sangsit Piriyarangsan—with organizing and facilitating online gambling. As reported by local media The Nation, he did not show up for his court hearing following a temporary release granted in October 2025. Piriyarangsan was sentenced to 132 years and six months behind bars in a ruling delivered in his absence. Nevertheless, Thai statutory limits cap the actual imprisonment at 20 years. Extensive Network Court records indicate that Piriyarangsan and his accomplices ran an illicit gambling syndicate from December 2023 through May 2024. Throughout this period, financial transactions ranged from 1.7m baht (£38,450) to 54.7m baht (£1.24m).

SkyCity starts additional cost savings to counteract decline in visitor numbers

(AsiaGameHub) -   SkyCity Entertainment Group has expressed growing apprehension regarding its FY26 performance, citing the negative impact of macroeconomic pressures on trading and visitor volumes since March. The casino operator noted that broader economic instability is dampening consumer discretionary spending across New Zealand and Australia, leading to increased uncertainty for its FY26 outlook. Specifically, SkyCity pointed to rising fuel costs as a significant operational burden. While its Auckland and Adelaide properties have experienced the most notable declines in footfall, this trend has not yet impacted its venues in Hamilton, Queensland, or its current NZICC bookings. In a formal statement, the company remarked: “New Zealand’s economic climate has been difficult for some time. SkyCity has taken various steps to address these conditions, successfully surpassing our initial target of NZ$10m (roughly €5m) in cost savings for FY26.” “SkyCity is now launching further cost-reduction measures across its business and corporate divisions, and is bringing in external consultants to assist with this initiative.” Updated guidance SkyCity ha...
