Bahamas: Government statement due on web shop gaming referendum

THE BAHAMAS -- A major government announcement is expected in the coming days in relation to the country's proposed referedum on legalizing "web shop gaming", according to a Tribune report.

The government intends to consult with British gaming consultants, although they have also been criticized for a lack of transparency surrounding a previously promised consultant's report, the article said.

Ultimately Bahamians will decide the issue by virtue of a referendum vote, the Tribune reported.
