Kona Lottery Question? New Owner, Old Format????
Quote | Reply
I haven't seen this touched on and I don't know enough about business practices and legalities over seas, etc.

With the ownership of Ironman being moved to Wanda, a Chinese based investor, will the lottery come back as now the company is Chinese based?

American laws were broken for basically running an illegal lottery but the same system could theoretically be set up with China. Am I wrong to think this?

It was Florida law that was broken, and WTC is going to stay based in Tampa. That does not bode well for a return of the lottery.

WTC is still an American company. It just has a new parent company.

If WTC wants to reinstate the lottery there a simple ways to do it with very minor restructuring. But, that's only if they want to do it. They may be happy to leave it to just the legacy program going forward.
