DHS Holding Co. Notes One More State Added
Dhs Holding, Co. (PL) (USOTC HSM)
Wednesday 27 February 2013
DHS Holding Co. (PINKSHEETS: DHSM) is proud to announce that another goal in U.S. adoption of online gaming has been achieved.
On February 26, 2013, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie approved online gambling in order to help revive casinos in Atlantic City and boost tax revenues in the state.
This is the third state to legalize online gaming, as Nevada and Delaware have already approved bills that allow residents in their states to gamble online.
According to the Reuters article, the New Jersey bill "will legalize Internet gaming to New Jersey's 9 million residents and also create opportunities for European companies with expertise in running online gaming operations."
DHS Holding Co. President Charlie Barrett stated, "This is another big step toward legalizing online gaming in the U.S., and puts our company in a good position to take advantage of the new legislations."
This comes on the heels of an unprecedented move by lawmakers in Nevada when they approved a measure to allow for state-to-state gaming agreements that could usher in the country's first interstate betting network. This bill, signed on Thursday by Governor Brian Sandoval, allows companies in Nevada to host interactive gambling for residents of other states.
Mr. Barrett continued by saying, "The movement to legalize online gaming in the U.S. is gaining momentum. DHS Holding Co. is very excited to be a part of it."
Online gaming is $180 billion per year industry and DHS Holding Co. will advertise and market LuckyFoxCasino.com worldwide in an attempt to capture its share of this $180 billion industry.

Online Gaming Looking Promising for US States
Dhs Holding, Co. (PL) (USOTC HSM)
Wednesday 20 February 2013
Citing a February 17th article in the New York Times, DHS Holding Co. (PINKSHEETS: DHSM) announced that online gaming in the United States looks promising. According to the article, two states, Nevada and Delaware, are already laying the groundwork for virtual gambling, with New Jersey soon to follow.
Quoting the New York times article, President Charlie Barrett stated, "Gaming bills have been introduced in Mississippi, Iowa, California and other states, driven by the realization that online gambling could bring in streams of tax revenue." According to the article there is an estimated 150,000 residents playing poker illegally in Iowa alone.
In New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie recently vetoed two online gambling bills, stating only that the proposed 10 percent tax was not large enough. The bill is likely to be refined and successfully resubmitted within the next few months.
The article also stated that "Overseas, online betting is generating an estimated $32 billion in annual revenue -- nearly the size of the United States casino market. Juniper Research estimates that betting on mobile devices alone will be a $100 billion worldwide industry by 2017."
Even social gaming companies that aren't traditionally thought of as being involved in gambling are getting into the business. Zynga, best known for its Facebook games Farmville and Mafia Wars, has recently applied to the state of Nevada for a gambling license.
Mr. Barrett concluded his statement, saying, "Online gambling appears to be reemerging in the US as a source for states to increase revenue, such as the example with many of the states mentioned in the New York Times article."
Online gaming is $180 billion per year industry and DHS Holding Co. will advertise and market LuckyFoxCasino.com worldwide in an attempt to capture its share of this $180 billion industry.

Development of Cenote Falls Shopping Center Begins in Belize
Dhs Holding Co. (PN) (USOTC HSM)
Tuesday 24 April 2012
DHS Holding Co. (PINKSHEETS: DHSM) recently announced that the company has broken new ground on the development of the Cenote Falls Shopping Center in Belize. It is the intention of DHS Holding Co. to approach and make offers to sign popular retailers to the deal, including McDonald's, Abercrombie and Fitch, Nike and several other top businesses.
The first phase of negotiations is being handled by Scarinci Hollenbeck veteran Jay Surgent, who will be charged with acquiring top-rated retailers to supply their products and services at the new one-of-a-kind shopping center.
"I would like to go on record that all of us at DHS Holding Co. are honored and thrilled to have Jay V. Surgent, of the law firm Scarinci Hollenbeck, as lead attorney for our interests in Belize," said DHS Holding President Charlie Barrett. "As partner of one of the most prestigious law firms in New York/New Jersey area, Mr. Surgent is a key part of our team and will greatly help us implement and realize our ambitions of a strong and productive presence in Belize with our planned Casino/Hotel and Shopping Center. DHS Holding hopes and believes that this is just the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship with Mr. Surgent."
The shopping center, which will be built on a 40-acre parcel of land, is a welcomed initiative to economic professionals in Belize, who agree the investment will help further the country's economic and social goals.
"As more American companies discover the excellent investment opportunities abroad, Scarinci Hollenbeck, has positioned itself with attorneys who have the capability necessary to take advantage of these international business opportunities," said Scarinci Hollenbeck Managing Partner Donald Scarinci.
DHS CEO Mike Rohling noted that nearly $100 million crosses the border from Belize to Mexico due to a lack of retail center options in Belize. The project is expected to provide more opportunities to the citizens of Belize and fuel the local economy.
