"The EU is coming under pressure to lift protectionist restrictions which allow countries such as Germany and Sweden to defend their online gaming monopolies from Asian and American competition," Ms Carson explains.
In addition, the columnist notes how the continuing emergence of Macau as a global gambling powerhouse will continue to attract investors.
"The world of blackjack, poker and roulette is moving away from its Ocean's Eleven homeland and heading east," she writes.
Macau now has 28 casinos, with major US firms such as Las Vegas Sands, MGM Mirage and Wynn Resorts all represented in the Chinese enclave.
