There are lots of rumours that Warren Cloud the casino tycoon is dead but no one has proved this yet. It is said that he had a massive heart attack whilst on a boating trip in the Spanish area of Ibiza. If all the speculation is actually true it will be the end of an era and the end of the most flamboyant and controversial casino owners ever involved with online gambling.

I think the proof was in the pudding as over the past 20 years, Cloud used many different names, he struggled originally with high debts and other problems but bossed his way through to a great career. Once the dodgy start was over he invented or took on the “Real Time Gambling software” and nobody had seen this before and it revolutionized the whole gambling industry over night.

His gambling world traded under many aliases like Crystal Palace, The lounge, The High Rollers Lounge and  the ever known Golden Nile Casino. He was never charged or arrested for any of his dodgy dealings and even changed the market by opening a casino in Costa Rica against a lot of complaints. So as you can imagine he was not every-ones cup of tea but if the rumours are true we have lost a character who is larger than life from the industry.
