Governor Arnold I. Palacios on Wednesday raised concerns about online gambling and the creation of a Tinian stable coin.

州長阿諾德·帕拉西奧斯（Arnold I.

"Isn't it the same thing...that the Philippines has, and even Palau? We need to be very careful how this thing is done," Palacios said at the Commonwealth Development Bank press conference.

帕拉西奧斯（Palacios）在英聯邦開發銀行新聞發布會上說：“這不是同一件事嗎？菲律賓擁有的，甚至是帕勞？我們需要非常小心這件事是如何完成的。”

It's a new type of gaming, the governor said, "but it's still gambling and [has the] potential of something occurring that we have to be very concerned about."

州長說，這是一種新型的遊戲，“但這仍然是賭博，並且具有我們必須非常關心的事情的潛力。”

The Philippines has its ongoing problem with online gambling, Palacios said. "We see it, we read about it, we hear it. And what are we doing? We need to be very careful," he added.

帕拉西奧斯說，菲律賓在線賭博存在持續的問題。他補充說：“我們看到了，我們讀了它，聽到了。我們在做什麼？我們需要非常小心。”

Palacios said it's "unfortunate" that the Legislature overrode his veto of Senate Local Bill 24-1.

帕拉西奧斯（Palacios）說，立法機關將他的否決權否決了參議院地方法案24-1的否決權是“不幸的”。

He said the lawmakers should have looked at what the Office of the Attorney General pointed out regarding the constitutionality of the measure, and the way it was drafted.

他說，議員們應該研究總檢察長辦公室指出的有關措施的合憲性以及起草方式的內容。

Palacios doesn't believe that the Tinian Casino Gaming Control Commission can regulate a crypto-related business.

Palacios不認為Tinian賭場遊戲控制委員會可以規範與加密相關的業務。

The override, despite the clarification from the AG, "was unfortunate," Palacios said.

帕拉西奧斯說，儘管AG的澄清是不幸的，”帕拉西奧斯說。

Asked whether the Legislature got it wrong, Palacios said, "I think so. I really do think so. Maybe they got it right, but I think they should have taken the time to call the AG [so he could] explain what it is that he was saying. But we'll see what happens."

當被立法機關弄錯時，帕拉西奧斯（Palacios）說：“我認為是這樣。我確實是這樣認為的。也許他們做對了，但是我認為他們應該花時間打電話給AG [以便他可以]解釋他在說什麼。但是我們會看到會發生什麼。”

Palacios said CNMI leaders "did the same thing" with the Saipan casino legislation "and the casino came, and then what?"

帕拉西奧斯（Palacios）說，CNMI領導人“對塞班島賭場立法做了同樣的事情”，賭場來了，那是什麼？ ”

"Did they even think about all these [things] that [have] happened?" referring to Imperial Pacific International.

“他們甚至想到了所有[已經發生的事情]嗎？”指的是帝國太平洋國際。

IPI operated a casino on Saipan for four years until the Covid-19 pandemic forced its closure in March 2020.

IPI在塞班島經營了一家賭場四年，直到1920年3月的Covid-19-19迫使其關閉。

On April 19, 2024, IPI filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing over $165.8 million in debt. Chapter 11 allows corporations to restructure while continuing operations.

2024年4月19日，IPI申請了第11章破產，並以超過1.658億美元的債務。第11章允許公司在繼續運營的同時進行重組。

"I don't even know if the principals of these companies were vetted to begin with. Who are they?" the governor asked, referring to the CNMI-based Marianas Rai Corp., which Tinian chose as an exclusive provider of software and services for the issuance and redemption of the Tinian token called the Marianas U.S. Dollar or MUSD.

“我什至不知道這些公司的校長是否被審查了。他們是誰？”州長問，指的是總部位於CNMI的Marianas Rai Corp.，Tinian選擇作為發行和贖回Tinian Token的軟件和服務的獨家服務提供商，稱為Marianas美元或Musd。

The Trade Council of the Marianas president, Vin Armani, earlier said that S.L.B. 24-1 "represented the efforts of dozens of experts and professionals, over many months, to provide a means for bringing significant tax revenue, in the hundreds of millions of dollars per year, to the municipal and central government, while having no casinos or gaming within the Commonwealth."

瑪麗安娜（Marianas）主席文·阿瑪尼（Vin Armani）的貿易委員會早些時候表示，SLB 24-1“代表了數十名專家和專業人士的努力，幾個月來，每年為市政府和中央政府提供了數億美元的稅收，同時在聯邦政府中沒有賭場或無賭場。”

Armani, who is also Marianas Rai Corp. co-founder and technology chief, added that "the internet gaming regime developed by Tinian would have blocked players in the CNMI or any U.S. state or territory from participating in the gaming, while verifying and tracking all players and funds in the gaming ecosystem using the latest technology."

Armani也是Marianas Rai Corp.聯合創始人兼技術負責人，他補充說：“ Tinian開發的互聯網游戲制度將阻止CNMI或任何美國州或地區的任何州或任何美國州或地區的玩家參與遊戲，同時使用最新技術驗證和跟踪遊戲生態系統中的所有玩家和資金。”
