As of April 8 2024, the company operating virtual reality immersive collaboration platform provider Glue declared bankruptcy under a decision by the District Court of Helsinki.

At casinos, the odds are never in a punter’s favour.
Now one of Australia’s biggest casino operators is facing the prospect of losing it all, with a top analyst predicting Star Entertainment Group has a 50 per cent chance of going into administration.
