Unconfirmed Report: Warren Cloud Dead

Unconfirmed reports from several sources are that prominent online casino owner Warren Cloud may have died of complications from a heart attack while on a boat off Ibiza, in Spain.
 
 
The South African online gambling entrepreneur used several aliases and was also known as "Don Fortune," "Richard Brooks" or "Oliver Curran" to many. He eventually became the biggest and most successful of the Real Time Gaming-powered casino operators with venues like Crystal Palace, High Rollers Lounge, Vegas Riches, Golden Nile Casino, Royal Circus Casino, Vegas Frontier Casino and many other brands.
 
Cloud can be credited with pioneering the online casino. After a few failed attempts and largely controversial decisions, he finally reached a top echelon of success at RTG.

His low profile of late led some to believe that he had retired at an early age.

He leaves a widow and one child.
