Mandalay Resort Group's Excalibur hotel-casino in Las Vegas sued International E Gaming Consultants Inc. in a trademark dispute involving Internet gambling.

Mandalay sued to stop International E Gaming, a St. John's, Antigua-based company that registers domain names, its president Michael Donaghy and its client Peter Kretz from using the Excalibur trademark to offer online gaming.

But Donaghy denied it was responsible, saying: "We just register domain names for individuals like Kretz. We have no control over what they do with the domain name."

Kretz couldn't be reached for comment.
