Sports betting expansion is, in essence, online gambling expansion. So talk of a FanDuel online casino should surprise absolutely no one. After all, the company had been at the forefront when it comes to mobile sports bets, so this would seem to be a natural evolution. In fact, the sportsbook has already selected a creative media agency, Mischief USA, to help them attract a broader audience, gearing up for a FanDuel online casino growth as more and more states legalize and regulate the activity. We may even see an advertising push later this year. In a press release, the company…

Water levels in Lake Mead continue to plummet, soon reaching dead pool status. Could the end of Las Vegas be far behind? After all, without water there can be no city, right? Well, let’s stop right there, put the fear mongering aside, and take an actual look at what the falling waters in Lake Mead actually mean for Las Vegas. Nevada and several of the western states experience their worst drought in centuries, and climate change is turning up the heat. There is a very real possibility that the water levels in Lake Mead will fall so law that Hoover…

Don’t misunderstand. The Nevada water shortage is not just about Nevada. In fact, the drought in the western United States is having a profound effect on a total of seven states… especially California.

Nationwide commercial US gambling revenue totaled $14.81 billion in Q2 2022, according to the American Gaming Association’s (AGA) Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker. The total sets a new quarterly record for the industry, beating Q4 2021 by 3.3 percent.

Lake Mead has never been this low. Not since it was filled in 1934. Now, with the American Southwest in the midst of the worst drought in 1,200 years, the lake sits only about 100 feet from becoming a “dead pool”. Soon, it may not be able to produce electricity or supply water. Las Vegas depends on the lake not so much for the electricity generated from Hoover Dam, as Nevada only gets about 20% of what’s produced. It’s the water that Sin City is counting on, getting 90% of what they use from the reservoir. The other 10% comes…
