This Week in Gambling

Hold your horses there, son! All those who had been hoping for the launch of Kansas sports betting in time for the kickoff of the NFL Season might be disappointed. Then again, maybe not.

The Gaming Commission is also in charge of putting together industry regulations when their board takes up the issue sometime this month. And September 1st is the day that the Lottery is…

It’s been a wild week of gambling news, with rumors still flying about both a Las Vegas NBA and an MLB team.

After all, it was Baker who was pushing for sports bets in his state from the very beginning. He even filed his own Massachusetts sports betting legislation on the matter back in 2019. The bill will allow betting on some college…

A month’s worth of rain fell in only two hours, causing Las Vegas flooding that saw standing water in casinos and the closure of the airport. Streets became rivers. Parking garages became waterfalls. There was even water pouring from lighting fixtures in hotels. Down on Fremont Street, the Circa Casino had water coming from behind video screens. At Planet Hollywood water gushed from the rooftop.
