This Week in Gambling

The streak continues! April was the 14th month in a row where gambling revenue in Nevada topped the $1 billion mark. But how much longer can this wild ride last? Even though the numbers are still impressive, April was the first month of this billion dollar streak to see almost no growth. The figures seem to have stalled for the moment, and we will have to wait for May’s numbers to know if the record breaking run is over. There are some concerns that the state may be entering a “slow growth” period, and that the rising rate of inflation…

Last month we told you that Michigan Interstate poker could become a reality as the state set their sights on growth. They sought to become part of a larger poker compact that already exists between Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware. And now, just a few weeks later, they have done exactly what they set out to do. Poker games across state borders are officially live in Michigan, and players there can sit down at the virtual tables with players from these other states. By joining the compact, the Michigan Gaming Control Board stated that the state “…will almost double the…

We have watched regulated sports betting sweep across the country like wildfire. The US Supreme Court decided just over four years ago that the decision to allow sports wagers was a States Rights issue, and in that time over half of them have decided to legalize the activity. Just this month, Maine sports betting became the 34th market in the nation. Then a few weeks later, sports betting in Kansas followed as the 35th. This naturally makes us wonder (and probably many of you) about which states will be the next to have regulated sports betting. Maybe even this year!…

It’s official! Regulated sports betting has come to Kansas, making them the 35th state to pass legislation to legalize the activity. Industry insiders believe that Kansas sports betting will be up and running in time for this years NFL season. The Hollywood Casino in Kansas City, run by Penn National Gaming, say they plan to launch retail and mobile sports betting the first day they are legally permitted. Governor Laura Kelly signed the bill into law which found her desk just last month. The activity is expected to generate over $40 million within 5 years, and 80% of that revenue…
