This Week in Gambling

Betting on sports was legalized in May of last year. And since that time, sports betting in Colorado has grown every month… for nine consecutive months. Now, they are the 6th largest market for sports wagers in the country. January was another record month for the state, bringing in nearly $327 million. That’s up from just over $284 million in December and $231 million for November. Even better news for the state is that January’s record revenue netted the state almost $1.2 million in taxes, which was an increase of 125% increase from the previous month.

When the new legislative sessions starts March 2nd, there will be at least three Florida sports betting bills to be considered. The proposed regulations would allow mobile and retail sports books in the state with the possibility of gaming terminals placed at specific locations.

Now, in the face of the pandemic, will we see resorts put an end to the practice? A few of the larger casino resorts have already put an end to their buffets, including Wynn. In place of the buffet they’ve built a food court. That’s not to say the buffet is dead. In fact, South Point is still running their Garden Buffet with a few adjustments. And with loosening Coronavirus restrictions in the state, they just expanded…

Professional sports teams in the Lone Star State have been in a spiral dive for a while. And hope for regulated Texas sports betting does not look much better for the immediate future. Despite all the hope and rhetoric, several things would need to happen before any sports wagering legislation would pass. First, the state would have to amend its constitution to allow for the betting on sporting events. At this point, there doesn’t seem to be enough political support to make that happen.

It wasn’t that long ago that sports betting in Washington State was passed. That legislation, however, restricts the activity to Tribal casinos. Now, the push is on to expand the activity to card rooms in the state… a move that supporters say will add jobs and tax revenue. The bill has come out of the state Senate and is backed by the Nevada-based Maverick Gaming. They are the same company that backed a similar bill last year. That legislation ultimately came up short of their goal, however. Tribal gaming interests in the state are naturally opposed to expanding sports wagers…
