Just when things seemed to be returning to some normalcy, word has come of more Las Vegas casino closures. This time, however, it’s only a handful of casinos… and this time they are only closing during the week. Amid the continuing (and growing) pandemic, tourism has not returned in full force to The Strip, so it does make perfect financial sense that properties with less traffic would want to optimize their profits. The casinos not open during the week are Park MGM, the Encore, the Palazzo, the LINQ and Planet Hollywood. The properties are still accepting reservations for weekend stays…

Voters across America have made their decisions on gambling expansion in their states. They went to the polls in Colorado, Nebraska, and Virginia to approve expanded casino gaming.

Then the US Supreme Court cleared the way for states to legalize sports gambling in 2018 and everything changed. Since that time, several states have regulated and made a healthy profit from the activity. NFL sports betting partnerships have blossomed as the League relaxed years of strict anti-gambling policies. So where are we now? And which teams are leasing the way into the…

Tennessee sports betting was approved over a year ago. Now, as the launch date is upon us, the state has approved four gambling operators for the state: BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel and Tennessee Action 24/7. State law will permit betting on sporting events over the internet, including mobile devices.
