Casinos prepare for Supreme Court ruling on sports betting
By Nicole Raz, Las Vegas Review-Journal
At least 18 states are poised to introduce bills this year to regulate sports betting, according to a new report.
Of those, the report by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming suggests 12 have a good chance of enacting legislation.
“I believe if the U.S. Supreme Court makes a decision that allows states to move freely on this issue, I think they’ll take them up on that offer,” said Chris Grove, managing director of Eilers & Krejcik Gaming in Las Vegas.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to decide by June on a case brought by New Jersey that seeks to overturn a ban on sports betting in all but four states: Delaware, Montana, Nevada and Oregon.
