Seminoles to feds: “F*** off”; Strip casinos drive down employment
In a big “up yours” to the federal judiciary, the Seminole Tribe—after momentarily pausing—has resumed taking sports bets and is effectively daring the courts to do something about it. If that weren’t nervy enough, the Seminoles have asked Judge Dabney … Continue reading
Seminole compact nixed: Biden, DeSantis, Seminoles all lose
Floridians, we hope you enjoyed sports betting for all of the three weeks in which it was legal in the Sunshine State. Why? Because last night a federal judge struck down the Seminole Tribe‘s new compact with Gov. Ron DeSantis … Continue reading

Urban One loses; Station thinks big; NFL gets into the slot biz
Richmond voters narrowly chose to cut off their nose to spite their face, voting 51.5% against the Urban One casino proposal. Since casinos were approved by at least 65% in four other Virginia cities in 2020, the resounding question is … Continue reading

Biden wades into Florida swamp; New eras at Palms, Ocean
Intentionally or not, President Joe Biden (D) has done Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) a solid. He wants the federal judiciary to dismiss litigation that would invalidate DeSantis’ controversial compact with the Seminole Tribe. As amusing as the spectacle of … Continue reading

FanDuel gets up all up in your grille; Tahoe casinos: Fire? What fire?
What will sports-betting advertising be like once football season starts? Our prediction is for overkill, followed by backlash. As though to prove our point, FanDuel is unleashing a national ad blitz with a minute-long TV spot called “Anthem.” It’s so … Continue reading

Open season in New York; Ohio, Missouri boom; Scientific baffles
Rather than face (well-deserved) impeachment, New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) resigned in disgrace today. Which happened to coincide with the disclosure of the companies which have applied to be online sports betting provider(s) for the Empire State. Cuomo’s … Continue reading

Florida compact sneaks into effect; DraftKings buys out Fertitta

LV Sands overpromises, underdeliver; Court to Station: Unionize!

Nevada conventions healthy, Nevadans not so much
Tourism to Las Vegas in May was 12% higher than April and June should continue the climb, even if long-awaited World of Concrete was a flop (one-sixth of the expected attendance). Next up was the Nightclub & Bar Show, which … Continue reading
