This is really big. So I guess now this leaves it up to the states to decide whether they want to allow sports gambling?

Literally the second LA approves it I’m betting Harrah’s has a SportsBook open in the masquerade space in 10 seconds.

Would be amazing. They still need a club somewhere though. Hopefully the full expansion plans take place.

Maybe I missed something, but weren’t some states already allowing sports gambling?

We'll see just how powerful the Southern Baptists still are with this, I guess.

The 2 fer-shur "No" states will be Alabama and Mississippi, I bet.

Thank goodness. Now legalize hookers and weed and I've got a damn good weekend lined up.

Yeah, I would expect any state that already has casinos to be acting quick on this. The casino lobbys will help make that happen.

But weren’t some states allowing online sports gambling like draft kings, etc? I’m not really familiar with the laws surrounding it.
