The legislation passed only applied to casino operators and racetracks. OTBs have different licenses and seemed to be excluded.

My take on the sports betting expansion is this — there’s a lot of initial excitement. It is a great thing to rid (as much as possible) the US of criminals running sports wagering operations. It is great for me as a sports fan and bettor. It will be around for the long term.

But a lot of these states are going to learn — there’s a reason there aren’t stand alone sports books here in LV. It ain’t a license to print money...
