New Mexico became the sixth state to allow sports betting, joining Delaware, Mississippi, New Jersey, Nevada and West Virginia. The Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel in Bernalillo, N.M., officially began accepting sports bets last week.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board met to discuss proposals to expand the state’s sports betting market, whereby punters could place bets via mobile devices from outside Nevada’s boundaries.
MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment and Wynn have all backed the expansion that would also enable players to register remotely, as opposed to having to visit a casino.
However, not all Nevada casinos are behind the effort. Speaking on behalf of the Nevada Resort Association, Scott Nielson, who spent many years with Station Casinos, said the organisation has a preference to retain current regulations that require punters to register on-site.
