permission from the federal Attorney General to offer sports betting but the American Gaming Association‘s Sara Slane hit the nail on the head and drove it clean through the board when she called the legislation “the epitome of a solution in search of a problem.” She added, “Additional areas this bill seeks to address – including the mandatory use of official league data and the creation of a national sports wagering clearinghouse – can, and should, be decided by marketplace negotiations between private businesses and cooperative agreements among jurisdictions.

WalletHub’s criteria include the cost of a three-star hotel room (#1), toy and hobby stores per capita (#3) and Christmas-tree farms per capital (#26).

Miller should be able to hit the ground running. Thirteen years of lobbying on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce won’t hurt either. Miller is said to run in conservative Republican circles, so it will be interesting to see how this affects AGA policy, particularly in the wake of the centrist Freeman. Perhaps Miller’s relationship with Sheldon Adelson will be less strained than was Freeman’s.
continuation of positive current casino trends.” He predicted an upward surge next July but “between now and then, the current four-month negative revenue trends among most of the seven [incumbent] operators will also likely continue until next summer and perhaps beyond.

James Sottile, trying to spin a loss as a win. Scientific had been dealt a serious blow last August 7 in a suit brought by Shuffle Tech. The jury not only found in Shuffle Tech’s favor, the $105 million in compensatory damages was subject to trebling plus court costs. This would have brought Scientific’s tab to $335 million. The parties settled out of court for $151.5 million, which is a serious haircut for Scientific but
