Heed this article if you're all about the latest twists in the gaming world! I'm your guide, Grant Mitchell, former Virginia Tech graduate and ex-NCAA track and field athlete, with a knack for sports and sports betting. I'm here to keep you in the loop on the hottest headlines in the ever-evolving sports betting industry.
Since jumping into the professional ranks in 2021, I've been leaving my mark, collaborating with fine establishments like Forbes and VSiN, building a solid reputation as a trusted voice in the industry. When I'm not crunching numbers or dishing out insights, you'll usually find me pumping iron, exploring the city, or parked in front of the screen for the day's grand match.
So, without further ado, let's dive deep into the world of casino development and sports betting!
Casino Development
These days, becoming a "serious casino hopeful" means setting sights on establishing or expanding casino operations. However, when it comes to the hunt for fresh casino faces or their future playgrounds, the search results fall short of supplying the goods.
Typical suspects in the casino industry are big guns like multinational gaming conglomerates. They tend to chase after expansions in multiple locations but won't bat an eye at skipping town if the odds are against them. But don't expect to find a catalog of new blood in the provided results.
Sports Betting Industry
In the realm of sports betting, major players include:
- DraftKings: Known for their live betting craze, DraftKings has carved out a name for itself as a top U.S. online sports betting operator, having scored a tight race against FanDuel[1]. That's right, DraftKings will get you your fix of sports betting action anytime, anywhere. Despite their enthusiastic foray into the betting scene, they keep their focus firmly planted on sports betting and steer clear of traditional casino operations.
- Evolution: While they may not be the go-to for sports betting, Evolution is a force to be reckoned with in the iGaming world, focusing on live dealer games and leveraging opportunities in the U.S. market[2]. If you're more into digitized games of chance, Evolution's got your back.
Latest News
