US Sports Betting Heads for First $3 Billion Handle Month
National (sports) - Matthew Waters, Legal Sports Report - Legal US sports betting handle appears to have eclipsed the $3 billion mark for the first time in October.

This Week in Gambling: New Las Vegas casino restrictions and closures

Resorts in Nevada just reopened in June after their coronavirus closure. But now, new Las Vegas casino restrictions have been announced by Governor Stephen Sisolak. Additionally, some casinos are closing during the week due to a lack of tourists, while some Vegas attractions have been shut down permanently.

Just in time for the holidays, a fresh new set of Las Vegas casinos COVID restrictions have arrived. The Governor of Nevada made the announcement and said those restrictions would go into force tomorrow, November 24th, and past at least three weeks.

Nevada's governor said on Sunday he was tightening new Las Vegas casino restrictions over Coronavirus, and that those same restrictions would also apply to restaurants and bars in the state.

These new measures are effective now and come as state and local government leaders around the country have moved to reinstate a wide range of limits to tame an alarming surge of infections following a summertime lull in the pandemic. They could eventually lead to a Las Vegas second shut down.

Casinos and other gaming facilities are limited to a 25% occupancy and must follow the guidelines of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. “If [the casino] doesn’t obey them, they will face the results portrayed by the Gaming Control Board,” Sisorak said of compliance at the local casino. Restaurants and bars in the gaming facility are also limited to a 25% occupancy.

Macau CEO likely to extend casino licenses by 3-years: MS
Asia (Macau) - Asia Gaming Brief - Macau’s Chief Executive, Ho Iat Seng, is likely to use his executive powers to extend the current casino concessions for a further three years from 2021, Morgan Stanley says in a note. The firm argues that there is now not enough time for a law to be passed, for the public to be consulted and to prepare the re-tendering process before the concessions expire in June 2022. The firm says the CE has the power to extend for five years, but will only extend for three, as he already extended the concessions of SJM Holdings and MGM China in 2019, who have thus already used up two years. https://bit.ly/2LvDMHG

Danville area residents could bet on 2021 Super Bowl
Virginia (sports) - Elias Weiss, Star Tribune - In a Virginia General Assembly meeting last month, Virginia Lottery Director Kevin Hall confirmed he’s shooting to launch sports betting in the commonwealth in early 2021.

This Week in Gambling: US sports betting growth and expansion.

Half of all the states in America now regulate betting on sports, and more are sure to follow. This week J. Todd looks at the gambling news of U.S. sports betting as it continues to grow and shatter records.

Record Pennsylvania sports betting and online gambling revenue in October drove overall market revenue up 12.9% year-on-year, according to new figures from the state Gaming Control Board. Statewide gambling revenue for the month totaled $320.2 million, up from $283.7m in the same month last year, and also 12.7% higher than $284.2 million in September this year.

Meanwhile, New Jersey sports betting enjoyed their first-ever $800 million month, putting the state on the path to the best year in terms of wagering of any legal jurisdiction, a shocking achievement in such an unusual year. New Jersey's online and retail sports books combined to break their own monthly all-jurisdiction record for the third consecutive month with $803.1 million in bets in October.

APCW Perspectives: A frosty day in hell.

J.Todd returns from the Thanksgiving break to cover stories from the U.K. Advertising Standards Authority, as well as problem gambling headlines from Australia.
