Is SportsBetting Coming to Delaware?

Over the past weekend, the United States publication News Journal, reported that there were suggestions by the racing industry in the location of Delaware that legalizing sports betting would actual be good for topping up state tax coffers and also good for getting gamblers to racings and their slots parlors in that state.
Industry officials argued that legalizing sports betting could actually help the state fight back against the casinos that are opening across the state lines. Last week, in a report that was published, it was forecasted that an additional seventy million dollars in annual taxes revenue could also be generated if Delaware actually allowed its racings to offer sports betting as well.
The Video Lottery Advisory Council, commissioned the report, the council is made up of casino executives and is written by a consultant that is based out of Atlantic City.
According to the study, sports betting in general would actually bring in nine point three million dollars out of the seventy million. The other revenue is actually based on theory that those who come for sports betting will actually stay and play the slot machines as well.
Upon that theory not all of the gambling experts agreed. A Boston consultant by the name of Will Cummings stated that he didn’t think sports betting would be a significant reason that people would be attracted to the gambling venue. He opined “that strikes me as being very aggressive”.
Academic Bill Eadington, who actually heads up the Institute for the Study of Gambling and Commercial Gaming at the University of Nevada at Reno, stated that people who enjoy one style of gambling are typically loyal to that particular game, whether it is slots, poker, horse races or sports betting. He said “there isn’t a lot of cross over”.
