Casino City’s Friday Five: All-inclusive deals and Ohio restrictions edition

Earlier this week, Caesars Entertainment announced all-inclusive packages at a few of their Las Vegas resorts. In addition we have major news out of Ohio with legislation introduced that would severely change sports betting in the state. We have an Oklahoma resort opening its doors, the WSOP Online schedule being released, and another state welcoming online sports betting.

Let’s begin with the $10 million win:

2. Wisconsin governor signs online sports betting into law
Yesterday, Governor Tony Evers signed a bill into law, making The Badger State the 33rd in the U.S. to legalize online sports betting.

As a result, the state will need to strike new deals with American Indian tribes who will be the ones running the mobile sports betting since gambling is only allowed on tribal land in Wisconsin. Everything involving the infrastructure around online sports betting, including the computer servers, will be required to be located on tribal land, similar to the setup in Florida.

Gov. Evers stated he would not accept a plan that treats any one tribe better than another.
There is no launch date set yet.

1. Ohio lawmakers propose sweeping sports betting restrictions
Three Ohio House Republicans introduced a package of sports betting reforms Tuesday that would eliminate online wagering in the state and impose some of the strictest betting limits in the country.

State Representatives Gary Click, Riordan McClain, and Johnathan Newman unveiled the Save Ohio Sports Act at an Ohio Statehouse press conference, joined by addiction specialists, suicide prevention advocates, and problem gambling policy experts. If passed, the legislation would require all sports bets to be placed in person at one of Ohio's four licensed casinos and ban prop bets, parlays, in-game wagering, and all college sports betting.

The legislation would cap individual wagers at $100 and limit bettors to eight bets per day. Credit card funding of betting accounts would be prohibited, as would promotional offers like "free bets" and "risk-free bets." Sports betting advertisements would be banned during live game broadcasts and inside professional sports venues.
