US Sports Betting State of Play: Key State Status Report via Gambling.com
- Likely to pass, but will probably require a ballot initiative in November.
- This is because of Democrats wanting money to go to a source other than HOPE scholarships – constitutionally all lottery proceeds go there so this is the only way to divert some of those funds
- A ballot initiative could also open the door for brick and mortar casinos. Years of multi-million dollar campaign contributions could finally pay off for big casino.
- Sports betting unlikely to happen. Too much rancor over the tribes, and the Gov is quietly opposed to any sports betting.
- On track to pass. As long as it doesn’t get bogged down by VLT supporters in the Senate, this could pass in April or early May
- New bill in the House last week, with a hearing likely this week.
- If casinos and tracks can reach an agreement, this should pass easily. If no agreement, maybe a 50/50 shot. This is most likely to be decided in conference committees in May.
- Just getting started, too soon to tell. Prediction is that they’ll talk about it a lot but wimp out in an election year.
- Working on an agreement with Democrats to raise the taxes and fees. The challenge will be if we can maneuver this procedurally (without changing the current bill), and hope that the anti-gambling crowd doesn’t go all out to stop it. We are waiting until after primaries for that reason, so likely end of May/1st of June before anything moves.
- 75% chance of passage.
- Encouraging to have an iGaming bill, but its just the start of what should be a 2-3 year process. No chance they pass this without also addressing the downstate casino expansion.
- Came close to passing a bill to put the question on the ballot re expanding to mobile, passed the Senate but died in House. Governor is rabidly anti-gambling, her admin used some of the most questionable rhetoric to date in opposition to this.
- So far so good. 75% chance passing.
- Unfortunately, still dead on arrival. Churchill is still far from supporting sports betting, especially since they just scrapped their trash mobile app.
- Will introduce a bill this year but it won’t go far. Conversation starter, but they should follow in NC’s footsteps.

IGT Launches its Second Omnichannel Wide Area Progressive Game in Canada, Money Mania Slots
![igt-launches-its-second-omnichannel-wide-area-progressive-game-in-canada,-money-mania-slots](https://igamingradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/134578-igt-launches-its-second-omnichannel-wide-area-progressive-game-in-canada-money-mania-slots.jpg)
International Game Technology PLC announced that it recently launched its second omnichannel Wide Area Progressive (WAP) game for Canada, Money Mania slots. The game is currently available on British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s (BCLC) PlayNow.com site and at 22 BCLC-governed casinos throughout British Columbia. IGT is the only supplier in the world to offer omnichannel jackpot games with shared jackpot liquidity across the land-based, online and mobile versions of the games.
“We know our players love the excitement that the Powerbucks games offer, so BCLC is thrilled to launch IGT’s Money Mania – another title that draws upon the same opportunity for cross-channel jackpots. Both BCLC and IGT are passionate about bringing innovative games to players and fueling responsible growth in the industry. We also recognize that BCLC is in a unique position with our ability to offer cross-channel experiences for players. Whether players choose to play Money Mania at the casino or online, we’re confident this is another game they’ll love,” said Dan Beebe, BCLC Chief Operating Officer.
IGT’s Money Mania is a proven multi-level progressive (MLP) game that features player-favorite game mechanics and multiple base-game themes. The game includes a $100,000 top-level “Money Jackpot” and a fast-growing, fast-hitting second-level WAP jackpot – “Mania Jackpot”. With a jackpot-reset value of $4000, the game’s “Mania Jackpot” is designed to hit frequently, especially with land-based, online and mobile gameplay all simultaneously feeding the jackpot meter.
“IGT’s Money Mania omnichannel WAP game is designed to frequently deliver mid-to-large-size jackpots, drive cross-channel gameplay and engage BCLC players online and in casinos. Like Powerbucks, IGT’s Money Mania is at the forefront of jackpot innovation and supports IGT’s commitment to and leadership in omnichannel content and innovation,” said David Flinn, IGT SVP Sales, Canada, South and Central America.
BCLC was the first gaming operator in the world to offer an omnichannel jackpot game when it partnered with IGT for the 2016 launch of Powerbucks slots. Since then, IGT’s Powerbucks has remained one of the top-performing games in Canada and has minted more than 50 millionaires across the country.

BCLC has launched PROLINE – a first-of-its-kind digital retail sportsbook – across all B.C. lottery terminals.
PROLINE offers the most popular sports-betting options previously available on BCLC’s Sports Action, as well as other new offerings. In addition to Toto, Oddset 2-outcome, Oddset 3-outcome, money line, point spread, totals and props, single-event betting and dynamic odds will be offered for the first time at retail locations.
“This is an exciting evolution for BCLC and for sports bettors across the province. PROLINE offers an updated and innovative sports betting experience and is the pivotal next step for BCLC in offering exciting new sports products to our valued players,” Dan Beebe, Chief Operating Officer at BCLC, said.
To play, players will have to download the new BCLC PROLINE app on their phone, create their digital bet slips in the app and receive an app-generated QR code, which they can bring to any lottery retail location to scan and receive a printed ticket. As added flexibility, players can also create their PROLINE bets on their laptops or tablets through the PROLINE website.
BCLC is also planning for other new sports-betting experiences in the months ahead, which will include enhanced betting experiences at B.C. bars and pubs and exciting new offerings at B.C. casinos around the province.
BCLC is the official sports betting partner of the Vancouver Canucks, Abbotsford Canucks, Vancouver Warriors, BC Lions and the 11th Grey Cup, which takes place at Vancouver’s BC Place on November 17.
