Delaware Trying to Keep Edge

Since the mid ‘90’s, Delaware has maintained some kind of a gambling monopoly on the area where it is located. With Pennsylvania now adding casinos, as well as West Virginia bringing in table games and Maryland considering slot machines, that monopoly is quickly changing.

Atlantic City has always had the casinos – since the 70’s – but only recently have they started competing again. They had taken a lot for granted, but with Philadelphia coming in with their slot machines, they have revitalized the city and are now bringing in more clients from Delaware than before.

It is these facts, and the knowledge that you have to stay ahead of the competition that has convinced some in Delaware that sports betting may be the next logical step. They say that by adding something that many others don’t have that they will be able to bring in more of those clients who have left them to go to casinos that might be closer to their homes.

Because they are the only state east of the Mississippi river that can even consider adding sports betting, it would give them something that the others cannot even hope to add to compete with them. Sports’ betting was made illegal in 1992 by the federal government, and only those states that had already legalized it can add it. Therefore, only Delaware, Oregon, Montana and Nevada can add sports betting.
