New Jersey and Delaware Become First New States to Fully Legalize Sports Wagering
12 Juin 2018 - 3:13PM
Millennial Esports Corp. ("Millennial" or the
"Company") (TSX VENTURE:GAME) (OTCQB:MLLLF), a mobile
video game publisher focused on Esports and Racing, is pleased to
announce that CEO Alex Igelman will be appearing at the East Coast
Gaming Congress and NexGen Gaming Forum. Mr. Igelman will be
focusing on Esports in a panel discussion on the future of sports
betting at the opening day of the conference, which is being held
on June 13-14 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Last week, New Jersey
and Delaware became the first states other than Las Vegas to fully
legalize wagering on sporting events.
“With New Jersey, as expected, being one of the
first states to fully legalize sports wagering, the timing of this
conference couldn’t be better. It is an extremely exciting moment
for our industry, as wagering on Esports is something numerous
states are seriously considering,” said Mr. Igelman. “This is also
a very exicting time for Millennial Esports, as our competitive
gaming platform would prove very useful to individual states or
licensed gaming companies looking to expand into new forms of
sports wagering. We strongly feel that New Jersey and Delaware are
just the first of many states that will move to legalize sports
betting, offering tremendous potential growth for Esports.”
The 22nd Annual East Coast Gaming Congress and
NexGen Gaming Forum, to be held June 13 – 14 at Harrah’s Waterfront
Conference Center, will mark the 40th anniversary of gaming in
Atlantic City along with the dawn of a new age of legalized sports
wagering. Mr. Igelman’s 3:00pm panel discussion on June 13th,
entitled ‘Sports Betting: where does it stand in mid-2018 and
where is it going?’ follows the keynote address at the NexGen
Gaming Forum.
Although Delaware led New Jersey in opening the
betting window, allowing gambling to begin last Tuesday, New
Jersey is the first state since the Supreme Court’s decision to
officially make wagering legal in a State where it had been
prohibited. Delaware had been grandfathered in for select betting
options. Last Thursday, the New Jersey State Legislature voted to
legalize sports betting, paving the way for casinos and racetracks
to take wagers and provide the state with new sources of
revenue.
