Missouri's sports betting ballot measure vote totals continue to narrow; if it falls within a permitted recount threshold and "yes" is still up, I don't expect the "no" camp to challenge; if, in the unlikely event it flips to "no", I would expect supporters to push a recount

Texas Lt Gov Dan Patrick says only 3 or 4 Senate Republicans support a constitutional amendment authorizing Texas casinos. Wanting 15 or 16 Republicans to support a bill before he moves it, Patrick doesn’t expect Senate to give casinos a hearing in 2025.playusa.com/texas-casino-leg…

The CT lawsuit vs. VGW shines a spotlight on the hoops and hurdles a consumer has to clear just to redeem prizes -- i.e., minimum permitted withdrawal amounts (50 SC), limits on # of redemptions, "weeks long" approval delays, etc.. It's almost as if they want you to keep playing.
