Eye on additional markets:
Both companies will also pursue sports betting chances in Maryland and Montana, subject to the passage of laws in the two states. Both states are moving toward legalization, with Maryland House Bill No. 989 introduced in February 2018, however, the proposed legislation didn’t move forward in last year’s legislative session. In Montana, two bills have been filed for the current legislative session, H 475, which would legalize pari-mutuel sports betting and 25, which would legalize sports pools and sports tabs.
Presently, Golden Entertainment operates distributed gaming at 300 locations across Montana and possesses Rocky Gap Casino Resort in Cumberland, Maryland.
Golden Entertainment declared the long term bargain with William Hill in October 2018.
