Movers and shakers in the casino industry are moving quickly to take advantage of an expanded market, as Colorado’s gaming industry is looking to revive their customer base by offering new and exciting sportsbook products to Colorado gamblers.
As sports betting has become legal in the state, Eldorado Resorts has struck a deal with a well-regarded UK bookmaker, William Hill. Once it became apparent that Colorado was taking steps to legalize sports gambling on the state level, Eldorado Resorts and William Hill agreed to move forward with a 25-year sports wagering agreement.
