Sports Betting In Vegas Becomes More Homogenized

I love sports betting. I write about it pretty often on ECG and I tweet about it even more often.

People throw their virtual hands in the air whenever a company like Harrah’s or MGM Resorts International expands in Vegas and other markets.

Well, that’s happening with my sports betting more and more by the day as Cantor Gaming expands their reach with sports betting on a regular basis. Tropicana and Cosmopolitan are the two most recent casinos to add Cantor products.

Cantor is apparently getting another excellent “display case” for its growing line of wagering products that now include remote/mobile gaming and In-running Wagering, which are now available at casinos such as the M Resort, the Venetian-Palazzo complex and the Hard Rock Casino.

Cantor also recently negotiated the right to operate a race and sports book at the Tropicana, a casino whose new owners are looking for the customer-pleasing tools with the potential to give them a step up on the competition. Current plans call for the Tropicana book to be open in time for football season.

It’s already difficult to find a point spread advantage in Vegas casinos and Cantor’s expansion can’t help that as they can hit one button and change lines in multiple casinos. No different than Harrah’s and MGM, respectively.

With that being said, Cantor may bring more good than bad to sports betting. My first instinct always thinks the worst.
