Sports wagering evolving locally, across the nation

Change is coming to Nevada sports books.
At the state level, lawmakers recently approved a bill that allows groups of people to place wagers as a single entity.
Meanwhile, the industry is preparing for an even bigger transformation at the national level: the spread of legal sports betting throughout the country.
Senate Bill 443, passed by the Legislature this spring and signed by Gov. Brian Sandoval in June, permits business entities to place wagers at sports books. The idea is business partners can come together and marshal their resources to place bets for the benefit of the group.
