With Sports Betting now legal in the United States, a potential sports gambling revolution has been triggered and it is anticipated that by the year 2022, sports fans around the globe will be betting an amount of $1 trillion online each year.

One of the largest casino operators in the United States, Boyd Gaming, has 29 gaming properties in ten states and is currently positioning itself to be a major player in the sports gambling sector.

Boyd Gaming has enjoyed some special experiences in the Vegas Strip and has handled the biggest sportsbooks in Las Vegas over the past ten years.  The company is getting ready to branch out into a number of other regional markets now that sports betting is legal.

The company recently entered into an agreement with MGM Resorts, the casino chain that is endeavoring to corner the sports betting market.  Boyd Gaming and MGM Resorts have come to an agreement that will see them sharing online and mobile gaming apps for Boyd’s sportsbook in 15 states.  This is an unparalleled agreement that could be the start of a sports gambling empire, managed by Boyd Gaming and MGM.

Boyd Gaming has rolled out a new sports betting app, BConnected, in three casinos and has entered into a deal with FanDuel in terms of which it has leased out its gaming properties for FanDuel’s mobile and online sports betting platform.  This deal builds off of the company’s deal with MGM and covers all the states where Boyd Gaming holds gaming licenses, with the exception of Nevada.
