Let's Have Sports Betting At The Racinos AND At Ten Existing Locations Across The State

Newark Post -
Legislation drops plans for new casinos in Delaware - Legislation that would authorize sports betting and "kick the can down the road" on a controversial plan to add new casinos and betting parlors has been introduced. The casino expansion had drawn fierce opposition from casino workers and owners. Suggested sites for the casinos included Wilmington and Sussex County.

Yikes, the racino monopoly shouldn't be allowed to be the only 'game in town'.
Bring sports betting to outlets in Wilmington and other munis across the state if the legis is not willing to bring more casino competition. OTB [Off Track Betting] 'parlors', perhaps licensed in existing locations, should be considered.
