Bender says US midterm results could affect gaming proposals across states
Citizens analyst Jordan Bender said US midterm election outcomes could affect gaming companies and proposals in several states. Texas elected Vicki Goodwin lieutenant governor and Gina Hinojosa governor; Nebraska voters rejected two measures that would have legalised online sports betting. Bender said Ohio Governor-elect Amy Acton's win may ease the path to igaming, but the state's Republican supermajorities pose an obstacle.
Election outcomes may shape prospects for gaming legislation and commercial expansion in several US states.
