1
00:00:00,567 --> 00:00:01,268
So stepping back

2
00:00:01,335 --> 00:00:02,536
to your larger research

3
00:00:02,603 --> 00:00:03,604
describe the

4
00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:05,472
explosion of online

5
00:00:05,539 --> 00:00:06,907
betting that we've seen.

6
00:00:06,974 --> 00:00:08,575
So the really big trigger

7
00:00:08,642 --> 00:00:09,243
point for that

8
00:00:09,309 --> 00:00:11,011
was a U.S. Supreme Court

9
00:00:11,078 --> 00:00:12,579
ruling in 2018.

10
00:00:12,646 --> 00:00:14,181
What that did, is it

11
00:00:14,248 --> 00:00:15,315
essentially paved

12
00:00:15,382 --> 00:00:17,184
the way for states to it

13
00:00:17,251 --> 00:00:18,952
you know, struck down a law

14
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:20,988
that previously had barred

15
00:00:21,054 --> 00:00:22,723
most states outside of Nevada

16
00:00:22,789 --> 00:00:23,924
from legalizing

17
00:00:23,991 --> 00:00:25,392
sports gambling.

18
00:00:25,459 --> 00:00:27,761
And what we saw was a very

19
00:00:27,828 --> 00:00:29,363
swift reaction

20
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:31,265
to that Supreme Court ruling.

21
00:00:31,331 --> 00:00:32,232
We are now

22
00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:33,534
at last count

23
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,235
I believe, at 39 states

24
00:00:35,302 --> 00:00:36,470
that have some form of

25
00:00:36,537 --> 00:00:39,273
of legalized sports betting.

26
00:00:39,339 --> 00:00:40,340
Nearly all of them

27
00:00:40,407 --> 00:00:42,776
permit online sports betting.

28
00:00:42,843 --> 00:00:44,344
So that has brought

29
00:00:44,411 --> 00:00:45,646
about a really rapid shift

30
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:46,547
in this whole landscape

31
00:00:46,613 --> 00:00:47,648
just since 2018.

32
00:00:47,714 --> 00:00:48,882
Do you expect this

33
00:00:48,949 --> 00:00:50,184
move to legalize

34
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:51,418
it in Wisconsin will die

35
00:00:51,485 --> 00:00:53,187
or be revived somehow

36
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:54,555
possibly through the courts?

37
00:00:54,621 --> 00:00:55,289
I would expect

38
00:00:55,355 --> 00:00:56,023
that the discussion

39
00:00:56,089 --> 00:00:57,157
is far from finished.

40
00:00:57,224 --> 00:00:58,759
I would expect that there's

41
00:00:58,825 --> 00:00:59,393
going to be

42
00:00:59,459 --> 00:01:00,494
a lot more discussion

43
00:01:00,561 --> 00:01:01,929
both among the stakeholders

44
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:02,563
the tribes

45
00:01:02,629 --> 00:01:03,163
and some of

46
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:04,531
the other stakeholders

47
00:01:04,598 --> 00:01:05,966
because everybody

48
00:01:06,033 --> 00:01:06,500
kind of sees

49
00:01:06,567 --> 00:01:07,167
where the national

50
00:01:07,234 --> 00:01:08,702
landscape is going.

51
00:01:08,769 --> 00:01:10,437
But, you know

52
00:01:10,737 --> 00:01:12,172
I would not dare

53
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:13,073
to make a prediction as to

54
00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:14,741
how it's going to turn out.

55
00:01:14,808 --> 00:01:15,475
But what we see

56
00:01:15,542 --> 00:01:16,176
is that our

57
00:01:16,243 --> 00:01:17,244
neighboring states

58
00:01:17,311 --> 00:01:18,278
have legalized this

59
00:01:18,345 --> 00:01:19,313
in some form

60
00:01:19,379 --> 00:01:20,247
so many other states

61
00:01:20,314 --> 00:01:21,515
across the country.

62
00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:22,316
And so

63
00:01:22,382 --> 00:01:23,717
I think it's just going

64
00:01:23,784 --> 00:01:24,384
to continue

65
00:01:24,451 --> 00:01:25,419
to be a really hot topic

66
00:01:25,485 --> 00:01:27,154
going forward.
