Nevada Sports Books Can Now Accept Wagers On Olympic Events

Sports books in Nevada now "can accept wagers on Olympic events," after the state's Gaming Commission approved an alteration in regulatory language that "prohibits wagers on amateur sports, which previously included the Olympics." The updated rules state that betting is "permitted on sporting events sanctioned" by the IOC. The South Point casino requested the change, and sports book operators William Hill, CG Technology and the Westgate "all filed letters in support" (VEGASINC.com, 2/26).
