William Hill is set to open race and sportsbooks at three Terrible’s casinos in rural Nevada after the state’s Gaming Control Board recommended approval of its licence applications at its meeting on 4 November.

The applicant in each case is William Hill Nevada I, trading as William Hill Race & Sports Book, the Nevada business of Caesars Entertainment. It applied for nonrestricted licences covering race book and sports pool operations only, along with approval to offer off-track pari-mutuel race and sports wagering.

The three locations

  • Indian Springs: Terrible’s Casino on US Highway 95 north of Las Vegas, in Clark County.
  • Carlin: Terrible’s Casino on Fir Street, in Elko County in the north-east of the state.
  • Searchlight: Terrible’s Searchlight Casino on US Highway 95, south of Las Vegas in Clark County.

Conditions attached

According to the Board’s disposition, which is still marked as unapproved and subject to revision, each recommendation comes with the same five conditions:

  • changes to the location agreements must be reported to the Board within 30 days;
  • the operator must follow Nevada Gaming Commission Regulation 6.090 and the internal controls for computerised race books;
  • an approved reserve agreement must be in place before wagering starts;
  • each site must pass a surveillance inspection within 60 days of licensing;
  • switching a location between kiosk-only and manned satellite operation needs the Chair’s approval.

The applications now go to the Nevada Gaming Commission, which is scheduled to take final action at its meeting on 19 November in Las Vegas.

William Hill’s Nevada footprint

William Hill US describes itself as the state’s largest sportsbook operator, with more than 110 race and sportsbook locations plus the William Hill Nevada mobile app. The Terrible’s sites add to recent rural expansion, and the business has also been reinvesting in Las Vegas: Gamblita reported this week that William Hill reopened its renovated race and sportsbook at Rio with new kiosks, racing carrels and LED displays.
