PLAYLOUISIANA.COM: LOUISIANA SPORTSBOOKS TO DRAW MORE THAN $2.5 BILLION IN ANNUAL WAGERING ONCE MARKET MATURES

Published

on

State’s sportsbooks will benefit from tourism, geography, fueling industry that could generate as much as $30 million in annual taxes for the state

Louisiana will open the doors to a sports betting industry that will use rich natural advantages to one day turn the state into a market that will attract more than $2.5 billion in annual sports wagers and more than $200 million in operator revenue, according to estimates by PlayLouisiana, which tracks the state’s regulated online gaming and sports betting market.

“Louisiana should be able to outperform its relatively small population,” said Eric Ramsey, analyst for the PlayUSA.com network, which includes PlayLouisiana.com. “In fact, as a market Louisiana shares many of the same attributes that have made New Jersey and Nevada sports betting meccas. The state has long been home to a thriving casino industry, New Orleans itself can draw tourists from all over the country, and Louisiana is not bordered by another state that offers both retail and online sports betting.”

Gov. John Bel Edwards is expected to sign the bill that will legalize retail and mobile sports betting across the state. Currently, 21 states and Washington D.C. have an active legal sports betting industry in some form, and Louisiana would be joining nine other states that have approved sports betting in some form and are preparing for launch later this year or next.

With a population of more than 4.6 million people, Louisiana should generate $2.5 billion in retail and online sports wagering by the market’s third year, according to PlayLouisiana projections. Assuming an approximate 8% “hold,” which is the percentage sportsbooks keep after paying out winning bets, those wagers would produce $200 million in operator revenue. The bill calls for a 15% levy on online bets and 10% rate on retail betting. At that rate, online and retail sports betting would yield as much as $30 million in taxes annually.

Among states with an active sports betting industry, Louisiana most closely compares to Colorado, which is home to 5.8 million people. Colorado launched its industry under difficult circumstances in May 2020, but still managed $2.3 billion in wagers and $147.4 million in gross gaming revenue in its first year.

Louisiana is a smaller state, but it has the potential to drive significantly more wagering than its population might suggest. One of those attributes includes the unique structure of Louisiana’s sports betting bill, which will allow sports wagering kiosks to be placed at thousands of bars, restaurants and truck stops across most of the state. Its balanced tax rates will be appealing to operators, too, which will make it more likely that there will be enough demand to reach the state’s ceiling of 41 sports betting apps.

“The basic framework will be appealing for sportsbook operators, and that will help the state reach its potential,” said Dustin Gouker, lead analyst at PlayUSA.com. “Even more, Louisiana set up a relatively open and competitive market, which benefits consumers while making the industry a reliable revenue producer for the state for years to come.”

Louisiana will also benefit from an already large in-flow of tourists, particularly to New Orleans. Also, New Orleans is particularly appealing as a sports tourism market with fans regularly traveling from all over the country for special events such as college bowl games, the Super Bowl, and the NCAA Tournament, in addition to regular season games. In addition, Louisiana’s neighbors — including in Texas — will regularly travel across the border to place a bet.

Plus, the local sports scene is robust, with an NFL and NBA franchise, five major college football programs, and 12 NCAA Division I men’s basketball programs calling Louisiana home.

“New Orleans is one of the most popular tourism destinations in the U.S., and the regular flow of tourists from neighboring large cities like Houston, and even a legal betting state such as retail-only Mississippi, should be a boon initially,” Ramsey said. “Also, the state is home to passionate local fanbases, which is a help for any market. The bottom line is that most markets in the U.S. are without Louisiana’s collection of positive attributes.”

Major Casino Operators Ready to Invest if Georgia Lifts Casino Ban

Published

on

 

As discussions about legalizing gambling in Georgia gain momentum, major casino operators like Wynn Resorts and Boyd Gaming are poised to lead the charge if the state changes its restrictive laws.

During a recent Georgia House study committee meeting, Christopher Gordon, president of Wynn Resorts’ development arm, expressed keen interest in building a multibillion-dollar casino should legal barriers be removed. Similarly, Boyd Gaming’s government affairs vice president Ryan Soultz highlighted Georgia’s market attractiveness.

Wynn’s model would be similar to its $2.6 billion Encore Boston Harbor, suggesting that a new Georgia casino could employ up to 4000 workers and contribute substantial gaming tax revenue.

Although specific locations have not been chosen, both companies have indicated they would need constitutional changes to move forward. Their willingness to invest heavily in the Peach State demonstrates a strong belief in the untapped potential of the state’s gambling market.

Such developments offer a compelling argument for lawmakers to consider gambling expansion, marking a shift toward economic incentives as a primary motivator for legislative change.

Should Georgia proceed with legalizing casino gambling, the legislative language will be crucial in shaping the industry’s landscape. Key proposals may include requiring casino companies to invest at least $1.2 billion per resort and generate a minimum number of jobs, often set at around 10,000 per license. This ensures that any developments bring tangible benefits to the local economy.

Additional legislative demands include rigorous background checks for key personnel, proven industry experience, and adherence to strict technical and financial standards. Only companies with substantial capital and robust infrastructure, like Wynn Resorts and Boyd Gaming, are likely to meet these stringent requirements.
