Little is certain in the world these days, and in the very large category of the many loose ends in the coronavirus pandemic era is the question of what will become of sports gambling in Maryland.
Just before the Maryland General Assembly suspended its annual business in Annapolis ahead of schedule to comply with the common sense recommendation to avoid group situations, it passed a bare bones version of a sports gambling bill in order to keep a spot on the November ballot for a referendum question on sports wagering for the voters to decide.
Should the world return to a semblance of normalcy, and sports along with it, and if sports wagering becomes legal in Maryland, a corporate name that will become more familiar with local bettors is that of William Hill. With headquarters in London and Leeds in England, the longtime company has international bricks-and-mortar and digital sports wagering operations. In the U.S., William Hill operates 114 race and sports books in Nevada and has operations in New Jersey as well as several other states.
William Hill’s New Jersey sports books include Monmouth Park, a thoroughbred racetrack in Oceanport, and the Ocean Resort Casino and the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City.
