In related news, Wiiliam Hill plc chief executive Ralph Topping told journalists on a results conference call this week that his company has applied for a full gaming license in Nevada, but that it would not take its eye off the ball in New Jersey, where moves toward legalising sports betting are in progress (see previous InfoPowa reports).
 
"While we are focusing [on Nevada] we better not overlook the move by Gov. Christie in New Jersey particularly to overturn the land-based ban," Topping said.
