How sports betting legalization will play out in the US will be one of the highlights of this year’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E) at the Sands Expo, in Las Vegas

The event, which will run from October 3 to 5, will be attended by different industry leaders led by American Gaming Association (AGA) president and chief executive officer Geoff Freeman, who is expected to give a keynote speech on the future of sports betting.

For many, the discussion of sports betting legalization is rather timely. In the coming months, the U.S. Supreme Court will start hearing the controversial federal ban on legal sports betting. If there will be no any legal hiccup, the high tribunal will commence with its oral arguments as soon as late November and is expected to come up with a decision by the end of June.

Meanwhile, a Washington Post poll has shown that 50 percent of US adult sports fans are now in favor of legal sports betting against the 33 percent who stated their opposition.
