New Jersey’s Monmouth Park delays sportsbook launch
New Jersey’s Monmouth Park racetrack is pumping the brakes on its plans to offer legal sports betting by the end of this month.
On Tuesday, Dennis Drazin, CEO of the firm that operates Monmouth Park, announced that the property’s William Hill-powered sportsbook would take its first official wager on Monday, May 28, the culmination of the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
On Wednesday, the Asbury Park Press quoted Drazin said the track’s sportsbook would now only conduct ‘ceremonial’ wagering on May 28, which would reportedly involve longtime legal betting champion (and former state senator) Ray Lesniak, along with current Governor Phil Murphy and former Gov. Chris Christie, under whose watch the state’s multi-year legal betting quest began.
Drazin said the change in plans came about following discussions with State Senate President Stephen Sweeney, who “asked me to wait.” Drazin clarified that Monmouth Park wouldn’t take ‘real’ bets until the state legislature had signaled the all-clear.

Pennsylvania casinos await legal sports betting as tables tank
Pennsylvania’s casino operators posted a modest gaming revenue decline in April as action at their gaming tables grew cold.
Figures released this month by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board show the state’s 12 casino operators reported combined gaming revenue of $280.8m in April, down 1.56% from the same month last year. The total is also well off March’s record $300.5m result.
The state’s slot machines did their part to keep the numbers up, with statewide slots revenue inching up 0.2% year-on-year to just under $206.2m. But only four operators were in positive slots territory for the month, led by market leader Parx Casino, which improved 6% to $35.6m, while runner-up Sands Bethlehem dipped 1% to $26.1m.
Statewide gaming table revenue was off 6.2% to $74.6m. Sands led the table charts with just under $17.6m, but this was down nearly one-fifth from April 2017, and barely enough to fend off a surging Parx, which gained 7.1% to $16.5m. Third-ranked SugarHouse was well back of the pace with $10.2m (-1.8%).
