When I hear the word “corona,” I think of five things in the following order from the most emotional and exciting to the most boring and inconsequential:
1) The Parker Solar Probe, the first ever spacecraft to fly into the sun’s corona
2) My Sharona by The Knack
3) My Bologna by Weird Al Yankovic
West Virginia sports bettors will soon have more mobile wagering options after gambling tech group International Game Technology (IGT) inked a deal with casino operator Delaware North.
On Tuesday, IGT announced it had signed a “multi-state sports betting agreement” with Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment for the latter firm’s casinos in West Virginia and Arkansas. The WV deal involves both retail and mobile betting while Arkansas is limited to retail betting (due to local law).
Delaware North operates two WV casinos – Mardi Gras and Wheeling Island – that used to offer retail and online wagering through a partnership with Miomni Gaming. But those mobile wagering operations were suspended last March after Miomni had issues with a third-party supplier, a situation that resulted in a flurry of lawsuits and a paucity of online wagering options for the locals.
Delaware North operates casinos in several other US states, including some where IGT is already powering other companies’ sportsbooks, so this may be the beginning of a beautiful betting friendship. Or not.

Switzerland’s online gambling blacklist is growing again, while the nation’s online poker fans are getting frustrated with their lack of legal options.
On Tuesday, Switzerland’s federal gaming board (ESBK) issued the latest updates to its list of internationally licensed online gambling domains that local internet service providers are required to block. The current update adds 35 domains to the list, bringing the total number of naughty names to 145 since the most recent update last November.
The new entries primarily consist of bog-standard online casino sites associated with Cyprus-based, Curacao-licensed operators, some of which openly promote their availability to Swiss punters by offering them deposit bonuses in Swiss francs.
The somewhat downmarket focus of the ESBK’s blacklist suggests that the regulator has been largely successful in convincing most mainstream online gambling heavyweights to kick their Swiss customers to the curb following the passage of the country’s new online gambling laws.
