Buffalo Wild Wings mulls adding sports betting to their plate

Would you like some side bets to go with your cold beer and spicy wings, sir?

Popular U.S. sports bar chain Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW) is now eyeing a venture into the sports betting business in a bid to enhance the restaurant business for its guests, according to a report published in Gaming Today.

BWW reportedly has 1,700 bars across the United States where sports fans living in suburban cities usually hang out to watch the biggest league games, such as the NFL. The company believes it is in the best position to offer sports betting in the country despite usually being overshadowed by sportsbooks.

The restaurant chain confirmed to ESPN’s David Purdum that it’s “actively exploring opportunities, including potential partners, as we evaluate the next steps for our brand” when asked about its sports betting ventures.
