Two US states – Delaware and Mississippi – moved significantly closer on Thursday to launching single-game sports betting within their respective borders.

On Thursday, Delaware’s Department of Finance announced that the state Attorney General’s office had assured it that there are “no legal obstacles to moving forward with full-scale sports betting in Delaware, including head-to-head-betting, which permits single-game wagering.”

Under the federal law that the US Supreme Court struck down on Monday, Delaware was allowed to offer parlay football wagers. The Dept. of Finance now says the Delaware Lottery “has had plans in place for months and we will begin training lottery and casino staff next week in preparation for a June launch of full-scale sports betting.”

Finance Secretary Rick Geisenberger told Delaware Online that software testing would commence alongside the staff training “but this will be a conversation with the casinos and we’ll start when we’re ready and they’re ready.” Assuming all goes well at the state’s three casinos, then bars, taverns and convenience stores – which currently offer the parlay wagers – would also be allowed to add single-game wagering.
