The Nevada Gaming Control Board has unanimously recommended licenses for five sportsbook locations operated by William Hill Nevada and Boomer’s Sports Book under new partnerships or management arrangements.
The applications now go to the Nevada Gaming Commission, which could approve them at its 19 November meeting.
William Hill received recommendations for sportsbooks at Terrible’s Casino in Indian Springs, Terrible’s Casino in Carlin and Terrible’s Searchlight Casino in Searchlight.
Boomer’s applications cover the Nevada Nugget in Dayton and the Delta Saloon in Virginia City.
Board members approved the recommendations on 4 November without discussion or questions. According to the report, applicant appearances were waived because both operators had recently appeared before regulators multiple times.
The William Hill applications continue a partnership between its owner, Caesars Entertainment, and Las Vegas-based Terrible’s.
The companies worked together in July to resume sportsbook operations at Primm Valley Resort following a 17-day shutdown that attracted regulatory scrutiny.
Boomer’s owner Joe Asher has also made several recent licensing appearances, including applications involving the Four Queens and Binion’s in downtown Las Vegas.
Asher has said the business aims to have 20 branded sportsbooks operating across Nevada by the end of the year.
William Hill has meanwhile added or expanded locations during 2025 and 2026, including Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Hotel Nevada in Ely and The Verdi Grillhouse.
The recommendations follow mixed statewide trading figures. Nevada gaming revenue fell 0.1% year-on-year to approximately $1.3bn in September, after rising 3.1% to $1.27bn in August.
Nevada sports pools generated $32.6m in gaming revenue in August 2026, down 22.5% year-on-year
