This week includes 3 reports that will change gaming landscape in the mid Atlantic area. One is the

The second is a referendum to expand gaming outside of Atlantic City. This will be on the ballot during the presidential election vote in November 2016. Meadowlands would be a strong possibility if gaming is allowed to extend to north New Jersey.
Pennsylvania is in the process of finalizing the budget for 2015-16. Since they are overdue by 5 months, the legislators are looking for new revenue streams. One strong consideration is online gaming and the expansion of slots to airports.

DraftKings and FanDuel were granted a temporary injunction and can continue to operate pending appeal.
