About

Provided by Butler Snow LLP

Butler Snow’s gaming team has the credentials and vast experience to help clients successfully navigate all aspects of this unique industry. We are known for our work in gaming jurisdictions throughout the U.S., involving licensing, regulatory & compliance issues, operations, mergers & acquisitions, financing, project development, real estate investment trusts, bankruptcy & restructuring, intellectual property, litigation, labor & employment and a myriad of other legal matters. Our team has a long history working with clients in Nevada, Mississippi, Louisiana, Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa, New York, Kansas and Virginia and several other states, as well as in Indian country. We also have experience with clients based outside the United States. Our clients include some of the nation’s top gaming and casino operators, gaming manufacturers, lenders and real estate owners. An emerging opportunity in the gaming industry is the expansion of sports betting outside Nevada, which was made possible due to a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision. Our attorneys are well versed on this enormous opportunity and its legal ramifications, including an understanding of how the industry has been regulated in Nevada and start-up operations in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia. We are leading clients into new jurisdictions and advising on all operational and regulatory aspects of sports-betting expansion for both established and new industry participants.
