West Virginia all set to launch sports betting

Members os the West Virginia Lottery Commission are ready for the first sports bets to be placed Saturday at Hollywood Casino in Charles Town.

“Our plan was to keep working on this, as we might have to add to it,” legal counsel for the Lottery Danielle Boyd said. “At some point we’ll get a final document and go through the steps like we do now for table games where the casinos will request an individual change as needed or as desired. Right now, we’re working on the universal document that all the casinos will abide by,” she concluded.

“What we’ve done so far is send this document out to the casinos and asked them for their internal controls. We’ve been reviewing all their internal controls to see if they meet the standard we’ve set forth. As we’re getting them up and running, there may be something that we have to type up or something we have to take a second look at.” – said, David Bradley, deputy director of table games.

“The commission is tasked with approving the internal control standards,” said Kenneth Greear, chairman of the Lottery Commission. “As we see the opportunity to modify those once we have approved them, then logic would tell you that there would be some flexibility that the Lottery would have to implement those until such time the as the Lottery goes through the approval process in the final stage.”
