Thursday, April 4, 8:58 AM Gaming companies in Nevada are asking the state legislature to restrict the growth of strip mall slot machine parlors and sports betting kiosks as the proliferation of smaller gambling outlets starts to threaten the casino model.

Wednesday, April 3, 10:42 AM Casino stocks trade sluggishly as Zynga's push into real-money gaming in the U.K. appears to make it a more formidable threat to the sector.

Sector watch: Caesers Entertainment (CZR) -2.5%, Las Vegas Sands (LVS) -2.3%, Boyd Gaming (BYD) -2.2%, Wynn Resorts (WYNN) -2.1%, MGM Resorts (MGM) -2%, Penn National Gaming (PENN) -1.4%. 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]

Friday, February 22, 9:40 AM Casino stocks (BJK) show mild gains after Nevada approves a bill to institute online gambling. Though a positive for Vegas-centric companies and a negative for Jersey-centric players, until the parameters of online gambling are better defined it will be hard to separate the winners from the losers.
