Friday, May 10, 11:15 AM Full speed ahead for the merger between WMS Industries (WMS +0.2%) and Scientific Games (SGMS +2%) after WMS shareholders officially approved the deal. The only thing left to line up now is approvals in key gaming jurisdictions. What to watch: During the Scientific Games earning call earlier this week (transcript), execs highlighted the enormous opportunities in Delaware where the company supplies a sports betting platform for the state's lottery. The combination of WMS-SGMS with national sports betting enthusiasm on the rise looks like an enticing mix. Comment! [Consumer]

Friday, March 22, 5:28 AM As expected, Nevada has granted 888 Holdings (EIHDF.PK) a gambling license to operate in the state, making the U.K.-listed company the first online gaming firm to receive a permit in the U.S. The move could have repercussions for Caesars Entertainment (CZR) and WMS Industries (WMS) - both of which have a partnership with 888 - Century Casinos (CNTY), Zynga (ZNGA), International Game Technology (IGT) and others. 5 Comments [Consumer]
Thursday, March 7, 1:03 PM 888 Holdings of Gibraltar and Treasure Island are the latest gaming firms to take steps toward setting up an online poker platform in Nevada. The firms say they will join with WMS Industries (WMS +0.3%) and Caesars Entertainment (CZR +2.4%) to set up a World Series of Poker website for Caesars. In order to gain approval from the state's gaming board, the group needs to convince the regulators that it can detect out-of-state users or collusion between players. 1 Comment [Consumer]
Wednesday, February 27, 1:45 PM The rush to buy casino stocks (BJK) due to the potential of legalized online gambling in Nevada and New Jersey may be a bit premature, according to analysts. Until state politicians works out deals one state at a time, projecting future revenue for individual companies is a bit futile. A more sure-fire play may be to load up on equipment makers looking to get into the action. Online gaming bets: International Game Technology (IGT +0.4%), Bally Technologies (BYI +0.3%), SHFL entertainment (SHFL +0.1%), Multimedia Games (MGAM +2.2%), and WMS Industries (WMS +0.6%). 1 Comment [Consumer]
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.
