Just last year, Delaware became the fourth state in the US to legalize sports betting. This was after Governor Jack Markell proposed its legalization, which was almost unanimously approved by the Delaware Senate. However, it may not be enough.

TMG Consulting of New Orleans has submitted a report to the state’s Sports and Video Library Commission stating that two additional casinos are needed for Delaware to compete with its neighbors. Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and New York have all made progress in the casino industry in the recent years. This development has improved the status of the three states to become the top casino destinations in the East Coast. Furthermore, the casinos have proven to be major assets of the three states.

Delaware may not be the only state in the Northeast struggling in the gambling business. Maryland’s government is also thinking about adding more casinos to the state close to the nation’s capital. Pennsylvania just recently approved a legislation that allows table games inside state casinos. This is expected to boost the state’s income.

The TMG report does not only include the recommendation for additional casinos. It also states the sites that have greater potential to generate maximum revenue for Delaware. The report has determined the Northeast and Southeast parts of the state to be those sites. Proposals for Southcentral and Southwest already exist.
