SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
William Hill is now taking bets on Virtual Racing at four of its Reno Sports Books in Nevada.
This includes the voice of legendary race caller Tom Durkin and features a new race every five minutes. Punters can opt for Win, Place, Show, Exactas, and Trifectas on lineups that range from eight to twelve animated horses.
The bookmaker trialled its Virtual Racing at two Las Vegas locations with the Gaming Commission giving final approval for expansion of the product in November.
The products were then rolled out properly in mid December at the William Hill Sports Books inside the Circus Circus Reno, Club Cal Neva, Grand Sierra Resort, and Silver Legacy.
There’ll be more locations added across the state of Nevada in the upcoming weeks which will include famous locations such as the SLS and the Downtown Grand.

William Hill partnered with Inspired Gaming Group to develop the only approved Virtual Sports product in Nevada. Inspired currently supplies its Virtual Sports products in more than 35,000 venues on over 100 websites in 30 countries, and has over fifteen years of experience in the industry.

Virtual Sports wagering is very popular with bettors across the globe and it fits with our commitment of bringing the most expansive and innovative wagering menu to our Nevada customers.”

Following successful technical field trial, we look forward to expanding our product offering to further venues, with new market-specific products coming soon.”
