SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
William Hill has opened wagering on Virtual Racing at two of its Nevada Race and Sports Books. After receiving approval for a field trial from the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the company will offer Virtual Racing inside the Plaza Casino and Silver Sevens Casino, both in Las Vegas.
Featuring the voice of legendary race caller Tom Durkin, William Hill Virtual Racing allows sports bettors to wager on simulated horse races. With a new race every five minutes, players can bet Win, Place, Show, Exactas, and Trifectas on line-ups that range from eight to twelve animated horses.
Joe Asher, CEO of William Hill US, said: “We are excited to be the first Sports Book operator to bring Virtual Racing to Nevada. The addition of Virtual Racing is just another example of how William Hill prides itself on offering the largest and most innovative betting menu. Being able to have Tom Durkin, horse racing’s best story teller, as our Virtual Racing voice is ‘absolutely sensational’ in itself.”
William Hill has worked diligently with regulators over the past two years to bring Virtual Racing to Nevada. Virtual Racing is extremely popular with sports bettors in Las Vegas and across the globe.
