Johnny Z's Casino Sportsbook

Sports betting became legal at both online and retail sportsbooks as of May 1, 2020. Online sportsbooks are accessible anywhere within the state, both on computers and on mobile devices.

The owner and operator of Johnny Z's, Maverick Gaming LLC, has not announced its plans for opening both a retail and online sportsbooks. But when Maverick closed on the purchase of Johnny Z's, Z Casino and Grand Z Casino Hotel from CC Gaming LLC in 2019, it was made clear the company plans on opening sportsbooks in some form in the near future.

When it comes to Johnny Z's Casino, there have not been any announcements about the specific plans for retail and online sportsbooks, but by looking at its owner and operator Maverick Gaming, we can get some clues about what is likely to happen.

When Maverick purchased Johnny Z's from CC Gaming LLC, majority owner Eric Perssonsaid:

'This purchase gives Maverick Gaming sports betting in two states and we look forward to adding more jurisdictions in the coming months.'

As for which company Maverick and Johnny Z's might partner with, William Hill appears most likely. Maverick Gaming owns four Nevada casinos, Gold Country Inn and Casino, Red Garter Hotel and Casino, Red Lion Hotel and Casino and Wendover Nugget Hotel and Casino. William Hill runs the sportsbooks at Red Garter, Red Lion and Wendover, while Gold Country does not have a sportsbook.

As for William Hill, the company is one of the leading gaming companies in United Kingdom.

William Hill already has agreements both with Isle Casino and Lady Luck Casino to operate their sportsbooks.
