Ep 469: A Hawaiian online sports betting roller coaster ride

To round off the week for iGaming Daily, SBC's Managing Editor, Jessica Welman, alongside podcast debutant, Tom Nightingale, Senior Business Journalist at Canadian Gaming Business and Editor of the Canadian Gaming Business Magazine, talk all things Hawaii sports betting, which resulted in the strangest of comparisons with chicken fights.

Brought to you by Optimove (the podcast not chicken fights), Jessica and Tom dissect the ongoing efforts to legalise sports betting in Hawaii, which took a big step forward this week when the Honolulu's Rep. Daniel Holt's HB 1308 bill was approved in the House.

The duo explore the various bills currently in play, the pushback from government agencies, and the intense criticism faced during legislative sessions.
