OREGON – JCM Global has installed the largest sports betting screen in Oregon at Three Rivers Casino in Florence. The 200sq.ft LED wall is the centerpiece of Three Rivers’ recently opened sports book. It was configured so that the right-hand side is a dedicated odds board, and the main area of the display can show one, four, five, or six games at a time. Completing the experience is a custom audio system, which JCM installed with Delta AV.
“When we built our sports book, we wanted to offer something that separates Three Rivers Casino Resort from the others, and we feel our LED video wall has done just that. We can show up to six events at once, and the easy-to-use, customisable control pad gives us the ability to make sure that our guests don’t miss a game,” said Rick Ray, Director of Gaming Operations at Three Rivers Casino in Florence.

HAWAII – Clarification is being sought over Hawaii House Bill 1815, proposed by Republican John Mizuno in January, who is hoping to pass sports betting legislation in the state for the first time. Under Mizuno’s proposal, the state would create an online sports wagering corporation that would be housed in the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism. Licensing fees for the operators would be levied, but the draft of the bill leaves the amount blank, though the tax rate proposed is 55 per cent.
