Art Manteris, the Vice President of Race and Sports Operations at Station Casinos, will be inducted into the SBC Sports Betting Hall of Fame in an April 25 ceremony in Manhattan.
Manteris has over 35 years of Nevada race and sportsbook expertise and was responsible for the development of the state’s first computer networking of race and sportsbooks in the late 1980’s. He has since acted as a prominent policy contributor to a number of regulatory boards.
“We are really pleased to be able to welcome Art Manteris to the Sports Betting Hall of Fame,” Sports Betting Community founder and CEO Rasmus Sojmark said in a press statement. “So many people in the industry had good things to share about Art… his longevity and legacy in the sports betting industry. He will be recognized as a key driver of sportsbook development in the US, including on mobile and a prominent contributor to gaming regulation across the country.
The purpose of the Hall of Fame, first established by SBC in 2016, is to honor, preserve and perpetuate the names and accomplishments of personalities who have added true value to the sports betting sector, the press statement said.
The Hall’s current members are Mark Blandford, Carsten Koerl, Howard Chisholm, Paris Smith, Fred Done, Vigen Badalyan, Pontus Lindwall, Fabio Schiavolin, Warwick Bartlett, Norbert Teufelberger, Constantinos Antonopoulos and Chris Christie, the release said.
