Sun, Mar 24, 2019

Sports betting at two West Virginia casinos will remain offline at the start of the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

West Virginia Lottery Director John Myers said the dispute is continuing in a news release and that negotiations between Delaware North’s management services provider and a technology vendor.

He said that while the lottery is closely monitoring the situation, “it is now apparent that wagering will not resume at these locations in time for the early rounds of the NCAA Basketball Tournament.”
