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.
