Episode Description

This week sports and gambling were prevalent in the news as the NHL was the first major sports league to partner with prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket. Also this week the FBI arrested a number of people regarding fixing games, individual prop bets and even mob run poker games. Is sports gambling too intertwined in our culture in 2025 and how should we deal with shadow gaming like prediction markets and sweepstakes casinos.

In other news a closed Vegas casino finally got its marching orders as it is set for demolition. We also discuss: $8 hand sanitizer, new $10 dining specials, an incredible Vegas sunset, robe gambling at 8am, GVR's AI granny, Derek Stevens' big buy, whether Vegas has original concepts, Glowfest & why Oyo is cutting their deposit policy.
