William Hill Sportsbook Expands Operations in Las Vegas
William Hill has been able to quickly establish itself as one of the premier sportsbooks in the US sports betting industry. Originally based in the UK, the company’s first expansion into the US market was in Nevada. It created a presence in the Bahamas and more recently in New Jersey and West Virginia as its newest sports betting markets. Business has grown rapidly in all these markets with more than 115 locations in Nevada alone. This has made William Hill the sports betting leader in the US.
A recent post on the Las Vegas Sun’s website detailed the company’s latest business venture. Pending regulatory approval, it will take over the sportsbook operations at M Resort this May. Casino owner Penn National Gaming made the announcement earlier this week. Located in Henderson, M Resort is looking to expand its presence in the highly competitive sports betting arena. Partnering with such a high-profile partner as William Hill is a major step towards accomplishing that goal.

Additionally, we thank their employees for their support during our partnership.”
