Mobile + retail. The original legal sports betting state.
Nevada is the original legal sports betting state — sportsbooks have operated commercially since 1949, well before PASPA. The state has the most mature operator ecosystem (Westgate, Circa, BetMGM, Caesars, Boyd, Wynn, station, and more). Unique feature: most sportsbooks require in-person mobile registration. The state has the deepest props/markets selection in the US.
