Last week, Illinois announced a new budget, which includes a 25-cent tax per wager being applied to the first 20 million online sports wagers made every year in the state. In response, two major operators announced a transaction fee of their own. In addition, we have a pair of massive wins, official dates for the Seminole Hard Rock Poker, and a California casino resort breaking ground on expansion.

Let’s start this off with a land-based jackpot win:
