The Nevada Gaming Control Board voted to recommend approval of Boomer Sportsbook LLC’s application to operate a race book and sports pool at the Silver Sevens Hotel & Casino, the board heard at a special meeting May 21.
Joe Asher, president and CEO of Boomer Sportsbook, told the board the company plans to open June 1 and to operate seven kiosks in the renovated sports-book area. “Our plan is to now open on June the 1st,” Asher said, adding that William Hill is departing the property May 31 and the special meeting was requested so the facility would not go dark between operators.
The board’s recommendation was made subject to four conditions the secretary read into the record: (1) an executed reserve agreement approved by the board’s Taxes and License Division pursuant to applicable regulations; (2) ticket writers must be employees of Boomer Sportsbook LLC except as otherwise authorized by the board chair or designee; (3) any change to the agreement between Boomers and Flamingo Paradise Gaming LLC must be reported to the board within 30 days; and (4) prior administrative approval by the board chair or chair’s designee is required for converting a location between kiosk-only and manned-satellite operations or for reopening after extended closures beyond 180 days.
Affinity Interactive’s manager for the property, Scott Butera, described the Silver Sevens location as convenient for both locals and visitors and said the company had been investing in property improvements. “We’re very sports oriented,” Butera said, adding that the transition to Boomers will include interior upgrades and signage tied to the new operator.
Board members emphasized continuity of service for patrons and staff. Judge Assad and others noted the local importance of the property and the need to avoid service interruptions. Member Sandoval moved to recommend approval of the item; after the secretary read the conditions the board recorded three aye votes and the motion passed.
No members of the public addressed the board during the public-comment periods at the start or the end of the special meeting, and the board adjourned after the vote.
