Calvin Ridley Betting Scandal,New Casino On Indiana Illinois Border & More

In our first story this week, Illinois regulators have approved the plan for the development of the new Danville casino. On Thursday, the state’s Gaming Board has unanimously voted to greenlight the construction on the location just west of Illinois’ border with Indiana, about 150 miles south from Chicago.

The future complex will feature a 41,500-square-foot gaming floor with 500 slot machines and 14 table games. In addition, the casino will have a sportsbook facility and two restaurants.

Danville is the fifth location to receive approval for the casino development under the 2019 expanded gaming law signed by Gov. J. B. Pritzker. The measure paved the way for six new casinos in Illinois. Now, there’s only one piece of the legislation remaining, a highly-coveted Chicago license.

An off-duty officer at Las Vegas PD is accused of robbing a casino and suspected of two other robberies.

Caleb Rogers, aged 33, is now facing federal charges of interference with commerce by robbery and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.

As he attempted to run away towards the parking garage, Rogers was tackled by a security guard, who kept him under control until police arrived. The officers discovered that the robber had a department-issued Ruger revolver on him.

Rogers is now also a suspect in robberies of Red Rock and Aliante casinos.

Calvin Ridley Suspended For Gambling On Games?

Atlanta Falcons star, Calvin Ridley, has been suspended after the league discovered he was betting on NFL games. Ridley will now miss the entire 2022 football season.

NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, stated that Ridley’s action endangered the game’s integrity and damaged the public image of the league and his fellow players. The player responded in a series of tweets, expressing his disbelief in punishment. Ridley also added that he only bet $1.500 and that he doesn’t have a gambling problem.

Some of football’s most prominent figures, such as legendary QB Troy Aikman, accused the league of hypocrisy in handling Ridley’s case. Aikman said that the punishment was too severe, especially considering the NFL’s new positive stance on gambling and promotion of sports betting.
