ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP)
— Some gambling tech-
nology companies expect
the U.S. Supreme Court to
legalize sports betting and
are jockeying for position
in the new industry months
before a decision is even
rendered.
A lawsuit filed Thursday in
Atlantic City shines some
light on the scramble.
NYX Gaming Group Ltd.,
a company based on the
British island of Guernsey,
is suing London-based
William Hill PLC over Las
Vegas-based Scientific
Games Corp.’s proposed THE
acquisition of NYX.
William Hill owns stock in
NYX and is threatening
to use its voting shares to
block the acquisition un-
less it receives certain as-
surances from Scientific
Games about what the
newly merged company
will and won’t be able to DOZENS
do.
NYX, a leading provider of
gambling software, terms
those requests “extortion-
ate” and anti-competitive,
according to its lawsuit.
They include demands
that Scientific Games not
compete with William
Hill, and that it hand over
source code for some NYX
products.
William Hill says its actions
are “perfectly reason-
able.” Scientific Games did New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady
not immediately respond (12) warms up prior to an NFL football game
to a request for comment. against the Denver Broncos, Sunday, Nov.
12, 2017, in Denver.
