More recently, plans to launch in Indiana, Iowa, Nevada and Massachusetts are now taking shape. Wynn Resorts announced that it will partner with Elite Casino Resorts for the rollout in Iowa. Elite is the leading integrated gaming company in the Hawkeye State.
This partnership will give Iowa bettors access to WynnBET across the state through the existing sports betting license for Elite’s Riverside Casino and Golf Resort.

Wynn Resorts has also started the licensing process to offer WynnBET in Tennessee and Virginia. Tennessee launched legal sports betting through mobile betting apps on Nov. 1 of last year. Virginia is just weeks away from its official launch.
