<!-- ARTICLE CONTENT --> The federal and Ontario governments are moving toward allowing Las Vegas-style sports gambling in provincial casinos, the Toronto Star has learned.

In a plan to help boost sagging casino revenues in Niagara Falls and Windsor, where the high Canadian dollar and increased border security mean fewer American visitors, Queen's Park is urging Ottawa to amend the Criminal Code of Canada and create casino "sportsbooks."
Ontario casinos already have sportsbook infrastructure in place with TV screens, scoreboards and seating, but betting is limited to Pro-Line, in which bettors select the outcomes of three or more sports contests on a "parlay" ticket.


The new proposal would allow gamblers to wager the outcome of individual football, baseball, hockey, basketball, soccer and other games as opposed to the multiple "parlay" betting that exists under Pro-Line, the government-run lottery.

That would be great. Too bad they don't have one in the 'new' Ceaser's Windsor casino. My god the sports betting is such a rip off.
 

And if the Road Warrior says it, it must be true..
