Bettors hoping to wager on Golden Knights games cashed in Wednesday.
The NHL did not file an official request with the Nevada Gaming Commission to have Knights games taken off the betting board at the state’s sports books, deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed.
“The decision was reached jointly with the Club(sic) several weeks ago,” Daly wrote in an email to the Review-Journal.
The deadline for the NHL to make the request with the gaming commission was Wednesday, 30 days before the Knights regular-season opener Oct. 6 at Dallas.
The league’s decision not to pursue a betting ban paves the way for Knights games to be posted at Nevada sports books with no restrictions.
