Betting in Reno
The city of Reno is located in the U.S. State of Nevada, close to the borders of California. Reno is often referred to as “The Biggest Little City in the World” due to its lively gambling and recreational scene which first began in the early 1930’s. The streets are adorned with bright neon garlands which are almost as extravagant as the lights of the famous Las Vegas strip or New York’s Time Square. Nestled amongst some of the biggest and most famous casinos in the world, the city’s local gambling halls exude a warm and friendly vibe. Sports betting, electronic games of chance and live dealer games tables are all legal in Reno. Some staggering statistics show that in 2012, gambling wins in the city and the encompassing Washoe County area amounted to the sum of roughly $735.7 million, the majority of which came from slot machine success. An example of one of Reno’s larger venues is the Boomtown Casino & Hotel. Its floor space of 39,650 square feet houses 600 gaming machines and 14 games tables, which are available for play round the clock.
