Boomers Sportsbook is opening its 12th location at Silver Sevens on June 1. Silver Sevens is the biggest casino and closest to the Strip for Boomer’s, which will launch its 13th venue at Club Fortune North when it opens, also in June; SS will boast betting seven kiosks. It’s been a rapid rise for the independent sports book chain since it launched less than a year ago (August). The Nevada Gaming Control Board held an emergency meeting yesterday to recommend approval of the SS application, which the Gaming Commission seconded an hour later. The regulators like Boomer’s and its founder/CEO Joe Asher, deeming an independent sports book beneficial to the state and sports bettors (they’re right). Gaming Control has five more active Boomers applications pending; they’re all expected to be approved before football season begins.
