Having already created a haven for sports fans in downtown Las Vegas, Circa casino-hotel co-owner Derek Stevens is eyeing future opportunities, including new markets for the brand’s mobile sports betting app and the possibility of a retail location in California.

Stevens said Circa Sports is working on creating its in-house technology before rolling out the betting app in additional states. Circa Sports is currently live in Nevada, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa and Kentucky.

“We’re currently in the process of developing our own tech. We’re going to wait until our tech is completed before we launch in any additional states. We’d like to launch in additional states, but I don’t want to launch with the current tech that we’re using,” Stevens told the Review-Journal during an exclusive interview at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas.

Stevens said the process is taking longer than he would like, but the development team is being deliberate to ensure the best possible product.
