Dublin, Ireland-based Flutter Entertainment – which includes the company’s subsidiary that operates FanDuel – is expected to be on the Gaming Control Board’s August agenda for licensing, sources told The Nevada Independent.

Las Vegas-based Boyd owns 5 percent of FanDuel, which operates its own retail and online sports betting in the company’s casinos outside of Nevada. Boyd operates sports betting at its 10 Las Vegas-area casinos through Boyd Sports, its retail and mobile sports wagering business.
