Soon you’ll be able bet on sporting events and play instant lottery games from your phone in North Carolina.
Why, then, shouldn’t North Carolinians be able to digitally spin a roulette wheel, hit a blackjack or toss the dice in craps for real money on an iCasino app?

“It’s a natural fit and should be included in the conversation,” said Scott Ward, vice president of the Sports Betting Alliance, which includes Draft Kings, FanDuel, Bet MGM and Fanatics Sportsbook.
