Nevada casinos hope to join the legal battle against sports event contracts, as their trade body aims to get added as a defendant in a federal lawsuit against the state of Nevada by prediction-market operator Kalshi.
In a motion to intervene filed Wednesday, the Nevada Resorts Association (NRA) — a trade body that includes most of the state’s largest casino operators such as Caesars, MGM, and Wynn Resorts — asked to be named as a co-defendant in Kalshi’s lawsuit.
Kalshi sued the state’s attorney general in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada in March after the prediction exchange received a cease-and-desist order from the state.
