It’s also cutting ties with Genesis Global Ltd., the sports-betting business that the resort in January had agreed to partner with for 10 years.

The Hall of Fame Village is one of 22 businesses that applied for “Type A” licenses under Ohio’s new sports gambling law, which would let them run a mobile sportsbook. The Ohio Casino Control Commission is reviewing applications.

The resort will share revenue with Betr and get limited equity in the company as part of the deal.
