Ed Gaughan is the owner of The O on Lane, a restaurant and bar on Ohio State University’s north side.
He, like hundreds of small businesses across the state, recently received a sports betting kiosk, this one courtesy of Gold Rush Gaming. Patrons are able to place live bets all over the world in seconds.
However, the rollout hasn’t been smooth and Gaughan hasn’t yet seen the gold rush he anticipated.
“The actual units themselves, to some of the rules, to some of the software,” said Gaughan. “No one even has any idea where this is gonna go. Then as we find out the limitations, it kind of scaled it back quite a bit.”
