DEL MAR - The Del Mar Fairgrounds has halted plans to launch a potentially lucrative new sportsbook after the failure of a state proposition that would have legalized in-person sports betting at private horse race tracks and tribal casinos.

Voters resoundingly rejected Propositions 26 and 27, but that doesn't end the debate over California sports betting. Those behind the ballot measures are figuring out their next steps. After stockpiling nearly half a billion dollars in campaign cash and inundating Californians with ads, the pitched - and sometimes confusing - battle over sports…

Never before have large corporations bet so heavily on state ballot measures in California and walked away with so little to show for their money. It's always expensive for a company to go around the California Legislature and ask voters to directly change a law that would help its bottom line. But the corporations that made the gambit this…

Both California sports betting ballot initiatives have been defeated by state voters, keeping sports betting out of the Golden State until likely 2024 at the earliest.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The gaming industry and Native American tribes bet big on dueling propositions to legalize sports gambling in California, pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into the most expensive ballot question campaigns in U.S. history.

As in years past, hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent to sway voters in California before the general election.

LOS ANGELES - The giants of mobile sports betting entered California, the final conquest that would clinch an improbable national takeover, with a clear strategy: divide and outspend. DraftKings and FanDuel, the leaders of an exploding industry, had spent their decade of existence forgoing profits in favor of relentless expansion, pouring hundreds…

A pair of dueling propositions that could seriously expand sports betting across the state comes with high stakes for Native American tribes whose economic prosperity and gaming operations are closely tied, including many in San Diego County. Proposition 26 would allow in-person sports betting at tribal casinos and horse racetracks; Proposition 27…

California voters are seeing two sports betting propositions this election cycle in Proposition 26 and Proposition 27. Collectively, nearly $600 million has been raised in opposition and support.

With less than a month until November's election, a poll released Tuesday shows one of two state propositions that would greatly expand sports gambling stands a chance at passing.

There will be two similar-but-different initiatives up for a vote during next month's general election. Both have to do with sports gambling and California's Native tribes, but down in the finer details is where things get a little confusing. While most of the attention seems to be going to Proposition 27, which would allow for online sports…

The advertising campaigns for Propositions 26 and 27 on the November general election ballot have made a wide variety of claims, especially about how the money gleaned from sports betting in California will get distributed to tribes, corporate interests and homeless causes. Here's how those claims stack up. Odds are, one of the many ads for…

They say money can't buy you happiness - and that was likely true Tuesday for the proponents of two dueling initiatives on California's Nov. 8 ballot to legalize sports betting. After all the money raised by the four campaigns on both sides of Propositions 26 and 27 - nearly $441 million so far, nearly double the previous record of $226 million set…

A new poll released by the Los Angeles Times and UC-Berkeley forecasts defeat for both of California's potential sports betting bills, Propositions 26 and 27. The major online sportsbooks appear to be headed for a decisive defeat in their attempt to make California sports betting a reality. But they may not be alone in suffering defeat when it…

Online sports gambling companies, California tribes and card rooms have spent more than $410 million on a pair of dueling ballot measures to legalize sports betting in person and online.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KRON) - Proponents of legalizing sports gambling have poured more money into this year's California proposition campaigns than any other proposition in the state's history.

After stockpiling nearly half a billion dollars in campaign cash and inundating Californians with ads, the pitched - and sometimes confusing - battle over sports betting drew to a close on Tuesday evening.

Should sports betting be allowed in California, and if so, how and where? That is the sticky question facing Golden State voters Nov. 8. The two dueling propositions on the ballot - 26 and 27 - are creating a maelstrom of confusion as voters are bombarded with advertising, a good deal of it disingenuous at best and deceptive at worst. How did we…

Online sports betting behemoths FanDuel and DraftKings touted how their taxable profits would be used for fighting the homeless crisis in California if the state's Proposition 27 was approved. But their efforts are plunging toward defeat as Tuesday's election approaches. Thirty states currently offer legalized sports betting - four of which won…

In the main, those who promote California ballot measures identify some problem - real or imagined - and attempt to persuade voters that their proposals would solve it.
