New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and legislative leaders are finalizing a deal on a new state budget that would include tax hikes on cigarettes, luxury homes, and online gaming, but not on bowling, batting cages, and laser tag, as originally proposed, NJ Advance Media’s Brent Johnson reported for NJ.com. The deal between the governor and lawmakers includes a “less than 20% tax” on both online sports betting and iGaming, the report noted. Publicly traded companies in the betting space include Boyd Gaming (BYD), Caesars (CZR), Churchill Downs (CHDN), DraftKings (DKNG), Flutter Entertainment (FLUT), Gan Limited (GAN), Genius Sports (GENI), Las Vegas Sands (LVS), MGM Resorts (MGM), Penn Entertainment (PENN), Rush Street Interactive (RSI), Sportradar (SRAD) and Wynn Resorts (WYNN).
