Harrah's Barred From Taking NBA Bets
About One-Third Of Sports Books On Strip Can't Take Bets
LAS VEGAS -- It's going to be a little bit harder to get in on the gambling action for this year's NBA championship.
Harrah Entertainment won't be allowed to take bets on the storied Lakers-Celtics matchup at any of its 13 casinos in Nevada.
That's because Harrah's top executive Gary Loveman bought a 2.4 percent stake in the Celtics last year. Under National Basketball Association rules, Harrah's was barred from accepting bets on the team.
The restriction means bets will not be accepted at about one-third of all sports books on the Las Vegas Strip, including Caesars Palace, Paris Las Vegas, Bally's, Imperial Palace, Flamingo, Bill's, Harrah's and the Rio.
The company also dropped betting lines at Harrah's-branded casinos in Reno, Lake Tahoe and Laughlin and at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe.
