Churchill Downs Inc., mostly a brick-and-mortar gambling company and a member of the National Association Against iGaming since the group’s founding last February, has made its views on online gaming clear: The company is opposed to its legalization and regulation.

“It’s a little bit of a strange argument, as it strikes me that if they were allowed in, then the remedy would be giving them something they say they don’t want — an expansion of iGaming,” observed attorney&nbsp;Dennis Ehling, a Los Angeles-based partner at Blank Rome who specializes in gaming industry law. Blank Rome is not involved in the Maine lawsuit.

“It definitely sounds to me,”&nbsp;Ehling continued, “like they’re conceding that they’re less likely to be able to prevent iGaming and more likely to be able to get themselves added to it so it’s not only the tribes. But, that said, I don’t want to try to read too deeply into what they may or may not be trying to get to.”
