00:00But the one thing that it seems to be growing are these online casino games all over the country.
00:05And I read the column over at Legal Sports Report that you guys wrote.
00:08Philadelphia and all of the states in Pennsylvania getting ready to go live online with casino.
00:14And, by the way, live dealer games I see here, too.
00:16Blackjack and some VIP as well.
00:18That's new.
00:20Yeah.
00:21It's another segment that continues to grow is iGaming.
00:24You see a lot of companies like Caesars.
00:26They just launched their new horseshoe-branded games, which, as you alluded to, Craig, has expanded to live blackjack dealers.
00:33It's beyond just kind of, you know, playing these old-looking, pixelated blackjack games on your phone where you're actually – it kind of feels like you're in a casino.
00:43And companies like Caesars, they've spent tons of money on building their own studios, building their own casinos.
00:49I believe MGM and BetMGM have something similar as well.
00:52And DraftKings has been pretty vocal about wanting to do the same thing.
00:55But Caesars, really, while they've taken a backseat to sports betting, if you pay attention to any of the market share reports, any of the earnings calls, they're really making inroads in iGaming.
01:05And you see that here with them bringing it to another big city, this horseshoe casino.
01:10It's their fifth state that they're in now.
01:12It's, you know, Pennsylvania is one of the largest iGaming states.
01:15There's only a few.
01:16We have New Jersey as well on there.
01:18Illinois, we're talking about two maybe, perhaps, can legalize iGaming as well this year.
01:23But I think it will be really interesting to see what sportsbooks do if they try to copy Caesars and do more of this live dealer stuff.
01:30They've been very innovative, obviously, with parlays and sports betting.
01:33But maybe what can they do on the iGaming side to push that a little bit more, get people to play it a little bit more, and then, at the end of the day, get people to play their apps over other people's apps?
01:44I think it's going to be definitely something interesting to watch here.
