Restaurant chain Buffalo Wild Wings is considering adding sports betting to its menu.
The sports bar chain, which operates 1,200 restaurants in all 50 states, told CNN Money it is exploring offering wagering on athletic events in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling that allowed states to legalize sports betting.
"As the largest sports bar in America, we believe Buffalo Wild Wings is uniquely positioned to leverage sports gaming to enhance the restaurant experience for our guests," a company spokesperson said. "We are actively exploring opportunities, including potential partners, as we evaluate the next steps for our brand."
The betting would likely come after the restaurant chain established a partnership with an established casino or betting operation, CNN reported.
Three states – New Jersey, Delaware and Mississippi – have legalized sports gambling since the May ruling; other states are currently considering legislation to do the same. In addition to standards such as football, basketball and baseball, gamblers are also be able to place bets on things such as mixed martial arts, tennis, lacrosse, rodeo bull riding and the Olympics.
In May, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of New Jersey in a 2010 case which was seeking to make sports betting legal at racetracks and casinos. Sports groups such as the NCAA, NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball initially opposed legalizing sports betting, but several have since reached deals with casinos to be authorized gambling sites.
