The Palms Casino Resort began accepting wagers on NBA basketball games at the end of October. The Maloof family owns both the Palms and NBA team the Sacramento Kings, and the NBA Board of Governors voted to allow betting on all games except those played by the Kings. Harrah’s Entertainment has a similar deal with the NBA, allowing wagers on all NBA teams except the Boston Celtics. Harrah’s CEO Gary Loveman owns a stake in the Celtics.
