Cedar Rapids Gazette: Aug. 15 at noon. That’s when gamblers in Iowa can place their first legal wager on professional and college sports events or fantasy sports contests. That is if all goes well Tuesday when the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission is slated to approve rules for sports wagering and approve license applications made by 18 of Iowa’s 19 state-regulated casinos. The Casino Queen Marquette is the only state-licensed casino that has not applied for a sport wagering license, said Brian Ohorilko, administrator of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission, but he expects it to do so eventually.
