MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM) Bill Hornbuckle is clarifying his organization's attitude toward DraftKings' (NASDAQ:DKNG) endeavor to obtain Entain Plc (OTC:GMVHY) — MGM's accomplice in the BetMGM adventure. 

While noticing MGM has "an incredible relationship" with BetMGM, and that the gambling club administrator is excited with regards to the possibilities for the flourishing iGaming and online 온라인카지노 sportsbook undertaking, Hornbuckle went further. He plainly expresses that should DraftKings effectively procure Entain, it will require endorsement from MGM assuming it needs to keep working the BetMGM unit in the US. 

They'll have to come to us assuming they need to keep on working in the US. They can't do both," said Hornbuckle in a meeting with CNBC's Contessa Brewer.
