About Us - Gaming Today

Gaming Today has a rich history in the US gambling industry. Established in 1976 as Sports Forum, Gaming Today was a weekly print newspaper dedicated to casino and sports betting industry news.

Over the years, dozens of Gaming Today writers and betting experts have delivered weekly news coverage and analysis to sports fans nationwide.
