With legalized sports gambling in the U.S. about to become a reality in many states, regional casino operator Boyd Gaming (NYSE:BYD) is gearing up to go on a spending spree. It just increased a debt offering from $500 million to $700 million and says a portion of the proceeds will be used for acquisitions.
Boyd hasn't exactly been reticent when it comes to making acquisitions, and today owns or operates 24 gaming properties in seven states. Last December, it entered into an agreement with Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:PENN) to buy four properties after Penn closes on its acquisition of Pinnacle Entertainment, and then two days later agreed to acquire Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Earlier this month it completed its acquisition of Lattner Entertainment, a bar and tavern gaming operator with some 220 locations across Illinois.
Boyd is also well established in the sports wagering market, having one of the largest sports books in Nevada, where betting on sports has been legal for decades. Boyd Gaming stands to be one of the big winners from the Supreme Court ruling because of its extensive experience and broad network of regional casinos that will bring sports gambling closer to more people.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]
Gold streaming company Franco-Nevada Corporation (NYSE:FNV) offers investors a unique way to gain exposure to precious metals, but when you compare it to peers Royal Gold, Inc. (NASDAQ:RGLD) and Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE:WPM)�it looks relatively expensive. That said, if you are looking to gold for diversification you might still find that Franco-Nevada Corporation stock is a buy.

Precious metals streaming and royalty company Royal Gold, Inc. (NASDAQ:RGLD) used the commodity downturn to materially increase its production of gold and silver.
