As of 12:00 PM on August 15th, sports betting in Iowa is NOW legal in the Hawkeye State. People can place wagers on pro and college games at all but one of the state-regulated casinos.

The William Hill Sports Book at the Isle Casino in Waterloo held a ribbon-cutting today & Baseball Hall-of-Famer Andre Dawson took part in the ceremony and place the first bet.

"The Hawk" took the University of Miami over Florida when they play next Saturday night.
