Mississippi one step closer to mobile sports betting as House committee passes bill
SUMMARY: Mississippi is moving closer to legalizing mobile sports betting as the House Gaming Committee has approved House Bill 774, dubbed the Mississippi Mobile Sports Wagering Act. Despite concerns from casino owners about potential revenue loss, the bill mandates that online gambling companies partner with existing brick-and-mortar casinos. Data indicates Mississippi residents are already engaging in online gambling through illegal means. The bill's primary sponsor, Republican Rep. Casey Eure, noted Mississippi's high rate of illegal sports betting searches. If the bill passes and is signed by Governor Tate Reeves, Mississippi would join 29 states and Washington, D.C., in legalizing mobile sports betting.

All shook up? Court battle underway over Graceland
SUMMARY: Graceland, Elvis Presley's former home, faces a public auction due to a $3.8 million loan claim by Naussany Investments, which contends the estate was collateral. However, Riley Keough, Elvis' granddaughter, contests the sale, filing a lawsuit and obtaining a restraining order. Keough claims Naussany used falsified documents to fabricate the loan, which Elvis Presley Enterprises confirmed as fraudulent. The Memphis judge has blocked the auction, with an injunction hearing scheduled for Wednesday. Graceland, worth $400-$500 million, draws over half a million visitors yearly and is a National Historic Landmark since 2006.
