Wings, beer, sports betting? Buffalo Wild Wings reportedly looking to spice up gameday experience

Sports betting has hit the U.S., and several states are already implementing sites where fans can go bet on their favorite teams (or against them).
Now, one national restaurant chain — Buffalo Wild Wings — may be trying to get in on the action.
According to a statement released to ESPN.com, the popular sports bar is exploring options related to sports gambling:
“As the largest sports bar in America, we believe Buffalo Wild Wings is uniquely positioned to leverage sports gaming to enhance the restaurant experience for our guests,” a Buffalo Wild Wings spokesperson said in a statement to ESPN. “We are actively exploring opportunities, including potential partners, as we evaluate the next steps for our brand.”
Whether or not the chain has betting in place in time for the 2018 college football season remains to be seen, but being able to gamble while eating wings seems like a fun idea.
Sports betting is just in its infancy in a number of states, so it’ll be interesting to see what it looks like when all is said and done.
