To enhance the casino theme, the Golden Nugget online slot uses traditional playing card icons to create lower value combinations. The classic format that pays out when matching symbols cross a line from left to right is used here, with 2x, 10x, and 50x your line bet claimed when the least valuable symbols appear.

With Golden Nugget Online Gaming (NASDAQ:GNOG) facing massive uncertainty on multiple fronts, investors should avoid GNOG stock for now.

- Golden Nugget Online Gaming (Nasdaq: GNOG) has received authorization from the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) to start offering its Online Casino and Sportsbook at 12pm Eastern, Friday.
- Currently, Golden Nugget Online is only operating its online sportsbook in New Jersey. In order to gain momentum with their product, Golden Nugget Online must develop itself as a real player. Well, they showcased that during the investor presentation in June of 2020. Golden Nugget Online reported a 13% market share in New Jersey.
- Jan 27, 2021 Golden Nugget online table games mimic the engaging atmosphere of a land-based casino by offering dozens of incarnations of blackjack, roulette, poker and baccarat. A particularly enticing game is 100/1 roulette as it features a 100:1 payout ratio for single numbers, meaning that you can win big with a small investment.
As I’ve noted in the past, Golden Nugget has to deal with a lot of competition in the online gambling space.
The approaching end of the novel-coronavirus pandemic and the precarious financial position of Golden Nugget’s owner are also making GNOG stock riskier.
As I wrote in my Sept. 28 column on Golden Nugget, online gambling is set for fast growth, but there’s not too high a bar to entry. As companies continue to enter the online gaming space, Golden Nugget could get squeezed.
I cited MGM Resorts (NYSE:MGM) as one large, tough potential competitor for Golden Nugget. The company received meaningful financial backing from internet giant IAC (NASDAQ:IAC). And indeed, MGM has already launched sports-betting operations, along with online card games, in New Jersey, the only state in which Golden Nugget Online Gaming was reportedly licensed as of Dec. 15.
More Competition, the Pandemic and GNOG Stock
Scum card game. Another tough competitor for Golden Nugget is Rush Street Interactive (NYSE:RSI), or RSI, which operates an online-gaming and sports-betting company in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
According to a Seeking Alpha contributor, WY Capital, RSI is the number one player in iGaming. The article claims RSA has a 16.3% market share, mostly thanks to its presence in Pennsylvania where it has a 28% market share.
Moreover, Golden Nugget is planning to expand into Pennsylvania where, by the way, BetMGM, MGM’s online component has also set up shop.

RSI could take market share away from Golden Nugget. With vaccines for the coronavirus being continuously distributed in the U.S., within the next four or five months, a majority of the population will likely have been vaccinated against the coronavirus.
At that point, the popularity of online gambling is likely to drop sharply as tens of millions of vaccinated consumers, beyond tired of sitting at home and looking at screens, take vacations and go to movies, restaurants, sporting events, etc.
Thus, there’s a good chance that Golden Nuggets’ growth in New Jersey could sharply decelerate starting this spring, causing the company’s financial results to tumble and resulting in a big slump by GNOG stock.
Fertitta’s Financial Woes
Golden Nugget Online Gaming Earnings
Last month, InvestorPlace’s Sarah Smith noted that Tilman Fertitta, Golden Nugget’s founder and owner, had “been discussing an initial public offering for some of his holdings.”
As a result, investors may wonder whether Fertitta could look to sell some of his GNOG stock, causing the shares to tumble.
And as Smith noted, the billionaire has “borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars,” generally creating uncertainty for his empire, including Golden Nugget Online Gaming.
Perhaps partly due to Fertitta’s issues, since Dec. 29, when the SPAC with which Golden Nugget combined, Lancadia Holdings II, became Golden Nugget Online Gaming, the shares have tumbled nearly 20%.
The Bottom Line on GNOG Stock
Golden Nugget is facing tough competition and uncertainties related to the finances of its owner and the coming end of the coronavirus pandemic.
Meanwhile, the company’s second-quarter operating income from New Jersey operations came in at a not-exactly-huge $8.5 million.
Given these points, I believe that the stock’s risk-reward ratio is negative, and I continue to recommend that investors sell it.
