Ameristar East Chicago Launches Sports Betting
"Pen National is looking forward to opening sports books and providing customers with another great set of amenities at the Amerista Casino in Eastern Chicago," said Timothy J. Wilmot, the company's chief executive. "Indiana will soon become the 12th state to legalize sports betting following the abolition of the federal ban last year, and our customers in Northwest Indiana can expect an amazing sports betting experience at our facility."
Penn National will offer state-of-the-art sports betting experiences at Americanista Casino East Chicago, including a sports betting kiosk and a Ticket Writer Station that will support thousands of sports betting options for customers. The company has developed a new sportsbook conveniently located near the stadium sports bar, grill, and property's front door. A new betting counter and large odds board create an environment where customers can enjoy first-class betting experiences close to numerous televisions where they can enjoy sports action across the country and around the world.
"Our customers are very excited to start bargaining for the sport," said Matt Schuffert, general manager of Ameristar Casino East Chicago. "The passion for the Indiana and Illinois sports teams is deep in this region, and we're looking forward to being a fan destination all year round."
Celebrating the first bet at Ameristar East Chicago will be a pair of Chicago Bears legends in Mike Ditka and Devin Hoster. Ditka not only is a professional bowler for the Bears, but he also led Chicago to its only Super Bowl victory during the 1985-86 season, and the Hoster is a three-time First Team All-Pro that holds the NFL record for the most kicks returned for touchdowns in a career. 파워볼실시간
