El casino terrestre celebró una ceremonia de inauguración y dio la bienvenida a casi 1000 clientes.
DraftKings Sportsbook ha abierto una sucursal en el Queen Baton Rogue de Luisiana. La tienda minorista recibió a cerca de 1000 invitados tras una ceremonia de inauguración.

Durante la celebración, el presidente y director ejecutivo de The Queen Gaming & Entertainment, Terry Downey, pronunció un discurso de bienvenida. Otros invitados destacados que asistieron fueron la alcaldesa y presidenta de Baton Rouge, Sharon Weston Broome, el gerente general de The Queen Baton Rouge, Matthew Shehadi, el exmariscal de campo de los LSU Tiger y de la NFL Matt Flynn, y Ronnie S. Johns, presidente de la Junta de Control de Juegos de Luisiana.

El Queen Baton Rouge alberga 100.000 pies cuadrados de espacio para juegos. El destino terrestre fue anteriormente el histórico casino fluvial Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge, y recientemente se renovó como parte de un proyecto de remodelación de 85 millones de dólares. El Queen Baton Rouge es el primer casino terrestre de la ciudad y está abierto al público las 24 horas del día.

En otras noticias de DraftKings, el operador lanzó recientemente su primer producto de carreras de caballos, DK Horse, en 12 estados de EE. UU., en asociación con CDI. El operador de juegos digitales tenía previsto lanzar la aplicación independiente en otros estados antes del Derby de Kentucky de este año.

DraftKings y CDI anunciaron por primera vez su asociación multianual el pasado mes de noviembre y se han unido para "impulsar" la tecnología de apuestas mutuas con depósito anticipado para DK Horse. "

Por otra parte, es un momento emocionante para DraftKings, que está reduciendo sus pérdidas y aumentando sus ingresos a un ritmo vertiginoso.

Está desafiando a FanDuel por ocupar el puesto #1 en los mercados de EE. UU., incluido Kentucky, donde pronto se lanzará junto con otras marcas de alto perfil.
