Sports betting at Hollywood Casino should launch with NFL season
The temporary Barstool Sportsbook is expected to be operational by Fall of 2022.
The Hollywood Casino expects to be able to offer sports betting just in time for NASCAR fans to return to Kansas Speedway this fall. The casino also anticipates that its temporary sportsbook location will be operational by the new NFL season.
The regular season of the NFL begins in September, which is when the Barstool Sportsbook location is expected to open at Hollywood Casino.
Bettors will also be able to place in-person wagers under the Turn 2 Sports Bar and restaurant located inside the casino. Slot machines are also being moved out of the way to make room for kiosks, betting windows, odds boards, televisions and a temporary bar.
The operator of the casino hopes that the new offerings will drum up excitement surrounding NASCAR.
Vice President and General Manager of Hollywood Casino Kansas Speedway Rick Skinner commented: “I think we have proven our relationship with Hollywood Casino and NASCAR, and our parent company, Penn National, that we have continued to develop and grow our sport here at the Kansas Speedway.”
He added: “This is our little corner of NASCAR nation and I think it’s one more thing that entices people to come here and get more exposure to a great sport.”
Online betting platforms and mobile sports betting sites could be an option but regulations have yet to be finalized. Skinner added that in-person betting will launch first, so bettors will have to come out to the speedway to place wagers.
New legislation in Kansas allows bettors to gamble on their favorite teams through the four state-owned casinos.
