Betfred USA Sports and the Lummi Nation have announced the launch of a new sportsbook at the Silver Reef Casino Resort, following the legalization of sports wagering in Washington State. The Betfred sportsbook will open its doors for Washingtonians on August 31 at 1PM local time, celebrated with an honorary visit from former NFL star Warren Moon.
The sportsbook, which will be located on the ground formerly occupied by the Portage Bay Bar, will include multiple high-resolution video walls, multiple betting stations, comfortable sportsbook seating, self-serve kiosks and a sports pub.
Betfred USA has long seen potential in the Silver Reef Casino, which is conveniently located between Seattle and Vancouver – only 20 miles south of the border off Interstate 5. It is an integrated destination resort, with over 1,000 slots, 16+ table games, 206 hotel rooms, a full-service spa, multiple restaurants and bars and an 18-hole championship golf course (Loomis Trail).
Betfred USA Sports COO Bryan Bennett commented: “We look forward to utilizing our 50 years of bookmaking experience to make the Betfred Sportsbook at Silver Reef Casino Resort the go-to destination for sports wagering in the state. We've long been eyeing the state of Washington and are excited to enter the market in partnership with Lummi Nation and the team at Silver Reef Casino."
An estimated 6,590 people live on the Lummi Reservation, located in the Pacific Northwest area of Washington. They rely heavily on revenue generated by gambling and the Lummi tribe is delighted with this new deal with Betfred USA Sports.
Silver Reef Casino Resort CEO Marty Sauvage remarked: "We are extremely excited about opening and operating the sportsbook with our partner Betfred. The sportsbook will be a fantastic new amenity for our guests and will enable us to continue delivering the premier gaming and resort experience in the Northwest."
