The new sportsbook will feature 4K video walls and displays.

The We-Ko-Pa casino resort has introduced a sportsbook powered by Betfred, which will feature 4K video walls and displays, as well as a cashier stand with four wagering terminals. There will also be carefully placed betting kiosks to appeal to sports betting enthusiasts across Arizona.

The Arizon-based We-Ko-Pa casino has partnered with Betfred since 2021 and this will be a major step in their commercial collaboration. The new sportsbook will boast a massive Planar 4K direct view LED video wall which is capable of displaying three different games side by side. These three screens can then split into four sections, allowing viewers to watch 12 games simultaneously.

Betfred USA Sports COO Bryan Bennett commented: “We're excited to increase our presence in Arizona in partnership with the We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort and WKP Sportsbook. As a team, we set out early to create one of the best game-watching and betting experiences in the state, and we're confident we've accomplished that goal."

Opening in time for the 2022 NFL season, the new sportsbook is connected to WKP Sports & Entertainment, a full-service sports bar. It offers a variety of innovative appetizers, meals, and entrees along with more than 45 draft beers, signature cocktails and its proprietary Party Punch, along with all types of alcohol. Beverage service will be available during the sportsbook hours of operation.

We-Ko-Pa casino resort Kirk Brumbraugh remarked: “We took our time in creating our new sportsbook because we wanted to learn from those that came before us, maximize existing resources, and leverage the latest electronic advancements so we could take our facility to the next level of gaming excellence."
