DraftKings has announced the opening of two new sportsbooks in Washington State, at the Tulalip Resort Casino and Quil Ceda Creek Casino. This comes after an announcement early this year: that DraftKings and these two casinos had agreed upon an exclusive retail market access agreement for The Evergreen State.
Sporting legends are expected to attend the respective openings. Baseball Hall of Famer Randy Johnson will feature at the Tulalip, and Seattle Seahawks legend and pro football Hall of Fame inductee Steve Largent at Quil Ceda Creek.
DraftKings Tulalip Resort Casino sportsbook manager Brandon Jones commented: “These new retail sportsbooks will take our existing world-class gaming experience to a new level, and we are thrilled to be able to show our guests additions to both properties beginning today.”
Both Washington sportsbooks will feature live in-game sports betting and multiple wagering options, with sports event viewing available on two of the largest LED screens in the Northwest.
Tulalip’s customers can watch up to ten live sporting events on the 800 square feet LED screen, which takes up a substantial part of the 5,005-square-foot sportsbook.
There will be 20 kiosks and four over-the-counter ticket windows, with another ten sports betting kiosks conveniently located throughout Tulalip’s gaming floor.
Quil Ceda Creek meanwhile, offers a different kind of viewing experience with its entertainment and nightclub venue ‘The Stage’. The four video walls in The Stage span 896 square feet and are comprised of 13 million pixels, which can display up to 10 different views simultaneously.
DraftKings director of retail sportsbook operation Michael Kibort, Sr commented: “Tulalip Resort Casino and Quil Ceda Creek Casino are preeminent entertainment destinations in the Pacific Northwest. Our brand-new DraftKings retail sportsbooks at each location will provide sports fans in the area and tourists alike with an unmatched in-person gaming experience.”
