Boyd Gaming and FanDuel have launched mobile sports betting in Illinois with plans for a retail sportsbook.
FanDuel will operate a sports book at Par-A-Dice Casino in East Peoria, Illinois pending regulatory approval.
Keith Smith, CEO of Boyd Gaming, said, “Given the tremendous success of our existing FanDuel Sportsbooks, we are confident that the FanDuel Par-A-Dice Sportsbook will quickly become Illinois sports bettors' mobile app of choice. We are excited for the opportunity to offer both mobile and retail sports betting in one of the most populous states in the country, as we continue to expand our strategic partnership with FanDuel Group."
Boyd Gaming and FanDuel have previously launched mobile sports betting in Indiana and Pennsylvania.
FanDuel also operates retail sportsbooks at eight Boyd locations in five states.
