After years of anticipation, the long-awaited DraftKings Sportsbook at Casino Queen officially has an opening date. The casino announced on Wednesday that the new sportsbook would open on Tuesday, March 29 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2 p.m.
The 6,000-square-foot sportsbook will have a 60-foot video wall, 31 high-definition televisions, a VIP area and more than 30 betting kiosks.
Bettors have been able to place sports wagers at the casino for the past two years via a temporary retail sportsbook on-site.
“With this comprehensive renovation, we are introducing a new era of sports betting, sports viewing and overall entertainment at DraftKings at Casino Queen,” Terry Downey, president and CEO of CQ Holding Company, Inc. said in a release.
