Sportsbooks are set to open Wednesday in both Lake Charles riverboat casinos, after the Louisiana Gaming Control Board issued licenses to L’Auberge Casino Resort and Golden Nugget Lake Charles.
The sportsbook at L’Auberge is set to open at 9 a.m. Wednesday while a DraftKings sportsbook in the Golden Nugget will open at 2 p.m.
Both of the sportsbooks are temporary locations. The L’Auberge sportsbook is at the former site of the poker room and Stadium Games; it will be replaced by a Barstool Sportsbook in early 2022.
The Draft Kings facility is inside the Blue Martini bar at Golden Nugget; a 10,000-square-foot sportsbook with nearly 300 seats is set to open in the summer.
