Football is here, and if you find yourself on Route 550, you can now bet on it.

The Apache Nugget Travel Center and Casino, seven months after its grand reopening, is launching a brand-new race and sportsbook just in time for the NFL season.

“This has been one thing that people have been asking for quite a bit,” said Tony J. Amormino, president and CEO of Apache Nugget Corporation. “Ever since I moved here in September of last year, people asked when are we going to have a sports book on-site. So this was one of the big things people, especially in the area, have always been asking for.”
