PENN Entertainment is set to open retail sportsbooks at both its Missouri properties, per recent company job postings. This is also a precursor, presumably, of the company’s plans to launch its mobile ESPN BET sportsbook statewide.
PENN is hiring sportsbook managers at its two Show-Me State Casinos, Hollywood Casino St. Louis and River City Casino, both in the St. Louis metro area. The job postings are the clearest indicator yet PENN intends to offer retail books at its two managed properties in the state.
Missouri’s 2024 constitutional amendment that legalized sports betting lets state casinos also partner with mobile sportsbooks. PENN seems poised to collaborate with one of two properties for market access for ESPN BET, the online sports betting platform it operates using the eponymous brand.
