Angela Matthews of Jack Entertainment said the new sportsbook at Thistledown Racino is a hit and that she’s seeing about a 10-15% increase in the number of people walking through the doors.
“What we’ve seen is actually a demographic we haven’t seen,” Matthews said. “A little bit younger crowd. Definitely Ohio sports fans have been coming and when we have events the place fills up.”
She said the bars inside have become a place to come and watch the games, with sports betting kiosks nearby.
“It’s an increase of energy and fun that not only the sportsbook area receives,” Matthews said.
