Golden Nugget Biloxi is partnering with DraftKings to launch a high-tech sportsbook.
"The anticipated launch of DraftKings Sportsbook is expected to set a new benchmark for the sports gambling industry in Mississippi, presenting customers with a comprehensive experience of advanced technology, luxurious facilities, and exciting gaming.
Golden Nugget Biloxi, in collaboration with DraftKings, announced their plan to transform the existing sportsbook into an advanced retail space. The plan is set to commence operations in January 2024, with a $1 million investment infusing new energy into Mississippi's gaming industry.
Golden Nugget Biloxi, partnering with DraftKings, hosted a bold sports gambling event, marking a significant reform in Mississippi's entertainment sector. Chet Harrison, the General Manager of Golden Nugget Biloxi, expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating that successfully integrating DraftKings Sportsbook into their team is a source of pride.
According to Mr. Harrison, the upcoming betting platform will occupy half of the original buffet area. He added that the remaining half will temporarily remain unused and be utilized as additional meeting space when needed.
The renovated sportsbook will feature stylish design, with three walls adorned with state-of-the-art LED screens. The viewing area will provide VIP and stadium seating, creating a luxurious atmosphere for customers. This $1 million investment aims to create a grand environment for sports enthusiasts, equipped with approximately 40 comfortable lounge chairs, becoming the ideal venue for watching playoffs and the Super Bowl.
The integration of DraftKings enhances the sportsbook at Golden Nugget Biloxi with cutting-edge features.
The impact of DraftKings on technology and functionality is evident in the DraftKings Sportsbook application. The application has seamlessly integrated with the products of Golden Nugget Biloxi's casino. Customers can now enjoy the same gaming options, prop bets, and various in-game betting options, making it very convenient.
Michael Kibort, the Senior Director of Retail Sportsbook Operations at DraftKings, commented on the collaboration, stating, ""Golden Nugget is renowned for providing a luxurious entertainment experience, and we look forward to pioneering new opportunities for the hotel's latest members through the state-of-the-art retail sportsbook.""
While constructing the new sportsbook, current sportsbooks and kiosks, including Michael Crawford's Sports Bar & Grill, continue to operate using DraftKings technology. DraftKings is committed to providing a safe and responsible gaming experience, actively engaging with industry associations such as the American Gaming Association and the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG).
Golden Nugget Biloxi aims to introduce DraftKings sports gambling to set a new standard in areas that will provide a technologically advanced, luxurious, and thrilling gaming experience for sports gambling customers in Mississippi." |
