With that deal and Caesars retail sportsbook, the Ak-Chin is the first state tribe to work with two different sports betting partners. The Ak-Chin also has an agreement with Fubo Gaming, which has been hoping to launch by the fourth quarter of 2021.
The Harrah’s Caesars-branded sportsbook is the fourth to open in the Valley, after Gila River Hotels & Casinos opened BetMGM Arizona sportsbooks at its three locations. The casino hotel is in Maricopa County, just outside Phoenix. Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino Senior Vice President and General Manager Michael Kintner and David Snock, Vice President of Western Operations for William Hill, celebrated the first bet at the property. Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino opened its new Caesars Sportsbook on Thursday, located adjacent to Live Keno with a temporary setup of four self-service betting kiosks and two betting windows, set to be expanded at a later date in 2022.
