A deal with the Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort in D’Iberville, Mississippi gives DraftKings its first sportsbook operation outside New Jersey. Additionally, it will be DraftKings’ first-ever brick and mortar sportsbook.
The new sportsbook opens on Friday, Nov. 16 in Scarlet Pearl’s existing PRL Bar. The location is being re-purposed into a “multi-screen betting and social destination for sports lovers.”
Customers will be able to bet on “dozens of sports.” Soon this will include live in-game betting with three dedicated windows.
On-site sports betting kiosks will be brought in as soon as regulatory approval is received. There will also be an in-casino mobile app for sports betting on mobile devices.
Mississippi’s new laws to pursue its US sports betting strategy. The company clearly wants more US partners, and DraftKings looks like it fits the bill.
Maybe the Mississippi expansion could see a renewal of corporate interest in DraftKings.
