Executives at Raynham Park pointed toward a football-season opening of their new brick-and-mortar sportsbook during a preliminary review of their application Monday by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.
Commissioners finished the meeting without taking a vote due to time constraints, but through about seven hours of public and private discussion they seemed headed toward initial approval of the application. The MGC plans to schedule further review with Raynham Park executives in the future.
Monday’s presentation included description of a 30,000-square-foot sportsbook with myriad video walls, teller windows, kiosks, and food options, as well as review of personnel, diversity, equity, and inclusion standards, technical standards, financials, and more.
Caesars Sportsbook will operate the new facility and become the fourth national operator with a brick-and-mortar presence in the state. Barstool Sportsbook (Plainridge Park), BetMGM (MGM Springfield), and WynnBET (Encore Boston Harbor) are located at the state’s three casinos and launched operations Jan. 31. The state’s two racetracks and parimutuel facilities, Raynham Park and Suffolk Downs, are also eligible for licenses.
