Michigan is the sixth state FanDuel has secured its entry into. Dall went on that their partnership with FanDuel takes the experience offered at the property to the next level and that with the sports betting operator, MotorCity guests would be able to “engage with their favorite sports in a dynamic new way at Detroit’s only locally owned and operated casino.”įanDuel Group CEO Matt King said that Detroit being an incredible sports town was a perfect fit to their strategy to expand their presence nationwide. Consistently Raising the BarĪbout entering the sports betting segment, MotorCity Casino President Bruce Dall said that they have been committed to “reimagining the guest experience” by “consistently raising the bar with innovative entertainment, world-class luxury hotel accommodations and high energy gaming activities.” The state’s wagering law also permits digital betting, but the Michigan Gaming Control Board is yet to draft the rules regulating the online sector. Michigan legalized sports betting late last year as part of wider gambling expansion push that also authorized online casino-style gaming. Today’s start of wagering at the gambling venue means that Michigan’s all three commercial casinos have managed to go live with sports betting right in time for the March Madness basketball tourney. Reports about the partnership between FanDuel and MotorCity Casino first emerged earlier this month. The betting facility will accept wagers on all major US and international sports, including football, baseball, hockey, basketball, soccer, golf, boxing, motorsports racing, and many more.

The FanDuel Sportsbook at MotorCity Casino will spread over two stories and will feature six betting windows, 67 HD televisions, one ticker, a VIP area, and 54 self-service IGT PlaySports betting kiosks. The betting operator said Wednesday in a press release announcing its partnership with the Detroit-based casino that it would “ administer all core services affecting betting for the sportsbook.” Under its partnership with MotorCity Casino, FanDuel is set to open its latest sports betting facility as part of its US expansion campaign today at 10 am local time. Sports betting officially kicked off in Michigan on Wednesday, March 11, when MGM Grand Detroit and Greektown Casino-Hotel debuted their brick-and-mortar sportsbooks. Michigan is getting its third sportsbook today after FanDuel and MotorCity Casino in Detroit announced an exclusive wagering partnership and the gambling venue obtained the necessary approval to conduct betting activities from the state Gaming Control Board.
