The partnership will allow for a TwinSpires retail sportsbook to open at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino, which is owned and operated by the Tonto Apache Tribe.
TwinSpires will also be able to roll out its online sportsbook, though both launches will be subject to the brand securing the applicable gaming licenses and regulatory approvals.
“The team behind the most exciting two minutes in sports is thrilled to partner with the Tonto Apache Tribe and pursue offering our leading sportsbook product and promotions to sports fans throughout Arizona,” TwinSpires president Ian Williams said.
