US casino operator Boyd Gaming has expanded its partnership with FanDuel Group to launch a new online, mobile and retail sports betting offering in the state of Illinois.
The FanDuel Par-A-Dice Sportsbook online mobile platform will enable players in the state to place bets on sports such as football, basketball, baseball and ice hockey.
Flutter Entertainment-owned FanDuel will also operate a retail sportsbook at Boyd’s Par-A-Dice Casino in East Peoria, Illinois, pending the regulatory approval of land-based wagering in the state.
“Given the tremendous success of our existing FanDuel Sportsbooks, we are confident that the FanDuel Par-A-Dice Sportsbook will quickly become Illinois sports bettors’ mobile app of choice,” Boyd’s president and chief executive Keith Smith said.
