The facility will replace a temporary sportsbook that opened at the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation-operated casino in September
The new two-story sportsbook will allow players to place live bets at windows and kiosks, while the venue also features wall-to-wall televisions, multiple VIP rooms, two bars and a restaurant.
“Since launching retail sports betting at Foxwoods in September, the demand has been strong and continues to grow,” Foxwoods Resort Casino president and chief executive Jason Guyot said.
