The Monmouth Park location was also the spot where New Jersey’s first ever legal in-person sports bet was placed back in 2018. The opening of a dedicated in-person sportsbook venue highlights how far the industry has come in New Jersey.
“We are so proud to partner with Caesars and delighted to offer fans this new state-of-the-art sportsbook,” said Dennis Drazin, Chairman and CEO of Darby Development LLC, operators of Monmouth Park Racetrack. “This has been a long time in the making, and it’s satisfying to finally see it come to fruition as we continue the expansion of the Monmouth Park facility as a top entertainment and gaming destination in the State.”
Having made a name – and a fortune – for itself in casino games, gambling giant Caesars is increasing its focus on sports betting, eyeing Missouri as its next geographical market.
