Greektown Casino in downtown Detroit has just unveiled its highly-anticipated ESPN BET-branded sportsbook and restaurant, making it the latest addition to the city’s rapidly growing sports betting scene. The sportsbook, which covers over 6,000 square feet, offers state-of-the-art betting technology, multiple betting counters, and dozens of high-definition televisions for sports enthusiasts to enjoy.
The grand opening of the sportsbook was attended by Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who spoke about the positive impact that sports betting can have on the local economy. “This new addition to Greektown Casino will not only attract sports fans from across the state, but it will also create jobs and generate revenue for the city,” said Mayor Duggan.
The ESPN BET-branded sportsbook is a collaboration between Greektown Casino and the world-renowned sports media giant ESPN. The partnership aims to create an immersive sports betting experience that combines cutting-edge technology with the expertise of ESPN’s sports analysts.
In addition to the sportsbook, Greektown Casino also unveiled a new restaurant called The Book, which offers a diverse menu of American classics and signature cocktails. The restaurant features a large bar area with multiple TVs for guests to watch their favorite games while enjoying a meal.
“We are thrilled to partner with ESPN to bring this exciting new sportsbook experience to our guests,” said Jason Gregorec, General Manager of Greektown Casino. “With the opening of The Book restaurant, we aim to provide a complete sports betting and dining experience that will appeal to sports fans and food enthusiasts alike.”
The opening of the ESPN BET-branded sportsbook and restaurant comes at a time when sports betting is gaining momentum across the country, with more states legalizing the practice. Michigan legalized sports betting in 2019, and Greektown Casino is one of several casinos in the state that have launched sportsbooks in recent years.
The ESPN BET-branded sportsbook at Greektown Casino is now open to the public, offering sports enthusiasts a new and exciting way to enjoy their favorite games while placing bets on their favorite teams. The casino hopes that the addition of the sportsbook and restaurant will attract both local residents and tourists, further solidifying Detroit’s status as a premier destination for sports betting and entertainment.
