A DraftKings sportsbook is opening up at the Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort in Mississippi on Friday, Nov. 16. The sportsbook will be DraftKings’ first physical betting location ever established in the United States.
Scarlet Pearl is located on the Gulf Coast in D’Iberville, Mississippi. The casino’s new sportsbook will feature multiple screens and three windows for fans to place live, in-game wagers on both college and professional sports. The sportsbook will be directed by Nicholas “Nico” Sfanos, who previously ran sportsbooks for Station Casinos in Nevada.
“We are excited to introduce DraftKings, a ‘New Way’ to game for our current and future guests,” said Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort CEO LuAnn Pappas in a press release.
