Caesars Entertainment has unveiled a new trackside retail sportsbook at Monmouth Park Racecourse in Oceanport, New Jersey.
The new standalone venue is located adjacent to the Monmouth Park clubhouse and features 16,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor sports viewing space, including sweeping views of the iconic racetrack.
Monmouth Park made history by accepting the state’s first legal in-person sports wager in 2018 at its then William Hill-powered sportsbook, following the overturning of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA).
“It’s fitting to open this cutting-edge venue at Monmouth Park, where legal sports betting in New Jersey first launched, and add to its rich history,” said Dan Shapiro, senior vice president and chief development officer at Caesars Digital. “With this investment, we are proud to continue to support horse racing in the Garden State. We expect that the new integrated sports wagering experience will draw new fans from the Jersey Shore and beyond.”
Caesars Sportsbook at Monmouth Park includes wall-to-wall video, more than 25 self-service betting kiosks, and also offers pari-mutuel race wagering to customers.
“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, operator 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.”
