Beau Rivage casino will expand their sportsbook on March 25- This will happen during March Madness
- Sports gamblers will still be able to place their bets
BILOXI, Miss – The Beau Rivage Casino will begin construction that will help expand their sportsbook on March 25.
In The Middle Of March Madness
The start date for construction has raised some eyebrows from locals. March Madness is underway and the American Gaming Association is predicting that there will be over $8.5 billion wagered during the tournament. Some fans are thinking maybe the sportsbook should have waited until the end of the tournament to begin construction.
However, the Beau Rivage found a workaround to allow customers to bet on March Madness. The sportsbook will have a window that will take bets during March Madness and until the end of construction.
What The Sportsbook Currently Has
Sportsbook Director Will Hall said that he and the rest of the casino are very proud of what they currently have in place.
“It’s been awesome. We’re kind of in the heart of the SEC. We’re surrounded by all the states and we just get the fan bases coming. The Beau is such a great property so it’s really a perfect marriage.”
The sportsbook had multiple HD TVs playing games around the clock. They also had a bar for the sportsbook which was located right next to one of their buffets. The sportsbook aimed to give fans a comfortable spot for them to bet and watch games.
The operators of the sportsbook want to make the sportsbook bigger and better for their customers. The owners of the casino have not commented on how exactly they will expand the sportsbook.
However, all the amenities that fans enjoyed in the past will not be available while the sportsbook is under construction. During construction, there will be no lounging areas or televisions for bettors to watch the game. It is currently unclear how the construction will affect revenue.
As March Madness continues and fans of sports betting in Mississippi are placing their bets, the Beau Rivage will continue limited operations during construction. There will be at least one sportsbook window that will take their bets during the expansion, so fans of the sportsbook will just have to deal with a little noise while placing their sports wagers.
