(Emmetsburg)-A special event will launch sports betting at the Wild Rose Casino in Emmetsburg Friday, KUOO’s Becky Thoreson has details:
Wild Rose Entertainment will now offer sports wagering at its casinos, including The Wild Rose Casino and Resort in Emmetsburg.
Marketing Manager Zach Stewart says, renovations are underway to accommodate sports betting. “Basically, we’re in the process of starting a renovation where we’ll be moving Coaches Corner into our atrium. We’ve done some sort of shifting around with things located in the atrium so, what was known as the Iowa Store is now located in the hotel lobby and then the old location is actually our new Sportsbook.”
He adds that a ceremony will be held Friday afternoon to launch the betting. “At 1 o’clock is when we’ll do our ceremonial first bet, and that will be actually done by Dallas Clark.”
The Wild Rose secured sports betting licenses from the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission last summer.
