State-of-the-art sports bar Oddfellahs powered
by Caesars Sportsbook is now accepting sports bets in downtown
Portland
Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR) (“Caesars”) today
celebrated the first in-person sports wagering location in the
state of Maine at the newly opened sports entertainment venue,
Oddfellahs, powered by Caesars Sportsbook. Made possible through
Caesars Sportsbook’s partnership with First Tracks Investments LLC,
the new state-of-the-art sports bar brings in-person sports betting
to the Pine Tree State for the first time.
Oddfellahs today commemorated its grand opening in the heart of
downtown Portland at 55 Market St. with a ceremonial first bet
placed by Portland Mayor Mark Dion alongside representatives from
Caesars Sportsbook, First Tracks, the Portland City Council, and
the Maine Gambling Control Unit.
“We’d like to thank Governor Janet Mills, the Maine Gambling
Control Unit, the Portland City Council and the entire state
legislature for making today possible,” said Eric Hession,
President of Caesars Digital. “It’s great to see the momentum
following our launch of mobile sports wagering in the state through
our historic partnership with three of the Wabanaki Nations. With
the first in-person sportsbook now operational, we look forward to
collaborating with First Tracks on additional in-person
opportunities in Maine.”
“Building something new is always a challenge, but great teams
make great things possible,” said Michael Cianchette, CEO of First
Tracks Investments, LLC, operator of Oddfellahs. “This is an
exciting venture for Maine’s harness racing industry, Wabanaki
tribes, and sports fans across the state to access a new
entertainment venue. We’re excited for whatever comes next and look
forward to providing sustainable, responsible opportunities.”
Oddfellahs offers sports fans 21 and older full food and
beverage service combined with an elevated sports viewing and
wagering experience. Full-service sports wagering is available
through self-service betting kiosks and a ticket window on-site in
addition to convenient cash deposits and withdrawals for Caesars
Sportsbook mobile accounts.
Sports fans should expect the ultimate viewing experience
modeled after a Vegas-style sportsbook with 36 screens to catch
sporting events at any time of the year, including every game of
the NFL season. The sports entertainment destination is open for
lunch and dinner seven days a week, opening at noon on Monday
through Thursday and at 11:00 a.m. Friday through Sunday, staying
open for each day’s advertised games.
