Caesars Entertainment recently celebrated the grand openings of two Louisiana-based casinos. Harrah's New Orleans and Horseshoe Bossier City Hotel & Casino opened Caesars Sportsbook locations at their resorts.
"This was a special week for Caesars and our longstanding commitment to Louisiana," said Dan Real, Regional President, Caesars Entertainment. "The opening of our world-class Caesars Sportsbook locations and the new World Series of Poker® Room add to the legacy that Harrah's New Orleans and Horseshoe Bossier City have built in the Gulf Coast region. We're ready to welcome sports fans into our sportsbooks, and we're proud to open the largest poker room in Louisiana, true to the WSOP brand and what it represents."
To commemorate these openings, Caesars held two ceremonial events inside Harrah's and Horseshoe this week, each featuring a ribbon-cutting and ceremonial first bet.
In New Orleans, Archie and Cooper Manning joined Pro Football Hall of Famer and former New Orleans Saint Rickey Jackson and others to open the new sportsbook and poker room. Jackson placed the ceremonial first bet with any possible winnings benefitting the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). In Bossier City, Caesars Sportsbook opened with Mayor Tommy Chandler cutting the ribbon.
In addition to in-person wagering at these properties, the Caesars Sportsbook app features improved performance with a focus on speed, ease of use, and intuitive features to make getting a bet down easier than ever. Bettors can take advantage of additional ways to deposit funds, faster payouts, live scoreboards, and expanded in-play betting options, as well as same-game parlays, new cashout functionality, and more ways to wager with thousands of additional markets.
Both online and in-person, Caesars Sportsbook integrates the loyalty program, Caesars Rewards. Every bet placed rewards the bettor with Tier Credits for status and Reward Credits that can be used to unlock unbeatable experiences within the Caesars portfolio of properties and partnerships.
