BetMGM launches retail sports betting in Washington

BetMGM has launched retail sports betting at Emerald Queen Casino (EQC) in Washington with the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. The BetMGM Sportsbook EQC features a 500-square-foot video wall, more than a dozen 86’’ HD televisions, 70 ‘DreamSeat’ leather armchairs, six ticket windows and 30 betting kiosks.

Sports betting on tribal land in the State of Washington became legal on March 25, 2020, when Governor Inslee signed sports betting legislation into law. Emerald Queen Casino, which is owned by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, partnered with BetMGM to open the new EQC Sportsbook. Emerald Queen Casino is the exclusive partner for BetMGM in Washington. "We're thrilled to expand BetMGM's presence in Washington, a significant market filled with some of the country's most passionate sports fans," commented BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt. "Together with the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and our partners at Emerald Queen Casino, we're proud to welcome guests to the state's premier sportsbook."

The Puyallup Tribal Council, the Tribe's governing body, said: "EQC has really gone above and beyond in making BetMGM Sportsbook @ EQC the premier destination for sports betting in the Northwest. We've got the biggest video screen in the country, great seating, and an opening day that brought sports legends plus a live broadcast and a live game. We are striving to offer the best sports betting experience around at the Betting Capital of the Northwest!"
