Caesars is flexing its gaming muscle as it throws down its sports betting kiosks across the heart of Washington D.C. This colossal expansion has been making waves, boosting the district's gambling scene. That's right, sports enthusiasts across the district are now donning their lucky charms, getting ready to dive head-first into the exciting world of sports betting straight from the comfort of their favorite bars and eateries.
But, wait for it, here's the kicker! The District's Office of Lottery and Gaming has turned on the heat, requiring at least one kiosk to be up and running come October 1. With that fiery demand, it would seem Caesars' competition might now be sweating bullets.
The financial wizards in the District's budget department clearly recognized the potential power shift underfoot. Thus, a change in kiosk operators made it onto the 2025 budget draft, lending some fuel to the already roaring fires of competition.
