The new location adds to the company’s sportsbooks at
Horseshoe Baltimore Casino, also in Maryland, and Capital One Arena in the
District of Columbia.
“We’re proud to partner with Long Shot’s, a women-owned and
operated business that has established a remarkable reputation in the growing
Frederick community, to bring in-person sports betting back to the sports fans
in the area,” said Dan Shapiro, SVP and chief development officer at Caesars
Digital.
Caesars is not the first company to run a retail sportsbook
at Long Shot’s. U.K.-based company BetFred opened a sportsbook at the location
in October 2023. After posting low revenue numbers from both retail and online
services, BetFred ceased retail operations in Maryland on June 30, 2024,
followed by mobile online service ending on July 31, 2024.
“This partnership not only allows us to connect with more
Maryland sports fans but also provides an exciting destination for those
looking to experience the energy of in-person sports betting,” Shapiro said.
Shapiro thanked the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Commission
and their new partner Cohenterprises Inc. for making the new location possible.
Caesars Sportsbook at Long Shot’s is a 4,900-square-foot
space with a variety of viewing options, including a lounge and bar with
seating that can accommodate single customers or larger groups. The space
features eight self-service sports betting kiosks and three video walls. Sports
fans who visit can now enjoy more ways to bet than previously offered at the location,
including in-game wagering and same-game parlays. Long Shot’s also offers
pari-mutuel horse race wagering.
Horseshoe Casino Baltimore Evacuated
Meanwhile, Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, owned and operated by
Caesars Entertainment, had to evacuate all guests and staff on Sunday due to
water damage caused by a pipe failure.
The casino was temporarily closed for crews to address the
water damage. The facility’s 122,000-square-foot gaming floor holds 97 table
games, 56 electronic table games, and over 1,600 slot machines.
The company announced on Facebook it planned to reopen at noon
on Monday.
