William Hill's CEO comments on New Jersey's revenue
12 Jul 2018
"While it's still early, we're obviously off to a great start. We always knew there was a big appetite for legal sports betting during the years of litigation, and now it is being proven. We are proud to be creating new jobs in New Jersey and bringing excitement to our customers. We can't wait until football season."
Since the landmark Supreme Court ruling that legalized sports betting in May, William Hill, America’s leading sports book operator, has opened two active sports books in New Jersey -- at Monmouth Park Racetrack (Long Branch) and Ocean Resort Casino (Atlantic City), bringing first-class sports betting experiences to both ends of the state. Both locations offer the state’s most diverse sports betting menu, which includes football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, tennis and more.
The Monmouth Park Sports Book by William Hill opened on 14 June. The complex features a 15-window main sports book, and an integrated sports bar, with more than 40 HDTVs showing live sporting events and dynamic betting lines. The sports book is open seven days a week.
The William Hill Sports Book at the Ocean Resort casino opened on 28 June. The 7,500 square-foot sports book is located in the heart of Ocean’s gaming floor. All of the features of the $6 million sports book area will be in place by the start of football season, highlighted by a state-of-the-art video wall technology for the viewing of sporting events and live odds.
