Fanatics Betting and Gaming has opened its first sportsbook retail location in the state of New Jersey, in partnership with Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City.
The Fanatics Sportsbook at the Ocean Casino Resort is located in The Gallery, which features a bar and lounge area as well as gaming facilities, measuring 12,000 sq. ft.
On offer at the new Fanatics Sportsbook location will be legal betting markets for all major sports, with its opening coming just in time for the start of the new NFL season, which gets underway with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Baltimore Ravens.
The opening of the retail location comes after the Fanatics Sportsbook and Casino app launched in the Garden State earlier this year in May.
Fanatics Betting and Gaming Chief Business Officer Ari Borod said: "It’s an exciting day in our company’s continuous evolution as we announce the opening of Fanatics Sportsbook at Ocean Casino Resort.
"As Fanatics grows its gaming presence in New Jersey, Ocean represents the perfect partner to deliver an elevated retail sports betting experience at the premier hotel in Atlantic City.”
Ocean Casino Resort General Manager Bill Callahan added: “Fanatics boasts an unmatched roster of the world’s most renown sports leagues, teams, and global brands and we are excited to present these to our guests here at Ocean.”
