MILWAUKEE, WI – Friday, May 3, 2024 will mark the grand opening of Potawatomi Casino Milwaukee’s highly-anticipated 14-table Poker Room and its Las Vegas-style Sportsbook. Located in the previous Northern Lights Theater on the first level, construction began on both venues in September 2023 and are in the final stage of the casino’s $190 million renovations.
“We are excited to bring the next level of an entertaining sports betting atmosphere to our guests,” said Dominic Ortiz, CEO of Potawatomi Casino Hotel. “We appreciate the patience our guests have given us while we build out these two extraordinary projects. I can assure them, it will be well worth the wait.”
The Poker Room will feature 14 tables with games including 1-3 No Limit, 2-5 No Limit and Pot Limit Omaha (PLO). Guests will also enjoy promotions such as Hourly High Hand Jackpots and Bad Beat Jackpot. The Poker Room will utilize the food and beverage services from its neighbor, Sportsbook.
The Potawatomi Sportsbook, the 6,500 sq. ft. retail sports betting space, will consist of two floors, 2,000 sq. ft. LED screen, broadcast booth with a three-camera system, 20 TVs in sizes up to 98” and seating for over 200. Kiosks and ticket writers will be available for all casino guests.
“There is not a retail betting space outside of Las Vegas that can compete with the high-end venue we’re unveiling on May 3,” said Sean Cullen, Director of Sportsbook. “With the 75 kiosks we currently have, we are #2 in the country for gross gaming revenue of publicly reporting sportsbooks. We believe our new retail sports betting venue will make us a top travel destination in the Midwest.”
In addition to food, the Potawatomi Sportsbook will feature forty-eight beers will be on tap, including the Dealers Choice Potawatomi Pilsner, a collaboration with Milwaukee’s own City Lights Brewing Co.
