Mount Airy Casino Resort in Mount Pocono has officially cut the ribbon on its new retail sportsbook.
The sportsbook had a soft opening last month.
The private 3,800-square-foot area is located just off the casino floor with space for about 75 people.
The sportsbook features 50 televisions for sports viewing, a luxury lounge and a 12-table poker room.
The casino has 20 employees working the sportsbook.
The ribbon cutting comes on the heels of the launch of the casino’s online gaming offerings, which launched earlier this week.
The resort launched the partnership with Fox Bet, which will allow in-state residents to make sports wagers and PokerStars, a gaming platform, to have online poker and other gaming options such as slots, roulette and black jack.
Mount Airy’s Sportsbook will have its official public launch event Saturday. The resort will be giving away sportsbook t-shirts and hosting food and beer specials.
