Wind Creek Bethlehem Opens Sportsbook

Wind Creek Hospitality and Betfred USA Sports launched Pennsylvania’s newest sportsbook at Wind Creek Bethlehem on Wednesday November 18. The sportsbook is the first for Wind Creek in the U.S., and the third for Betfred Sports, which has opened sportsbooks at Grand Falls Casino & Golf Resort in Larchwood, Iowa and Saratoga Casino in Black Hawk, Colorado.

The sportsbook, which is located in the space formerly occupied by Buddy V’s Ristorante, is the culmination of a deal that was signed in January. It features two state-of-the-art video walls, 31 individual TVs, three betting windows and eight self-service betting kiosks, in addition to multiple viewing areas and a sports pub for food and beverage.

“Opening the Sportsbook at Wind Creek Bethlehem provides yet another exciting gaming opportunity for our guests,” said Jay Dorris, president & CEO of Wind Creek Hospitality. “Partnering with Betfred USA Sports will allow us to bring a first-class sports betting experience in a high-energy environment to the property.”

Bryan Bennett, COO of Betfred USA Sports, said, “We’re extremely excited about our partnership with Wind Creek Hospitality, and couldn’t be happier with the launch of our third U.S.-based sportsbook in one year. Pennsylvania is a massive sports betting market, and we look forward to making Wind Creek Bethlehem a go-to destination for sports bettors.”

Wind Creek Hospitality and Betfred USA Sports held a grand opening for invited guests on November 21, to formally introduce the sportsbook to the local market. The retail launch will be followed by the launch of the online sportsbook powered by Betfred Sports in the Wind Creek Casino mobile applications in the coming weeks.
