As the National Football League season went into full action today, gamblers, football fans and curious spectators gathered at Casino Windsor just before the 1 p.m. kickoffs to take in the scene.
At 12:50 p.m. today about 175 people crammed into Legends, the new sports lounge at Casino Windsor. Many waited in line at three betting windows, trying to place wagers before the 1 p.m. football games began.
High-definition televisions surrounded the room.
The lounge, which opened Friday, is part of a $360-million expansion at the casino.
It's the first sports betting lounge easily accessible to Detroiters. The other closest one opened in Niagara Falls, Ontario, last year. In the United States, sports betting is legal only in Nevada. |
