Mount Airy Retail Bookie Now Open for Business

Mount Airy Retail Bookie Now Open for Business

A couple of days after launching its online betting site, Mount Airy Casino opened a retail sportsbook on its property. The Mount Airy retail bookie had a soft launch Monday. After two days of testing, the casino officially launched it on Wednesday.

The timing for the opening of the Mount Airy retail bookie is just right for football games on the weekend. In fact, the Penn State vs Pittsburgh game is one of the most hyped football rivalries happening this weekend.

Mount Airy Casino was the first online bookie software licensee in Pennsylvania that launched its online sportsbook without a retail one. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board was reluctant to allow a casino to launch an online betting site first before opening a sportsbook on its property. However, it seems like the board is no longer concerned about the order of the launch.
