But a few weeks later, it will open the Barstool Sports sportsbook, bar and restaurant on the second floor. The Austintown racino will take sports bets at kiosks and possibly tellers at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Day.
Opening first will be Hollywood Gaming Mahoning Valley Race Course and Casino’s Barstool Sportsbook. While kiosks will initially be the most visible indication of sports betting, a new experience will soon follow – the sportsbook parlor. All professional and college sports can be bet on. Online betting requires a Type A license, brick-and-mortar sportsbooks require Type B, and kiosks in bars require Type C. House Bill 22, which legalizes sports betting in Ohio, delineates the type of state license required for each type of wagering. The sportsbook apps are currently offering promotional deals to entice Ohioans to sign up with them. Bettors will not have to drive into Pennsylvania, or another state where sports betting is legal, to place a bet, as they currently must do. 1, wagers can be placed from within the Buckeye State. Established sportsbook apps such as DraftKings, FanDuel, Bet MGM and Barstool Sports have been available to Ohioans for months.
