Four casinos will be licensed to take sports fans' bets this Sunday. On Friday, the Louisiana Gaming Control Board announced it has issued sports betting licenses to Harrah’s New Orleans, Boomtown Casino in Harvey, L’Auberge Baton Rouge and Horseshoe Casino in Bossier City.
The licenses take effect at 12:01 a.m. on Sunday, October 31. Does this mean sports fans can place their bets on their favorite sporting events at 12:02 a.m.? Not exactly.
The Ceasar’s Sportsbook at Harrah Casinos in New Orleans and Ceasar’s Horseshoe Casino Sportsbook in the Bossier City-Shreveport area will open their Sportsbook betting at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday.
L’Auberge Casinos plan to open next week on Monday at 4:00 p.m. and Boomtown Casino is set to open its sportsbook at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday.
