ESPN BET Retail Sportsbook Launches at Hollywood Casino Toledo

Hollywood Casino Toledo in Ohio unveiled its new ESPN BET Sportsbook and Restaurant on Friday, Sept. 27. The revamped retail sportsbook is located on the main casino floor next to Final Cut Steakhouse.

ESPN BET Sportsbook at Hollywood Casino Toledo offers gamblers three betting windows, 19 betting kiosks, etc.

The newly-branded ESPN BET Sportsbook offers guests three betting windows, 19 betting kiosks, 13 video poker machines, and over 40 HDTVs, and a 460-square-foot jumbotron for viewing the best games and every pro football game, every week, all season long.

“We are thrilled to bring this premium betting and viewing atmosphere to our customers in the great city of Toledo,” said Brad Hirsch, Vice President and General Manager of Hollywood Casino Toledo.

“Leveraging the ESPN BET brand allows us to deliver an even better experience for our guests not just on the betting side, but the dining and sports viewing side as well. We are looking forward to finding new and exciting ways to activate our [sportsbook] space and deliver unique experiences that you can only find here at Hollywood Toledo.”

ESPN BET, which launched in November 2023, is the official sportsbook of “The Worldwide Leader in Sports.” The sportsbook combines ESPN’s industry-leading brand and multiplatform reach with PENN’s proprietary in-house technology and deep sportsbook operational expertise.

Sportsbook is available for online sports betting in 19 jurisdictions

Furthermore, ESPN BET is currently available for online sports betting in 19 jurisdictions, including Ohio. The newly-branded sportsbook at Hollywood Casino Toledo is one of several branded retail locations scheduled to open across PENN properties this fall, pending applicable regulatory approvals.

Other ESPN BET Sportsbook retail locations that are now available include L’Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles, Margaritaville Resort Casino in Bossier City, Hollywood Casino Columbus (OH), and Hollywood Casino Perryville (MD).

The first ESPN BET branded retail sportsbook opened at Hollywood Casino at Greektown in Detroit in April.

Additionally, Hollywood Casino Toledo’s ESPN BET launch comes days after the sportsbook went fully live in New York. The Empire State’s full launch also came after the operator started accepting wagers.

On Oct. 23, the New York State Gaming Commission unanimously approved PENN Interactive’s $25-million acquisition of Wynn Interactive. The deal included a sports betting license in the state as well.
