WIDE LEFT Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Two day getaway to the Finger Lakes included a stop at the new Del Lago casino. Very impressed with their Sportsbook, from the bar area to the great TVs. Very nice setup, and I am not easily impressed, having lived in Las Vegas for many years. Oh, and I put down $400 on Bills to win the AFC East, at 10-1 odds. Very disappointed, but not surprised at all, that the Indian casinos in WNY have not incorporated sports betting/ Sportsbook in their operations. They are now legally entitled to do so, but so far have chosen not to. Major mistake giving them a monopoly on gaming operations in WNY. The casinos they operate here are poorly run, poorly managed and would be bankrupt but for the monopoly they were granted. Their inaction in the sports betting area just another example of their incompetence and arrogance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes almost no time to set up a Sportsbook, and certainly not “a few months”. We have Sportsbooks in Erie Pa, New Jersey, and other parts of New York, that were put in place literally a week within legalization. What in the world are these Indian casinos waiting for? The NFL starts this week, and that’s the big money maker. But you made my point, only an arrogant/incompetent organization would sit on their hands this long and not have a Sportsbook in place by now.

It’s neither ignorant nor insensitive to point out how poorly managed and operated these casinos are. Failure to incorporate sports betting in time for NFL season is just another example of this, especially in light of other casinos in New York State that have managed to accomplish this. But of course there are many politically correct snowflakes out there who will not permit ANY criticism of their preferred protected group, regardless of how valid that criticism may be. Talk about patronizing. The soft racism of lowered expectations. I would criticize any casino operated like these, regardless of who owned them. Should not make a difference, one way or another.

Big push to get them done last week for football season. These are kind of pared back from what we normally do, but the ones we do in Vegas have 'man caves' you can reserve with your friends; which have controllers and tablets for you to order food, and watch whatever game you want while you gamble, drink, eat, etc. Much better than looking for your game on whatever display they want to show it. Very cool experience getting rave reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
