Caesars Launched Horse Racing Racebook in Ohio; Partnered with Cleveland Cavaliers
Ohio is perhaps most renowned for producing world-renowned sports stars and teams, which Caesars Digital president Eric Hession made reference to in a statement announcing the launch of the full Caesars Sportsbook in the state, promising fans that they will be treated like royalty:
“Ohio’s rich tradition of sports excellence speaks for itself. Caesars Sportsbook is ready to match the pedigree and passion of Ohio sports fans with a sports wagering experience that treats them like royalty.”– Eric Hession, President, Caesars Digital, Press Release
Caesars isn’t a newcomer in Ohio, however, having already launched a horse racing wagering mobile app in the state as recently as June 2022. The launch was made possible thanks to its partnership with NYRA Bets, the official online wagering platform of the New York Racing Association (NYRA). The app allows customers to engage in pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing content from over 250 tracks worldwide.
In February 2022, Caesars deepened its footprint in Ohio by signing a multi-year agreement to become the official sportsbook partner of standout NBA team and franchise the Cleveland Cavaliers. The agreement features plans to open a retail sportsbook at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the home stadium of the Cavaliers, provided the operator receives all necessary regulatory approval. Caesars is simultaneously readying yet another land-based facility at Eldorado Gaming Scioto Downs in Columbus.

More big moves from Caesars came as recently as September 2022, when it announced that it would be launching new physical retail sportsbook locations in the Southern US state of Louisiana, along with a major update to its sports betting and iGaming platform in Pennsylvania.
The new and improved Caesars Sportsbook app in Pennsylvania puts forth a new and improved sports betting experience, as well as a range of casino gaming options. Also featured are additional ways to deposit funds, faster payouts, live scoreboards, and more in depth in-play betting options.
In the same announcement, Caesars specified the launch of several new physical retail sportsbooks facilities at its Harrah’s New Orleans and Horseshoe Bossier City Hotel & Casino sites in Louisiana. The two new sportsbooks are very sizeable: Horseshoe Bossier City’s new sportsbook covers an area of over 6,900sq ft, while the facility at Harrah’s New Orleans showcases an impressive size of 5,700sq ft.
Speaking on occasion of the major announcements, Regional President for Caesars Entertainment in Louisiana, Dan Real, boasted that the operator would soon be running the largest poker room in the state:
“This was a special week for Caesars and our longstanding commitment to Louisiana. The opening of our world-class Caesars Sportsbook locations and the new World Series of Poker® Room add to the legacy that Harrah’s New Orleans and Horseshoe Bossier City have built in the Gulf Coast region. We’re ready to welcome sports fans into our sportsbooks, and we’re proud to open the largest poker room in Louisiana, true to the WSOP brand and what it represents.”– Dan Real, Regional President for Louisiana, Caesars Entertainment, Press Release
Caesars Horse Racing Sportsbook Launched in Both Ohio and Florida Also in September 2022
As briefly mentioned already, Caesars marked yet another launch in Ohio this year when it unveiled the Caesars Racebook mobile app, also in Florida, which came as a product of its partnership with NYRA Bets.
Horse racing fans can enjoy the chance of earning exclusive prizes and experiences thanks to the Racebook’s integration with Caesars’ beloved Caesars Rewards program. Dan Shapiro, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer of Caesars Digital, hailed the launch as an important moment for the casino and sportsbook operator:
“The launch of Caesars Racebook is an important milestone as we continue to add wagering opportunities for our customers and livestreaming content for the first time. Caesars Racebook is truly differentiated as the first horse racing advance deposit wagering app to include our award-winning Caesars Rewards loyalty program. We look forward to welcoming new horse racing customers and existing fans onto the platform and to working with NYRA Bets to grow horse racing as we deploy Caesars Racebook with plans to launch in about 30 states across the country.”
