Cleveland, Ohio (WOIO) – For the first time, you can legally bet on sports in Ohio.<\/p>\n
For Cleveland Cavaliers fans, your chance is right from the game inside the just-opened Caesars Sportsbook’s Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s nice to bet $10 and maybe win $200,\u201d said one Cavs fan.<\/p>\n
On Monday morning, City of Cleveland leaders, Cavaliers officials and legends, and Caesars sportsbook leaders like David Grohlman, just hours before the Cavaliers played the Chicago Bulls, opened a Vegas-style sportsbook. I showed off what was inside.<\/p>\n
The approximately 10,355-square-foot sportsbook has a wall of flat-screen TVs, five betting windows, and 15 betting kiosks. <\/p>\n
The second floor of the sportsbook has a lounge-like atmosphere with sofas, chairs, and cocktail tables. <\/p>\n
There are bars on both the lower and upper floors with an extensive menu<\/p>\n
Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse’s Nic Barlage says it took him three years to partner with Ceasars Sportsbook.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the day, when we start by creating additional amenities and experiences like this, fans are at the heart of everything we do,\u201d Barlage says.<\/p>\n
He told 19 News that the money he makes from sports betting in Ohio will come back to help young people in his community.<\/p>\n
\u201c98% of tax revenue from sports gambling goes back to schools,\u201d says Barlage.<\/p>\n
