CHANDLER, Ariz., Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BetMGM, a
leading sports betting and iGaming operator, and Gila River Hotels
& Casinos today announced the opening of The BetMGM Sportsbook
at Vee Quiva. This marks the first opening of a BetMGM retail
sportsbook in Arizona and
Phoenix's first in-casino
sportsbook.
"It's great to see our partnership with Gila River come to life
in Arizona," said BetMGM CEO
Adam Greenblatt. "The BetMGM
Sportsbook at Vee Quiva will be a true destination for sports fans
and we look forward to opening additional venues at Wild Horse Pass
and Lone Butte. These retail
sportsbooks complement our existing mobile platform in Arizona and further cement our goal of
providing BetMGM customers with a world-class experience."
In August, BetMGM announced partnerships with Gila River Hotels
& Casinos and the Arizona Cardinals for retail and
online sports betting, establishing its first relationships in the
state. BetMGM collaborated with Gila River to build custom
sportsbooks at each of its three properties - Vee Quiva, Wild Horse
Pass and Lone Butte.
Kenneth Manuel, CEO of Gila River
Hotels & Casinos, said, "The new sportsbooks align perfectly
with Gila River's sports-centric brand. As Arizona's Official Sports Headquarters, we
take pride in bringing unique sports experiences to our valued
guests. We're excited to partner with BetMGM to deliver a diverse,
engaging selection of betting options, no matter if you're a huge
sports fan or just want to check out the fun."
The BetMGM Sportsbook at Vee Quiva boasts 25 large screen
displays, a massive media wall and seating for more than 100
guests. Guests can view games and events from all major U.S. and
international sports. The sportsbook also features 20 betting
kiosks and ticket writers present to assist guest with placing
bets.
In addition to launching sportsbooks at Wild Horse Pass and
Lone Butte in the near future,

Sportsbook at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals,
