license with Grand Central Restaurant and
Sportsbook (Grand Central), marked the first Class-B,
small-business sportsbook location of its kind in the
U.S. We are extremely pleased with the strong
performance of this first location in the Adams Morgan
district of DC, as illustrated by the continuous growth in betting
handle. Given this joint success, we are proud to now announce
plans for a second sportsbook location with the ownership of Grand
Central in Washington D.C. We believe our sportsbook
solutions could play an important role in supporting the recovery
of bars, restaurants and other small businesses post pandemic, and
are witnessing very strong interest and demand for our solutions
and our highly popular Build-Your-Bet feature for sports
bettors. We appreciate the support of the DCOLG in
establishing and developing our first MSP location and together
with DSLDB we now look forward to working closely with District
