Sports fans who sign up for the new, exclusive “Champions Fan Club” in advance of the Grand Opening will be eligible to win a Grand Opening prize, featuring a special VIP experience at the sports book for a group of four.

The Oneida Indian Nation announced today it is partnering with Caesars Entertainment to open sports books known as “The Lounge at Caesars Sports” at the Oneida Nation’s award-winning Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, NY, and Point Place Casino in Bridgeport, NY, with a grand opening celebration planned for August 1. “The Lounge with Caesars Sports” is planned to open at Yellow Brick Road Casino before the start of the NFL season.

Additional details about the August 1 grand opening festivities will be revealed next week.

The Lounge with Caesars Sports

“The Lounge with Caesars Sports” venues at the Oneida Indian Nation’s casinos will feature LED terminals with high-definition resolution, state-of-the-art odds boards that constantly update and offer opportunities for in-game wagers, as well as new full-service bars, ticket windows, ultra-comfortable seating, and VIP areas with their own dedicated TV screens.

At Turning Stone, “The Lounge with Caesars Sports” will be prominently located at the resort’s main entrance. It will feature a massive 500-square-foot curved LED screen, with acuity similar to Times Square, visible from three sides and to visitors entering from the main entrance and the parking garage. Plus, there are an additional 16 large LED TVs throughout the sports book, including a mix of 65-inch screens and 85-inch screens to put the viewers at the center of the sports action.

The new sports book at Point Place Casino will be in the newly expanded gaming floor, with the primary video wall featuring a 24-foot HD LED screen, plus an additional 30 LED TVs throughout the space, a mix of both 65-inch screens and 85-inch screens.

Sports fans also have an opportunity to join the Oneida Indian Nation’s just-launched Champions Fan Club to receive the latest sports book news and information about exclusive events and become eligible for special offers. The Champions Fan Club is completely free to join.

Champions Fan Club members who sign up before the grand opening on August 1 will be eligible for a selection of prizes and exclusive opportunities, including one lucky member who will win a Grand Opening Prize package.

The leaders of Oklahoma-based Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek) and Seminole nations have approved a resolution denouncing the new Republican governor’s plan to force negotiations for a bigger slice of revenue from Oklahoma’s tribal casinos.

The Inter-Tribal Council of the five civilised tribes approved the resolution during a meeting in Tulsa.

Last week, Gov. Kevin Stitt said that the existing compacts should be reevaluated now that the gambling industry has matured in Oklahoma.

Tribal leaders and the governor disagree over what triggers a 15-year renewal of the compacts.
