Danville Illinois Casino - What’s Next? Has 2,852 members. This group was created on June 2, 2009 to give those who are in favor of locating a casino to Danville, Illinois a social media presence. THE MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP SUPPORT: 1. HUNDREDS OF NEW PERMANENT JOBS. A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN TOURISM TO THE I-74 CORRIDOR. Illinois casinos to suspend gambling for 2 weeks Casino News / 10 months ago. Officials share thoughts on possible casinos in Danville, IL, and Terre Haute News / 1 year ago.
Residents and visitors to Danville, you’ll eventually be able to legally place wagers on your favorite sporting events. Although it’s uncertain how soon that will be a reality, the developer of a new Danville casino intends to make it so.
Among other amenities, the new gaming facility will house a legal sportsbook. That’s just one aspect of what Haven Gaming LLC hopes will produce a “wow factor” at the new casino.Details on Haven’s plans for the Danville casino
Although Haven hasn’t publicized a timeline for the casino’s opening, it listed several other facts about its plans in a Danville City Council meeting. The sportsbook is just one of many attractions.
Haven also plans to include a concert venue, convention space, hotel, lazy river, pool and several restaurants. The parking space will accommodate as many as 4,000 vehicles.Casino Coming To Danville Il Weather
Haven estimates the construction process will employ 400 individuals. As far as permanent jobs go, the company projects 1,000.
Those estimates are often inflated, however. A more certain benefit for the city is a 4% tax that the casino will pay on its revenue.
The main site of the casino will be just off I-74 on Lynch Road. The campus will encompass 42 acres that Haven will buy.New Illinois casino set to roll out in phases
Haven also intends to purchase another 30 acres across Lynch Road for further development. The buildout of the casino is set to happen incrementally.
A small “starter casino” could be open within a year of breaking ground. It would house 10-20 live tables and operate through the other phases of construction.
Haven plans to operate fewer than the maximum number of gaming positions allowed by the state in the full facility at first. From there, it has the option to expand from the original 1,250 to the max of 2,000 in the future.
Although no details were given on aesthetics or an operator for a sportsbook on the property, Haven plans to include that. The plans they provided did drop a few hints regarding what to expect.What Haven’s sportsbook details point toward for new casino
Chicago attorney Scott Sypolt, presenting on Haven’s behalf, made it clear that Haven sees sports betting as a point of attraction for younger patrons. That suggests a “sports bar” aesthetic for the sportsbook to come.
The betting windows will likely be adjacent to a lounge area, complete with multiple monitors displaying live sports broadcasts. Other screens could act as odds tickers.
In other places where the model is popular, amenities at the sportsbooks include a full bar and dining options. The idea is to make the space feel like a sports bar where guests can also place bets if they desire.
The retail sportsbook will likely be part of the later stages of the buildout, as the “starter casino” will be limited to live table games. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Danville will be late to the sports betting party, however.
Depending on how the Illinois Gaming Board interprets the state’s law, online sports betting might be available in Illinois before the Danville casino launches in full. If Haven partners with a sportsbook operator that has an online platform, it could get into the sports betting business even before its retail book opens.
All that will be decided over the coming months. Danville residents and visitors will eventually be able to place bets; that much is certain.Casino Coming To Danville Il
Golden Nugget Online Gaming (GNOG) has secured market access for online sports betting and iGaming in Illinois. It’s a deal that paints an optimistic picture for the potential of online gambling legalization in the state.
The deal has Golden Nugget and casino development firm Wilmot Gaming forming a joint venture to build a new casino in the city of Danville.
The casino will operate under Golden Nugget’s brand and feature a Landry’s steakhouse.
Crucially, the new property gives GNOG the exclusive right to offer online sports wagering on its license, as well as other forms of online gambling should they be legalized.
The access deal will last for a minimum of 20 years. It requires GNOG to pay the joint venture a percentage of its online net gaming revenue. That includes a minimum revenue guarantee, so GNOG is banking on success.Golden Nugget has big plans for IL
“We are thrilled to gain market access in Illinois, the fifth most populous US state and the largest to have regulated mobile wagering to date,” said Thomas Winter, president of GNOG.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for us to further increase our US footprint and deliver on our ambitious growth plans. We look forward to bringing our award-winning online offerings to the Prairie State.”GNOG going public
The deal comes as GNOG is in the process of going public. A special-purpose acquisitions company, Lancadia Holdings II, will acquire the digital business from Landry’s.
What’s interesting about this deal is that sports betting isn’t big business for GNOG. The Golden Nugget license is the highest earning of all online casinos in New Jersey. At the same time, it’s among the smallest NJ sportsbook operators.
But that’s by design. Golden Nugget’s brand has high visibility in the retail casino space, and the casino users are worth much more than sports bettors. GNOG has claimed that its average customer is worth around $7,700 over five years, more than triple DraftKings‘ estimate.
As a result, GNOG has focused on states where online casino is legal. It’s only active in New Jersey at the moment but will be coming to Pennsylvania as a qualified gaming entity and to Michigan when that state finally launches online gambling.
In that context, the choice to plunge into the Illinois market suggests that GNOG is confident that online casino gaming will come to Illinois in the near future. Asked about it, Winter told OnlinePokerReport as much:
“With the success of online gaming in NJ and PA, we are hopeful that IL, among many other casino states that have already regulated mobile sports betting, will see online gaming as the next logical step.”Tides are shifting toward IL online gambling
The state has tried and failed twice before to pass online casino laws. But now there is quite probably enough political will to get a bill through. Rush Street Interactive is very influential in the state —Rush Street Gaming runs the Rivers Casino outside of Chicago — and has also enjoyed major success with online casino in other states.
Like GNOG, Rush Street will soon be going public via a special-purpose acquisition company. And shareholders will surely want to see its casinos operating online in as many markets as possible.
That could help clear some of the previous obstacles to IL online casino — particularly if Golden Nugget is lobbying too.
Illinois’ next legislative session will begin in January. Keep an eye out for an online gambling bill on the docket.Brad Allen - Brad has been covering the online gambling industry in Europe and the US for more than four years, most recently as the news editor at EGR Global.
