Name change

DraftKings has announced that the Casino Queen in Illinois will now be known as DraftKings at Casino Queen. The sports betting and fantasy sports operator originally partnered with the East St. Louis casino in June.

As part of the relationship, DraftKings plans to open a retail sportsbook at the facility, as well as launch an online sportsbook in the state. Casino Queen has not yet gotten approval to start offering sports betting, though.

DraftKings’ chief business officer Ezra Kucharz spoke of the excitement within the company to be working with Casino Queen. He said: “Through this collaboration, we have the opportunity to change how fans engage with the sports they love, while becoming a part of the fabric of Illinois’ rich sports culture.”

Customers will consider only one choice for gaming and sports betting; DraftKings at Casino Queen.”

The president of the casino, Terry Downey, talked about how the relationship will help boost the “iconic” Casino Queen brand: “Customers will consider only one choice for gaming and sports betting; DraftKings at Casino Queen.”

Sports betting in Illinois

Sports betting was legalized in Illinois last year as part of an overall gambling expansion bill that also allowed for the development of six new casinos in the state. Retail sportsbooks opened for the first time in Illinois on March 9; BetRivers became the first online sportsbook in the state to launch on June 18.

As part of this legislation, it appeared that sports betting companies such as DraftKings and FanDuel would be excluded from the legal sports betting sector for the first 18 months because of a “penalty box” clause that was built into the legislation for online-only sportsbook operators. The likes of DraftKings and FanDuel, however, managed to find a way around this restriction by finding local partners.

DraftKings spreading its reach

DraftKings was initially the daily fantasy sports leader before jumping into the sports betting world when the Supreme Court ended the federal ban on the activity in May 2018.

President Casinos Inc

Ever since then, it has expanded across the United States, having operations in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Mississippi, Iowa, Indiana, and Colorado. It also recently went public through a reverse merger with the Diamond Eagle Acquisition Corporation and SBTech in April.

WYOMISSING, Pa., Dec. 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (the 'Company' or 'GLPI') (NASDAQ: GLPI), announced today that the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ: PENN) (“Penn National” or the “Company”) to sell to Penn National the operations of Hollywood Casino Perryville in Maryland for $31.1 million in cash, subject to certain customary working capital adjustments. Simultaneous with the closing of the transaction, GLPI will enter into a new lease with Penn National for the real estate assets associated with Hollywood Casino Perryville, for initial annual cash rent of approximately $7.77 million. The lease will have an initial term of 15 years with four 5-year extensions.

GLPI has also entered into a definitive agreement to sell the operations of Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge (“HCBR”) to Casino Queen Holding Company Inc. (“Casino Queen”) for $28.2 million. GLPI will retain ownership of all real estate assets at HCBR and will simultaneously enter into a master lease with Casino Queen, which will include both the DraftKings at Casino Queen (“DKCQ”) property in East St. Louis and the HCBR facility, for initial annual cash rent of approximately $21.4 million. The lease will have an initial term of 15 years with four 5-year extensions.

In conjunction with the transaction, GLPI will also have a right of first refusal with Casino Queen for other sale leaseback transactions up to $50 million over the next 2 years. GLPI will complete the previously announced landside development project at HCBR and the rent under the master lease will be adjusted upon delivery to reflect a yield of 8.25% on GLPI’s project costs.

Peter Carlino, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GLPI, commented, 'The sale of our operations in Baton Rouge and Perryville is bittersweet as both properties were foundational to the creation of GLPI seven years ago. We are grateful to the team members who do an amazing job managing these properties and delivering great guest entertainment and amenities, particularly in the face of the challenges brought on by the pandemic. We are confident that they are in good hands with the new operators of these properties and will continue to shine under Penn National and Casino Queen. By retaining the real estate of both Perryville and Baton Rouge, and continuing the development on the expansion in Baton Rouge, we retain a vested interested in their future. Finally, while we have decided to divest these operations to focus on our core business, our institutional knowledge and ability to operate gaming facilities at a high level remain intact should a compelling opportunity arise in the future.”

Terry Downey, President and ​Chief Executive Officer of Casino Queen commented further, “Casino Queen is pleased to be working with GLPI on this transaction. This gives us the opportunity to expand our regional footprint into the Baton Rouge area, a market which we are very excited about. We feel that with sports betting coming on, along with traditional gaming, we have a lot to offer to our valued customers.”

Both transactions are expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
