Sports-betting in NC almost here..

They’ve already started building the sportsbook at Cherokee. I go once or twice a month to play poker and they are moving forward like it’s going through. Also Cherokee is building a new poker room.

Jealous. The sports players will trickle into poker, should be slightly better games once it begins.

are you serious .. That’s wonderful to know man.. Cherokee is much closer to atl then Biloxi .. you don’t know how happy you just made me..

They are also building a 3rd tower for hotel rooms. Yes it’s in the middle of nowhere but only a 3 hour drive for me. This casino pulls from Charlotte, Atlanta, so a lot of good action. The new sports book and poker room will be right beside each other and look to be very nice.

So on monday the state house approved it.The senate did in march.All
we are waiting for is for the Governor to sign the bill and the Cherokee tribe can offer sports wagering.

Dsgator! Can you confirm that the sportsbook is still being built!? I would think that they would be ready to go once Cooper signs the bill! Wonder how soon?!

Best of luck with it

SBR_Guest_Pro · 07-18-19, 11:06 PM

good luck

jjgold · 07-19-19, 05:24 AM

Us posters that have it already nothing to brag about, very generic lines and Euro run

Only think that is faster than offshore is the $$ transactions because it is legal so many many options

Ant23 · 07-19-19, 07:58 AM

The entire state of NC will probably be one of the last to allow sportsbooks/casinos in the entire state. The elders here love to refer NC as being a part of the Bible Belt and gambling is such a BAD thing to do. NC was one of the last states to legalize the lottery...but only after tons of $$$$ were flowing into Va & SC. Only after it was labeled as the "education lottery" did the old farts in govt finally pass it.
NC has mountains, beaches, nationally known lakes........but not 1 casino that isn't in Cherokee!!! WAKE UP ELECTED OFFICIALS.......this isn't 1959.....it's 2019!!!

Agreed still not can not bet legally on the horses either. Bill pending to allow pari-mutuel wagering on the ponies. Those against it consider it predatory gambling

. C'mon man.

DukeSnider · 07-19-19, 06:07 PM

similar to NYS where only onsite sports betting at 4 designated casinos is legal.

Ant23 · 07-19-19, 06:29 PM

Living about an hour north of Raleigh,NC it's easier for me to hit I85-I95 and go to MGM in Md. or continue I95 North to New Jersey. I wish these old farts would get their heads outta their a$$e$ & do what many other states have done in allowing sportsbooks/casinos in the entire state. They could make it "illegal" to vote on any events in involving NC teams so that would cancel any ideas of betting Duke, UNC, or the Carolina Panthers in the NFL. Since I'm not a BONUS CHASER I really like walking up to a window and making a bet & returning to collect should it win.

That would be sooooooooooo nice.........let me stop dreaming!!

jjgold · 07-19-19, 09:12 PM

Guys driving hours to bet high juice lines

Ant23 · 07-19-19, 10:26 PM

Jjsilver....nope...lines in w.v. we're very close to my offshore books.....cool part was being able to sit at a LIVE Blackjack game & Poker with couple of idiots......when u assume u make an ASS outta U & ME

beefcake · 07-29-19, 12:03 PM

Its now legal in nc!!

Please if anyone knows the status of the book in Cherokee please let me know.

burrissa · 07-29-19, 12:22 PM

It still couldn't be any further away from me as I live in coastal NC. I know the Lumbee tribe has tribal lands near Lumberton, NC which I-95 runs right by there. Would be nice if they could get a casino and sports book there. Only an hour from the coast instead of 6 hours to the mountains.

beefcake · 07-29-19, 12:31 PM

Im going on vaca in the smokeys next month.I already have friends wanting to give me money to make NFL futures bets at the casino..LOL

jjgold · 07-29-19, 01:14 PM

Lol

Good luck

dsgator55 · 07-29-19, 01:34 PM

Beefcake, it’s in the process of being built. Should be ready soon!

5mike5 · 07-29-19, 01:38 PM

Might drive over the mountains and check it out next month if im bored enough

jts1207 · 07-29-19, 01:39 PM

Hearing not until 2020 at the earliest

Otters27 · 07-29-19, 01:46 PM

Curious to see what happens to offshore come September

KVB · 07-29-19, 02:32 PM

A lot of expansion going on in the States but why focus on offshore? They offshore business is huge globally, it's not about the US.

They won't be affected like a lot of posters seem to think.

On the other hand, the us markets, state by state, are being affected...they are being allowed to exist.

The money seeking the best lines won't care where we get down, just that it's done with the best numbers and in accordance with some strategy of hiding online activity.

That's it. Bigger money will flow to the lower juice.

One thing I see happening is there will be less offshore books popping up, trying to take advantage of the US player's thirst to get down...those books of course all being scams.

Now the US player can go across town, no matter how desperate, and avoid the potential scams.

Ant23 · 07-29-19, 02:52 PM

Before you get your hopes too high realize that it's only 2 casinos about 50 miles apart on the western part of NC on an Indian reservation. NO Mobile & NO online wagers will be accepted......so even though it sounds good for the south/east it ain't!!!!!

KVB · 07-29-19, 02:55 PM

Tribes are the problem out here in California. Squashing all legislation in the past.

Harrah’s Cherokee Casinos to Open Sportsbooks
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
July 29, 2019 - Cherokee, NC
Harrah’s Cherokee Casinos is excited to bring a new game to town. On Friday, Governor Roy Cooper signed Senate Bill 154 into law, allowing the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to open sportsbooks at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort and Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino & Hotel. Guests will soon be able to wager on collegiate and professional sports as well as on off-track horse racing at both locations.
Development of The Book, at both locations, will begin immediately and is expected to be completed late fall. The resort in Cherokee will open in a temporary location in what is currently Sound Bytes at UltraStar Multi-tainment Center.
The Book at Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino & Hotel will be located near the promotions stage.
“This is an exciting time,” said Brooks Robinson, Regional Senior Vice President and General Manager of Harrah’s Cherokee Casinos. “We continuously work to offer new experiences and opportunities to our customers and are confident that our new sportsbook will be an added delight for our guests and sports fans.”

Gator, I agree. Keep us abreast of any timing.

Any chance they throw something together in time to get some football action? Maybe not week01, but late Sept?

You are right. That place is flowing w/ $$. SEC-country can't wait to bet on games.
