There will be but who knows when? IL has been dragging ass on this compared to other states. Idk why since adjacent Iowa and Indiana were up and running quickly. At least it's finally in the state now though. Hopefully the momentum picks up now.

They need to get the bigger corporate properties up and running, the Caesars owned and Hollywoods and I'm sure someone will pop up at Wrigley since it's legal within the law to have books at sports stadiums in IL. Do any other states allow books at stadiums or is IL the only one right now?

I know we can't bet on Illinois college teams but at the window they told me I couldn't bet MSU to win their tournies as for now we can't bet on big ten teams. I don't Think that writer knew what they were talking about. They are still learning. Couldnt get a good vid, guy behind just got told to not take videos 3 mins after I sat down to video. Kiosks were much quicker lines.

How do the betting kiosks work? Do they require exact change or do they give you a voucher like a slot machine if you wanna cash out/take leftover money?

First book down here in Southern IL just across the river from St. Louis says they will be open 'in time for March madness' so hopefully that's accurate.

The St. Louis one is owned by Penn National out of Pennsylvania. It says they'll be using Kambi and barstool sports. Wtf is that? I've never heard of a Kambi book? Somebody fill me in.

One of you guys that went to rivers already is it Fanduel or Will Hill?

**PAULYPOKER** · 03-10-20, 12:54 PM

Kambi been in PA from the beginning as spin off from Unibet........

That's unreal man, I swear I've never heard of Kambi before until now. All the books I've ever been to were like caesars, mgm, w hill, pointsbet. What is Kambi's most well known property in Vegas or USA? Like my mind is blown how I've never been to one of their books before.

Fairmount Park, it's downstate by St. Louis, is a horse track and applied for a sports book license so that's cool but doesn't really help anyone into horses from other areas of the state I guess.

You can't bet college? Lol wtf is that.

So glad I live an hour from Biloxi where I can bet on anything and everything. Now stupid louisiana needs to get their head out of their ass and stop thinking sportsbetting is gonna take away from video poker and horses...

I used to live in Chicago btw.
