Guests of the WynnBet Sportsbook at Encore Boston Harbor have the ability to place wagers at one of ten, over-the-counter wagering windows located in the state-of-the art, 130+ seat sportsbook lounge. The casino also features one hundred and twenty self-service betting kiosks, conveniently located throughout the property, including an “Express” sportsbook located on the first floor of the free self-parking garage, which provides guests quick access to 20 betting kiosks.
