Caesars Entertainment Inc. accepted sports wagers in Oregon for the first time, made possible through a partnership with the Coquille Indian Tribe in Coos Bay. The ceremonial first bet was placed on Caesars Sportsbook self-service wagering kiosks inside the Coquille Indian Tribe’s premier gaming and hospitality destination, Ko-Kwel Casino Resort | Coos Bay, previously known as The Mill Casino, which now celebrates its 30th anniversary.

Caesars has enhanced Coquille’s sports viewing experience at its premier destination with a large fleet of Caesars Sportsbook self-service betting kiosks, conveniently located on the casino floor. These kiosks feature a best-in-class wagering menu with a wide array of same game parlays, player props, futures and live in-play markets. Sports fans 21 and older can enjoy the gold standard of sports wagering, including unmatched full college sports offerings which are not otherwise available on a statewide mobile basis in Oregon, reflecting Caesars’ and the Coquille Indian Tribe’s shared commitment to providing world-class experiences.

“We remain committed to supporting Indian gaming, and we’re proud to partner with the Coquille Indian Tribe to enhance their guest experience. Bringing our sports wagering offering to a new jurisdiction for the first time is always significant, and we know offering our expansive menu of sports wagering markets will undoubtedly enhance the exceptional experience that the Coquille Indian Tribe provides to its guests,” said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital.

“We are proud to have this iconic gaming brand join us, as both brands have represented excellence in the industry for decades. This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to advancing gaming opportunities and enhancing guest satisfaction. We are excited to collaborate with such a distinguished brand and look forward to creating even more memorable sports wagering experiences for our guests,” said Margaret Simpson, CEO of the Coquille Economic Development Corporation.

Oregon’s newest in-person sports wagering destination at Ko-Kwel Casino Resort | Coos Bay provides a responsible environment for guests to wager on their favourite sporting events, supported by the longstanding commitment to Responsible Gaming that both Caesars and the Coquille Indian Tribe have upheld for decades.
