First Bettors Score at Delaware Park With Start of “Parlay-Mania”
WILMINGTON, Del.-(Business Wire)-September 16, 2009 - Hundreds of eager sports fans from Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland packed the Delaware Park Race and Sports Book this past weekend to place their first parlay sports bets on NFL games and enjoy the first Sunday of the NFL season.
"We’re very happy, very pleasantly surprised at the turnout and level of interest for week one," said Delaware Park Chief Operating Officer Andrew Gentile. "As the season goes on, we expect to offer more promotions and bring in even larger crowds.”
Delaware Park opened the sports book on Thursday after the Delaware Legislature earlier this year reinstituted parlay sports betting on NFL games. Gentile said the Delaware Lottery Office should have the final tally for the first week of parlay sports betting later this week.
Many of the fans this past weekend chose to gather in the expansive sport book area at Delaware Park. Patrons can watch NFL games from around the league on one of the largest indoor video displays, keep track of line information on a large video board and place bets at the sports book counter.
Meanwhile on the floor above, fans enjoyed food and drink specials in Delaware Park’s Club 3 Sports Bar. Patrons entered drawings for tickets to professional sporting events and entered a season-long drawing with a grand prize of air fare, room accommodations and two tickets to the BIG GAME in Miami, Florida.
“With our outstanding customer service, great food and drink specials and huge, state-of-the-art video walls, word is spreading fast that Delaware Park isn’t just the only legal game in town for parlay sports betting, it’s the best place in town to watch the NFL,” Gentile said.
Delaware Park offers parlay sports betting on NFL games in the ultimate gaming facility, including half-point parlay, teaser and super teaser cards, and “off the board” parlays. Parlay bets are accepted on a minimum of three NFL games. Parlay cards will be available in the Delaware Park Race and Sports Book area each Thursday by noon.
