Illinois gambling operator Accel Entertainment has announced a deal with DraftKings Inc, the digital sports betting company under which Accel’s 2,300 locations in the state will promote DraftKings content.
This will include the Accel in-location digital display screens. The deal will bring top gaming products to bars and other venues in Illinois and the only US-based vertically integrated sports betting operator with production ranging from daily fantasy regulated gaming and digital media.
The news comes after the recent successful launch of the DraftKings at Casino Queen Sportsbook app and the opening of a retail sports book at DraftKings at Casino Queen Casino in East St. Louis, Illinois.
