Circa Sports is entering the Illinois sports wagering market by joining forces with Full House Resorts. This alliance will introduce the Circa Sports brand to Illinoisans through a mobile wagering application and a brick-and-mortar sportsbook at the upcoming American Place establishment in Waukegan.
Established in 2019 by Derek Stevens, Circa Sports has been growing its presence nationwide. They are already operational in multiple states, including Nevada, Colorado, and Iowa, with a premier sportsbook at Circa Resort & Casino in the heart of Las Vegas.
Notably, Circa Resort & Casino has a background of joint efforts, having previously teamed up with FullTime Fantasy Sports for the Circa-branded Fantasy Football World Championships and Las Vegas Fantasy Championships.
Circa Sports is also recognized for its professional football competitions, such as the Circa Million IV and Circa Survivor, which came back to Las Vegas in August offering a massive $12 million prize fund.
On a separate note, Circa Resort & Casino recently improved its visitor experience by incorporating Amazon’s Alexa Smart Properties (ASP) into its accommodations. This enables guests to utilize voice instructions for various amenities, like finalizing their stay and requesting meals.
Full House Resorts, capitalizing on the achievements of its recently launched gaming venue, The Temporary, also announced favorable financial outcomes for the 2023 fiscal year. The Temporary features 1,000 slot machines, 50 table games, and a variety of dining choices.
Residents of Illinois will have the opportunity to engage with Circa Sports in the near future, utilizing their innovative mobile wagering application or paying a visit to the recently established sportsbook at American Place Casino, located in Waukegan.
In recognition of this momentous occasion, Chicago Bears icon Brian Urlacher will be present on October 4th for a fan meet-and-greet. The day will also feature a variety of other activities, including, naturally, the chance to partake in some wagering!
