Atlantic City, New Jersey – New Jersey has argued for over 8 years to legalize sports betting, and in 2018 the U.S. Supreme Court gave them their win in a 6-3 decision.

- Double-sided sports ticker updating sports bettors on scores for all current games
- 12 betting kiosks and 5 wagering windows
- Fully immersive audiovisual experience- even in both bathrooms- never miss a play!
- Stadium-style seats with built in chargers

On Time, On Budget, On Point
The DraftKings Sportsbook in Atlantic City was completed on budget and on time for a late November opening, and has received glowing reviews from fans who can seamlessly toggle between the DraftKings app, website, and live odds in front of them. There’s no need to rely on betting slips in this fully digital experience.
Some of the AV Technology built in to the system hasn’t even been seen before. “The ticker at this Book is…the most impressive in the US”, Eric Winnicki, Senior Project Manager with McCann Systems said. Stephen Weiss with C-Scape, the content manager for the double-sided ticker, added, “We were thrilled to work with McCann Systems to bring this installation to life.”
