That was the opinion of Les Bernal, national director of the group Stop Predatory Gambling, which dismissed the garage kiosks as merely a “lure” for smartphone betting.Įither way, for now, drive-up betting has found its audience. Or maybe the Express Sportsbook is a way for WynnBET to get customers used to betting with the brand, and then sticking with it by downloading their app later on.
Maybe it’s an option that appeals to people who want to place bets and then watch games from the comfort of their couch or local sports bar, but prefer using cash in person instead of firing up an app. Still, the spokeswoman said Encore plans to keep the garage kiosks open “long-term,” even when mobile apps are widely available.
