Online Launch: January 22, 2021
Penn National purchased the Greektown Casino in May 2019 to enter the Michigan gambling market, and just a short time later acquired 36% of Barstool Sports for $163 million with the intentions of using the Barstool brand as their U.S.-facing sportsbook brand. The much-anticipated online sportsbook had a successful launch in Pennsylvania in September 2020 and followed it up by opening its first retail location in Colorado one month later in November.
On December 23, 2020, the Greektown Casino opened its brick-and-mortar Barstool Sportsbook to the public for the first time ever, featuring 40 betting kiosks, a 30-foot video wall, and more than 20 high-definition televisions scattered throughout the room
