Betfred Sports to cater traditional-style service

The Draft Room at Paragon Casino Resort will become the first in the region to embrace a traditional, Las Vegas-style sportsbook. It will feature a theatre setting, a custom video wall, betting counters, and kiosks.  

The Draft Room will be offering full-service betting, allowing locals and out-of-state travelers to bet on their favorite teams and players wherever they are playing in the country. 

To complete the sports betting experience, The Betfred-powered sportsbook outlet also functions as a bar and restaurant. There, sports betting enthusiasts get to mingle with each other and avail their “fan favorite” foods, draught beers, and multiple seating options. 

The outlet also displays 112 TVs surrounded by tables and bar seating. It also sets up three VIP fan caves for private gatherings. 

The Paragon has become a one-stop-shop for leisure and casino entertainment in Central Louisiana, boasting a 64,000-square-foot gaming floor, 1,000 Las Vegas-style slot machines, and 500 hotel rooms for out-of-town guests.

With five million people and two major league teams, Central Louisiana looks poised to become one of the busiest sports betting hubs in the Bayou area.
