Caesars Entertainment and Monmouth Park today celebrated the grand opening of a world-class trackside Caesars Sportsbook at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, New Jersey. Local dignitaries joined Caesars Entertainment and Monmouth Park leadership to commemorate the opening of the state-of-the-art sportsbook, bar and restaurant with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting event.

The all-new standalone venue adjacent to the Monmouth Park clubhouse features 16,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor sports viewing space, including unmatched sweeping views of the historic racetrack. Caesars Sportsbook at Monmouth Park includes wall-to-wall video, more than 25 best-in-class self-service betting kiosks, a remarkable center bar, and an exclusive VIP section. The sportsbook also features a Shake Shack location inside serving Shake Shack’s beloved full signature menu, including ShackBurgers, crinkle-cut fries, the Chicken Shack sandwich and more. Pari-mutuel race wagering is also available.

“It’s fitting to open this cutting-edge venue at Monmouth Park, where legal sports betting in New Jersey first launched, and add to its rich history,” said Dan Shapiro, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer at Caesars Digital. “With this investment, we are proud to continue to support horse racing in the Garden State. We expect that the new integrated sports wagering experience will draw new fans from the Jersey Shore and beyond.”

“We are so proud to partner with Caesars and delighted to offer fans this new state-of-the-art sportsbook,” said Dennis Drazin, Chairman and CEO of Darby Development LLC, operators of Monmouth Park Racetrack. “This has been a long time in the making, and it’s satisfying to finally see it come to fruition as we continue the expansion of the Monmouth Park facility as a top entertainment and gaming destination in the State.”

Today marks the culmination of Caesars Sportsbook at Monmouth Park’s evolution into a preeminent in-person sportsbook. In 2018, Monmouth Park made history by accepting the state’s first legal in-person sports wager following the overturning of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA).

Sports fans 21 and older in New Jersey can also access the Caesars Sportsbook & Casino app via desktop or by downloading it on iOS and Android. The app offers a robust sports wagering menu that includes same-game parlays, player props, futures, live in-play betting markets and tools that encourage responsible play, including Deposit Limits, Spending Limits, Daily Time Limits, and Cool Off Time Limits. Sports fans can also enjoy livestreaming of thousands of marquee sporting events, including NFL games, within the app. The app also offers a dynamic online casino experience with a range of unique games from top providers, Caesars-branded games and timeless casino classics.
