WHAT TO EXPECT AT CASINO SPORTSBOOKS
If you're heading to a retail sportsbook for the first time on Super Bowl Sunday, here's what to know:
- Arrival time: Get there 2-3 hours before kickoff for decent seating
- Betting windows: Lines can be long for retail bets. Consider using the mobile app even while at the casino
- Food and drinks: Most sportsbooks have servers, but service can be slow on big events. Grab drinks early
- Atmosphere: Expect loud cheering, groaning, and reactions. It's a communal experience
- Prop betting: Retail may have limited props compared to mobile. Check both

Many smart bettors go to the casino for the atmosphere but use mobile apps for actual betting. You get the best odds (from line shopping) and the sportsbook energy. Best of both worlds.
