DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) and the Tulalip Tribes of Washington
today announced an exclusive market access partnership that will
bring the DraftKings retail sportsbook experience to the state of
Washington.
Plans are underway to open DraftKings retail sportsbook
locations at Tulalip Resort Casino and Quil Ceda Creek Casino, both
located just 30-minutes north of Seattle in Tulalip, WA. Initial
design plans for the DraftKings Sportsbook at Tulalip Resort
Casino, pending licensure and regulatory approvals, will feature a
5,000 square-foot space with a 50-foot video wall and more than two
dozen kiosks and eight ticket windows. The design of the DraftKings
Sportsbook at Quil Ceda Creek Casino is still early in the planning
phase but is expected to feature state of the art technology and
share the same world-class betting experience found across all
DraftKings branded retail sportsbooks.
"As we get ready to open our sportsbooks, we are excited to
announce our exclusive partnership with the best in the business,
DraftKings,” said Teri Gobin, Chairwoman, Tulalip Tribes. “We're
ready to take our gaming experience to the next level. Like
Tulalip, DraftKings is committed to excellence and, together, we're
going to give sports fans a one-of-a-kind experience. We can't wait
for our customers to share our journey as we build the newest
addition to our entertainment destinations."
Once operational, Washington will mark the 19th state in which
DraftKings is live with its Sportsbook product.
“Today marks an exciting day for DraftKings as we are set to
expand our sports betting footprint to the great Pacific
Northwest,” said Michael Kibort, Sr. Director, Retail Sportsbooks
at DraftKings. “In collaboration with the Tulalip Tribes of
Washington, we look forward to bringing the very best in real-money
gaming experiences to a state with a passionate fanbase spanning
major professional sports leagues.”

by the 1855 Treaty and by Executive Order of President U.S. Grant
dated December 23, 1873. It was created to provide a permanent home
