Cantor Gaming Launches New Race and Sports Book at Tropicana Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Cantor Gaming, an affiliate of global financial services firm Cantor
Fitzgerald, L.P., announces the opening today of its newest race and
sports book at the Tropicana Las Vegas. Cantor Gaming is the exclusive
operator of the new 4,200 square ft, state-of-the-art race and sports
book. With the addition of Tropicana Las Vegas, Cantor Gaming now
operates four race and sports books in Nevada.
Cantor's approach to sports wagering is to replicate the Wall Street
model, in which patrons can place numerous bets on different outcomes
throughout a game. In the same way that prices in the financial markets
are constantly updated, Cantor's lines and spreads change continuously
as the action evolves.
Wagering takes place on fixed trading stations within the sports book,
or on Cantor's proprietary mobile gaming devices.
Lee Amaitis, President and CEO of Cantor Gaming, said: "We have an
unparalleled database of statistics on team and player performances, and
a technology platform that is accustomed to processing over $140
trillion in financial transactions every year. Our deep knowledge of
algorithms and statistics enables us to manage risk across our books in
such a way that we can and will take any sized bet, including on the Big
Game this coming weekend. We've made sports wagering completely
interactive - it's no longer a passive, wait-and-see game."
"We are extremely pleased with our partnership with Cantor Gaming to
present a state-of-the-art Race and Sports Book as part of our overall
transformation of Tropicana Las Vegas. We believe this partnership will
not only bring a superior contribution to the Las Vegas Strip, but will
also add another 'Best in Class' venue at Tropicana Las Vegas as we
redefine the ultimate resort experience," said Tom McCartney, President
and C.O.O. of Tropicana Las Vegas.
Cantor will also offer its eDeck mobile gaming devices at Tropicana Las
Vegas, to be launched in the coming weeks. eDeck will allow patrons to
wager on their favorite team outside of the sports book, in
pre-designated areas of the resort and will offer numerous casino-style
games, developed exclusively by Cantor Gaming.
