Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana is set to open its doors on February 13, 2025, bringing a premier gaming and entertainment experience to the Ark-La-Tex region.
As part of the highly anticipated $270+ million development, the casino will feature a state-of-the-art retail DraftKings Sportsbook inside Sports & Social, a top-tier sports bar and restaurant.
The DraftKings Sportsbook will provide an immersive sports betting experience, complete with a cutting-edge LED media wall, expert-crafted cocktails, and a lively gameday atmosphere.

Guests will have access to a full range of betting options, including live wagers and player proposition bets, across major leagues like the NFL and NBA.
“With the addition of the DraftKings Sportsbook, we are elevating the experience for sports fans,” said John J. Chaszar, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana. “From cheering on the Dallas Cowboys to LSU Tigers, this will be a top entertainment destination for the entire region.”
Michael Kibort, VP of Product Operations at DraftKings, added, “Our latest retail sportsbook will deliver a premier sports betting experience just in time for March Madness.”
Located along the Red River in Bossier City, Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana will feature over 1,000 slots, 40+ table games, an upscale hotel, a resort pool, and a 25,000-square-foot event center. Dining options include The Prime Rib®, PBR Cowboy Bar, Luk Fu, and Ridotto Grand Café.
Pending final approval from the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana aims to become a premier entertainment hub in the region.
