Detroit Sportsbooks Now Serving Tennis, European Soccer And Asian Baseball

Can you rewrite the sentence or provide more context?

Last month’s US Open tennis tournament saw Naomi Osaka further cementing her young legend, but unfortunately, Detroit sports fans were unable to place bets on the event.

With the tennis world currently in France, all eyes are now on the Motor City as the bets start pouring in.

Detroit’s casinos have recently expanded their sports betting options to include tennis, European soccer, and Asian baseball, coinciding perfectly with the upcoming French Open.

Shortly before the commencement of the major tennis tournament, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) implemented the modifications.

From soccer to tennis, new bets at Detroit sportsbooks

The sports betting menu now includes all events from the Women’s Tennis Association and the Association of Tennis Professionals for men.

The inclusion of major international soccer leagues could potentially bring about the most significant and noticeable change. When the Detroit launch initially occurred, there were bets available for Major League Soccer, but notable European club leagues were notably absent from soccer betting options.

Sportsbooks may experience early morning crowds during English Premier League weekends, followed by an all-day affair as NFL games kick off later.

Greektown Casino, MGM Grand Detroit, and MotorCity Casino have expanded their sports wagering menu to include soccer options.

• The English Premier League
• The Spanish La Liga
• The Italy Serie A can be rewritten as the Italian Serie A.
• The German Bundesliga
• Europa
• The UEFA Champions League is a prestigious football competition.

In addition, the MGCB included Nippon Professional League baseball from Japan and the KBO League from South Korea.

Sports betting at Detroit casinos

After finalizing its regulations for retail sports betting, Michigan witnessed the Detroit casinos becoming the pioneers in launching sportsbooks in mid-March. Remarkably, the first bet was placed on March 11, just five days before the pandemic forced the closure of Detroit casinos for an extensive period of nearly five months.

There were a variety of sports to choose from, including:

• The sport of boxing, governed by the International Boxing Federation (IBF), World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC), and World Boxing Organization (WBO).
• College basketball includes Division 1 NCAA teams for both men and women.
• Only FBS teams participate in Division 1 NCAA Football.
• MLB
• MLS
• UFC and Bellator are both prominent organizations in the world of Mixed Martial Arts.
• NASCAR
• NBA
• NFL
• NHL
• Golf tournaments on the PGA Tour, LPGA, and European Tour.
• The Winter and Summer Olympics

Although it may appear overwhelming, during the course of the pandemic, many of the aforementioned sports opted to cancel, postpone, or delay the resumption of their seasons. Consequently, European soccer and Asian baseball occasionally stood as the sole options for sports betting.

Tribal casinos were already taking tennis bets

Currently, over ten of Michigan’s 23 tribal casinos have also established retail sportsbooks. However, it’s important to note that these establishments are not governed by MGCB regulations.

The River Rock Sportsbook & Grill, located at Little River Casino Resort in Manistee, provides a range of betting options, including esports and tennis markets. These particular markets have not yet been authorized in Detroit.

The state’s upcoming online gambling launches will be most significantly impacted by the addition of the new markets.

Only sports sanctioned by the MGCB can be bet on for those apps, which may begin statewide launch around Thanksgiving.

Even online sports betting platforms that are accessed through Michigan’s 12 federally recognized Native American tribes hold true to this fact.
