As reported by the Detroit Free Press: “Starting today, metro Detroiters
will be able to cross the Canadian border to Windsor and place live bets on
sports, something that is legal in the United States only in Nevada. “Casino
Windsor officials are betting the move will attract sports-crazy metro
Detroiters to Legends, its new sports lounge, helping to ease the malaise
that has lingered over the Windsor casino business following travel
restrictions imposed after 9/11. “.Casino Windsor will offer betting in
hockey, professional football, baseball and college basketball and football,
said Chris Parrott, category brand manager at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming
Corp., which oversees casino operations in Canada.”
