BCLC to Open Retail PROLINE Sportsbook Lounges at Two Casinos
The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) is expanding its retail sportsbook offerings by opening two new PROLINE sportsbook lounges in the coming weeks.
Chances Casino Kelowna will host B.C.’s first in-person sportsbook lounge when the Chances Kelowna PROLINE Sportsbook Lounge opens for a sneak peek on Super Bowl Sunday before opening to the public the next day, on Monday, Feb. 10. The lounge will feature a massive 25-foot screen as well as food and drink and PROLINE betting.
BCLC will then open the province’s second in-person sportsbook lounge at Parq Casino in Vancouver in March.
A spokesperson from the crown corporation said that “the lounges offer something for sports lovers and sports bettors alike, including a best-in-class sports viewing experience and sports-betting terminals offering a full suite of competitive and live odds.”
“The sportsbook lounge is not just for sports betting, it is a go-to viewing destination for both regular gamedays and, for the biggest sporting events of the year, where B.C. sports fans and sports bettors can watch their favourite teams together, the home of the home team.”
BCLC has plans to introduce future sportsbook lounges at other casinos around the province.
Lounges will showcase BCLC’s modernized sportsbook
The two sportsbook lounges will be major showcases for BCLC’s expanded and revamped PROLINE, which it unveiled last fall on the eve of the NFL season. PROLINE replaced the Sports Action sportsbook that BCLC shut down last May after 33 years.
