The Cordish Cos. is moving into sports betting through a new deal with bookmaker FanDuel.
The Baltimore-based developer of casinos, hotels and entertainment districts — including downtown’s Power Plant Live and the Live Casino & Hotel in Anne Arundel County — announced on Thursday a strategic partnership with FanDuel that will bring fantasy and sports betting operations to its properties around the country.
The agreement will mean “unique promotions and sports engagement opportunities that will only be available at Live properties,” Joseph Weinberg, a principal at the Cordish Cos., said in a statement.
The partnership will launch in Pennsylvania, where Cordish plans to open a FanDuel sportsbook at the Live Casino & Hotel in Philadelphia and the Live Casino in Westmoreland County. Sportsbooks at other Cordish properties will follow, the developer said.
