Caesars Entertainment has launched a new retail sportsbook facility inside the Northfield Park Racino in Ohio following a new partnership with Clairvest Group, which recently acquired the property from MGM Resorts International for $546m. 

The retail sportsbook features a LED video wall, five betting windows and Caesars Sportsbook self-service betting kiosks, as the operator currently serves as the official sports betting partner of the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA franchise. 

“Northfield Park Racino gives us a strong new venue to connect with Northeast Ohio sports fans in a high-traffic entertainment destination,” Caesars Digital President Eric Hession said. 

“Its location just outside Cleveland, a market defined by some of the most passionate sports fans in the country, pairs our industry-leading technology with a lively atmosphere that enhances how fans watch and wager on sports throughout the year.”

MGM Resorts officially completed the sale of its Northfield Park property to private equity funds managed by Clairvest on April 21, originally announced during October 2025. MGM Resorts anticipates net cash proceeds to be approximately $420m after taxes and transaction costs.

Northfield Park Racino GM Kevin Brady also spoke on the retail sportsbook’s launch, having said, “We’re excited to partner with Caesars Sportsbook to bring even more energy and excitement to our guest experience. 

“This collaboration is a strong addition to our Overtime Bar and Grill, enhancing the overall sports fan atmosphere and entertainment offering.”

In Las Vegas, the Westgate SuperBook will soon operate as the Westgate SuperBook, powered by Caesars Sportsbook, following a new partnership between the entities formed in late April 2026. 

The ownership transition is planned to take place before the start of the 2026-2027 NFL regular season in September, with Caesars providing oversight for race and sportsbook operations and technology.

Caesars will also expand the SuperBook’s wagering capabilities to include same game parlays and live in-play betting for professional and collegiate sports across the operator’s retail and digital platforms.
