Insights

Gaming Operations Analyst

Century Casinos launched BetMGM retail and online sports betting at Cape Girardeau on Dec 1, 2025.

Century Casinos and BetMGM opened a BetMGM-branded retail sportsbook and simultaneous online wagering on Dec 1, 2025, offering pre-game, in-game and parlay options with manned windows, kiosks, HD screens and a bar in a high-visibility location at the Cape Girardeau property. The dual retail/online setup creates multiple revenue touchpoints and a fuller guest experience within the property footprint.

The main dependencies are measurable and operational: regulatory compliance in Missouri, user acquisition on the BetMGM app, and the conversion of casino foot traffic into sportsbook customers. Risks include initial promotional costs, integration of retail and online customer flows, and the pace of local adoption; none of these facts indicate operational failure or regulatory issues.

Watch customer wagering volume, online registration and geolocation activation metrics, retail footfall conversion rates, and early promotional spend over the next 6-12 months for a clearer view of financial contribution. Also monitor partnership execution with BetMGM and any Missouri regulatory updates affecting online wagering.
