Sports betting apps in Nevada usually lag behind those available in other states. However, later this year, sports bettors in the Silver State will finally have access to an app that matches the quality of those available to players outside of Nevada.
Currently, Caesars is using a distinct app in Nevada, the Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill, which is different from what is offered in most other states with legal sports betting. Essentially, this app is a replica of the William Hill Nevada sports betting app.
Eric Hession, Co-president of Caesars Digital, revealed plans for the latest version of the Caesars Sports app during the company’s recent earnings call.
Looking forward to the latter half of the year, we anticipate numerous major enhancements to our products that will benefit our customers. Key areas of focus include improving cash out speed, customer service, and parlay and alternative line offerings.
We also plan to switch all of our Caesars’ branded apps and sportsbooks to our Liberty tech stack by the end of 2022.
The critical piece of information for sports bettors in Nevada in this quote is the last sentence. It states that Caesars will introduce its most recent mobile technology to all regions where the Caesars sportsbook app is available.
Look for the new Caesars Sports app by the end of 2022
Hession did not disclose a specific date for when Nevada sports bettors could access the latest version of the Caesars Sports app. However, he did provide a timeframe for its availability.
If Hession’s “end of 2022” timeline is accurate, Nevada football bettors should be able to use the new Caesars Sports app before the season ends. However, the app may not be ready in time for the start of the college and pro football seasons in a few weeks.
Despite the introduction of a new menu and betting options, Caesars and other sportsbook operators in Nevada focus on the football season to update their mobile apps and physical locations, wherever football fans may be viewing the games.
Football is the king of sports betting in Nevada
The football season is a crucial period for sportsbook operators. This is usually the most active season for sports bettors in Nevada, both on mobile sports betting apps and within casinos.
UNLV Gaming reports that last year, Nevada casinos made the most money from betting on professional and college football compared to any other sport.
Typically, pro and college football attract the most money from sports bettors every year. However, last year was an anomaly for sports betting in Nevada.
For the first time in years, a bit more money was wagered on basketball than football. Nevertheless, football bets still proved more profitable for sportsbooks.
The company is promoting the new Caesars Sports app, stating that it will provide a wider selection of betting options. This will include an increase in live betting opportunities and same-game parlays.
Same-game parlays, while available across the nation, are less prevalent in Nevada. This type of bet is precisely as its name suggests. It’s a parlay bet that encompasses multiple outcomes for a single game.
An example of a same-game parlay for the Las Vegas Raiders might include the following:
- Raiders to win
- To exceed the total points.
- Derek Carr tosses five touchdown passes.
- Catching 10 passes, Darren Waller.
Gamblers nationwide are indulging in same-game parlays. The ability to place various bets at a single price for their preferred team adds a touch of excitement to game-watching.
Caesars is keen on releasing the latest version of its app as soon as possible. This could potentially enable the company to generate more revenue than the current version, thanks to the new betting features.
