Even though Californians will not be able to participate in the sports betting festivities surrounding Super Bowl Sunday, casinos throughout The Golden State are preparing to throw parties to celebrate the big game.
Super Bowl LVII kicks off at 3:30 p.m. on Feb. 12 from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
Several casinos want you to watch the Super Bowl at their venues
Both propositions on California sports betting failed in last year’s election. According to estimates from PlayCA, the state would’ve received about $2 million in tax revenue from Super Bowl betting alone if sports betting was legal.
If you’re still looking for something to do, check out the following casinos’ parties and get in on the fun. For more details, visit the casino websites or call them directly.
