Attention Michigan Stoolies, get ready to place your bets. The long-awaited Barstool Sportsbook at Greektown Casino in Detroit will finally be opening its doors on Wednesday night, as announced by parent company Penn National Gaming in a recent news release.

However, the sportsbook’s reopening is contingent upon receiving final regulatory approval and is currently planned for December 23.

John Drake, vice president and general manager at Greektown, expressed his excitement about the opening of the new Barstool Sportsbook. In a release, he stated that the design of the sportsbook captures the essence of the Barstool Sports brand, creating an exceptional sports wagering experience that they anticipate their customers will thoroughly appreciate.
