CLEVELAND (WJW) — The Cleveland Cavaliers hosted a ribbon-cutting event to celebrate the grand opening of Caesars Sportsbook at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Monday.
This event, which took place on the day after the sportsbook officially opened on New Year’s Day at 9 a.m., included a ceremonial first bet, special appearances by Cavs legends and a charitable donation of $20,000 to commemorate the first time that the sportsbook will be open on a game day.
