FanDuel Senior Director of Retail Operations Jeff Lowich noted the process of converting FanDuel Sportsbook & Horse Racing into a full-on racino is still in the early stages, and that Monday’s ribbon-cutting was a big step to that end. The FanDuel Group has been associated with horse racing since its 2018 purchase of TVG, which allows bettors to wager via advance deposit wagering in Illinois. Overall, this is the 16th retail sportsbook FanDuel has opened.
